Abstract

Probing the chemistry and materials science of electrochemical energy materials is a central topic in both chemical physics and energy chemistry due to the increasingly important role of energy devices in the current and future energy system and industry. Especially, understanding the chemical physics of electrochemical energy materials is the key to enhance the performance of energy storage and conversion devices such as batteries, fuel cells, electrolyzers, and supercapacitors. This special topic focuses on the fundamental understanding of electrochemical energy applications, including electrochemistry fundamentals, structural dynamics and degradation mechanism of materials, optimization strategies for improving electrochemical performance of energy devices, and emerging simulation and characterization methods applied to advanced energy materials.
