Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lithium-ion battery electrode materials play a key role in determining the energy density, lifecycle, and safety performance of batteries, so it is imperative to study the positive and negative electrode materials of lithium-ion batteries. This Special Issue aims to briefly introduce the relevant knowledge of lithium-ion batteries, introduce their preparation in detail, improvement methods, and the electrochemical properties of various new lithium-ion battery positive- and negative-electrode materials, as well as briefly summarize the advantages and disadvantages of various electrode materials. It is expected that, in the future, the research and development of electrode materials will focus on the direction of high specific capacity, high charge–discharge efficiency, high cycle performance, and low cost. This Special Issue aims to report on and exchange the latest research progress in the field of electrode materials in lithium-ion batteries and provide theoretical and technical support for promoting the development of lithium-ion batteries.
Therefore, we invite scholars to submit articles related to this topic to share findings and insights on lithium-ion battery electrode materials.

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. Crystals 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 2100 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.
