Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The market presence of products integrating Lithium-Ion-based battery packs is showing a steady increase, and in recent years, this phenomenon has also started to arise in sectors typically characterized by a high use of fossil fuels. Nevertheless, challenges related to the safety, monitoring and performance improvement of these systems remain highly relevant. The aim of this Special Issue is to collect the most recent and notable findings in these research fields, with the included outcomes providing both theoretical groundwork and practical insights to support advancements in battery system technologies. The topics covered by this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Mechanical Safety Structures of Battery Packs.
- Battery Systems Monitoring and Diagnostic Techniques.
- Battery Management Strategies.
- Battery Management System Architectures.
- Thermal Management Strategies.
- Thermal Runaway Prediction and Mitigation.
- Li-Ion Cell State Estimation.
- Safety and Reliability of Battery Systems.
- Mechanical Strength of Li-Ion Cells.
- Environmental Impact of Battery-Based Energy Storage Systems.

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-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.
