Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Transportation and energy storage electrification are considered the most promising ways to achieve the energy revolution and carbon neutralization worldwide. Developing clean energy devices has been investigated as the most critical energy storage technology to support all modes of electrified transportation and energy storage, such as electric vehicles, electric trains, electric ships, and electric aircraft, as well as energy storage stations. The ever-increasing demands of all-weather applications, long lifespan, high energy density, fast charging, low cost, and high safety in electrified transportation are calling for better batteries, fuel cells, and other devices. Appropriate energy storage device design is increasingly regarded as a necessary strategy to enhance next-generation power/energy supply, considering its potential advantages of low cost, environmental friendliness, high energy/power density, intrinsic safety, long service life, and fast-charging capability. Moreover, investigating the failure mechanism in batteries leads to the design of advanced energy storage devices, revolutionizing the existing manufacturing process. Furthermore, failure diagnosis is still far from meeting the standards of mass production due to several technical issues, including limited information, low calculation speed, and inefficient algorithm structures. Therefore, artificial intelligence-based further diagnosis is necessary to address the above issues. This Special Issue aims to reveal the failure mechanisms of energy storage devices, enhancing their overall performance from power, lifespan, and safety perspectives, unlocking artificial intelligence-based diagnosis methods, and providing guidance for the design of next-generation clean energy storage devices.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
