The rapid evolution of energy systems and their profound impact on the environment has brought forth a pressing need to accelerate the development of sustainable solutions. Within this Research Topic, we will explore a wide range of topics and research areas that contribute to this transition, with a focus on three key pillars. This Research Topic will delve into innovative materials and nanotechnologies designed for efficient energy conversion and storage. Contributions may include research on novel photovoltaic materials, advanced battery chemistries, and energy-efficient materials for fuel cells and energy storage systems. We will examine how these materials can enhance energy efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of energy production and storage. Additionally, computational research and material simulation play key roles in developing new materials and understanding the atomic mechanism of energy processes. Exploring the development of these advanced technologies will help to rapidly develop new energy storage materials. Additionally, this Research Topic will focus on recycling methods and sustainable practices for end-of-life energy components and materials. Contributions may include research on recycling lithium-ion batteries, e-waste, and strategies for achieving a circular economy in the energy sector.
Researchers, scientists, and experts in the fields of energy, environment, and materials science are encouraged to submit their cutting-edge research to this Research Topic. By bringing together diverse perspectives and innovative solutions, we aim to foster collaboration and accelerate the development of sustainable energy systems that can power our world while preserving our environment. The editors encourage submissions of original research articles, short communications, industrial and country/region case studies, and review articles that cover the following topics:
• Energy storage materials (e.g. Li/Na/K/Zn-ion batteries, air batteries, supercapacitors, etc.).
• Electronic waste recycling (e.g. battery recycling, discarded circuit boards, Industrial waste containing precious metals, etc.).
• Computational simulation (e.g. Electron structure and molecular dynamics simulations related to energy storage materials, catalysis, etc.).
• Functional materials (e.g. catalysts for waste regeneration, etc.)
Keywords:
Energy storage materials; Batteries; Theoretical calculations; Electronic waste; Recycling
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
