Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Lithium-ion batteries are a promising technology for achieving the goal of reaching net zero. Some of the challenges currently associated with batteries, such as lifetime and safety, are very dependent on operating temperature. A proper pack design and thermal management system can overcome some of these barriers and ensure that batteries operate safely.

In this Special Issue, we are looking to collect contributions in the following subject areas:

  • Multi-physics modelling of batteries (including the temperature impact);
  • Impact of battery internal structure on heat generation;
  • Impact of battery ageing on heat generation;
  • Impact of battery ageing on battery safety;
  • Thermal runaway modelling of a single cell or battery pack;
  • Battery pack design for mitigating/delaying thermal propagation;
  • Methodologies for manufacturing of faulty cells to trigger thermal runaway;
  • Battery heat release rate during thermal runaway for different chemistries/capacities/form factors;
  • Novel thermal management technologies specially for fast charging/ sever climate conditions (very cold/hot);
  • Battery management system for optimal battery performance;
  • Energy harvesting from battery packs.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
