Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rechargeable zinc-based batteries are attractive candidates for energy storage systems owning to their safety, low cost, etc. However, the hazards caused by uncontrollable zinc dendrite growth and side reactions hinder their practical application. Therefore, fundamental investigations, advances and future perspectives on zinc-based batteries are necessary for improving the practical applications.
In this Special Issue, we will focus on innovative design strategies, performance improvements, mechanism analyses and novel electrode materials for zinc-based batteries. We would like to invite original research articles and comprehensive reviews, providing innovative research work and deep insights into zinc-based batteries. These research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- The design of highly stable aqueous Zn-batteries;
- The design of highly stable solid-state Zn-batteries;
- Advanced characterizations;
- Mechanism analysis,
- Zn-air batteries;
- Zinc-based flow battery;
- Hybrid zinc-ion batteries;
- Dendrites formation, growth, and prevention.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
