Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of electrochemical energy storage, encompassing batteries, has witnessed remarkable progress and growth over recent years due to advancements in materials, design, and production techniques. This progress has resulted in greater energy density, longer battery life, and faster charging capabilities. Despite this success, the industry still faces numerous challenges that need to be overcome in order to achieve further growth and wider adoption. A pressing challenge is a demand for higher energy density to accommodate the growing requirement for portable and electric devices, and another challenge is to make batteries safer, more environmentally conscious, and cost-efficient.
New materials are being developed to achieve these goals, including lithium–sulfur batteries, lithium-ion batteries, fuel cells, sodium-ion batteries, solid-state batteries, metal–air batteries, and supercapacitors with improved electrodes and electrolytes. These innovations have the potential to revolutionize the energy storage industry and support the transition to more sustainable energy solutions. Research can be approached through various methods and techniques, including material synthesis and characterization, device fabrication, testing and analytics, modeling and simulation. Effective research on new electrochemical energy storage materials will require an interdisciplinary approach and the integration of various scientific and engineering fields, such as chemistry, physics, materials science, electrical engineering, software engineering, and various other related fields.
This Special Issue aims to create advances the in research and development of new electrochemical energy storage materials. Topics include, but are not limited to, synthesis, characterization, analysis, simulation and application from a perspective of electrochemistry and beyond. Full articles, short communications, and reviews are all welcome.
