D2: Electrochem: Batteries, Fuel Cells, Capacitors
A section of Energies (ISSN 1996-1073).
Section Information
Our growing demand for energy and our understanding of how fossil fuel consumption, global greenhouse gas emissions, and climate change are interconnected make us constantly ask ourselves: what are the alternative solutions? At present, one of the most critical issues facing our modern society is a dual problem: meeting the ever-increasing energy demand while reducing carbon emissions. Responding to these challenges is an important aspect of many research fields, including natural sciences, engineering, and social sciences.
The rapid development of new energy vehicles and the energy storage market has promoted the development of new energy batteries. There are mainly three types of new energy batteries: rechargeable batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors. Electrochem: Batteries, Fuel Cells, Capacitors provides a forum for reporting findings related to synthesis, fabrication, structure, properties, performance, and technological application, in addition to the strategies and policies of energy storage materials and their devices for sustainable energy and development. The “Electrochem: Batteries, Fuel Cells, Capacitors” section welcomes unique and innovative research results, as well as the most recent progress and breakthroughs in electrochemical energy conversion and storage systems and their emerging applications. This section considers full-length articles, short communications, perspectives, and review articles from both experimental and theoretical research.
