Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The electrochemical energy storage device demand keeps on increasing since the discovery of its utility as a strong material in daily life. The current lithium-ion batteries have been used in applications including electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and large scale energy storage systems. The limited availability of lithium resources would prevent complete electrification and may fail to fulfill the continuous increment of energy demand. This concern welcomes the sodium-ion and potassium-ion batteries for the reason of infinite sodium and potassium resources are widely distributed throughout the world with affordable cost. Accordingly, the research and development of energy storage materials with advanced nanoarchitecture would increase the performance of lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and potassium-ion batteries. The thermal safety studies of the energy materials can reveal the thermal runaway of the battery in high-power applications and lead to operation with enhanced safety.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
