Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Metals is launching a new Special Issue entitled “Recent Advances in Corrosion and Protection of Metallic Materials.” The Special Issue will provide a platform for presenting the recent experimental and theoretical advances in the field of the corrosion and protection of metallic materials. Corrosion of metals is a common phenomenon. Whether in the traditional field of metal materials or in emerging fields such as electronic packaging, metal batteries, and high entropy alloys, corrosion and protection of metals are particularly important.

We invite you to contribute an original or review article to this Special Issue.

Dr. Changdong Gu
Guest Editor

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. Metals 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 2600 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.

Electrolytic copper foil is ideal for use in the anode current collectors of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of its abundant reserves, good electrical conductivity, and soft texture. However, electrolytic copper foil is prone to corrosion in electrolytes and weak bonding to the anode substance. Surface modification of copper foil is considered an effective method of improving the overall electrochemical performance of LIBs. In this study, a 5 nm thickness phytic acid (PA)-based film is constructed on electrolytic copper foil using a fast electrodeposition process (about 10 s). PA-treated copper foil (PA-Cu) displays an improved corrosion resistance in electrolytes because of a strong complexation between the PA and copper. It is found that PA-treated copper foil also bonds better with graphite particles compared with pristine copper foil. LIBs with PA-Cu foils as their current collectors exhibit enhanced cycling stability, improved capacity retention, and superior rate performance at both low and high current densities. Our study offers a novel avenue for the development of high-performance electrode current collector materials for LIBs. Full article
