Li-Ion Battery Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Lithium-ion batteries have emerged as critical electrochemical devices, essential customable and important power sources for vehicles and large-scale energy storage systems. As one of the most important components, the materials, including positive and negative electrode materials, play a significant role for the improvement of the performance of lithium-ion batteries. Indeed, the rational design and preparation of various nanomaterials for LIB application has attracted huge attention from researchers worldwide in recent decades, and it has been a major research theme for the development of high-performance batteries. To present the achievements and progress in LIB materials in recent years, we are organizing this Special Issue.

This Special Issue on “Lithium-Ion Battery Materials” will cover the latest advancements in LIB materials, including positive electrode materials and negative electrode materials in terms of the following aspects: material design and preparation, structure characterization, exploration of new materials and preparation technologies, theoretical calculation and simulation, etc.

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. 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.
