Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the expansion of the electric vehicle (EV) market, industries are demanding higher-energy-density and lower-cost lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Since the cathode is the largest component in LIBs in terms of weight and cost, it is believed that the main bottleneck in attaining high energy densities lies in cathode chemistry. In particular, nickel-based layered oxides, the cathode material of choice for current EV batteries, suffer from the price volatility associated with cobalt and nickel. In this regard, tremendous research efforts are ongoing to improve the electrochemical performance of cathodes while reducing their dependency on geopolitically sensitive chemical elements.
In this Special Issue of Batteries, we are inviting articles focused on the development of cathode materials for rechargeable batteries. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, discovery of new cathode materials, chemical/structural optimization of cathode materials, degradation mechanism analysis, and development of next-generation cathodes. Original research articles and reviews involving synthesis, characterization, fabrication, and applications are welcome.

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.
