Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue “High-Performance Dielectric Ceramic Films and Coatings for Energy Storage Capacitors”.
Dielectric ceramics films and coatings with high permittivity and high breakdown strength are required for applications including high-charge capacitors and energy storage devices, where dielectric composites could find their position as potential candidates. As one important part of the family, dielectric ceramics for energy storage capacitors are widely used in both civil and military applications and are especially suitable for pulsed power capacitors due to their high power densities and fast discharge rates. With the increasing demand for lightweight, miniaturized and compact electronic devices, the research on dielectric materials with high-energy-storage performance has attracted more and more attention.
This Special Issue aims to discuss and present significant new findings related to the synthesis, fabrication, structure, properties, performance, and technological application, in addition to the strategies and policies, of dielectric ceramics for energy storage capacitors and their devices for sustainable energy and development. Papers that have high scientific and technological merit, impart important new knowledge and are of high interest to the international community will be published.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:
- Ceramic powders;
- Composite ceramic materials;
- Dielectric ceramic films;
- Dielectric ceramic coatings;
- Glass ceramics;
- Ceramic–polymer dielectric materials;
- Special structures of dielectric materials;
- Interface effects of dielectrics;
- Characterization techniques for ceramics.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Coatings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
