Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-energy solid-state batteries, such as all-solid-state lithium batteries, hold great promise for next-generation energy storage. Yet challenges such as lithium dendrite formation and interfacial instability remain major barriers to their practical applications.
This Special Issue aims to highlight materials development and interfacial engineering that address these critical challenges. We welcome contributions that explore both experimental and computational approaches, including novel solid electrolytes synthesis; innovative electrode/electrolyte interface engineering; advanced operando characterization techniques; large-scale modeling; machine-learning molecular dynamics; kinetic Monte Carlo simulations and AI-assisted materials discovery. Interdisciplinary, data-driven approaches are highly encouraged.
By covering innovations from fundamental mechanisms to prototype demonstrations, this Special Issue aims to accelerate the development of high-performance, efficient solid-state batteries.
I look forward to your submissions.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. ChemEngineering 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 1800 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.
