Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Li-S batteries have great potential to be high-energy-density devices due to their ultrahigh theoretical energy density of 2600 Wh kg-1. However, there are still several significant technological challenges, including their low sulfur utilization; the “shuttle effect” of soluble polysulfides; and the irreversible, large volume expansion of the cathode structure during cycling, which hinders the commercialization of Li−S batteries. This Special Issue aims to publish a collection of papers on electrode/electrolyte design, binder/separator modification, and metallic Li protection for boosting the electrochemical performance of advanced Li-S batteries. Meanwhile, this collection is not limited to the above topics, and also can be extended to areas of computational chemistry or machine learning.

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.
