Lithium batteries : From materials to systems

Submission status
Closed
Rechargeable lithium batteries are considered the most effective energy storage systems for portable electronics, electric vehicles, and smart grid owing to their high energy density and lifetime. This special issue presents recent advancements in materials and analyses for lithium-ion batteries, lithium metal batteries, lithium–sulfur batteries, and lithium–air batteries. Review and original research articles describing the development of electrodes, electrolytes, and advanced analyses (spectral techniques and microscopy-based methods), as well as their broad applications are included.
