SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

You are invited to submit original abstracts on related scientific topics at the 4th International Symposium on Lithium Battery Fire Safety (ISLBFS 2025). The deadline of abstract submission is 15 March 2025. Authors with an accepted abstract will be invited to submit an extended abstract (up to three pages) or a full paper with a deadline of 15 July 2025. See Call-for-paper (version 3 Dec 2024).

The extended abstract and full paper will be peer-reviewed. The accepted ones will be included in the Symposium Proceedings and invited to give an oral or poster presentation. Conference participants will receive the proceedings in electronic format, and access to the file on the platform will be granted.

Full papers with good review feedback will be invited for publication in the special issues of Fire Technology and Process Safety and Environmental Protection. These journals are indexed in Scopus and Web of Science. Please see the special issues of previous symposiums: 1st ISLBFS in FT, 2nd ISLBFS in FT, 3rd ISLBFS in FT (in press) and PSEP (in press).

Prizes and Awards: The symposium Technical Program Committee will award prizes for the Best Papers and the Best Oral and Poster Presentations at the symposium.
