Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Growing energy demand for the next-generation of high capacity energy storage systems depends on the discovery of a novel class of materials exhibiting high energy density, low cost, high abundance and environmental friendliness. A broad range of materials have been examined to address the challenges identified in energy storge devices such as batteries and solid oxide fuel cells. Major breakthroughs in new materials are still crucial to improve the performance of the devices required for large-scale applications. A greater fundamental understanding of new classes of materials is necessary to optimise the performance of the devices.
Advanced computational modelling techniques have played a significant role in the experimental characterisation and the prediction of novel materials and their properties. Advanced modelling techniques—including interatomic potential-based methods and electronic structure methods have the ability to examine defect chemistry, ion transport, nanostructures, and surfaces—which are often difficult to explore through experiments. This Special Issue will focus on the fundemental understanding of energy-related materials using advanced computational modelling techniques.

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.
