Lithium Battery Materials: Developments and Perspectives

Dear Colleagues,

Lithium has the lowest reduction potential and small ionic radii, which gives it a high cell potential and power density. These advantages have led to a wave of research in this area in recent years. However, the potential power stability and cost issues of lithium batteries have led to the development of new materials and chemical technologies for lithium batteries becoming a research hotspot.

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, “Lithium Battery Materials: Developments and Perspectives”. The following types of manuscripts will be considered for publication: full research articles, short communications and reviews. This Special Issue will include, but is not limited to the preparation, characterization, development and performance of novel lithium battery materials. We also welcome research on battery chemistry and electrochemical mechanisms.

Dr. Zhen Wu
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. Molecules 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 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.
