Topic: Machine Learning for Development and Management in Rechargeable Batteries

Rechargeable batteries, exemplified by lithium-ion batteries, are playing a pivotal role in contemporary power systems and the electrification of transportation. However, current batteries face significant challenges, including performance degradation and thermal runaway. The intricate materials design space, under-explored electrochemical reactions, and dynamic operating conditions present significant hurdles to developing new battery technologies or management strategies. Machine learning has emerged as an indispensable tool for addressing these challenges.

Here, we invite researchers and practitioners to contribute to our Special Issue focused on the intersection of machine learning and batteries. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following applications of machine learning:

● Battery materials discovery and structure optimization;

● Battery modeling, state estimation, fault diagnosis, and lifetime prediction;

● Battery charging, balancing, and thermal management; 

● Second use and recycling of retired batteries.
