Novel Materials for Ion Batteries
This special issue belongs to the section "Materials Chemistry".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ion batteries (IBs), as an ideal candidate for large-scale energy storage systems (ESSs), have been the subject of extensive attention worldwide as a result of the ever-growing energy demands. The development of advanced IB techniques with potentially higher performance is of great concern in order to meet the requirements of ESSs. Based on modern material characterization methods and technological optimizations, the systematic understanding of IBs has been further developed. The new results of novel materials for IBs could provide a rational guideline for the fundamental understanding and practical optimization of battery systems. Here, the focus is mainly on a discussion of novel materials or fresh experimental results for IBs from the relationships among components, structures and performances. We hope that through the study of IB-related details, a certain reference for the development of advanced materials can be created.

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-anonymized 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.
