Review of Electrode Materials and Electrolyte for Batteries: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Due to the intermittent nature of clean energy, a mismatch between energy supply and demand arises, which seriously restricts the large-scale application of renewable energy. To improve the utilization efficiency of clean energy, research on high-performance energy storage systems has become an urgent need. High-performance electrode materials are key to improving the electrochemical performance of batteries. Understanding the relationships between electrochemical performance, structure, surface, and the defects of electrode materials is of great significance to the design of electrode materials. In addition, electrolytes are also closely related to the electrochemical performance of batteries. Consequently, the design of high-performance electrolytes is also of interest.

This Special Issue aims to publish high-quality review papers in Batteries which summarize the recent progress made related to electrode materials and electrolytes for batteries. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following: the synthesis of electrode materials, electrolyte regulation mechanisms, and electrochemical enhancement mechanisms. We also welcome reviews involving the simulation, optimization, and design of integrated devices and flexible energy devices. At the same time, we sincerely hope that this Special Issue provides some novel ideas for the further development of the batteries field.

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.
