Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid advancement of renewable energy systems and electrified transportation has intensified the demand for reliable, efficient, and sustainable energy storage solutions. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), a cornerstone of modern energy storage, require precise health monitoring and accurate lifetime prediction to ensure safety, longevity, and economic viability. However, the inherent complexity of battery degradation mechanisms—spanning electrochemical dynamics, material aging, and operational variability—poses significant challenges for traditional modeling approaches. This Special Issue aims to explore cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) methodologies that address these challenges, enabling breakthroughs in battery health management and prognostics.

This Special Issue is open to receiving the latest research on theoretical, methodological, and experimental advances in artificial intelligence for battery health monitoring and lifetime prediction. Topics of interest for this publication include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • The multi-sensory data analysis of batteries;
  • Accurate battery state-of-charge estimation approaches;
  • Model-based and data-driven battery state-of-health estimation approaches;
  • The prediction of remaining useful battery life and life extension approaches;
  • Intelligent approaches to battery health monitoring, diagnosis, and decisions;
  • AI-based applications in battery management systems.

Batteries’ state-of-health (SOH) estimation has attracted appealing attention in energy industrial systems. In conventional data-driven methods, the lack of target data and different source data can also lead to poor model training effect. To tackle this problem, this paper combines the instance-based transfer (ITL) and interpretable self-attention mechanism (SAM) to integrate the fitting ability of long short-term memory (LSTM), which can improve the SOH estimation performance. ITL re-weights the temporal instance of a training set to give more impact of target-like data, which can relax the independent and identical distribution (IID) assumption. SAM method can enhance the estimation performance by re-weighting the spatial features, and be interpreted by detailed visualization. During the model training, the pre-trained multi-layer LSTM model is fine-tuned by target data to make full use of target information. The proposed method has outperformed other compared algorithms in transfer tasks, and has tested in real-world cross-domain conditions datasets. Full article

The accurate estimation of the state of health (SOH) of lithium-ion batteries is critical for ensuring the safety, reliability, and efficiency of modern energy storage systems. Traditional model-based and data-driven methods often struggle to capture complex spatiotemporal degradation patterns, leading to reduced accuracy and robustness. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a novel dynamic graph pruning neural network with self-attention mechanism (DynaGPNN-SAM) for SOH estimation. The method transforms sequential battery features into graph-structured representations, enabling the explicit modeling of spatial dependencies among operational variables. A self-attention-guided pruning strategy is introduced to dynamically preserve informative nodes while filtering redundant ones, thereby enhancing interpretability and computational efficiency. The framework is validated on the NASA lithium-ion battery dataset, with extensive experiments and ablation studies demonstrating superior performance compared to conventional approaches. Results show that DynaGPNN-SAM achieves lower root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE) values across multiple batteries, particularly excelling during rapid degradation phases. Overall, the proposed approach provides an accurate, robust, and scalable solution for real-world battery management systems. Full article
