Anode and Cathode Materials for Lithium-Ion and Sodium-Ion Batteries II

Dear Colleagues,

Batteries invites submissions and article proposals for an upcoming Special Issue on topics related to Li-ion/Na-ion battery research. The 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry recognized the significance of Li-ion battery technologies, and the commercialization of Na-ion batteries has accelerated abruptly due to their unique performance and the abundance of the requisite raw materials. Topics should include, but are not limited to, the synthesis of anode and cathode materials, innovative electrode materials structures, high-performance batteries, low-cost electrode materials selection/production, etc. Battery performance improvements such as energy density, power density, cycle life, cost, operation temperatures, and safety are also within the scope of this Special Issue. We invite researchers and experts working in the field of energy storage applications to submit contributions.

Dr. Yu-Sheng Su
Guest Editor

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. Batteries is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
