Research Review Scope
Rapid advancements in battery technology drive innovations in electrical vehicle (EV) propulsion systems with advantages such as improved energy density, enhanced safety, and extended driving range. Solid-state batteries (SSBs) use solid electrolytes instead of liquid electrolyte solutions to enhance safety by eliminating the possibility of thermal runaway and electrolyte leakage. They enable faster charging times, longer driving range, and extended cycle life. Sodium-ion batteries are emerging as one of the most promising alternatives for lithium-ion batteries. They use sodium, which is abundantly available as opposed to the scarce and costly materials such as lithium and cobalt. They are known for their lower production cost and alleviated performance in cold temperatures.

With further diversification in EV applications, advanced batteries such as SSBs, sodium-ion batteries, and flow batteries are expected to expand further possibilities for high-performance EVs, low-cost urban transportation, and efficient commercial fleets, realizing the next chapter in sustainable transportation.
