Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Alkali metal ion batteries represent a serious and growing concern in the field of energy conversion and storage. Although enormous efforts have been devoted to them and outstanding progress has been achieved to date, a general strategy for achieving active, stable, and safe alkali metal ion batteries, which require advanced materials and clear structure–property linkage, is still missing. This Special Issue aims to share selected contributions on advances in the synthesis, characterizations, and applications of nanomaterials with regard to alkali metal ion batteries. Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Li-ion batteries;
- Na-ion batteries;
- K-ion batteries;
- Nanomaterial design on batteries;
- Nanocoatings and nanocomposites;
- Mechanisms of action;
- Adverse effects of nanomaterials;
- Future perspectives for alkali metals ion batteries;
- Role of alkali metals ion batteries in energy storages.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
