Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Solid electrolytes are key enablers of next-generation all-solid-state batteries, offering improved safety, higher energy density, and longer lifespans. However, challenges remain in achieving fast ionic transport, wide electrochemical stability, strong mechanical properties, and stable electrode interfaces. The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of the state of the art, to present new research results and to discuss the promising future research directions about advanced Solid Electrolytes.
- High-entropy solid electrolytes (oxides, sulfides, halides, polymers, hybrids)
- Ion transport mechanisms, defect chemistry, and structural stability
- Advanced interface modification and artificial interphases
- Lithium dendrite suppression strategies
- Computational, machine-learning, and multiscale modeling approaches
- In situ/operando characterization of interfaces and ion dynamics
- Design principles bridging materials innovation and device integration

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.
