Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the demand for sustainable energy solutions continues to rise, the development of advanced materials for batteries and energy storage systems has become increasingly critical. Coatings play a pivotal role in enhancing the electrochemical performance of various battery technologies. This Special Issue, “Coatings for Batteries and Energy Storage”, aims to provide a fundamental platform for scholars in this field to share their findings related to the use of new materials and novel technologies in batteries.
In particular, topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced coating technologies for novel battery systems;
- Nanostructured coatings that enhance ionic conductivity;
- Multifunctional coatings and materials for electrodes;
- Advanced polymeric coatings for separator and electrode applications.
We invite researchers to contribute their insights and research results to advance the understanding and application of coatings in batteries and energy storage solutions.
Dr. Wen Luo
Guest Editor
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. Coatings 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 2600 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.
