Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electric vehicles (EVs) are revolutionizing the transportation sector by offering a clean and sustainable alternative to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. One of the critical components in EVs is the lithium-ion battery, which provides the necessary energy for propulsion. However, the increasing energy density and power demands of modern EVs have raised concerns about the thermal management and safety of these batteries. Effective thermal management systems and accurate prognostics for thermal runaway prevention are essential to ensure the reliable and sustainable operation of EVs.
This Special Issue aims to connect researchers, scientists, and engineers from various disciplines to explore the latest advancements in thermal runaway prognostics and thermal management strategies for lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles. By addressing the challenges associated with battery thermal management, we can enhance the safety, performance, and overall sustainability of EVs.
We welcome submissions that address topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Theoretical studies and numerical simulations of thermal runaway mechanisms in Li-ion batteries;
- Advancements and applications of thermal runaway prognostics and fault diagnosis techniques;
- Design, optimization, and validation of thermal management strategies for Li-ion batteries;
- Application of novel materials in thermal management of Li-ion batteries;
- Case studies and analysis of thermal runaway incidents in electric vehicles;
- Safety assessment and standards development for thermal runaway prognostics and thermal management of Li-ion batteries;
- Fast-charging techniques of Li-ion batteries while guaranteeing the safety of batteries;
- Battery heating techniques in low-temperature cases.
We encourage researchers to submit original research articles, review papers, case studies, and technical reports, fostering the advancement of thermal runaway prognostics and thermal management for Li-ion batteries in electric vehicles.

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
