Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue, we would like to invite submissions of interesting papers that highlight the promise of novel materials and fabrication technology for high-performance supercapacitors. Interest in high-performance energy storage devices is exponentially increasing, necessitating the development of novel electrode materials. Researchers have demonstrated that supercapacitors built with novel materials exhibit high capacitance with interesting functionalities such as mechanical flexibility, optical transparency, structural self-healability, and biodegradablity. These supercapacitors are expected to play a central role in futuristic electronics as a main or auxiliary energy storage device. Various techniques are being developed for the fabrication of supercapacitor electrodes and their precise integration with flexible substrates, such as films and fibers. These techniques enable miniaturization of supercapacitors, which offers another great opportunity to realize wearable supercapacitors.
This Special Issue covers various topics related to novel materials and technologies for cutting-edge supercapacitors, including but not limited to the following:
- Microsupercapacitor;
- Synthesis techniques for electrode materials;
- Mesoporous materials
- Carbon nanomaterials;
- Laser-induced graphene;
- Pseudocapacitive materials;
- Flexible current collectors;
- Pyrolysis techniques for the fabrication of supercapacitor electrode;
- Direct writing fabrication of supercapacitor electrode;
- 3D printing technology for electrode fabrication;
- Fiber-type supercapacitor;
- Reliability evaluation of flexible supercapacitors;
- Supercapacitor integration with wearable electronics.

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.
