title: The Chemistry of Energy Conversion and Storage.
abstract: Extra energy required: One of the most critical issues facing society today is energy - where do we get it from, how do we use it, how do we store it, how can we save it. Chemists play a decisive role in facing these challenges to secure a ready supply of energy for generations to come. To highlight the importance of this topic and the contributions that chemists around the world make, this special issue is dedicated to energy conversion and storage.
