Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, lithium ion batteries (LiBs) have been an indispensable part of our lives. Since LiBs offer high energy, high power and long cycle life compared with other commercialized batteries, most of the portable devices and electric vehicles use LiBs as a power supply. However, the limited capacity of lithium ion-based systems makes it difficult to meet the increasing demands for high-energy batteries. Recently, lithium metal-based batteries have been extensively studied since lithium metal has extremely high theoretical capacity (3860 mAh g-1) and low electrochemical reaction potential (-3.04 V vs. SHE). However, safety problems originated from the non-uniform dendritic lithium deposition impede its practical application. Even though much effort has been devoted to identifying the mechanism of the lithium deposition behavior, still many challenges derived by lithium dendrite formation remain unsolved. Therefore, this special issue is designed to focus on an improved understanding of lithium deposition behavior. Researchers are invited to submit their original research in addition to review and perspective articles for this special issue. Potential topics include but are not limited to the fundamental study, synthesis, and analysis for the lithium metal-base 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 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.
