Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, energy storage systems have become urgently needed to improve power reliability and quality as well as taking full advantage of the high penetration of renewable energy sources. The need to develop energy storage systems with low costs, low risks, high round-trip efficiency and a long cycle life is recognized as an urgent priority. The development of energy storage and applications can contribute to the advances in novel materials with designed morphologies and structures, advanced characterization techniques, modern modelling tools and developed new-type energy storage devices. In addition, the growing studies on energy storage and applications can push forward the rapid development of mobile applications, in particular the development of electric vehicles as an alternative to fossil-fuel-powered transportation.

This Special Issue aims to present the most advances related to the design, fabrication, characterization, modelling, application and improvement of energy storage systems.

Topic of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Strategies and policies of energy storage materials;
  • Batteries, fuel cells, capacitors;
  • Micro- and nanoenergy conversion systems;
  • New-type energy storage devices;
  • Advanced modelling methods for energy storage systems;
  • Advanced pretreatment methods of spent energy storage devices;
  • Battery safety.

As one of the core components of electric vehicles, Li-ion batteries (LIBs) have attracted intensive attention due to their high energy density and good long-term cycling stability. However, some abuse conditions inevitably occur during battery operation, resulting in safety accidents such as the thermal runaway (TR) of LIBs. Therefore, the efficient and appropriate thermal insulation material design is crucial for LIB packs to effectively reduce or even inhibit the spread of TR. Based on it, in this review, we present the principle and influences of TR to provide the necessity of battery thermal management and thermal insulating materials. Then, we deeply discuss and compare the two kinds of representative thermal insulating materials: phase change thermal insulating materials and barrier-type thermal insulating materials. Their properties, synthesis methods, and modification means are investigated to provide some guidance for the future application of high-performance thermal insulating materials in the field of LIBs.
