Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For significant industrial areas such as electrified transportation, consumer electronics, and stationary energy storage, lithium batteries (including lithium-ion, lithium–sulfur, and lithium–air cells) are regarded as enabling technology. Therefore, it is crucial to develop next-generation rechargeable Li-ion batteries with higher energy densities, enhanced safety features, reduced costs, and longer cycle lives.
In this Special Issue, we aim to address topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following:
- Novel LIB electrode materials;
- Replacing traditional liquid electrolytes—e.g., ionic liquids, high-salt-content electrolytes, and solid-state batteries;
- High-performance and functional separators;
- Advanced fabrication technologies;
- Performance improvement or mechanism under extreme environments or conditions;
- Advanced flexible lithium-ion batteries;
- Degradability or sustainability of lithium-ion batteries;
- New battery chemistry;
- Technologies and functionality of battery management system.

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.
