Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Conventional Li-ion battery technology cannot satisfy the increasing demands for greater energy density and safety. Solid-state batteries (SSB) can offer enhanced safety features, owing to the replacement of an organic liquid electrolyte with a safer and more reliable inorganic solid electrolyte (SE), which offers a more simple battery design with improved safety and durability. Solid electrolytes (SEs) are widely believed to be compatible with metallic anodes for high-energy batteries due to their significant mechanical strength and high ionic transference number. However, the wide application of Li-metal solid-state batteries can be realized only if several scientific and engineering obstacles are addressed, including the issues of (electro)chemical stability and interfacial contact loss, the penetration of the Li filament, and the requirement of a high stack pressure.

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. Micromachines 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 2100 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
