A collection showcasing the latest developments towards hybrid ion capacitors

Sustainable Energy & Fuels is pleased to present our Hybrid Ion Capacitors themed collection. Guest edited by Marta Sevilla (Instituto Nacional del Carbón – CSIC, Spain), Vanchiappan Aravindan (Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Tirupati, India), Martin Oschatz (Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, Germany) and Konstantin Schutjajew (Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, Germany), Sustainable Energy & Fuels is proud to highlight the latest developments in this area.

Hybrid ion capacitors are considered a promising next-generation charge-storage device owing to their combined features of both rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors, i.e., high energy and high-power capability. These devices stand out by their tunable performance characteristics and a broad range of possibly applicable materials. Many congratulations to all the featured researchers!

All of the articles in the collection are free to access until the end of January 2024. We hope you enjoy reading this collection and look forward to seeing how this field progresses! Please continue to submit your impactful work to Sustainable Energy & Fuels.

We are delighted to introduce the newest member of the Sustainable Energy & Fuels Editorial Board, Dr Tharamani C. Nagaiah.

Thara is currently an Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Chemistry at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Ropar, India. She holds a PhD degree from Bangalore University and completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada and an AvH Postdoctoral Fellowship at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany. Her research interests include the design and development of new materials with a focus on energy conversion/storage and biosensing applications, and in-depth fundamental analysis of the newly designed electrocatalysts by various electrochemical, spectroscopic, microscopic, and scanning probe techniques.

She is a recipient of several prestigious fellowships such as the Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellowship, Germany, and the Ramanujan Fellowship by the Department of Science and Technology, Govt. of India. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry admitted through the “Leaders in the field” scheme and an elected Fellow of the Indian Chemical Society. She is a recipient of the CRSI-Bronze Medal 2023 from the Chemical Research Society of India and the Silver Medal of CRS 2023 from the Society Chirantan Rasayan Sanstha, as well as the ECSI National Metrohm Award 2023 from the Electrochemical Society of India and the A.V. Rama Rao prize for Women 2024 from the Chemical Research Society of India.

Please join us in welcoming Thara to the Sustainable Energy & Fuels Editorial Board!

All of the articles in the collection are free to access until the end of September 2023. We hope you enjoy reading this collection and look forward to seeing how this field progresses! Please continue to submit your exciting work on Biorefining to Sustainable Energy & Fuels.

Our themed collection highlighting Hybrid, Organic and Perovskite Photovoltaics Stability is guest edited by Profs. Francesca Brunetti, Vida Engmann, Morten Madsen and David M. Tanenbaum.

This collection will showcase recent progress and challenges in the field of stability for hybrid, organic and perovskite photovoltaics. The scope of the collection is broad, and we welcome all submissions on photovoltaics stability which provide insights regarding future directions towards more stable and sustainable technologies. All manuscripts must also fall within the scope of the journal and meet the journal’s usual quality criteria as outlined on our webpage.

For more information on the collection, see our open call for papers. The deadline for submissions has now been extended to the 30^th of September 2023.

All articles included in the collection will be made free to access for one month after publication and benefit from promotion via our social media channels.

When you publish with Sustainable Energy & Fuels, you can:

• Put your trust in both our rigorous peer review process and fast times to publication – with a medium time to first decision for peer reviewed manuscripts of 28 days
• Benefit from Open Access publishing options
• Be confident of the global energy audience for your work when publishing in the RSC’s energy journal family which includes Energy & Environmental Science and EES Catalysis.

Article publication online and in issues will occur without delay to ensure the timely dissemination of the work. The articles will then be assembled on the RSC Publishing platform and promoted as a web-based thematic collection, to permit readers to consult and download individual contributions from the entire series.

If you’re interested, submit your research today, mentioning that the work is a contribution to the Hybrid, Organic and Perovskite Photovoltaics Stability collection when submitting your manuscript.

A collection highlighting the rising stars of energy research

Sustainable Energy & Fuels is proud to present our Emerging Investigators Series, highlighting the very best work from researchers in the early stages of their independent careers. The collection showcases research from early career energy scientists who are working to make energy technologies more sustainable, in line with UN Sustainable Development Goal 7 and the scope of Sustainable Energy & Fuels. Many congratulations to all the featured researchers on their important work so far in the field!
