Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) are an attractive alternative due to the abundance of their components in the earth and the low cost of sodium. Therefore, this Special Issue is designed to focus on updating the field of energy storage with the latest advances and prospects regarding various aspects of NIBs. Researchers are invited to submit their original research and review/perspective articles for publication in this Special Issue.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Various types of NIBs: metal oxides, polyanionic compounds, Prussian blue (PB), organic cathodes, Na-S, Na-O2;
- Design strategies of electrodes, electrolytes, and separators for NIBs;
- Solid electrolyte interphase (SEI);
- Cathode/electrolyte interphase (CEI);
- NIBs for low/high-temperature conditions;
- Battery life and safety;
- Flexible NIBs;
- Solid-state NIBs;
- NIBs for electric vehicles.

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.
