As energy storage demands surpass the limits of conventional Lithium-ion systems, the field is rapidly pivoting toward high-performance, sustainable alternatives. We are pleased to announce a Themed Collection on Beyond Li-ion Batteries, aiming to bridge fundamental materials discovery with rigorous surface/interface engineering and economic viability.

We invite communications and reviews covering diverse chemistries (e.g., Na-ion, K-ion, multivalent, and solid-state systems) to Nanoscale Horizons and Materials Horizons. This collection specifically seeks to connect theoretical innovation with practical realization and standardization.

Topics of interest include:

• Computational & AI-Driven Material Discovery: First-principles modeling, simulations, and ML algorithms for materials screening and discovery.
• Experimental Synthesis: Novel electrodes and electrolytes, scalable synthesis.
• Interface Engineering: Stabilization strategies for electrode-electrolyte interphases.
• Advanced Diagnostics: Characterization of failure modes and degradation mechanisms.
• Standardization: Development of unified testing protocols to ensure data reliability and comparability.
• Technoeconomics & Sustainability: Life cycle analysis (LCA), cost modeling, and environmental impact assessments of emerging battery technologies.

Submissions to the journal should fit within the scope of Nanoscale Horizons or Materials Horizons. We invite authors to select the journal that best suits their submission. Please see the journal webpages for more information on the journals鈥� scopes, standards, article types and author guidelines.  

Please note that primary research is accepted in the form of Communications for both journals and require a 鈥楴ew Concepts statement鈥� to help ascertain the significance of the research. General guidance and examples can be found here. 

If you would like to contribute to this themed collection, you can submit your article directly to the online submission system for鈥痶he selected journal on the submissions platform. Please mention that this submission is a contribution to the Beyond Post-Li Batteries: From Materials Discovery to Interface Engineering collection in the 鈥淭hemed issues鈥� section of the submission form and add a 鈥淣ote to the Editor鈥� that this is from the Open Call.
