Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, lithium-ion batteries have become the dominant energy storage device, crossing multiple areas from portable electronic devices to electric vehicles and even grid-scale uninterruptible power supply. Alongside the evolution of battery technology, which has enabled increasingly high energy densities, the safety and reliability of the battery system is paramount. The numerous reports of battery fire or explosion incidents every year highlight the necessity of understanding the potential battery failures and related hazards. In addition, novel battery technologies, especially advanced battery materials (both internal and external battery materials), that can detect and respond to battery failures at the early stage are desired.
Research on internal battery materials includes the improvement of positive and negative electrode materials, the enhancement of separators, the use of non-flammable electrolytes, flame-retardant additives and overcharge protection additives, which help to improve battery safety and prevent electrochemical and thermal abuse. Research on external materials to enhance battery safety includes improving the materials for battery thermal management systems and battery protection mechanisms. Understanding battery behavior during failures and the response of novel safety-related materials for alleviating battery hazards will help manufacturers create reliable products and assist legislative authorities in devising up-to-date regulations or standards to ensure battery safety. This Special Issue on “Advances in materials for detecting and responding to hazards in lithium-ion batteries” may become a status report summarizing the progress achieved in the last five years.

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.
