Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the emergence of lithium batteries in the 1970s, there has been a transformative shift in energy storage for portable electronics, electric vehicles, and grid applications, driven by the need for high-energy-density rechargeable power sources. As rechargeable batteries are upgraded, layered structured materials have attracted significant attention for their high compositional diversity that provides tunable electrochemical performance for both electrodes and electrolytes in batteries. Given the escalating demand for energy storage, there is an urgent need to explore the huge compositional space for the development of advanced materials aimed at enhancing the performance of batteries. In this Special Issue, we are calling for papers to promote current research on this topic, which covers layered structured materials for batteries (lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, etc.) and their characterizations, as well as fundamental understandings to guide material design.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- High-capacity electrode materials;
- High-performance solid-state electrolyte materials;
- Novel synthesis procedures for electrode/electrolyte materials;
- Advanced characterization techniques for material analysis;
- Modeling and simulations on batteries;
- Ion transport mechanism for fundamental understandings;
- Interfacial properties between electrode and electrolyte;
- Machine learning for material design;
- Full cell techniques;
- Recycling and regenerating battery materials.

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.
