Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the birth of lithium (Li)-based batteries that are operated with liquid electrolytes, the electrode–electrolyte interface has become a critical issue for batteries and, in recent years, to efforts to increase the operating voltages. Electrode–electrolyte interfacial behavior has also received more and more interest for its relevance to next-generation batteries (such as, aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), sodium (Na) or proton (H) batteries). Therefore, the electrode–electrolyte interface during electrochemical reaction must be characterized and understood to guide the design of advanced batteries. Researchers are warmly invited to publish their original research papers or review papers in this Special Issue.
- Mg battery with interfacial engineering;
- Al battery with interfacial engineering;
- The development of solid-electrolyte-based (polymer- or ceramic-electrolyte) Li+-ion batteries;
- The interfacial chemical/electrochemical reactions in batteries;
- The structural/compositional evolution during the electrochemical reaction;
- Thermodynamic/kinetic behaviors at the electrode–electrolyte interface;
- Development of more sustainable battery materials;
- Understanding and manipulating the electrode–electrolyte interfaces in batteries;
- Electrical and electrochemical simulations;
- Solid electrolyte interphase (SEI).

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
