Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the exhaustion of fossil fuels and environmental pollution, the utilization of renewable energy has become imperative. Renewable energy, such as wind and solar energy, however, is intermittent due to weather variation. To store these types of renewable energy, a large amount of rechargeable battery capacity is needed. Owing to the low cost and abundant resources of sodium, sodium ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted more attention in the past ten years and are considered as a new generation of energy storage devices to replace lithium ion batteries (LIBs) in certain applications. Hitherto, the commercialization of SIBs, however, has been hindered by their low energy density and unsatisfactory cycle life. Therefore, research is still required on: 1) development of cathode candidates with both high energy density and stable cycle life for sodium ion storage; 2) development of anode candidates with high coulombic efficiency and high capacity; 3) development of novel electrolytes with high safety, such as solid-state electrolytes and polymer electrolytes.

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. Electrochem is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
