Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue on “Recent Progress in Advanced Materials for Solid-State Lithium Batteries”. This Special Issue aims to give an overview of recent developments on electrode and electrolyte materials and composites for application in solid-state lithium-ion batteries (SSLIB). In recent years, SSLIB have emerged as one of the most promising technologies for replacing conventional lithium-ion batteries since they can offer simpler battery design with improved safety and durability. However, the mechanical and (electro)chemical instability of solid electrolytes, high interfacial resistance and insufficient interfacial contact between electrode and electrolyte remain challenging issues that limits their practical application. Alongside technological developments, the need for sustainable battery development is considered essential to achieve carbon neutrality. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to provide fundamental understanding to overcome these challenges and make substantial contributions to the development of safer, clean and sustainable SSLiB.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Solid electrolytes design and formulation;
- Synthesis, characterization and properties of the electrode materials;
- Electrochemical performance and stability;
- Interfacial phenomena and charge transfer resistances;
- Thin film batteries.
Authors are welcome to submit their latest research in the form of original full articles, communications, or reviews on this topic.

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. Coatings 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 2600 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.
