Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Increasingly severe environmental problems urgently call for green, clean and efficient energy storage systems. Various energy storage technologies, including fuel cells, capacitors, sodium-ion batteries and lithium-ion batteries, are playing an increasingly important role in daily life, especially lithium-ion batteries, which are common components of portable electronic devices and new energy vehicles. Therefore, research into new material systems for lithium-ion batteries with a low cost, high safety and high energy density is crucial to meet the growing demand for this technology.
Lithium-ion battery electrolytes greatly impact the safety, operating temperature range and cycle performance of a battery, and thus have become a research hotspot. Asymmetric/symmetric solvents and lithium salts in electrolytes lead to unusual battery performance. For this Special Issue, we are interested in studying the effects of different asymmetric structures on battery performance based on the application of asymmetric solvents and asymmetric salts in lithium/sodium ion batteries. We welcome all contributions on the use of asymmetry/symmetry in the application of electrochemical processes to technologies such as lithium-ion batteries, capacitors, fuel cells, etc., and in particular research on electrolyte solvent molecules and salts, which play a key role in lithium-ion/sodium-ion batteries.

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. Symmetry 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 2400 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.
