Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As an alternative to gasoline fuel, rechargeable energy storage systems (RESS) have garnered the attention of automotive industries since the last decade. A growing number of electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) in the present market depicts the rapid growing demand. Being of superior performance, in terms of high power and energy density, EV and HEV manufacturers largely depends on lithium-ion batteries as the rechargeable energy source. However, automotive applications require batteries with high performance, as well as with a high level of safety. For instance, heat generated within the cell is one of the major concerns for safety and performance of the battery cell. Total heat generation within the cell can generally be attributed to the contributions of reversible heat (entropic heat components related to the electrochemical reactions) and irreversible heat (ohmic and polarization resistance heat components). On the one hand, high cell temperature, even locally, can have a detrimental influence on the cell performance; for instance, cycle life of the cell can be heavily influenced leading to accelerated ageing of the cell. On the other hand, excessive and uncontrolled heat can lead to thermal runway and ultimately may lead to explosion of the cell. Therefore, understanding, monitoring and optimizing the operating temperature of the cell during operation are of crucial importance. In this Special Issue, we welcome review articles and original research papers focusing on recent progress and developments in the field of battery thermal studies.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Battery thermal characteristics
- Novel battery thermal characterization techniques
- Impact of aging on battery thermal management design
- Battery thermal management concepts and design
- Battery thermal modelling
- Development of safety functions
- Safety investigation

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
