Special Issue Information
Advanced materials and processing methods for lithium-ion batteries are crucial areas of research, as the increasing global demand drives the development and implementation of safe, efficient, and sustainable energy storage approaches and solutions.
The performance, safety, and lifespan of lithium-ion batteries are closely related to the design, processing, integration, and optimization of materials in the cathodes, anodes, and electrolytes. Recent advances in materials science, including nanotechnology, and manufacturing processes provide new possibilities for improving battery capacity, charge/discharge rates, thermal stability, and cycle life.
This Special Issue of Applied Sciences aims to present cutting-edge research and technological developments associated with materials engineering and processing methods that contribute to the next generation of lithium-ion batteries.
The expected contributions to this Special Issue include experimental, theoretical, and computational approaches.

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.
