Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There is a growing interest on battery manufacturing processes as more and more battery (giga)factories are to be built all over the world in the near future. Such a high battery manufacturing portfolio will definitely pave the way for electrification of future. A reliable, low-cost, best performant and secured value chain are envisioned in the battery manufacturing processes towards 2040 and beyond.
In this Special Issue, we are looking for contributions addressing the challenges with a particular focus on cell assembly & manufacturing methodologies with a chemistry-neutral approach. Latest advances on battery materials allowing to boost large-scale battery performance, scale-up cell manufacturing, smart manufacturing methodologies and/or novel battery machineries in lithium and post lithium systems are highly encouraged. Industry 4.0 tools during cell manufacturing such as 3D printing are also highly welcome.
Experimental and\or theoretical contributions are welcome in lab-scale or pilot-scale research with a particular focus on novel battery manufacturing routes. Therefore, submissions focusing only material development will be considered out of scope. Sustainable and safe processing during battery recycling is also considered a valuable contribution to the Special Issue. Processing, design and valorization of active materials, and efficient recovery of battery components are welcome. However, theoretical work without experimental validation will be considered out of scope.

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.
