Special Issue Information

The ever-increasing demand for clean energy and green environment has promoted energy storage materials as one of the hottest research areas. Reliable energy storage devices are critical to underpinning sustainable electronics, artificial intelligence, electric vehicles and smart grids. Therein, as the major component, the electrode materials must be of appropriate capacity, high efficiency, durable, low-cost and scalable. Although some encouraging results have been achieved in recent years, the growing requirement for energy storage is not yet being met.

This special issue focuses on new ideas in the development of novel electrode materials for advanced energy storage technology, including structure and composition design, surface modification, interface optimization, and mechanism exploration. Areas of interest include but are not limited to lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, potassium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, etc. Both Original Research and Review articles are welcome.

Keywords: Lithium-ion batteries; Sodium-ion batteries; Potassium-ion batteries; Supercapacitors; Electrode material design; Reaction mechanism
