Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Supercapacitors/Batteries are electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices known for their immense power densities and operational lifetimes. New stringent environmental policies entail a fast-growing energy demand from renewable energy sources to date. Electrochemical supercapacitor energy sources currently represent the most widespread renewable sources, although they have an intermittent and fluctuating behavior. Supercapacitors/Batteries find them readily applicable in portable electronics, automobile vehicles, stationary power stations and backup power supplies, etc. However, the major challenge for supercapacitors is their insufficient specific capacity/capacitance, which limits their more wide applications. In recent years, there is tremendous effort focusing on the development of new and cost-effective electrodes and electrolyte materials as well as electrode configuration to improve the specific capacity/capacitance density of the next generation of supercapacitors. At present, with the continuous improvement of electrochemical energy storage technologies, the increasingly mature market model and the rapid expansion of application scale, the era of energy revolution supported by energy storage technologies has quietly arrived. Therefore, development of electrochemical energy storage technologies is an indivisible part of resolving the energy crisis problem in the future. In order to benchmark the state of research in this area at this time, Energies invites for a special issue dedicated to recent development in Supercapacitors/Batteries. Topics on any Supercapacitors/Batteries-related aspects are encouraged with specific attention to the following topics of electrical double layer capacitors (EDLCs), Pseudocapacitors (PCs), and hybrid capacitors (HCs), focusing on state-of the-art progresses, developments and new trends:Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to: New configuration for hybrid capacitors Supercapacitor technologies, processes and materials; Electrode materials development Special devices for unconventional applications or harsh environments; Hybrid and lithium-ion capacitors; Experimental techniques for testing, characterization, monitoring and diagnosis of supercapacitors; Approaches and tools for supercapacitor modeling and simulation; Electrolytes development; Capacitor chargers and management systems; Cyclability and self-discharge analysis; Power electronics and converters for supercapacitors interfacing; Systems and applications exploiting supercapacitors, such as energy storage, uninterruptible power supplies, smart grids, advanced transportation, renewable sources and clean energies; Supercapacitor integration and combinations with other energy storage solutions; Electrical vehicles, machines, starters and drives supported by supercapacitors; Modeling with new synthesis tecknologies on the electrodes/electrolytes and system; Energy harvesting and recovery, including regenerative braking; System integration and coupling of supercapacitors to fuel cells and batteries; Reliability and safety of supercapacitors and related systems; Novel/efficient applications including portable devices, back-up powers, automobiles.
