Materials for Energy Harvesting and Storage

Dear Colleagues,

As the global air pollution and energy crisis grows more severe by the day, it is particularly important to increase the development and utilization of clean energy. Energy conversion and storage technology has become the main way to solve energy and environmental problems. Energy conversion technology can convert renewable resources (solar energy, wind energy, biomass energy, geothermal energy, water energy) into energy convenient for people to use, such as hydrogen energy and electric energy. At present, the main energy collection and storage devices include solar cells, lithium batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells. This topic mainly discusses the integrated design, preparation, structure, and performance regulation of energy collection and storage materials. The purpose of this topic is to attract the latest progress in the field of energy harvesting and storage technologies and to integrate scholars in various fields. The topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to:

1. Rechargeable batteries

2. Flexible/organic materials for energy harvesting and storage

3. Energy storage at the micro-/nanoscale

4. Energy-storage-related simulations and predications

5. Energy storage and conversion strategies and policy

6. Other energy storage and conversion paradigms.
