Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The growing demand for energy places increasingly stringent requirements on electrochemical energy storage technologies. This Special Issue focuses on the latest research advances in battery materials and storage mechanisms, aiming to compile research on innovative achievements in high-performance electrode materials, novel electrolytes, interfacial regulation, and advanced characterization techniques. We welcome discussions on lithium-ion batteries, sodium/potassium-ion batteries, solid-state batteries, and metal–air batteries. This Special Issue seeks to collate research on cutting-edge insights, advance the development of more efficient, safe, and sustainable energy storage solutions, and provide a high-quality platform for researchers in academia and industry to stimulate innovative thinking and address future energy challenges.

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
