Journal of Power Sources

Journal of Power Sources serves as a premier global forum for publishing high-impact research and critical reviews that shape the future of electrochemical energy technologies. The journal distinguishes itself by providing comprehensive coverage of the entire value chain in electrochemical power sources—from fundamental materials discoveries and component innovation to full-system integration, performance validation, and real-world deployment. Our mission is to advance both scientific discoveries and application-driven technology development, bridging fundamental research with practical implementation to accelerate the transition to a clean, electrified global economy.

We seek transformative research that drives progress across the following examples:

• Next-generation batteries (e.g., lithium-based, sodium-based, zinc-based, and multivalent battery systems)

• Metal–air batteries, redox flow batteries, supercapacitors, and hybrid energy storage–conversion devices

• Fuel cells, electrolyzers, advanced electrocatalysts, and photoelectrochemical cells

• Electrochemical CO₂ reduction and ammonia synthesis

Priority areas include:

• Materials electrochemistry to unlock step-change performance, safety, cost, efficiency, and reliability

• Component engineering and scalable manufacturing for higher technology readiness

• Artificial intelligence (AI)-driven design, machine learning, and multiscale simulations to accelerate discovery, enhance predictive modeling, and optimize system performance, substantiated by experimental validation

• Advanced, multi-scale characterization and diagnostics, including in situ, operando, and postmortem analysis of materials and interfaces

• Mechanistic studies of degradation and aging phenomena to extend device lifespan and reliability

• System-level integration, prototyping, and performance validation in real-world applications

• Sector-specific applications, from electric mobility and grid infrastructure to aerospace and portable devices

• Circular economy solutions, including recycling, critical materials, supply chain, and lifecycle sustainability analysis

Sector-specific applications are considered in scope only when they directly involve or advance the electrochemistry of materials and components.

The Journal of Power Sources welcomes experimental, and experimentally validated theoretical and computational contributions, that demonstrate rigor, excellence, and impact for academia, industry, and policy.
