Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid development of new-energy vehicles has prompted scientists and governments to seek high-energy storage systems. Metal-air (metal–O2 or metal–CO2) batteries, a promising battery system, have received researcher attention because of their high energy density and environmental friendliness. However, the use of metal-air batteries is challenging due to a number of obstacles that limit their high energy density output. Popular strategies for overcoming this issue are dependent on the electrode materials as well as on the electrolyte. With this in mind, the exploration of promising electrode materials, electrolytes, and even field-assisted technologies will be of great interest to scientists and engineers in the field of metal-air batteries.
This Special Issue, titled “Material Design and Mechanism Research of Metal-Air Batteries”, welcomes original research and reviews in this field and focuses on all aspects of the design, characterization, evaluation, and development of novel electrode materials, electrolytes, and this new metal-air battery system. We cordially invite authors to contribute reviews or research articles to our Special Issue.
All article research submissions should involve research at the molecular level as well as verified experiments.
Dr. Qingchao Liu
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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
