Batteries are the most widely used energy storage devices, and their performance is largely dependent on the materials used in their electrodes. The conventional electrodes used in batteries have significant limitations in terms of energy density, durability, and sustainability. Thus, there is a need for the development of advanced electrode materials that can overcome these limitations and provide improved performance in terms of energy storage capacity, cycle life, and cost-effectiveness.
In this line, our objective is to extensively explore “synthesis-structure-properties-performance” commonly known as the materials tetrahedron, of cutting-edge battery materials to advance our understanding of their potential and optimize their utilization in energy storage applications.
Overall, research on these cutting-edge electrode materials has numerous benefits including improved energy storage, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, enhanced convenience, and productivity, all contributing towards a more sustainable and carbon-neutral society.
In a broad sense, we hope to find innovative solutions to improve the performance of electrode materials and bring about advancements in energy storage technology.
Improving the performance of electrode materials requires a fundamental understanding of the underlying physical and chemical processes. Researchers are studying the relationship between the structure, composition, and performance of electrode materials at different length scales, from the atomic level to the macroscopic level. By understanding the relationship between structure and performance, researchers can design and optimize new materials with improved properties.
Another challenge is achieving good cycling stability and low degradation of electrode materials over multiple cycles of charge and discharge. To address this issue, researchers are focusing on developing new synthesis methods and control parameters to stabilize the structure and composition of materials.
In summary, to tackle the problem of cutting-edge electrode materials for energy storage, researchers are focusing on the design and synthesis of new materials with tailored structures and properties. Recent advances in computational methods and materials synthesis are helping to accelerate the discovery of new materials with improved properties. Additionally, a fundamental understanding of the relationship between the structure and performance of electrode materials is essential to developing new materials with improved performance.
Therefore, the desired contribution topics should be the ones detailed below, but not limited to these:
• Innovative Electrode Material Design
• Sustainable and energy-savvy synthesis strategies
• Better Fundamental correlation to the experimental observations
• Decent material performance
• In-depth physicochemical analysis

Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
