Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As electric vehicles continue their rapid global adoption, lithium-ion batteries—the cornerstone energy storage technology—face critical challenges in operational efficiency optimization, lifespan extension, and sustainable lifecycle management. This Special Issue seeks to advance the frontiers of intelligent battery management through innovative integration of computational intelligence, distributed computing architectures, and data-driven analytics. We particularly welcome interdisciplinary studies that synergize artificial intelligence, physics-informed modeling, and advanced data science to achieve transformative breakthroughs in battery reliability, safety, and circular economy implementation.

In this context, we invite researchers from academia and industry to contribute original research articles, reviews, and case studies addressing, but not limited to, the following topics:

  1. Cloud-edge collaborative architectures for battery state estimation and parameter optimization;
  2. Physics-informed neural networks for cross-scale battery modeling;
  3. Transfer learning approaches for cross-chemistry state estimation generalization;
  4. Early fault warning systems based on multi-source data fusion;
  5. LLM-enhanced battery health monitoring and management systems;
  6. Vehicle energy management strategies considering battery aging suppression;
  7. Intelligent sorting and second-life applications of retired batteries.

We welcome contributions from experts in academia, industry, and policymaking to discuss cutting-edge technologies, standardization challenges, and policy implications for lithium-ion battery applications in vehicles.

Accurate prediction of state-of-charge (SoC) is critical to ensure battery performance, extend lifetime and ensure safety. Data-driven methods for SoC prediction are highly adaptable and generalizable. However, the current method of estimating SoC using a single model suffers from the difficulty of accommodating both global variations in the long time domain and local variations in the short time domain, which in turn leads to limited accuracy. Therefore, this paper proposes a dual-model fusion of Transformer and long short-term memory (LSTM) network for SoC estimation. Transformer and LSTM are used to capture the global change features of the battery in the long time domain and the local change features in the short time domain, respectively. First, we employ a single model to obtain separate SoC estimations for the long-term and short-term domains. Then, we fuse these long-term and short-term estimations using a neural network. Finally, we apply Kalman filtering to process the fused data and obtain the final SoC estimation. The proposed method is finally validated under different operating conditions and different temperatures, respectively. The results show that the root mean square error of the fused model is as low as 1.69%. This method can fully combine the advantages of LSTM for short-time sequences and Transformer for long-time sequence capture. The fused model is able to achieve satisfactory estimation accuracy under different temperatures and different working conditions with high accuracy and adaptability. Full article
