Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the invention of Li-ion batteries (LIBs) in the 1990s, the past decades have witnessed the booming of LIB-supported applications, typical examples being portable electronics and electric vehicles. Nevertheless, the rapid upgrading of current society, especially its intellectualization, is driving an increasing demand for high-energy-density batteries technologies. Moreover, the need for high-energy LIBs is rather urgent for electric vehicles to increase their endurance to overcome “range anxiety”. Therefore, we are calling for papers on this Special Issue to promote current research on this topic, which covers the main components of LIBs (cathode, anode, electrolyte) and their characterizations and fundamental understandings in the purpose of high-energy LIBs.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- High-capacity cathode materials (Li-rich/Ni-rich cathodes, high-voltage spinel oxides, etc.);
- Anionic redox;
- High-capacity anode materials (e.g., silicon anode, conversion-type anode);
- Wide-voltage-window electrolyte;
- Solid electrolyte interface (SEI) engineering;
- Full cell design;
- Advanced characterization techniques;
- Density-functional-theory method on batteries.

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.
