Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of high-energy-density thin-film batteries is critical to meet the ever-growing energy demand for a wide range of applications: in particular, wearables and IoT devices. In addition, the solutions proposed to date present limitations on several aspects of their electrochemical performance, despite the recently observed advances. Efforts have been devoted to the implementation of new approaches at different levels: (i) the selection of electrode and electrolyte materials; and (ii) the optimization of ion transport phenomena in volume and at the interfaces through (iii) revisiting the architecture of the component to (iv) develop power management circuits.
In this Special Issue, we seek contributions that help increase our understanding about the physical and chemical phenomena that govern the observed limitations, and innovative solutions to bridge the gap between electrochemical performance and application needs.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- The elaboration and characterization of thin-film materials.
- Innovative characterization methods, including in situ/operando techniques.
- Thin-film batteries electrochemical characterization methods.
- Thin-film batteries reliability studies and associated predictive models.
- High-volume manufacturing solutions.
- The multiphysics modeling of thin-film batteries.
- Integrated power management circuits.
- Bioresorbable thin-film batteries.

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. Batteries 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 2700 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.
