Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of new all-solid-state batteries is a rapidly growing research area. The number of articles published annually on this topic almost doubled in five years between 2016 and 2021.
It is generally believed that all-solid-state batteries will be much safer than their liquid electrolyte-based counterparts. Furthermore, the overall amount of the solid electrolyte can be much lower than the liquid one, leading to a higher energy density of the whole assembly.
The main issues preventing the transition from the batteries based on liquid and polymer electrolytes to all-solid-state batteries are relatively low ion conductivity of crystalline electrolytes and slow charge transfer through the electrode-electrolyte interface.
The Special Issue of Crystals is devoted to the recent progress in the development of all-solid-state batteries including but not limited to the development of new electrolyte materials, optimization of the electrode and/or electrolyte microstructure, formation of the optimal electrode-electrolyte interface, the theoretical prediction of new materials for all-solid-state batteries. Both original research articles and reviews are welcome.

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. Crystals 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 2600 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.
