Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Secondary battery chemistries are evolving at a fast pace, and different chemistries lead to the formation of new interphases. The stability and components in the electrode–electrolyte interphase are the key parameters that determine the performance indices of batteries. Currently, the post-lithium-ion battery chemistries and unconventional electrolytes lead to a wide variety of interphase components. Investigation of such interphases and co-relation with performance indices are highly essential for the transition of cutting-edge research into transitional technologies.

This Special Issue is intended to highlight advances in the evolution of interfaces and different interphase components in lithium and post-lithium-ion secondary batteries. We expect articles and reviews on the in-depth analysis of such interphases using in operando, in situ, and ex situ studies and investigations on the significance of interfacial engineering for secondary batteries.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Cathode electrolyte interphase;
  • Solid electrolyte interphase;
  • Solid electrolytes (SEs) (sulfides, oxides, etc.);
  • Polymer electrolytes;
  • Ether-based electrolytes;
  • Ex situ analysis of interphase;
  • In situ analysis of interphase;
  • In operando studies on interphase.

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.
