Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are successfully applied in portable electronics, electric vehicles (EVs), and LIB-based grid storage due to their high energy density over 250 Wh kg−1. However, safety factors and insufficiency on a global scale of lithium resources will strongly limit its further use in large-scale applications. Therefore, it is essential to develop novel energy storage technologies based on cost-effective and earth-abundant materials to meet the requirements of grid-scale and distributed storage applications. We invite papers that highlight the development of next-generation secondary batteries beyond lithium-ion.
We would like to invite interested authors to submit their original experimental, theoretical, and review papers for inclusion in this Special Issue.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Li metal batteries, Li-S, Li-O, Li-CO2, Li-organic, etc.
- Li-rich layered cathode materials.
- Li metal engineering.
- Solid-state batteries.
- Sodium batteries, sodium metal, Na-O2, Na-organic, etc.
- Multivalent batteries including Mg, Zn, Al, and Ca batteries, etc.
- High-performance electrolyte design.
- Electrode/electrolyte interphasial chemistry.
- Multi-model advanced characterization techniques.
- Density-functional-theory method for material design.

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. Batteries is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
