Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The promotion of energy density, cycling performance and saftey are the future orentations in the field of energy storage. To overcome these constraints, “beyond Li-ion” electrochemistries have been viewed as promising candidates for future large-scale energy applications, in particualr as metal-S batteries, metal–gas batteries and solid-state batteries. As is known, various cathode materials developments provide alternative pathways with different energy storage mechanisms to promote battery performance. Up to now, the discovery and optimization of battery cathodes and separators have accelerated developments in energy storage and conversion devices. Therefore, it is necessary to summarize the related background knowledge and to inspire advanced cathode and separator explorations as well as understand their mechanisms so as to progress towards next-generation electrochemical energy storage devices. Recent studies in the fields of cathode and polymer electrolytes for lithium-metal batteries, metal-S batteries and metal-gas batteries are all appreciated.

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.
