ASME Special Issue : Mechanics of Electrochemical Energy Storage and Conversion

Special Issue: Mechanics of Electrochemical Energy Storage and Conversion  

in ASME Journal of Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage (JEECS) and ASME Applied Mechanics Review (AMR) 

Advances in electrochemical energy storage and conversion play a critical role in developments required to meet the rising energy demand of the world in a sustainable way. The emerging field of electro-chemo-mechanics, the interplay of mechanics and electrochemistry, is crucial for understanding the coupled physicochemical processes in a wide range of energy technologies, including rechargeable batteries, capacitors, photoelectrochemical cells, electrolyzers, and fuel cells. Electrochemical phenomena influence the mechanical response, for example by inducing deformation and regulating fracture initiation/propagation. Conversely, mechanical phenomena influence electrochemical properties such as device reliability, efficiency, and durability. 

Special issues of JEECS (open submission) and AMR (by invitation only) aim to collect original research articles, technology reviews, and comprehensive scientific reviews concerned with recent advances in electro-chemomechanics and its future directions. Topics of interest include theoretical, experimental, and/or computational studies of relevant phenomena across all scales occurring in electrochemical energy storage and conversion.
