ACS Applied Energy Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering aspects of materials, engineering, chemistry, physics, and biology relevant to sustainable applications in energy conversion and storage.

Sample research topics that span the journal's scope for energy storage applications:

Electrode and membrane materials for various energy applications
Solid state batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors, and redox flow batteries
Energy conversion applications include new inorganic, hybrid, catalytic, and/or organic materials
Thermoelectrics
Photovoltaics
Photo-electrosynthesis cells
Submissions that are NOT suitable for ACS Applied Energy Materials:

Reports that are essentially reporting data or applications of data
Low power energy conversion materials, such as piezoelectric materials
Luminescent materials & devices
Studies of traditional fossil fuel
Energetic/explosive materials for military applications
Photodegradation of environmental pollutants
All submissions are subject to critical, anonymous peer review. It is to be understood that the final decision relating to a manuscript's suitability rests solely with the Editor.
