Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increased use of low-carbon energy is enhancing the demand for advanced secondary batteries. Beyond lithium-ion batteries, innovative alternatives such as sodium, potassium, aqueous zinc, and magnesium ion batteries have garnered attention in recent years. This Special Issue welcomes the submission of research addressing high-performance secondary batteries, the exploration of innovative materials, enhanced electrochemical performance, and improved safety and stability. Such studies will lead to vital advances in the development of battery technology and broaden the horizon for future energy storage solutions.
The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics: lithium-ion batteries and post-lithium-ion batteries, including sulfur-based batteries, sodium/potassium/zinc-ion batteries, and metal–air batteries.

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.
