About this Research Topic
The ever-increasing environmental problems and energy challenges have called urgent demand for utilizing green, efficient and sustainable energies, thus promoting the development of new technologies associated with electrochemical energy devices. Among the various electrochemical technologies, fuel cells and Li/Na/K/Zn/Mg ion/air batteries as advanced power sources have evoked a plethora of research owing to their attractive features, including high energy density, long cycle life, and good rate capability.
In this Research Topic, we aim to collect research work that will stimulate further research activities and improve our understanding of the key scientific and technological problems in electrochemical energy devices.
We cordially invite researchers to contribute Original Research, Review, Mini-Review and Perspective articles. We are particularly interested in articles describing advanced technologies for electrochemical energy devices (fuel cells, Li/Na/K/Zn/Mg ion batteries, metal-air batteries, and so on). Potential themes include, but not limited to:
• Advanced technologies for Li/Na/K/Zn/Mg-ion batteries.
• Surface-defect-rich nanostructured electrode materials for enhanced oxygen reduction and evolution in metal-air batteries and fuel cells.
• High-conductivity and stable electrolytes (liquid or solid state) for rechargeable batteries.
• Theoretical and experimental study on fuel cells, such as solid oxide fuel cells, protonic ceramic fuel cells, proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) and so on.
• 3D microstructure reconstruction and multiphysics coupling analyzing technologies for porous electrodes.
• 3D large scale simulating technologies and structure designing technology for various fuel cell stack.
