Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The years 2011–2020 comprised the warmest decade ever recorded, with the global average temperature reaching 1.1 °C above pre-industrial levels in 2019. The evidence is clear: the main cause of climate change is burning fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal. When burnt, fossil fuels release carbon dioxide into the air, causing the planet to heat up. The exploration and utilization of renewable energy to generate electricity can effectively reduce reliance on traditional fossil fuels and create a sustainable and green future for all human beings. However, renewables are intermittent, and require advanced energy storage and conversion systems, such as rechargeable batteries, to provide a continuous power supply. High-performance and cost-effective electrode materials are key for the successful implementation of rechargeable batteries.

Following the popularity of the last Special Issue, we have produced a second version. This Special Issue of Molecules aims to collect contributions on novel electrode materials for rechargeable batteries. As Guest Editors of this Special Issue, we are writing to invite you to contribute a research paper, rapid communication, perspective, or review article on your latest research activities in the field of rechargeable batteries.

This Special Issue will offer a forum to present papers focused on rechargeable batteries, especially related to the synthesis, characterization, and practical application of novel electrode materials. We kindly invite contributions covering the aspects broadly indicated by the keywords.

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. Molecules 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 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.
