Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lithium-ion batteries have a wide range of applications due to their high specific energy density and power density. They are used in laptops, mobile phones, electro tools, and other compact devices. However, for electric vehicles, military, and space technology, traditional lithium-ion batteries require higher energy density, enhanced environmental performance, and lower costs. Moreover, a deeper understanding of the processes in lithium-ion batteries and ways for their improvement is required. Currently, a conception of all-solid-state battery has been proposed because such power sources have a number of advantages: a wider operating temperature range; performance in extreme conditions; increased inertness to aggressive media and high pressures; and greater stability during depressurization. However, a resistance at the solid–solid interface, as a rule, is higher than at the solid–liquid interface due to a point contact. Derivation of the composition–property–structure dependence for the optimization of transport properties of solid electrolytes and electrodes is also a topical research task. Solving these problems is an important scientific task that allows expanding the range of the lithium, lithium–sulfur, and lithium-ion batteries.
The present Special Issue aims to provide an overview of the current research on promising electrolytes and electrode materials, their crystal design, charge transfer features, and interface problems for the creation of high-energy power sources with the required characteristics.
This Special Issue is supervised by Dr. Evgeniay A. Il’ina and assisted by our Topical Advisory Panel Member Dr. Svetlana Pershina (Institute of High Temperature Electrochemistry of the Ural Branch of the RAS). For this Special Issue on “Lithium-Ion Battery: Material Design and Mechanism Research”, we welcome your contributions in the form of original research and review articles on all aspects of materials and processes in lithium-ion 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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
