Structure Property Relationship of Energy Storage Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Electrochemical storage is nowadays omnipresent in our society, and needs are continuously rising, pushing the research community to constantly improve and explore new materials and propose innovative devices that offer better efficiency and greater security at moderate costs.

The present Special Issue will focus on the impact of Crystallography on the design of electrode and electrolyte materials for rechargeable Li-ion batteries and beyond (Na ion, Mg ion, metal–air, all-solid-state batteries…). The relationship between crystal structure and properties will be explored. Manuscripts presenting studies of the following topics are highly welcome: (i) synthesis, crystal structure analysis and characterization of transport properties; (ii) multiscale-ion dynamics and diffusion pathways; (iii) electrochemical performance and stability; (iv) in situ neutrons and X-ray diffraction and in situ transmission electron microscopy of energy storage materials. It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript (full paper, communication, or review) for the Special Issue, “Structure Property Relationship of Energy Storage 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.
