Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Graphite electrode is widely used in electrochemical applications, especially in Li-ion batteries since their inception. The graphite electrode is suitable for reversible (de)intercalation of Li-ions and supports the formation of the passivating solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI).
We welcome your contributions to this special issue on ‘Advances in Graphite Electrode’ in the journal Materials (ISSN 1996-1944, https://www.mdpi.com/journal/materials), which is an open access journal. The special issue aims to publish both experimental and computational research spotlights, reviews, original research contributions, and short communications. There is no restriction on the maximum length of the papers.
Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following: understanding of Li-ion intercalation and transport; reactions leading to solvent decomposition and formation of SEI; characterization and modelling of structure and properties of SEI; reactions such as Li-plating and dendrite growth; etc.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Arihant Bhandari
Guest Editor
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.
