Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Li-ion batteries (LiBs) are an essential component of the zero-carbon energy transition around the world and for reaching COP26’s goal of securing global net-zero emissions by the middle of the century. However, their rapid growth is accompanied by significant drawbacks. It is expected that their continual demand for use in electric vehicles (EVs) will lead to global environmental and supply chain concerns, as the critical materials used in LiBs (e.g., cobalt, lithium, nickel, graphite, and manganese) are finite and mined in only a few regions around the world. This means we will eventually have to deal with significant battery waste. However, with appropriate and improved battery management in EVs, we can enhance the performance of these batteries, prolong their life in EVs, enable their use in secondary applications, and promote the recycling and reuse of EV batteries to mitigate global environmental and supply chain concerns. This Special Issue of Batteries aims to explore recent advances and future trends in battery management in EVs that will enable us to reach global net-zero emissions by the middle of the century.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Innovative battery management system (BMS);
- Artificial intelligence in battery management;
- Enhanced algorithms for battery control and monitoring of the state of charge (SOC), state of health (SOH), state of power (SOP), etc;
- Battery diagnostic and prognostic functions;
- Thermal management for batteries;
- Novel sensing methods to enhance battery safety and BMS’s operation;
- Battery aging in EVs and its impact on secondary applications;
- Non-destructive testing and diagnostics for thermal runaway and battery management;
- New materials, advanced manufacturing methods, and novel cell and pack design for promoting the recycling and reuse of batteries;
- Digital twins of batteries for performance optimization;
- Multi-objective optimization strategies for batteries.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
