Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Phosphorus (P) and P-based materials are considered as more promising candidates for use in high-performance batteries due to their high specific capacity (~2600 mAh/g, based on Na3P), low cost, non-toxicity, and commercial availability. Their reversibility and cycling stability, however, are hindered by drawbacks of poor electronic conductivity (~ 0−14 S cm−1), low initial coulombic efficiency, and huge volume expansion (~400%) during the charge–discharge process. The goal of this Special Issue is to present a collection of papers on improving the coulombic efficiency, cycling performance, and electrochemical energy storage mechanism of phosphorus and phosphorus-based electrode materials, in addition to other advancements in research, toward facilitating the development of phosphorus and phosphorus-based electrode materials in rechargeable batteries.
Subjects covered include, but are not limited to:
- Preparation of novel functional phosphorus materials for rechargeable batteries.
- Electrochemical energy storage mechanism of phosphorus-based materials for rechargeable batteries.
- Advanced analysis and detection technologies for rechargeable batteries.
- Reviews of advanced phosphorus-based electrode materials for rechargeable 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. Polymers 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.
