Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Fossil energy shortage, environmental pollution, and unreasonable energy structures restrict sustainable economic and societal development. Research and development characterized by a high energy density and environmentally friendly energy storage equipment have attracted much attention. Electrochemical energy storage technology, key in energy transformation, is widely utilized in various sectors, including new energy vehicles, data centers, and communication base stations. It has become essential equipment for building power systems that promote energy conservation and efficiency. As a vital component of new power systems, it plays a significant role in mitigating the intermittency and instability of renewable energy sources, enhancing systemic efficiency and safety.

This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the theory, design, preparation, and application of all types of energy storage devices.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Electrochemical energy storage technology;
  • All aspects of Li-ion, Na-ion, K-ion, and Zn-ion batteries, among others;
  • All aspects of battery electrodes, electrolyte, separator, binder optimization, etc.;
  • Battery processing technology;
  • Battery applications and recycling;
  • Mechanical energy storage technology;
  • All aspects of compressed air, flywheel, and gravity storage, among others;
  • Electromagnetic energy storage technology;
  • Hydrogen energy storage technology.

The innovation of energy storage technology and its solutions for energetic materials is an important direction in the current energy technology field. Hence, series of tetrazole-based ultra-high-energy-density high-nitrogen heterocyclic power compounds were designed and their energy characteristics and safety performances were evaluated by density functional theory (DFT). The results indicate that the type, number, and position of substituents have a significant effect on the comprehensive performance of these compounds. Research on electronic features shows that mono-substituents on the N atom connecting two tetrazole rings, substituents with more H atoms on the tetrazole ring, and less energetic substituents are beneficial for the stability of compounds. The discussion on energy characteristics and safety performance indicates that compounds B1(N-(1-nitro-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-N-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)nitramide), B7(N’-(1-nitro-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-N’-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)nitric hydrazide), B8(N-(1-(nitroamino)-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-N-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)nitramide), C1(5,5′-(hydrazine-1,1-diyl)bis(1-nitro-1H-tetrazole)), C4(N,N-bis(1-nitro-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)nitramide), and C6(N-(1-amino-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-N-(1-nitro-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)nitramide) possess outstanding comprehensive performance concerning density, heat of formation, detonation heat, detonation velocity and pressure, oxygen balance, and impact sensitivity, and can be screened as candidates for high-energy-density compounds. The results are expected to provide new solutions for the innovation and progress of energy storage technologies in the energetic materials field. Full article
