Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Great strides have been made over the past century in our ability to store energy sources with various batteries, leading to profound transformations—both good and bad—in society. Looking at the battery systems of today, it is clear that meeting the energy needs of the world now and in the years to come requires the concerted efforts of many different actors across a range of technologies and approaches. This Special Issue aims to share advances in various battery systems. The issues faced are diverse and multifaceted, covering fields including Li-ion battery, lithium metal battery, Na-ion batteries, fuel cells, metal-air battery, flow cells, photovoltaic cells, solid-state battery, supercapacitors, surface/interface chemistry, battery recycling, flexible battery, as well as new related concepts and devices. However, a common theme emerges in that changes to adapt and improve our battery system are greatly needed. By improving our mutual understanding of the issues faced by each area of battery research, these changes can happen more smoothly, efficiently, and rapidly.

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. Crystals 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 2100 CHF (Swiss Francs).

Flexible lithium-ion batteries (FLIBs) have rapidly developed as promising energy storage devices for flexible and wearable electronics, owning to the advantages of high energy density, fast charge–discharge, no memory effect and stable cycle performance. Research on flexible electrodes has attracted widespread attention to maintain stable electrochemical function under deformation. Carbon materials are some of the most popular lithium-ion battery (LIB) anode materials owing to their low cost, high conductivity and excellent stability. However, the scaled-up fabrication of flexible electrodes based on carbon-based materials for high-performance FLIBs is still challenging. Herein, the fabrication strategies for FLIBs based on carbon materials such as carbon nanofibers (CNFs), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, graphdiyne (GDY) and carbon aerogels (CAs) are reviewed in terms of macroscopic electrode material preparation, property optimization and structure design. Furthermore, fabrication strategies and structure design methods for electrodes are proposed to improve energy capacity, cycle stability, conductivity and flexibility of FLIBs. This minireview can offer potential directions for the novel design of flexible carbon-based anodes employed in FLIBs. Full article
