Advances Materials for All-Solid-State Li-S Batteries

Dear Colleagues,

All-solid-state Li-S batteries possess superiorities compared to Li-S batteries employing organic liquid electrolyte owing not just to the termination of the shuttle effect but also to the ease of materials and electrode composite design. The fabrication of positive electrodes has been well-studied to date, with the development of several types of active materials and their composites with solid electrolytes and electronic conductive materials. This Special Issue is devoted to gathering the latest updates on the development of fundamental studies on all-solid-state Li-S batteries:

• Development of active materials or electrolytes for all-solid-state Li-S batteries;
• New strategies on the fabrication of positive electrode composites, especially composite of oxide type solid electrolytes;
• Fabrication of negative electrode composites with the usage of graphite, silicon, Li metal, etc.;
• Investigation of binder in both positive and negative electrodes;
• Mechanical properties of materials, composites, and all-solid-state Li-S.

Thus, researchers from different fields are very welcome to contribute fundamental knowledge aimed at a wide community for the development and application of all-solid-state Li-S 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. Electronic Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
