Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As one of the most widely applied energy-storage devices in modern society, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have played an important role in fields such as portable devices and electric vehicles. However, a series of problems such as limited energy density, poor safety and the rising cost of raw materials have become major challenges hindering the further development of lithium-ion batteries. Materials applied in lithium-ion batteries, especially electrode materials, are responsible for the transport of charges and storage of energy, which are considered to be one of the most critical components affecting the performance of LIBs. Thus, there is an urgent need for systematic research and cooperation in related fields about lithium-ion batteries material in order to successful resolve the current obstacles and for the development of next-generation LIBs.
Therefore, this Special Issue invites researchers to present their latest developments related to lithium-ion battery materials, with particular focus on (but not limited to) new high-capacity cathode materials, high-performance anode materials, lithium-ion battery electrolytes, separator materials, carbon-based composites, silicon–carbon composites, oxide-based composites, alloy cathode materials, solid-state lithium-ion batteries, and lithium–metal batteries.

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.
