Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, the development of middle- or large-scale lithium-ion batteries has been accelerated for use in automotive propulsion and stationary load-leveling for intermittent power generation from solar or wind energy. However, a larger battery size creates more serious safety issues; one of the main reasons being the increased amount of flammable organic liquid electrolytes.
All-solid-state lithium-ion batteries with a non-flammable inorganic lithium-ion conductor as a solid electrolyte are expected to be one of the next generations of energy storage devices because of their high energy density, high safety, and excellent cycle stability. The solid electrolyte materials should possess not only high conductivity but also chemical stability against electrode materials, air, and moisture. Oxide-based, solid electrolytes have rather lower conductivity and poor plasticity compared to sulfide-based electrolytes, but they have other advantages such as their chemical stability and ease of handling. However, processing for the solid–solid interface between electrode materials and the oxide solid electrolyte still remain challenging issues.
This Special Issue is focused on the present status of R&D related to the materials and processing of oxide-based all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries, including, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Novel processing for oxide-based solid electrolytes
- Ionic conducting properties for oxide-solid electrolytes
- Processing for the interface between electrodes and solid electrolytes
- Bulk-type solid-state batteries
- Thin film solid-state batteries
- Stability of solid electrolytes against electrode materials
- Challenges in the use of Li metal anodes
All authors with expertise in these topics are cordially invited to submit their manuscripts to Materials. Noteworthy and highly original research papers and review articles covering the current state of the art 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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
