Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Graphene, a two-dimensional material, has gained massive success in materials devision because of its exceptionally high crystal and electronic quality. The unsaturation present in graphene controls its electrical properties, which can be further modified by functionalizing graphene by oxidation and/ or amidification. Modified graphenes can be blended with polymer matrixes to generate materials suitable for producing electrodes of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Considering the ever-increasing green-house gas concentration in the atmosphere, the use of renewable energy sources has become particularly crucial for a better and greener atmosphere. However, because these renewable energy sources are not available for use each time energy is required a day, the proper storage of the energy is important, and LIBs play the most important role in this regard. Moreover, the use of LIBs in electric vehicles (EVs) is also gaining much attention. Overall, significant technological advancement is necessary to prepare efficient, non-expensive, durable, self-healing, and temperature-bearable materials for presenting safer and long-lasting LIBs. In fact, the accidents occurring caused by LIBs need to be addressed carefully before mass-marketing. This Special Issue invites work on novel graphene-based polymer materials suitable for producing electrode materials for LIBs or any other 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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
