Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global transition to sustainable and resilient energy systems demands innovations not only in the performance of batteries, fuel cells, and capacitors, but also in how these devices are manufactured, utilized, and ultimately recycled. This Special Issue aims to explore and promote cutting-edge research in the manufacturing and end-of-life management of energy storage and conversion systems.
We welcome original research articles, case studies, and reviews that address technological advancements, process optimization, material recovery, and circular economy strategies for electrochemical energy systems. Special attention will be given to work that supports scalable, environmentally responsible production and recycling methods, bridging the gap between laboratory innovation and industrial application.
This Special Issue will be of interest to researchers, engineers, and policymakers working to enhance the efficiency, sustainability, and circularity of modern energy systems.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced manufacturing techniques for energy storage and conversion systems (batteries, fuel cells, and capacitors);
- Methods for increasing the manufacturability of energy materials;
- Large-scale and scalable manufacturing of energy storage and conversion systems;
- Reduction in energy consumption and carbon footprint in energy system manufacturing;
- Design for disassembly, reuse, and recycling;
- Recovery and reuse of critical raw materials from spent energy devices;
- Lifecycle assessment and circular economy models in energy technologies;
- Machine learning and AI for smart manufacturing, quality control, and process optimization;
- Automation and robotics in energy systems manufacturing and recycling;
- Digital twins and data-driven modeling for energy system lifecycle management;
Industrial case studies and innovations in sustainable supply chains
