Journal of Power Sources The Journal of Power Sources is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research on battery technologies, fuel cell systems, and energy conversion and storage devices. Established in 1976, it publishes original research, reviews, and technical notes on advances relevant to Li-ion battery development, solid oxide fuel cell engineering, and electrochemical energy systems. The journal serves scholars associated with institutions like Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, Imperial College London, Tsinghua University, and University of Cambridge.
Founded amid rising interest in electrochemical power, the journal began publishing in 1976 with links to research communities at Bell Labs, General Electric, Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Brookhaven National Laboratory. Early editors included scholars from Caltech, ETH Zurich, University of Tokyo, University of Oxford, and École Polytechnique. Through the 1980s and 1990s its pages reflected developments tied to events such as the 1973 oil crisis, collaborations with agencies like the U.S. Department of Energy, and projects at NASA. The 2000s brought expanded coverage of lithium-ion battery commercialization tied to industries represented by Panasonic, Samsung SDI, Tesla, Inc., Toyota, and LG Chem. In the 2010s the journal featured research connecting to initiatives at European Commission, Horizon 2020, China National Energy Administration, and Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Recent decades showed growing ties to conferences such as the Electrochemical Society Meeting, International Battery Association Conference, Fuel Cell Seminar, Materials Research Society Fall Meeting, and IEEE Energy Conversion Congress.
The journal covers experimental and theoretical work on lithium-ion battery materials, sodium-ion battery systems, flow battery engineering, lead-acid battery improvements, nickel-metal hydride battery optimization, solid-state battery architectures, and supercapacitor designs. It publishes studies on proton exchange membrane fuel cell performance, solid oxide fuel cell degradation, microbial fuel cell applications, and direct methanol fuel cell diagnostics. Other topics include catalyst design tied to platinum and palladium usage, electrode interfaces studied alongside graphene and carbon nanotube materials, electrolyte formulations referencing propylene carbonate, ethylene carbonate, and novel ionic liquids, and diagnostics using techniques such as X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Interdisciplinary work connects to projects at National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Fraunhofer Society, CEA, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology.
Published by Elsevier, the journal employs an international editorial board with members from University of California, Berkeley, University of Michigan, Seoul National University, Peking University, and Monash University. The editor-in-chief role has been held by researchers affiliated with Delft University of Technology, University of Texas at Austin, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and University of Pennsylvania. Manuscripts undergo peer review coordinated through systems used by publishers such as Elsevier Editorial System and tools associated with CrossRef and ORCID identifiers. The journal issues weekly volumes and special issues connected to symposia at organizations like IEEE, ACS, RSC, IUPAC, and SAE International.
The journal is indexed in major services including Science Citation Index, Scopus, INSPEC, Chemical Abstracts Service, and Compendex. Its articles appear in databases used by institutions such as Harvard University, Yale University, Princeton University, University of California System, and Columbia University. Citation metrics are tracked by Clarivate Analytics and bibliometric analyses referencing Google Scholar and Dimensions often cite the journal. It is listed in databases maintained by ProQuest, EBSCOhost, WorldCat, and library consortia including OCLC.
The journal has influenced industrial research at corporations like ExxonMobil, Chevron, Siemens, Bosch, and ABB and guided policy discussions at International Energy Agency, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and national research councils such as NSF, EPSRC, and DFG. It ranks highly in subject categories tracked by Journal Citation Reports and is referenced in landmark reports from Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, EU Green Deal briefings, and national strategies for electrification advocated by Department of Energy (United States). The journal's articles are frequently cited in patents filed by firms such as Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Volkswagen, BMW, and Nissan.
Notable publications have addressed breakthroughs in lithium metal anodes, solid electrolyte interfaces, dendrite suppression techniques developed in collaboration with 5G-era manufacturing groups, and lifecycle analyses referenced by IPCC assessments. Special issues have focused on topics tied to conferences such as the Electrochemical Society Meeting, themed issues coordinated with Horizon 2020 projects, and guest-edited editions by scholars from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Cambridge, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Influential papers have been authored by researchers affiliated with Sony Corporation labs, Hitachi, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Argonne National Laboratory, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
Published by Elsevier, the journal offers hybrid open access options in line with publisher policies and agreements negotiated with consortia such as Project DEAL and country-level deals involving Japan Science and Technology Agency and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. Authors can pay article processing charges to make papers freely available, and archival content is accessible through institutional subscriptions held by libraries at British Library, Bibliothèque nationale de France, National Diet Library (Japan), and Library of Congress. Deposits to repositories are governed by policies coordinated with Sherpa Romeo and national funders including European Research Council and National Natural Science Foundation of China.
