Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Revolutionary changes in energy storage technology have put forward higher requirements on next-generation advanced electrode materials for lithium/potassium/sodium storage. Up to date, many advanced electrode materials, such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), conducting coordination polymers containing alkali ions, high-entropy oxide (HOE), high-entropy sulfide (HES), etc., have been developed and studied as potential electrode materials. In addition, their designable architecture, tunable porous structure, and easy functionalization expand their application in numerous fields, particularly in energy storage and energy conversion.
This Special Issue will cover promising and novel research trends in the synthesis and characterization of advanced electrode materials and the exploration of their applications in lithium/potassium/sodium storage. The topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Synthesis and characterizations of MOFs and COFs.
- Synthesis and characterizations of high-entropy materials.
- Synthesis and characterizations of other advanced electrode materials (anode or cathode).
- Kinetic-enhanced lithium/potassium/sodium storage materials.
- In-depth working mechanisms of electrode materials.
- Relationships between micro- and mesoporous structures and electrochemical performance.
- Theoretical calculations for the advancement of electrode materials.
We appreciate your kind replies letting us know whether you are interested in submitting. Thank you so much!

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.
