Forthcoming Special Issues
Electric Vehicles and Smart Energy System, V2G and V2X
Aim:
The electrification of transport is a critical element of the energy transition and a key contributor to decarbonisation of energy supply. The booming market for electric vehicles leads to a huge integration of battery storage into the power systems. In order to unlock this flexibility potential for renewable energy integration and grid stabilization, smart electric vehicle control and intelligent energy system concepts must be implemented. Therefore, this special issue seeks publications that scientifically evaluate the potential of smart charging, vehicle to everything, and low-carbon approaches to support current and future concepts of intelligent vehicle integration in the power system. Researchers are also encouraged to submit original work covering all aspects of integration all modes of electrified transportation and various electricity generation and storage technologies.
Scopes:
- Implementation of vehicle-to-everything solutions (such as V2G, V2B, V2L, V2V, etc)
- Interaction between vehicles, low-carbon power system and energy storage through V2X concepts
- Opportunities for utilizing V2X in local electricity distribution gridsV2X solutions for micro-grids
- Aggregation of vehicle pools on different markets
- Smart charging or swapping
- Power electronics devices supporting bidirectional charging
- Battery aging or safety of V2X operation and life cycle implications
- Grid stabilization of V2X system
- Charging infrastructure improvements
- Relative economic and market analysis

Solid-State Batteries for eTransportation
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.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- New materials (solid-state electrolyte, cathode, and anode) of solid-state batteries
- High-performance solid-state batteries for electrified transportation
Innovative design, fabrication, and manufacturing technologies of solid-state batteries - Advanced characterization and diagnosis techniques for solid-state batteries
- Failure mechanism of electrode-electrolyte interfaces in solid-state batteries and solutions
- Degradation mechanism of solid-state batteries and solutions
- Mechanical failures of solid-state batteries and solutions
- Safety of solid-state batteries and future test standards
- Fast charging of solid-state batteries
- Multiphysics and multiscale modeling of solid-state batteries
- Technology roadmap of solid-state batteries for electrified transportation
- Perspectives and reviews of solid-state batteries for electrified transportation
