Recent Advances in Lithium-Ion Battery Safety and Aging Issues for Electric Vehicles

Dear Colleagues,

The continuous development of automobile electrification is of great significance to achieve carbon neutrality in the transportation field. Recently, the development of high-energy-density, large-scale, and fast charging of automotive power batteries has increased people's concerns about battery safety and aging. These two issues have been crucial to the normal use of electric vehicles under complex working conditions for several years. Additionally, retired batteries have become the focus of academic and industrial attention, and it is becoming an increasingly important topic to evaluate their safety and aging state to determine their residual values.

This Special Issue is a dedicated outlet for novel and original research on all aspects of recent advances in lithium-ion battery safety and aging issues for electric vehicles, including experiment, characterization, mechanism, modeling, algorithm, system, etc. In particular, we invite papers focusing on the gap between basic research and practical application to accelerate EV development.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. World Electric Vehicle Journal 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 1400 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.
