Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Batteries (including metal-ion, all-solid-state, and metal–air batteries) can be engineered using numerical methods (i.e., finite element analysis, mathematical models, and so on) for the sustainable and rapid development of electric vehicles, portable electronics, and renewable energy storage systems. This Special Issue delves into the latest numerical modeling techniques and their critical role in enhancing our understanding of battery performance, efficiency, and lifespan. Contributors highlight innovative computational methods that predict battery behavior under various conditions, thereby aiding in the design of more robust, sustainable, and efficient batteries. A significant focus is placed on the determination of material properties essential for supplying accurate data to numerical models. The Special Issue also emphasizes the importance of experimental validation, presenting studies where theoretical models are rigorously tested against experimental data to ensure accuracy and reliability.

In this Special Issue, scientists and engineers are encouraged to submit articles addressing the following topics:

  1. Advanced numerical modeling techniques: development of new algorithms for simulating battery behavior.
  2. Material property determination: techniques for measuring material properties critical to numerical simulation.
  3. Electrochemical simulation: modeling of electrochemical reactions within the battery.
  4. Thermal management strategies: modeling heat generation and dissipation in lithium batteries.
  5. Degradation mechanisms: investigations into the chemical and mechanical degradation of battery components.
  6. Experimental validation: development of protocols for validating model accuracy and reliability.
  7. Integration of machine learning algorithms: combining machine learning with traditional modeling techniques.
  8. Battery design optimization: application of numerical models to optimize battery design for specific applications (i.e., electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and so on).

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.
