Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aqueous ion batteries demonstrate significant potential for applications in large-scale energy storage, wearable electronics, and medical devices due to their inherent safety, cost-effectiveness, and high ionic conductivity. However, they still face critical challenges, including a narrow voltage window, severe side reactions, electrode dissolution, dendrite growth, and limited temperature adaptability. These interrelated issues collectively constrain the energy density, long-term cycling stability, and reliability of aqueous ion batteries, severely hindering their practical implementation. Consequently, enhancing the overall performance of aqueous ion batteries has become a major research focus.
This Special Issue, themed “Management and Strategies Toward Enhanced Performance in Aqueous Ion Batteries”, is dedicated to showcasing innovative achievements, key breakthroughs and future development trends in this field, while providing valuable insights for relevant researchers. We welcome submissions of original research articles, review papers, and perspective articles.
Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Electrolyte Optimization for Aqueous Ion Batteries
- Broad-Temperature-Range Aqueous Ion Batteries
- Flexible and Wearable Aqueous Ion Batteries
- AI-Driven Design and Optimization of Aqueous Ion Battery Systems
- System Integration and Management of Aqueous Ion Batteries
- Construction of Anode Interfacial Engineering
- Novel Cathode Design

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.
