Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lithium ion batteries (LIBs) have the potential to improve energy efficiency and reduce green house gas emissions. All batteries provide a method of converting chemical energy into electrical energy efficiently. LIBs have a great advantage over other types of batteries as they exhibit higher energy density, voltage capacity, and lower self-discharge rate.
The properties of the electrode and electrolyte materials have a major impact on battery performance. Materials with high density, low activation energy of Li-ion diffusion, low cost, low environmental impact and high abundance are needed to construct an efficient Li-ion battery. A variety of potential energy materials have been proposed and tested for building Li-ion batteries required for large scale applications such as electronic vehicles. The search for new class of cathode materials is still being continued in order to improve the output potential and energy density in Li-ion batteries. The Special Issue will focus on the experimental and theoretical examination of energy materials required for rechargeable Li-ion batteries.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
