Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Various energy storage technologies can mitigate the fluctuations and intermittence of renewable energies and provide cleaner energy supplies for people to meet the goals of SDG7. Fast development and giant advances have been reported in energy storage technologies in recent years. To further extend the advantages of energy storage technologies and achieve a more sustainable society, enhancing energy efficiency and optimizing thermal design in energy storage systems are two of the most important technical routes, and they have been widely investigated worldwide. In view of this, this Special Issue aims to provide a temporary platform for spreading knowledge and solutions regarding energy storage systems from the aspects of enhancing energy efficiency and optimizing thermal design. We welcome the submission of original research articles, review articles, and other papers. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Thermal energy storage;
- Electrochemical energy storage;
- Compressed air energy storage;
- Hydrogen energy storage;
- Multi-scale composite energy storage;
- Renewable energy utilization;
- Heat-to-electricity technologies;
- Thermal management of energy storage systems;
- Distributed energy systems;
- Other energy storage technologies.

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
