Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As a result of fossil fuel depletion and environmental pollution, the societal transition towards a carbon-free energy model is of paramount importance. Rechargeable batteries, which enable the mutual conversion between chemical energy and electricity, offer the benefit of the efficient use of renewable energy and facilitate our daily lives.
However, with the increasing growth of modern society, no single battery type can fulfill every application scenario, and there is a strong demand to explore new battery types to cater to diverse energy demands, from portable electronics to electric vehicles and grid storage.
This Special Issue focuses on current developments in rechargeable batteries, such as non-aqueous batteries, aqueous batteries, solid-state batteries, monovalent-ion batteries, and multivalent-ion batteries.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Electrode and electrolyte materials;
- Auxiliary materials;
- Electrode/electrolyte interfaces;
- Characterization techniques and electrochemical measurements;
- DFT calculations;
- Battery failure diagnosis;
- Battery configuration design.

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.
