Call for papers: Solvation structure engineering in battery electrolytes for demanding operating conditions
Published in Materials and Sustainability
What is this collection about?
The performance and longevity of batteries are critically influenced by the electrolyte solvation structure, particularly under demanding operating conditions such as high voltage, extreme temperatures, and rapid charging.
This cross-journal Collection invites cutting-edge research on electrolyte solvation structure engineering that advances:
- Molecular design
- Interfacial chemistry
- Electrolyte formulations, including environmentally sustainable variants
The Collection focuses on research that enables:
- High-voltage cycling
- Fast-charging and high-power capabilities
- Wide-temperature-range operation
Why is this collection important?
This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 13 (Climate Action). By advancing electrolyte design and interfacial chemistry, the research showcased in this Collection can contribute to the development of more efficient, durable, and sustainable energy-storage technologies.
Why submit to a collection?
