Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue “10th Anniversary of Batteries: Battery Heath, Aging and Degradation Mechanisms” examines how battery performance changes over time, focusing on the factors driving aging, the degradation mechanisms involved, and methods of monitoring, assessing, or mitigating these effects.
Understanding these elements is crucial for improving battery design and enhancing its reliability, efficiency, and lifespan.
Key topics of interest include the following:
- Degradation Mechanisms: Study of the physico-chemical processes responsible for capacity loss, increased internal resistance, and reduced battery lifespan;
- Performance, Reliability, and State of Health (SoH): Research on how aging affects key performance parameters of batteries, methods for estimating and predicting their state of health, and strategies to enhance their reliability and operational efficiency;
- Safety Considerations: Analysis of how degradation impacts battery safety, including the risks of thermal runaway and the implementation of mitigation measures to ensure safe operation.
In celebration of the journal’s 10th anniversary, this Special Issue highlights advances in battery health and aging. We invite researchers, industry professionals, and academics to submit feature papers that present their latest findings, share insights, and discuss future directions in the field. By addressing these critical aspects, this Special Issue aims to contribute to the development of more durable, efficient, and safe battery technologies.
Prof. Dr. Pascal Venet

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.
