Publisher's Synopsis
The critical challenge in achieving sustainable energy transition lies in revolutionizing energy storage technologies. Electrochemical energy storage (EES) systems are emerging as the cornerstone for integrating renewable energy sources-solar, wind, and tidal power-into global grids by mitigating their inherent intermittency. This reprint illuminates groundbreaking advancements in materials science that redefine the frontiers of EES performance, durability, and scalability. Curated by pioneers in electrochemistry and materials engineering, this collection presents transformative strategies for next-generation batteries and supercapacitors. Contributions span atomic-scale mechanistic studies, sustainable synthesis protocols, and industrial-scale manufacturing breakthroughs. By bridging fundamental research with real-world deployment challenges, this reprint envisions EES technologies as enablers of a carbon-neutral future, where materials innovation harmonizes energy accessibility with planetary boundaries. Through interdisciplinary collaboration and circular design principles, we strive to transform energy storage from a technological hurdle into a catalyst for equitable, ecologically resilient societies.
