About ESMS
Energy Storage Manufacturing Science (ESMS) is a non-profit, open-access journal supported by the U.S. Department of Energy. ESMS publishes reproducible, transparent, collaborative, and transdisciplinary research focused on scalable manufacturing approaches for advancing and producing energy storage technologies.
At ESMS, we believe that rigorous research is the essential foundation for discoveries. Incremental progress enables major breakthroughs—especially in energy storage.
Our central theme is cost-focused critical research. Market adoption is driven by cost competitiveness. We emphasize processing sciences that reduce manufacturing cost in current technologies alongside discovery in emerging ones.
ESMS is led by Professors Jie Xiao and M. Stanley Whittingham. The mission is a free and open platform for validated results that industry can apply to achieve meaningful advances.
ESMS promotes communication of errors and uncertainties, welcomes negative results, and encourages healthy skepticism to ensure reproducibility.
