The global transition to sustainable energy systems and the growing demand for high-efficiency electrical infrastructure necessitate groundbreaking innovations across materials, devices, and system-level engineering. This Reserach Topic focuses on cutting-edge advancements in energy storage technologies (e.g., batteries, supercapacitors, and hybrid systems) and high-voltage electrical engineering applications (e.g., power transmission, insulation systems, and pulsed power). By bridging the gap between material innovation, device optimization, and system integration, this issue aims to address critical challenges such as energy density, durability, safety, and scalability, while advancing solutions for extreme voltage environments.
This Research Topic aims to serve as a collaborative platform for scientists, engineers, and industry experts to share pioneering research, innovations, and perspectives in the realm of advanced materials, power conversion devices/systems, high-voltage energy storage. It targets fostering interdisciplinary collaborations and showcasing breakthrough technologies that ensure electrical systems' sustainability, efficiency, and reliability. Goals include addressing specific issues such as the development of novel materials, innovative device architectures, and integrated systems.
To gather further insights in these evolving domains, submissions encompassing both theoretical and applied studies are welcomed, emphatically focusing on scientific and practical advancements. We encourage contributions in the following themes: - Advanced materials for energy storage (Li-ion, solid-state, redox flow, supercapacitors) - Dielectric materials and insulation technologies for high-voltage applications - Novel device designs for energy conversion and high-voltage management - Thermal management and safety protocols in energy storage systems - AI/ML-driven optimization of electrical systems and predictive maintenance - Integration of renewables with grid-scale storage and high-voltage infrastructure - Emerging technologies for pulsed power, HVDC transmission, and electrified mobility - Lifecycle analysis, recycling, and sustainability of energy storage systems
