Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue on ‘Lithium-Ion Batteries: Manufacturing Innovation, Materials Processing, Degradation Modes and Performance Prediction’ aims to highlight the latest advances in battery science and technology. It brings together research focused on innovative manufacturing methods, novel materials development, and improved approaches for predicting performance failures and degradation mechanisms. As the global demand for efficient and sustainable energy storage continues to grow, lithium-ion battery research has taken centre stage, driving both academic inquiry and industrial application.

This Special Issue serves as a multidisciplinary platform that bridges fundamental studies with practical industrialisation strategies. By integrating perspectives from chemistry, materials science, engineering, and data-driven modelling, it provides a unique opportunity for researchers, engineers, and industry experts to share novel findings and exchange ideas. The collection seeks to collaborate and accelerate the development of next-generation lithium-ion batteries that can meet the challenges of reliability, scalability, and sustainability.

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.
