Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is focused on emerging technologies for secondary batteries. What is the future direction of lithium-ion batteries? How can we increase the energy density, improve safety and reduce the cost of lithium-ion batteries? Are there any techniques which can replace lithium-ion batteries?
In order to expand the application market, better performance and a lower price for lithium-ion batteries are required. Electrode materials with higher capacity and good stability; solid-state batteries; techniques that reveal the failure mechanism; theoretical simulations; and battery recovery would help to achieve higher energy density, better safety, and a lower price. Other secondary batteries with lower prices or better safety are also being considered to replace lithium-ion batteries in special areas.
This issue discusses the future development of lithium-ion batteries, including high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries and their safety and battery performance, process, battery recovery technology, and other types of secondary batteries to reduce the cost and new techniques/characterizations to boost the development of lithium-ion batteries.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Novel battery materials, cathodes, anodes, separators, and electrolytes;
- Theoretical simulations;
- Solid-state batteries;
- Battery recovery;
- Electrode design;
- Battery design;
- In situ/operando characterizations;
- Safety performance studies and improvement strategies;
- Battery failure studies.

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.
