Journal Guide

EES Batteries is a premier journal, publishing exceptional battery and energy storage focused research. Delivering the same influence and reputation for quality which researchers associate with companion journal Energy & Environmental Science, EES Batteries is strongly interdisciplinary, welcoming influential, high impact and quality research across all scientific disciplines including chemistry, physics, materials science, engineering, computational/theoretical studies, and policy.

Exceptional research of significant and notable interest to the batteries research communities is welcomed. This includes but is not limited to:

• New battery concepts, materials, and systems
• Battery electrochemistry
• Electrode materials and composites
• Battery interfaces and interphases
• Advanced characterization tools and techniques
• Modelling, simulation and theoretical studies
• AI empowered battery science, technologies, and applications
• System integrations and applications with batteries
• Battery manufacturing, recycling, and scalability
• Safety, stability, and performance optimization
• Policy work and technoeconomic analyses

Research related to batteries in conjunction with fuel cells, supercapacitors, or capacitors is also within the scope of the journal.

EES Solar is a premier interdisciplinary journal dedicated to publishing high-impact research focused on solar energy and photovoltaics. Building on the reputation of companion journal Energy & Environmental Science for high quality and influence, EES Solar aims to be a leading publication for groundbreaking studies that span a wide range of scientific disciplines, all connected by the thread of solar. The journal welcomes studies and analyses at all scales, from groundbreaking fundamental advances to interdisciplinary research across chemistry, physics, materials science, engineering, theory, and policy and technoeconomic analyses, for advancing the field of solar energy. Research that utilizes green materials and sustainable practices, championing developments that minimize environmental impact while achieving high performance is particularly encouraged.

EES Solar is the home for exceptional research that pushes the boundaries of solar research and its applications. This includes, but is not limited to:
• Solar cell and photovoltaic research
• Solar fuels and artificial photosynthesis
• Photocatalysts for energy and environmental applications
• Photothermal and photoelectrochemical solar energy conversion
• Photonics
• Light-matter interaction and spectroscopy
• Photovoltaic system design, solar power systems, and integration
• Modelling, simulation, and theoretical studies including AI and machine learning
• Policy work and technoeconomic analyses

The journal is meant for ecologists who, because of their research interests or occupation, are involved in designing, monitoring, or constructing ecosystems. It is meant to serve as a bridge between ecologists and engineers, as ecotechnology is not wholly defined by either field.The journal will be read and contributed to by applied ecologists, environmental scientists and managers and regulators, natural resource specialists (e.g. foresters, fish and wildlife specialists), environmental and civil engineers, agroecologists, and landscape planners and designers. The journal is also for engineers who, as a result of training and/or experience in biological and/or ecological sciences, are involved in designing and building ecosystems. The journal is of particular interest to practising environmental managers due to its multidisciplinary approach to practical problems and opportunities.Ecological engineering has been defined as the design of ecosystems for the mutual benefit of humans and nature. Specific topics covered in the journal include: ecotechnology; synthetic ecology; bioengineering; sustainable agroecology; habitat reconstruction; restoration ecology; ecosystem conservation; ecosystem rehabilitation; stream and river restoration; wetland restoration and construction; reclamation ecology; non-renewable resource conservation. Applications of ecological engineering (or ecotechnology) include wetland creation and restoration, pollution control by ecosystems, restoration and rehabilitation of forests, grasslands, lakes, reservoirs and rivers, and development of sustainable agroecosystems.Because ecological engineering is based on the premise of conserving both renewable and non-renewable resources by using both in partnership, the journal will also be pertinent to those involved in global climate change, alternative energy policies, ecological economics, environmental conservation, and global geopolitics.The journal welcomes full papers, short communications, comments, letters to the Editor, and will publish review articles upon invitation.Papers will be published in the English language. The journal will not levy page charges and the corresponding author, at no cost, will be provided with a PDF file of the article via e-mail.All papers will be subject to peer review and they will be dealt with as speedily as is compatible with a high standard of presentation.
