Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The demand for electrochemical energy storage technologies is rapidly increasing due to the proliferation of renewable energy sources and the emerging markets of grid-scale battery applications. Meanwhile, the future extensive popularization of electric vehicles, smart grids, and various portable and wearable electronics is also stimulating the demand for high-performance power sources. It is clear that electrochemical energy storage devices such as batteries and supercapacitors will play a critical role in these fields.
For this Special Issue on battery materials, we warmly welcome review articles and original research papers focusing on the recent progress and developments in structural and phase studies of battery materials: new porous structures suitable for Li-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and capacitive deionisation cells. We also welcome the research on molten metal batteries and other high-temperature batteries and more.

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.
