Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Batteries are the core components of electric vehicles. Their performance directly determines a vehicle's driving range, power, and safety. If the heat from a battery cannot be dissipated effectively and in a timely manner, it can easily lead to thermal runaway or even an explosion of the battery, posing a serious threat to the life and safety of passengers and drivers. Therefore, researching battery safety and thermal management technologies is crucial for enhancing the overall performance and market acceptance of electric vehicles.
In this Special Issue, we aim to gather the latest research findings in the field of battery safety and thermal management for electric vehicles worldwide. Our goals are to explore key technical issues—such as battery thermal runaway mechanisms, thermal management system designs, material innovation, fault diagnosis and prevention—and to promote breakthroughs and applications of related technologies to provide valid support for the sustainable development of the electric vehicle industry.
Topics of interest include the following:
- Battery thermal runaway mechanisms and prevention;
- Thermal management system and strategy design;
- Fault diagnosis and protection technologies;
- Artificial intelligence for the design of safe batteries;
- Battery state estimation and degradation management;
- Battery materials and technological innovations for safety;
- Thermal runaway simulations and experiments;
- Battery thermal simulations and experiments.

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.
