Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology is revolutionizing the field of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries and beyond, offering groundbreaking advancements in performance, safety, and sustainability. Li-ion batteries have become the cornerstone of modern portable electronics, electric vehicles, and renewable energy storage due to their high energy density, long cycle life, and reliability. Recent advances in Li-ion battery technology focus on enhancing performance, safety, and sustainability. Innovations in cathode and anode materials, such as nickel-rich oxides and silicon-based anodes, aim to increase energy density and capacity and solid-state batteries (SSBs) significantly improve safety and performance by employing non-flammable solid electrolytes. Additionally, developments in manufacturing techniques and recycling processes are essential for cost-effective and environmentally friendly production. Beyond Li-ion technology, research explores alternative chemistries, including lithium–sulfur, sodium-ion, and multivalent ion batteries, which promise higher energy densities and improved safety. These new battery systems leverage nanoscale innovations to overcome the limitations of traditional systems.
We invite you to contribute to our Special Issue, entitled “Nanotechnology in Li-Ion Batteries and Beyond”, which aims to showcase the latest breakthroughs in Li-ion battery technology and explore new chemistries and configurations that could surpass the limitations of traditional systems. This Special Issue also aims to drive forward the research and development of battery technology, fostering innovations that can meet growing demands for energy storage solutions. We look forward to your contributions and to advancing the field together.

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. Micromachines 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 2600 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.
