Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As alternatives to the lithium ion battery (LIB), many types of secondary batteries, such as sodium ion, lithium–sulfur, lithium–metal and solid-state batteries, have received enourmous attention. One of the key aspects in such post-LIB systems is to establish a stable interface between the electrolyte and electrode. Efficient hybridization approaches in the microcrystalline or nanocrystalline range play a pivotal role in stabilizing and controlling the electrolyte–electrode interface that gives rise to a high-performing battery system. Furthermore, drawbacks of the electrode materials can be significantly mitigated through hybridization.      

This Special Issue addresses all the hybridization strategies applied in the cathode/anode electrodes and electrolytes to mitigate the drawbacks of the current post-LIBs. In addition, diverse in situ characteristics such as in situ XRD or XANES/EXAFS studies are of interest to investigate the effect of hybridization in the micro- or nano-structural range on battery performance.

I look forward to receiving your contributions to this Special issue to enhance our knowledge of post-LIBs through hybridization.

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. Batteries is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
