Lithium-Ion Batteries: Design, Preparation, Reaction Mechanisms of Electrode Materials, and Battery Life Evaluation
This special issue belongs to the section "Battery Materials and Interfaces: Anode, Cathode, Separators and Electrolytes or Others".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of “low-carbon goals” and the current market growth of portable electronic products, electric vehicles, and large-scale energy storage systems, high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have attracted extensive attention on the basis of designing and preparing new electrode materials. Additionally, a systematic and thorough understanding of the structure and chemical mechanisms of the batteries will provide other insights to develop advanced and safe electrode materials for LIBs, and guide the development of high-performance batteries This Special Issue on LIBs will focus on electrode material technologies and working mechanisms, as well as battery life evaluation.
In this Special Issue, topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Novel lithium-ion materials: positive, negative, and electrolytes;
- Electrode design;
- Electrode preparation technologies;
- Working and reaction mechanisms of electrode materials;
- Structure and chemical evolution of electrode materials;
- New in situ and online sensing principles and approaches to monitor degradation phenomena;
- Battery life evaluation.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized 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.
