Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rapid advances in rechargeable lithium batteries offer unprecedented opportunities for pursuing fundamental studies in interface science, spanning a wide range of material landscapes including functional solid/semi-liquid/liquid electrolytes, anodes, and cathodes. Fundamental understandings of the interface will be the key driver for the continued development and advances in advanced lithium-ion batteries and beyond-lithium-ion battery technologies.
In this Special Issue, we aim to address topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following:
- Anode–solid-state electrolyte interface;
- Anode–liquid electrolyte interface;
- Cathode–solid-state electrolyte interface;
- Cathode–liquid electrolyte interface;
- Metal–solid/liquid electrolyte interface;
- Functional anode/cathode coating design;
- Batteries interfaces sciences (theory, experiments, and characterization).

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.
