Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy storage has become one of the most important research areas in the 21st century, owing to the fast and significant development in technology. Approximately more than 30 years ago, when Sony Co. commercialized the world’s first lithium-ion battery (LIB), the subsequent revolutionization of portable electronics led to an explosive increase in research interest thereafter. Demand for high-performance rechargeable batteries has become very tangible and ubiquitous in recent years. Although the growth of battery research was significant, the following objectives of the research have not deviated over time: to increase cycle stability, minimize the weight and size of batteries, and maintain safety, while reducing costs.
This Special Issue highlights the major advances and recent developments in energy storage systems. We call for outstanding manuscripts, including reviews and original research articles, to be submitted to the open access journal Micromachines (ISSN 2072-666X). The major scope of this Special Issue will cover research areas in high-energy, long cycle life and fast-charging batteries, battery safety and management, as well as beyond lithium-ion battery technologies. Research topics may include (1) next-generation anode materials; (2) advanced Ni-rich (Co free) cathode materials with high energy and a long cycle life; (3) electrolytes and additives; (4) fast-charging batteries; (5) battery material recycling; (6) battery safety and management; (7) beyond lithium-ion batteries (Na, K, etc.)
