Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The integration of sensor technologies with advanced battery design and fabrication is a pivotal frontier in developing efficient and reliable energy storage systems. Revolutionary improvements in battery performance can be achieved by transforming battery geometry from 2D to 3D and incorporating nanostructure features into the electrode architecture.
Carbon materials have become essential in various applications, such as lithium-ion batteries, solar cells, and electrochemical catalysts. Materials such as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, nanodiamonds, graphene, graphite, and amorphous carbon play a significant role in developing clean and sustainable energy sources due to their unique and technically important properties.
The accurate measurement of heat and pressure during the charge and discharge cycles is crucial for both prototyping and manufacturing batteries. Monitoring pressure changes within the battery housing provides valuable insights throughout the process, ranging from design to production, quality control, and battery formation. Advanced sensing technologies, including State-of-Charge (SOC) and State-of-Health (SOH) measurements, enable proactive maintenance and minimize downtime.
We invite you to submit research and ideas regarding novel battery design, fabrication, monitoring, and management, as well as the integration of sensing technologies and battery-powered systems, for inclusion in this Special Issue.

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
