Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Today, electrochemical storage is used to power many portable devices, electric vehicles, and also used in stationary storage. Therefore, electrochemical storage is paving the way toward a sustainable and cleaner future. All rechargeable electrochemical systems are based on reversible processes occurring at electrodes/electrolyte interfaces, which may involve multiple/complex steps reaction that allows electricity generation or storage. Therefore, the combination of appropriate electrolytes/electrodes is highly desirable to achieve performing devices.
This Special Issue will focus on cathodes–anodes/electrolytes interfaces in aqueous and no-aqueous electrochemical systems. We welcome all contributions that report on experimental and/or theoretical studies aiming for greater understanding and improvement of the interaction between electrodes and electrolytes. Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Electrodes/interfaces in meal-ion batteries (Li-ion, Na-ion, Ca-ion, etc.): formation, physical-chemical studies, theoretical studies, aging and impact on batteries performances;
- Beyond liquid electrolytes: solid electrolytes and their interfaces in lithium and sodium-based batteries;
- Electrolyte and intercalation reactions (anode and cathode materials);
- New development in electrolytes for beyond Li-ion systems (Li-S, Li-air, redox flow batteries, etc.);
- Advanced techniques for interfaces studies;
- Advanced electrolytes/materials in supercapacitors.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
