【固态电池专刊征稿】Solid-State Batteries for eTransportation

国际交通电动化杂志 e Transportation 致力于搭建全球从事交通电动化相关研究优秀学者高水平创新成果共享平台。电池作为电动化交通工具的核心动力源，一直是研究与创新的重点和热点。 固态电池（Solid-State Batteries-简称SSB）具有安全性好、能量密度高等潜在优势，被认为是最具发展潜力的下一代动力电池。 固态电池的研发及应用，将带来从材料开发、电芯设计、生产工艺到系统设计与管理的全面革新。 近年来，国内外汽车/电池企业纷纷加码固态电池研发，全球范围的固态电池研发大竞赛已经全面拉开。然而，固态电池的规模量产仍面临着材料稳定性、界面相容性及电芯制备工艺等各方面的问题，急需产学研各界协同攻关 。

    为 此，eTransportation设立了 Solid-State Batteries for eTransportation 专刊 （ 详见网址 ：https://www.journals.elsevier.com/etransportation/forthcoming-special-issues/solid-state-batteries-for-etransportation） ，投稿系统已开放，欢迎各位专家、学者投稿，选择 VSI：Solid-State Batteries 。

Transportation electrification is the demand of the energy revolution and the necessary way to achieve carbon neutralization. Lithium-ion batteries have been the most critical technology in the success of all modes of electrified transportation, including electric vehicles, electric trains, electric ships and electric aircrafts. The ever-increasing demands of long-driving-range, fast-charge, low-cost and safe electrified transportation, are calling for better batteries. Solid-state batteries are increasingly regarded as the promising next-generation batteries, considering their potential advantages of high energy/power density, intrinsic safety, long service life and fast-charging capability. Moreover, implementing solid-state electrolytes in batteries will bring advanced structure designs of cells, modules and packs, revolutionizing the existing manufacturing process of batteries. However, solid-state batteries still face several problems before mass-production, such as low ionic conductivity of solid electrolytes, unstable electrode-electrolyte interfaces, mechanical failures, etc.

Therefore, we here propose this ETRANS Special Issue to explore the recent progress, review and perspective of solid-state batteries for electrified transportation.
