More Power in Series

Positively charged: We look back at the developments of 2021 and give a glimpse to what our readers authors can expect in 2022. The past few years have been very exciting for field electrochemical energy storage. Batteries particular become an essential technology achieving carbon neutrality as well key component next-generation transport renewable solutions. It has real pleasure witness rapid growth this research we are looking forward next scientific developments. In Editorial, will accomplished share some what's store 2022 beyond. Without doubt, working together with community cornerstone development journal continue fostering these relationships. 2021, & Supercaps received its first Journal Impact Factor 7.093 (2020 Citation Report by Clarivate, released June 2021). This was beyond expectations it would not possible without exceptional support had from start Editorial Advisory Board authors, reviewers, readers. work on great foundation make go-to storage research!
