Artificial Intelligence and Batteries: AI-Powered Innovations in Battery Technology: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, including machine learning, neural networks, and optimization algorithms, are being leveraged to address key challenges in battery technology, and this Special Issue explores the intersection of AI and batteries, aiming to enhance battery performance, lifespan, and safety. By integrating AI, advancements are made in battery efficiency, charging strategies, and energy storage applications across various sectors, including electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and portable electronics. The Special Issue delves into the synergy between AI methodologies and battery research, encouraging innovation and propelling the evolution of smart, sustainable energy solutions. The research areas include battery monitoring, prediction, balancing, maintenance, fault detection, functional safety, and optimization of battery control and management, all empowered by AI support.

This Special Issue aims to gather together high-quality paper reviews and research articles within the topic of AI and battery research and applications. We encourage researchers from various fields within the journal’s scope to contribute their papers highlighting the latest research and developments in their research field or to invite relevant experts and colleagues to do so. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

• State-of-the-art technologies and new developments for battery applications;
• Advances in AI and battery research and applications;
• Artificial intelligence in battery management and control;
• Advanced battery state estimation: state-of-charge (SOH), state-of-health (SOH), state-of-power (SOP), state-of-function (SOF), remaining discharge energy (RDE), degradation;
• Battery diagnostic and prognostic functions;
• Battery balancing control features, topologies, and integration;
• Advances in battery system thermal management;
• Functional safety in batteries.
