Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in battery research have been driven by innovations in materials, cell architectures, and scalable manufacturing methods. As the demand for high‐energy‐density, fast‐charging, safe, and cost‐effective energy storage grows, researchers worldwide are exploring novel chemistries (e.g., solid‐state, Li–S, Na‐ion, Mg‐ion), advanced electrode/electrolyte materials, and optimized production techniques. This special issue "Design of Next-Generation Batteries: Materials, Cell Performance and Production Processes" in Processes seeks high‐quality original research and review articles that address the latest breakthroughs in battery materials, performance optimization, and manufacturing processes. We warmly invite original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and insightful perspective pieces addressing, but not limited to, the following areas:
- Advanced Electrode Materials and Architectures
- Next‐Generation Electrolytes and Solid Electrolyte Interfaces (SEI/CEI)
- Cell Performance, Durability, and Safety
- Scale‐Up and Manufacturing Processes
- Computational Modeling (e.g., DFT)

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.
