Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Many of the 21st century’s advancing technologies, e.g., electric vehicles (and hybrids), portable electronic devices, and renewable energy systems, drive the demand for high-performance energy storage systems. In fact, the increasing demand for processable, lightweight, flexible energy storage materials has motivated researchers from both academia and industry to develop new dielectric materials that combine good dielectric properties with excellent mechanical properties, thermal stability, and high energy density to name a few depending upon the targeted applications.
The present Special Issue is aimed at presenting the current state-of-the-art in the dielectric materials to address the various challenging issues researchers are confronted with in this field for a number of applications especially for energy storage.
This Special Issue of Energies invites innovative contributions in terms of research articles, reviews, communications, and letters around the globe. Potential topics include, but are not limited to dielectric materials based on ceramics, polymers, liquid dielectric, polymer composites, nanocomposites, low-k /high-k dielectrics, surface modification of dielectric materials, and advanced applications in energy storage.

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. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
