Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the demand for energy storage devices, such as electric vehicles, continues to rise, the need for reliable and durable energy sources has driven significant advancements. Rechargeable batteries have emerged as one of the most promising solutions due to their long lifespans and ability to provide continuous energy. To achieve higher energy output, it is crucial for the electrodes to feature a structure that enables efficient ion and electron conduction while accommodating larger amounts of Faradaic materials for optimal utilization. Additionally, minimizing side reactions between the electrode and electrolytes is essential for extending battery life, as these reactions generate byproducts that can create conduction barriers.
In this Special Issue, we will explore the latest advancements in electrode preparation techniques and interphase designs to enhance the electrochemical performances of batteries. We will provide insights and guidance on how to further develop materials and functions to drive progress in practical applications.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
