Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide an up-to-date overview of advanced techniques for battery analysis, including both laboratory-based methods and large scale facilities techniques such as synchrotrons or neutron sources. Radiation from infrared to hard X-ray range permits checking, for instance, the electronic structure of selected atomic species and the local and the average structure of electrode materials using scattering and absorption techniques. Key factors governing the modification of electrode/electrolyte interfaces can be studied by microscopy, Raman, and also by surface sensitive techniques such as photoelectron spectroscopy or SIMS, even in aged electrodes. Advanced computational protocols for data acquisition, treatment, and storage are essential for high-throughput techniques aiming at fast material discovery or detailed operando analysis. Everyone working in these fields is strongly encouraged to submit a contribution.

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.
