Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Lithium-ion batteries are some of the most important technologies used for energy storage, and the increasing need for electrical vehicles and grid energy storage continues to stimulate the rapid growth of the lithium-ion battery market. Many excellent battery materials, processing and manufacturing technologies have been developed for low-cost, high-performance, and safe lithium-ion batteries. However, the diversified market and fast-growing battery manufacturing requires more fundamental and engineering support from academia. A deeper understanding from material science and electrochemistry perspectives will be beneficial and will promote the development of battery materials processing and battery manufacturing.

In this Special Issue, we will outline the status of battery processing and manufacturing technologies, propose strategies for tackling challenges and issues in this field, and provide valuable references for the academic and industrial battery community. We are seeking original research papers and review papers that will enhance our knowledge of battery processing and manufacturing from a material science and electrochemistry standpoint.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

  1. Battery material synthesis and challenges in scaling up;
  2. Electrode formulation and processing;
  3. Battery design;
  4. Battery testing and diagnosis techniques;
  5. Battery material recycling and upcycling;
  6. Battery materials characterization;
  7. Solid state battery manufacturing.
  8. Flow batteries
  9. Aqueous 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.

As the most promising high energy density technology, lithium metal batteries are associated with serious interfacial challenges because the electrolytes employed are unable to meet the requirements of both electrodes simultaneously, namely, the systems that work for Li metal are highly likely to be unsuitable for the cathode, and vice versa. In this study, we investigate the synergistic effects of lithium bis (oxalate) borate (LiBOB), fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) and adiponitrile (ADN) to develop a formula that is compatible with both elements in the battery. The solid–electrolyte interphase (SEI) multi-layer generated from LiBOB and FEC successfully protects the electrolyte from the lithium and suppresses the decomposition of ADN on lithium, identified by the tiny amounts of isonitriles on the surface of the anode. Simultaneously, most of the ADN molecules remain and protect the cathode particles via the absorption layer of the nitrile groups, in the same way that this process works in commercial lithium-ion batteries. Benefiting from the stable interfacial films formed synchronously on the anode and cathode, the Li/LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cells with an area capacity of ~3 mAh cm−2 operate stably beyond 250 cycles and target the accumulated capacity to levels as high as ~653.4 mAh cm−2. Our approach demonstrates that electrolyte engineering with known additives is a practical strategy for addressing the challenges of lithium batteries. Full article
