Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental and energy issues have become increasingly prominent, making the demand for electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices urgent, such as the application of Li-ion batteries, and supercapacitors in portable electronic devices and electric vehicles, as well as the preparation of renewable clean energy and high value-added chemicals via electrolytic water and electrolytic mixed water systems. The research of symmetrical electrode materials first began in supercapacitors; there is relatively litte research into Li-ion battery and electrocatalysis systems. Symmetrical electrode materials, that is, those in the same system, the same active electrode materials can be used for both cathode and anode. Because of this characteristic, the symmetrical electrochemical system with symmetrical electrode material as cathode and anode has incomparable advantages, such as weakening the changes of device volume expansion and contraction and simplifying and reducing the production process and cost. The development of high-performance symmetrical electrode materials plays an important role in promoting the further application of electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices.

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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
