Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit a manuscript reporting on Lithium-Selenium or Lithium-Sulfur Batteries for Energy Storage for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome. Lithium batteries are considered an optimistic alternative to next-generation energy-storage devices due to the remarkable theoretical capacity of sulfur and devastating theoretical energy density. However, lithium (Lithium-Selenium; Li-Se, Lithium-Sulfur; Li-S) batteries suffer from the problems of dissolution and volume expansion of active materials during the charging and discharging progression. Furthermore, selenium's heavy atomic mass restricts its capacitive property with lithium. While the poor conductivity of sulfur leads to a large polarization, the large volume variation of sulfur throughout cycling weakens the structure and causes rapid capacity decay. So here need to develop a simple approach to combing the skeleton within metallic to establish an efficient immobilizer toward superior Lithium-Selenium and Lithium-Sulfur. Furthermore, it can develop Se-rich (selenium-rich) composites as cathode materials for Lithium batteries by introducing a low proportion of sulfur into pristine selenium subsequently infiltrated into the 3D ordered, interconnected porous photonic crystal (such as nitrogen-doped carbon photonic crystal).

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.
