Abstract
Establishing renewable energy sources is currently one of the major scientific topics. Two aspects are most crucial: energy conversion and energy storage. Thus, the development of efficient solar-cell devices and high-capacity, high-current rechargeable battery systems turns out to be of great importance. In particular, the design of active materials and their characterization using electrochemical and spectroscopic means represent essential elements in the development process. Here, a concise overview of both methods and key properties with regard to the characterization of organic and polymeric active materials with a focus on energy conversion/storage is provided. Benefits and limitations of complementary techniques are presented to enable a consistent and comprehensive characterization procedure.
期刊介绍:
Established in 2011, Advanced Energy Materials is an international, interdisciplinary, English-language journal that focuses on materials used in energy harvesting, conversion, and storage. It is regarded as a top-quality journal alongside Advanced Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, and Small.
With a 2022 Impact Factor of 27.8, Advanced Energy Materials is considered a prime source for the best energy-related research. The journal covers a wide range of topics in energy-related research, including organic and inorganic photovoltaics, batteries and supercapacitors, fuel cells, hydrogen generation and storage, thermoelectrics, water splitting and photocatalysis, solar fuels and thermosolar power, magnetocalorics, and piezoelectronics.
The readership of Advanced Energy Materials includes materials scientists, chemists, physicists, and engineers in both academia and industry. The journal is indexed in various databases and collections, such as Advanced Technologies & Aerospace Database, FIZ Karlsruhe, INSPEC (IET), Science Citation Index Expanded, Technology Collection, and Web of Science, among others.
