Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, titled “New Advances in Renewable Energy and Sustainable Energy Storage Systems”, focuses on the development of energy sources and technologies that store energy for consistent and reliable use. As the global shift towards sustainable energy accelerates, integrating renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) into existing grids poses significant challenges. These challenges include variability, intermittency, and the need for substantial storage capacity to ensure a stable energy supply.

This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements, innovative solutions, and practical implementations of energy storage systems that can effectively address these challenges. Topics of interest include battery technologies, thermal storage, pumped hydro storage, and emerging technologies. Additionally, the Special Issue will cover the economic, environmental, and policy aspects of deploying these systems on a large scale.

The formation of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) directly affects the properties of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer, which in turn affects cell performance, lifetime, and safety. Therefore, measurement of SEI properties during formation is a topic of great interest for LIB manufacturing. EIS has previously been applied to half-cell and three-electrode configurations for this purpose; however, these results have been questioned due to the potential non-linearity of the EIS measurement. Additionally, the limited application of the method to half cells and three-electrode cells limits the application of this method to production lines, where only two-electrode full cells are manufactured. In this work, we compare dynamic and steady-state EIS measurements during the formation cycling of NMC532/graphite coin cells. DRT analysis is used to distinguish the time constants of the two electrodes for equivalent circuit modeling. The main findings of this work are that dynamic EIS (DEIS) measurements only significantly affect the frequency response below ~30 Hz. Additionally, time constants and effective capacitance are unaffected by DEIS. We conclude that DEIS remains a promising technique for studying SEI formation in a two-electrode configuration and may be applicable on production lines for rapid diagnostics or even tracking SEI growth in real time.
