Advanced Materials for Energy Storage: Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications
This special issue belongs to the section “Energy Materials“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on “Advanced Materials for Energy Storage: Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications” aims to explore the latest developments in cutting-edge energy storage materials. It covers the synthesis and processing techniques of novel materials such as high-performance lithium-ion batteries, solid-state batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, zinc-ion batteries, and supercapacitors. Additionally, it delves into advanced characterization methods to reveal the structural and performance features of these materials. The application prospects of the materials in renewable energy storage, electric vehicles, and portable electronics are also a key focus. Overall, this Special Issue provides valuable insights for researchers in the field of energy storage, promoting the development of advanced energy storage materials.
