Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the demand for cost-effective and high-efficiency energy storage rises, there is particular interest in developing alternatives to the widely used lithium-ion batteries. Sodium-based batteries are considered a highly promising candidate to potentially replace current lithium-ion batteries owing to the high abundance and low costs associated with sodium. However, current sodium-based batteries still suffer from many limitations, including limited capacity, cycling capability, and safety. This Special Issue will cover recent insights into the development, properties and potential applications of sodium-ion based energy storage materials, including, but not limited to, the following topics:
- The development of high-efficiency sodium-based batteries;
- Mechanism study for sodium-based batteries;
- Novel electrode materials for use within sodium-based batteries;
- Novel electrolyte materials for sodium-based batteries;
- Potential applications of sodium-based energy storage materials.
We welcome submissions from researchers across the globe.

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.
