Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Batteries are excellent electric storage devices, which include lithium, sodium and potassium batteries. Batteries are widely used in many fields and contribute much to the development of new energy. However, the cycle life and thermal safety of batteries are key factors to be considered during their use. To increase the cycle and calendar life of batteries, battery-aging mechanisms and their influencing factors should be studied. Their state of health and remaining useful life prediction, charging strategy optimization, and fault diagnosis algorithm are important to battery health. To increase the thermal safety of lithium-ion batteries, thermal stability, thermal runaway and thermal runaway propagation mechanisms should be studied. The heat generation of batteries during charging/discharging or thermal runaway needs to be calculated. Any studies on modeling on thermal runaway, thermal runaway propagation and its suppression are important to the thermal safety of batteries. Thermal management systems are important to prolong the cycle life and control the thermal safety of batteries. Thermal management modeling (cooling or preheating) ought to be studied.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to battery-aging mechanisms and their influencing factors; health algorithms; thermal safety mechanisms and its influencing factors; and thermal safety modeling.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Battery aging, including aging behavior, aging mechanisms, influencing factors, knee point of battery degradation and semi-empirical models.
- Battery health algorithms, including state of health and remaining useful life prediction, charging strategy optimization and fault diagnosis.
- Heat generation analysis, including heat generation calculation and modeling, temperature prediction.
- Thermal safety mechanisms, including thermal stability, thermal runaway, thermal runaway propagation and their influencing factors.
- Thermal safety modeling, including thermal runaway, thermal runaway propagation and its suppression.
- Thermal management systems (preheating and cooling), including experimental and simulation studies.

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.
