Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Future applications, including the Internet of Things (IoT) require new energy and electronic materials that are in abundance, low cost and environmentally friendly and exhibit high energy density. This will enable the next generation of high-capacity energy storage and energy harvesting systems. The miniaturization of devices necessitates a fundamental understanding of material defect processes more than ever. In this respect, advanced computational techniques and their synergy with experiments are required to gain a deeper understanding and better control at nanoscale dimensions. This Special Issue will focus on defect processes in energy and electronic materials with a particular focus on advanced computational works and the prospects for machine learning and intelligent approaches.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.

There is a technological necessity for more efficient, abundant, and sustainable materials for energy storage applications. Lithium-ion batteries dominate, however, there are a number of sustainability, economic, and availability issues that require the investigation of post-lithium batteries. In essence, the drive is to move to non-lithium-containing batteries as there is simply not enough lithium available to satisfy demand in a few years. To find alternative ions migrating at appropriate rates in crystal lattices requires significant research efforts and, in that respect, computational modeling can accelerate progress. The review considers recent mainly theoretical results highlighting the kinetics of ions in post-lithium oxides. It is proposed that there is a need for chemistries and ionic species that are sustainable and abundant and in that respect sodium, magnesium, and oxygen ion conduction in batteries is preferable to lithium. The limitations and promise of these systems are discussed in view of applications. Full article
