Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With rapid progress in modern technology, the demand for energy storage devices is increasing day by day. For most of the renewal energy sources, storage of energy for a required time is a big challenge even after the availability of sources. Supercapacitors have been considered as one of the most evolving and efficient technologies amongst many energy storage strategies. The supercapacitors have the ability to store electrical charge in an electric double layer at the interface of electrode and electrolyte. The SCs global market was estimated at $1.5 billion in 2017, and their demand is uninterruptedly increasing, which will be doubled over the coming years. Over the past few years, many special types of electrode materials have been introduced to fabricate high-performance supercapacitors with high energy density, enhanced cycling stability, and improved capacitance. Different synthetic approaches have been developed to fabricate diverse types of supercapacitors like flexible, wearable, hybrid-types supercapacitors, micro-supercapacitors etc. It is expected that these supercapacitor devices will play an important role in the electronics world in near future.
This open-access special issue will bring together original research, mini-review, research prospect and comprehensive state-of-the-art articles on the latest innovations in supercapacitor technologies. This special issue highlights novel synthetic strategies, innovative electrode materials, and distinctive device fabrication techniques for supercapacitor applications. The key feature of this special issue is to deliver the latest cutting-edge innovations in supercapacitor technologies. We invite all the researchers to submit their work related to the synthesis strategies and fabrication techniques of supercapacitors.
Research areas of this special issue comprise, but are not restricted to:
- Electrode materials
- Latest 2D materials
- Hybrid nanomaterials
- Electrochemical behavior of nanomaterials
- Energy materials
- Advanced synthetic approaches
- Biomass-derived carbon nanomaterials
- Microporous and mesoporous materials
- Nano carbons (Graphene, Graphene Oxide, CNTs, Nanoionics, Fullerenes etc.)

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.
