Thermal-Related Design, Application, and Optimization of Fuel Cells and Batteries

Dear Colleagues,

The challenges in energy constraints, environmental deterioration, and climate change have accelerated the development of low-carbon and decarbonized technologies in many countries. The thermal-related effect is the key to the successful application of these technologies as it significantly affects the capital and the operating costs. In the process of energy conversion, the management of heat source terms (generation, consumption, transfer and dissipation) is the key to achieve a high energy efficiency and to ensure a stable long-term operation.

This Topic aims to provide a collection of the latest research and findings in the field of thermal effects on advanced energy conversion and storage technologies. Both research and review papers are welcome. Potential research topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Thermal management of fuel cell, electrolyzer, and batteries;
• Thermochemical energy storage;
• Thermomechanical fatigue failure of energy devices;
• Waste heat utilization.
