Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue of Molecules, entitled ‘Recent Developments of Solid-State Batteries and Their Electrochemical Mechanisms’.
Different from liquid-state batteries, solid-state batteries have shown advantages such as a wide electrochemical window, high energy density, and high safety. As one of the most important components, the materials, including electrolyte and electrode materials, play a significant role in the improvement of the performance of solid-state batteries. Indeed, in recent decades, the rational design and preparation of various materials for solid-state batteries has attracted immense attention from researchers worldwide. Moreover, understanding the corresponding electrochemical reaction mechanism in this solid-state form is critical for the development of solid-state batteries. To present the achievements and progress in solid batteries and their electrochemical mechanisms in recent years, we are organizing this Special Issue.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Electrode materials for all-solid-state batteries;
- Interfacial designs and engineering;
- Mechanism studies on solid-state batteries;
- New characterization techniques for solid-state batteries;
- Theoretical calculations and simulation for solid-state battery materials
Experimental and theoretical contributions in the form of full-length research articles, short communications, and review manuscripts are welcome.
Dr. Yonghe Li

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. Molecules 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 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
