Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Compared to traditional combustion-engine-powered vehicles that can be refilled in 5 min, electric vehicles, especially those with high energy-density batteries, currently take much longer to refill. To meet the expectations of consumers, fast-charging lithium batteries are desirable and considered a key challenge for the widespread adoption of electric vehicles. Many obstacles such as extensive energy decay and safety issues hinder the fast-charging target of charging to 80% state of charge within 10‒15 min. Recently, the fast-charging-related research has increased rapidly, and more research is expected in coming years. This Special Issue is looking for contributions to help us understand the mechanism and obstacles of fast charging and gather innovative studies on novel materials and technologies to improve fast-charging capability of batteries.
Potential topics include but not are limited to:
- Li-ion batteries, Li metal batteries, Li-S, Li-O, etc.
- Material development including anode, cathode, electrolyte, etc.
- Electrode and cell design and fabrication.
- Cell performance testing including cycle life and thermal safety investigation.
- Characterization methodology investigation.
- Modeling and machine learning to understand and predict cell performance.

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.
