Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The performance, safety, and durability of energy storage systems are dominated by strongly coupled electrochemical, chemical, mechanical, and thermal processes. Understanding and controlling these multiphysics interactions is critical for the rational design of next-generation devices, including lithium metal all-solid-state batteries and lithium-ion batteries.
This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances in the modeling, simulation, and experimental characterization of electro-chemo-mechanical processes across multiple time and length scales. Particular emphasis will be placed on the predictive power of multiphysics and multiscale simulation methods, as well as on their uses for the development of new materials, architectures, and operating strategies.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Multiphysics and multiscale modeling of electro-chemo-mechanical interactions in batteries and related systems;
- Computational studies of failure mechanisms, including fracture, dendrite growth, interfacial instabilities, and thermal runaway;
- Simulation-driven strategies for enabling fast charging, longer cycle life, and enhanced safety;
- Integration of data-driven methods and advanced characterization techniques with simulation frameworks.

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
