Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rechargeable batteries are one of the most important and efficient energy storage devices. High-performance battery technology is a key enabling factor for deep decarbonization via large-scale application in electric vehicles and stationary storage. Materials, including electrodes and electrolytes are essential and performance-determining components for rechargeable batteries such as lithium-ion and all-solid-state lithium metal batteries.
In these batteries, electrodes and electrolytes play crucial roles in determining energy density, lifetime, power capability, safety, and cost. Special attentions are currently devoted to designing and synthesizing materials to achieve stable electrochemical performance by introducing various functions derived from their special morphology and structure, proper particle dimension and composite formation, etc.
The aim of this Special Issue, entitled “Advanced Electrode and Electrolyte Materials: Molecular Scale Design, Synthesis, Mechanisms and Applications”, is to present a collection of original and innovative papers (original research articles, short communications, and reviews) describing recent trends and developments in the synthesis, the structure at the molecular level, physicochemical characterization, and mechanistic studies of electrode and electrolyte materials for application in rechargeable batteries including lithium-ion and all-solid-state lithium metal 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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
