Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of environmentally friendlier and efficient energy storage systems for portable electronic devices and electric vehicles is an increasing need in a technological society heavily dependent on mobility. The paradigm is to find new materials and concepts, through molecular research at a different level for the different battery components (lithium-ion batteries, ion batteries, redox flow batteries, and sodium-sulfur batteries, among others) of different energy storage systems, leading to batteries with high discharge capacity, excellent cycling performance and low volume change after many charging cycles. In this field, scientific efforts involve the development of advanced materials and processes for electrode and separator/solid electrolytes based on sustainable materials and advanced manufacturing technologies, considering the circular economy guidelines. In addition, device design is still a challenge, as well as the methods for recycling spent batteries.
Therefore, this special issue aims to contribute to the development of advanced technologies through recent scientific and engineering studies focusing on the improvement of the performance and economics of energy-storage devices focusing on rechargeable battery technologies.
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit original research papers or state-of-the-art reviews within the scope of this Special Issue.

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.
