Sodium-Ion Batteries: From Electrodes, Electrolytes to High-Performance Devices

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to capture the forefront of research in the rapidly advancing field of sodium-ion batteries. While the technology benefits from abundant sodium resources and potential cost advantages, achieving robust electrochemical performance requires overcoming hurdles in ion transport, structural stability, and interface compatibility. We seek submissions that deepen our understanding across the entire device: from the design and synthesis of high-performance cathodes and anodes, innovations in electrolyte systems (liquid and solid-state), and in-depth investigations into interfacial stability and degradation mechanisms. This collection seeks to provide a comprehensive platform for sharing insights that will accelerate progress towards commercially viable and high-performance sodium-ion battery technologies.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
