Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrochemical energy storage provides the advantages of versality, flexibility, and high efficiency. The expansion of portable electronics and electric vehicles (EVs) worldwide stimulates and enhances the demand and development of electrochemical energy storage materials. Currently, advanced electrochemical energy storage materials primarily center on lithium (Li)-based materials such as lithium cobalt oxide and lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In an LIB, the components are mainly an anode (negative), a cathode (positive), a separator, and an electrolyte. For grid energy storage, redox flow batteries (RFBs) are preferred owing to their capability of storing large amounts of electrical energy with high efficiency at low costs. This Special Issue is devoted to the development of LIBs and RFBs with regard to current processes and technologies.
Potential topics for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The development of advanced materials for LIBs such as nanostructured materials, low-dimensional (LD) electrode materials, and core/shell-structured materials at the nanoscale.
- The development of materials with unique configurations such as materials with hollow structures.
- The development of LIB cathode materials in addition to LiCoO2, LiNi1‑xCoxO2, LiNixMnyCozO2, LiMn2O4, LiMnO2, LiFePO4, LiTiS2, etc.
- The development of LIB anode materials in addition to graphite, Li4TiO12, etc.
- The development of LIB electrolytes in addition to LiPF6, LiBF4, LiClO4, LiSO2, LiB(C2O4)2, etc.
- Improvements in current RFBs such as all-vanadium RFBs, magnesium/vanadium RFBs, and vanadium/cerium RFBs.
- The development of new RFBs.

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.
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.
