Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As a next-generation energy storage device, solid-state batteries offer great promise with a higher energy density, reduced cost, wider operating temperature range, and improved safety for the applications of electronic devices, electrical vehicles, and smart grids. As the most critical component, electrolytes for solid-state batteries, including solid polymer electrolytes, inorganic solid electrolytes (such as oxides, sulfides, halides, and so on), and their combinations, are developed. Nevertheless, there are still grand challenges relevant to these solid electrolytes that discourage their practical applications, such as the limited types and low ionic conductivity of solid-state electrolytes, high charge-transfer impedance, interfacial issues, and dendrite growth.
We are therefore organizing a Special Issue on Electrolytes for Solid-State Batteries in Batteries (ISSN: 2313-0105, and more details can be found at: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/batteries). This Special Issue will present papers addressing the original and innovative areas as well as reviews and opinion pieces relevant to electrolytes and electrolyte surfaces for all kinds of solid-state batteries.
Potential topics include (but are not limited to):
- Quasi/all-solid polymer electrolytes;
- Inorganic solid electrolytes (such as oxides, sulfides, halides and so on);
- Hybrid solid electrolytes;
- Eutectogel electrolyte;
- In situ fabricated solid-state electrolyte;
- Interfacial design and evolution;
- Ion-conductive mechanism;
- Solid state batteries (such as lithium, sodium, … );
- Safety evaluation;
- Characterization techniques and theoretical computation/simulation of electrolyte and batteries;
- Materials Genome Initiative, Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine learning (ML) of solid electrolytes and batteries.
In view of your international standing as a research scientist, we cordially invite you and your colleagues to contribute a manuscript.

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. Batteries is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
