Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is a key strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable transportation. The development of sustainable battery technology is crucial for the widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). In recent years, there has been significant progress in the design and performance of batteries, but there are still many challenges that need to be addressed to make EVs more practical and affordable for consumers, including the aspects of range, cost, charge, and battery management.
This Special Issue aims to explore the sustainable development of battery technology for promoting EVs. We invite contributions on a range of topics related to sustainable battery technology, including but not limited to:
- Battery materials and design for improved performance and sustainability;
- Innovative AC charge, DC fast charge and regenerative charge methods and applications;
- Advanced battery management systems for improved performance, safety, and longevity;
- Life-cycle analysis of batteries to assess their environmental impact;
- Recycling and second-life applications of batteries to reduce waste and improve resource efficiency;
- Government policies and regulations to promote the sustainable development of battery technology and EVs.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, and perspectives on these and related topics. Manuscripts should be submitted online through the journal’s website following the author guidelines. All submissions will be subject to a rigorous peer-review process to ensure high-quality scientific content.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
