Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Facing the challenges of global climate change, environmental pollution, and exhausting fossil fuel resources, renewable and sustainable energy storage systems are now in demand. It is crucial for all countries to increase the availability of delivering affordable, reliable and clean electricity for everyone.

Renewable energy storage, such as batteries, can be applied to alternative electricity generation systems (photovoltaic, wind or hydropower systems). These electrical energy storage systems allow energy to be stored when available and released to the grid when needed.

Because of their long cycle life, high energy density and reliability, lithium-ion batteries have a wide range of applications in the fields of electronics, electric vehicles and energy storage systems. However, conventional lithium-ion batteries fail to meet some of the performance, cost, and scaling targets required for large-scale applications such as electrified transportation and grids.

Recently, the tremendous efforts have been devoted to the improvement of lithium-ion batteries. Science and technology advances may also enable revolutionary new battery systems. Multidisciplinary approaches including electrochemistry, materials engineering, dynamic modeling, and systems/controls engineering will lead the future development of next-generation batteries.

We welcome contributions from researchers and experts working in the field of lithium-ion batteries and beyond.

Topics of interest may include, but are not limited to:

  • Lithium-ion batteries and beyond;
  • Organic and inorganic electrode materials or components for batteries;
  • Machine learning for atomic-scale modeling and electrode prediction;
  • Advanced in situ characterization techniques for real-time analysis of electrodes;
  • Battery modeling, simulation, management and application;
  • Prognostics and life-cycle evaluation for the health of batteries;
  • Reliability of battery components for energy storage applications;
  • Multidisciplinary approach for developing novel batteries;
  • Control and estimation algorithms for battery systems.

Bismuth-based anodes are promising for lithium-ion batteries owing to their high theoretical capacity, garnering significant attention in recent decades. Despite its intrinsic advantages, this anode material has the shortcoming of excessive volume expansion during the charging and discharging processes, which significantly reduces the cycling stability. In this work, a nitrogen-doped carbon-coated Bi2Se3−xTex composite (Bi2Se3−xTex@NC) with excellent electrochemical properties was synthesized by the solvothermal method followed by heat treatment. Benefiting from its unique structure and Te-doping properties, the nitrogen-doped carbon-coated Bi2Se3−xTex composite maintains a discharge specific capacity of 464.0 mAh g−1 after 60 cycles at a current density of 0.1 A g−1. This research presents an efficient approach for the preparation of nitrogen-doped carbon-coated anode materials and a fresh perspective on battery electrode material design. Full article

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have a wide range of applications in different fields, starting with electronics and energy storage systems. The potential of LIBs in the transportation sector is high, especially for electric vehicles (EVs). This study aims to investigate the efficiency and effectiveness of, and justification for, the application of LIBs in the field of transport, primarily in EVs. The research focuses on single and multi-criteria evaluations of the efficiency of LIBs. Previous studies in which LIBs were evaluated using cost–benefit analysis (CBA) and multi-criteria decision-making methods (MCDM) were analysed. An electronic literature search of the Web of Science, Scopus, and other relevant databases was performed. The literature was searched using the keywords: “lithium-ion batteries”; “multi-criteria decision-making”; “cost-benefit analysis”; “energy storage”; “vehicles”; “PROMETHEE” (or other MCDM method)”. A total of 40 scientific articles concerning the application of CBA (of which are 20%) and MCDM methods between 1997 and 2023, worldwide, were analysed. The results show multiple applications of both CBA and MCDM methods. The main findings of the areas of application were summarised and future research was discussed. Full article
