Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The electrochemical properties and internal reactions of Li-lithium batteries are highly sensitive to operating temperatures. Inappropriate temperature conditions can result in a sharp rise in battery temperature, accelerating internal chemical reactions. Moreover, this can lead to thermal runaway, compromising the reliability and safety of electrical vehicle/ship/airplane battery packs and battery energy storage systems, thereby causing a significant loss of life and property. Additionally, temperature differences in the thermal field distribution between cell–module–pack configurations can reduce the available capacity, shorten the cycle life, and increase the risk of fire. Therefore, the implementation of battery thermal management strategies holds significant theoretical value and provides application guidance for the safe and reliable operation of battery systems; these strategies include cooling/heating methods, which ensure uniformity in the thermal–electrical field, and early warning systems that monitor behavior and offer protection against thermal hazards.

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.
