Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Batteries play a vital role in powering various electronic devices, electric vehicles, and renewable energy systems. The pursuit of high-performance batteries with improved energy densities, longer cycle lives, and enhanced safety has become a focal point of research in the energy storage field. This Special Issue on Novel Electrode Materials for High-Performance Batteries aims to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers and engineers to share their latest findings and insights. The advancement of electrode materials is crucial for achieving the next generation of high-performance batteries, thereby accelerating the transition towards a sustainable energy future. We encourage contributions that not only showcase significant breakthroughs but also address the remaining challenges and propose future directions for this rapidly evolving field.
This Special Issue encompasses a diverse range of materials, including but not limited to silicon-based anodes, lithium–sulfur cathodes, solid-state electrolytes, sodium–ion battery materials, metal–oxygen batteries, and emerging 2D materials. Through this collection of articles, we seek to shed light on cutting-edge research and foster collaboration among researchers and engineers in the field of energy storage.
We welcome the submission of research papers as well as review articles. The research topics that we would like contributors to address include but are not limited to the following:
Potential Topics:
- Design and synthesis of nanostructured electrode materials
- Characterization and understanding of electrode–electrolyte interfaces
- Computational modeling and simulation of novel electrode materials
- In situ/operando techniques for electrode material analysis
- Advanced binders and conductive additives for electrode materials
- Multifunctional electrode architectures for high-performance batteries
- Recycling and sustainability of novel electrode materials
- Safety enhancement of high-performance batteries
- Integration of novel electrode materials in commercial battery technologies
- Comparative studies with conventional 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. 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.
