Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The rapidly growing need for electric vehicles and stationary energy storage places stringent demands on rechargeable batteries that show both high performance and high safety. Solid-state batteries (SSBs) are being considered as a game-changing approach, and they have become a global research focus in the past few years. However, SSBs still face several key challenges in both science and engineering, which include SSE fabrications, interface stability in both anodes and cathodes, scaling up, and recycling.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

  • Reports of new solid-state electrolytes;
  • New fabrication methods of solid-state electrolytes;
  • Lithium transport mechanisms in solid electrolytes;
  • Stability between solid-state electrolytes and cathodes;
  • Interface stability between solid-state electrolytes and Li metal anodes;
  • Silicon anodes in solid-state batteries;
  • Assembly of solid electrolyte pouch cells;
  • Recycling of solid-state batteries.

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.
