Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In order to meet the increasing demand for energy storage, it is necessary and urgent to develop next-generation high-performance rechargeable batteries. The aim of this Special Issue is to present the state-of-the-art research progress in the field of next-generation metal-ion batteries, including but not limited to lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and multivalent metal-ion batteries (e.g., magnesium, calcium, aluminum, and zinc ions).

Special emphasis will be placed on new materials, new methods, and new mechanisms with dramatically improved performances, such as specific capacity, cycling stability, rate capability, energy density, safety, and environmental protections. Articles and reviews related to electrode materials, binders, conductive agents, electrolytes, and separators are all welcome in this Special Issue. In addition, we would like to emphasize that this Special Issue is widely inclusive, so we expect a large number of works to fall within its scope.

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

Dr. Yan Wang
Guest Editor

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.

The application of nickel-rich cathodes in lithium-ion batteries has been hampered by its rapid capacity/voltage fading and limited performance of rate. In this work, a passivation technique is used to create a stable composite interface on single-crystal LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811) surface, which greatly improves the cycle life-span and high-voltage constancy of cathode with 4.5 and 4.6 V cut-off voltage. The improved Li+ conductivity of the interface enables a firm cathode–electrolyte interphase (CEI), which reduces interfacial side reactions, lowers the risk of safety hazards, and improves irreversible phase transitions. As a result, the electrochemical performance of single-crystal Ni-rich cathode are remarkably enhanced. The specific capacity of 152 mAh g−1 can be delivered at a charging/discharging rate of 5 C under 4.5 V cut-off voltage, much higher than 115 mAh g−1 of the pristine NCM811. After 200 cycles at 1 C, the composite interface modified NCM811 demonstrates outstanding capacity retention of 85.4% and 83.8% at 4.5 V and 4.6 V cut-off voltage, respectively. Full article
