Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, renewable energy (solar, wind, etc.) and electric vehicles (EV) have become more competitive with conventional energy technologies and vehicles that rely on fossil fuel (oil, gas, and coal). However, to enable these clean energy technologies, there is an urgent need to develop new-generation energy storage systems.
Among all currently available energy storage technologies, lithium-ion batteries (LIB) possess the highest gravimetric and volumetric energy density. Hence, lithium-ion batteries have become the dominant energy storage technology, especially for powering portable electronics devices. LIBs have also been considered as energy storage sources for emerging applications in transportation systems, including electrified automobiles and smart grids. Unlike mobile applications, the emerging application for automobiles and grids comes with substantially higher requirements in various aspects of lithium-ion batteries; these requirements include significantly higher energy density, longer cycle/calendar life, better safety characteristics, and lower cost. Major R&D activities are underway to tackle the above technological barriers for state-of-the-art lithium-ion technology to meet the demanding requirements for transportation and grid applications.
This Special Issue provides an opportunity to showcase your state-of-the-art research and original work that focus on the development of new materials to satisfy the increasing energy demand of new markets such as pure electric vehicles (EV) and grid storage.

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. Sustainability 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 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.
