Batteries: 10th Anniversary

Dear Colleagues,

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Batteries, we are pleased to announce a Special Issue dedicated to the latest advancements in energy storage technologies. Over the years, Batteries has been at the forefront of publishing cutting-edge research on battery materials, technologies, and applications. This Special Issue aims to highlight recent breakthroughs, emerging trends, and future directions in the field of energy storage.

We invite researchers to contribute original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that address key challenges and opportunities in battery science and technology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Advanced battery materials and interfaces: novel electrode materials, electrolytes, and separators for lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and beyond.
• Next-generation batteries: solid-state batteries, lithium–sulfur batteries, metal–air batteries, flow batteries, supercapacitors, and other emerging technologies.
• Battery safety, diagnostics, and management: thermal management, failure analysis, aging, degradation, and state-of-health monitoring.
• Batteries systems and applications: high-energy-density battery packs, fast-charging technologies, battery management systems, electric vehicles, grid storage, portable electronics, and renewable energy integration.
• Battery manufacturing, recycling, and sustainability: sustainable production methods, recycling processes, and lifecycle analysis (LCA) and eco-design strategies.

This Special Issue will provide a platform for researchers to share their insights and contribute to the ongoing evolution of battery technologies. We look forward to receiving your submissions and celebrating the remarkable progress in this dynamic field.

Guest Editor

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. 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.
