Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid expansion of renewable energy technologies and the global push for zero-emission solutions have intensified research into advanced energy storage systems like supercapacitors. These devices, with their high power density and fast charge–discharge cycles, hold great promise for applications requiring efficient energy storage. Supercapacitors are primarily categorized as electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) and pseudocapacitors. While EDLCs are widely commercialized due to their cycling stability and simplicity, pseudocapacitors, which offer higher energy densities, face challenges related to their complex manufacturing and material degradation.
This Special Issue, "Structure and Performance Regulation of Supercapacitors", aims to explore the critical factors influencing supercapacitor performance, including electrode material composition, structural design, and electrolyte optimization. It provides an overview of the recent advancements in supercapacitor technology, with a focus on overcoming the limitations of existing fabrication methods and addressing the performance bottlenecks. The Issue will also cover the latest research on degradation mechanisms and strategies for enhancing the scalability and sustainability of supercapacitors, providing insights into future research directions.

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. Materials 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.
