Energy Storage and New Materials

Energy storage technology is the key to achieve sustainable energy development and can be used in power, transportation, and industrial production. Large-scale energy storage systems are a key part of smart grid construction. To a certain extent, the application of energy storage technology determines the development level of renewable energy and determines the success or failure of energy Internet. At the same time, the discovery, invention and application of new materials are inseparable from the technological revolution and industrial transformation. New materials will play an irreplaceable foundation and support role in the smart grid. Accelerating the development of new materials is of strategic importance for promoting technological innovation, supporting industrial upgrading, and building a strong manufacturing country (Qi et al. 2007; Wu et al. 2017).
