Advancements in Energy Storage Technologies

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.
