Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The energy problem is one of the major challenges for humans in the long term. Advanced energy storage technology has been playing an increasingly important role in society. The development of energy storage technology is inseparable from the progress of energy storage materials. In the development of solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy, geothermal energy, and fuel cell power generation technology, it is necessary to store electrical energy efficiently to meet the needs of storage and modulation of power output.
At present, the research on energy storage materials is very active, and various types of energy storage technologies for different applications are developing rapidly. The development of new materials is still the main content of energy storage technology. The basic research of energy storage materials includes energy storage mechanisms, thermodynamics, kinetics, microstructure, physicochemical properties and their evolution, interfaces and surfaces, defects, size effects, controllable synthesis, advanced characterization, and multi-scale theoretical simulations.
Besides, new energy storage systems are emerging, and the indicators of energy storage technologies are being broken. The research on serving behavior, failure mechanism, and scale preparation technology of actual energy storage devices is also increasing.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:
- Advanced cathode and anode materials;
- Novel electrolytes and separators;
- New energy storage devices;
- Interface engineering and energy storage mechanism;
- In situ characterization technology for energy storage materials;
- Machine learning and simulation for material screening and properties prediction.
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. 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.
