Abstract

Abstract:

As China advances its "dual carbon" strategy and transitions toward a cleaner energy structure, energy storage technology has become increasingly important for supporting the development of new productive forces. To meet this growing demand, universities must prioritize the cultivation of highly trained energy storage professionals. Energy storage science and engineering is an interdisciplinary field that involves materials science, energy and power engineering, physics, chemistry, and electrical engineering, and it places higher demands on traditional teaching models and methods in universities. This study reviews the characteristics and development status of energy storage science and engineering disciplines. Taking the Energy storage science and engineering program at the School of Energy and Power Engineering, Chongqing University as a case study, this study highlights the importance of guiding interdisciplinary literacy during the training of students at the undergraduate, masters, and doctoral levels. In addition, it analyzes the main challenges facing the program, such as the lack of knowledge structures, outdated teaching methods, and lagging training models. Based on the professional requirements for cultivating high-quality interdisciplinary talent, this study proposes new ideas for creating a multidisciplinary curriculum system and cutting-edge interdisciplinary research topics to guide training during undergraduate, master's, and doctoral stages. Finally, this study emphasizes the steps for implementing cutting-edge interdisciplinary research and related outcomes through specific case studies, underscoring the significant role of interdisciplinary training in advancing the development of energy storage science and engineering programs.
