Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The world's growing need for energy storage, fueled by electric cars and renewable energy, demands faster progress in battery technology, especially in making them safer. This Special Issue, "Advanced Battery Safety Technologies: From Materials to Systems", is essential to tackle this challenge. Covering everything from the basic science of materials (with a focus on safety) to how batteries are designed as systems, including how they're modeled, what makes them fail, thermal control, designing for safety, and using safe and sustainable materials, this publication will encourage experts from different fields to work together and speed up breakthroughs in battery safety. It will be a key resource for researchers, engineers, and policymakers, helping create safer, more efficient, and eco-friendly batteries.
This Special Issue will showcase the latest research across the whole battery process, from making new materials with inherent safety to designing smart battery management systems with advanced control and improving manufacturing with strict safety rules. By bringing together all this safety-focused knowledge, the journal aims to inspire new ideas and guide future research, ultimately leading to a truly safe and sustainable energy future. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Battery modeling;
- Battery failure modes;
- Thermal management;
- Safety of battery systems;
- Battery system design optimization;
- Sustainable battery materials;
- Next-gen battery material safety;
- Battery management systems;
- Safety in battery manufacturing.

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.
