Industry and science unite through the formation of new journal titled Watt, a collaborative effort between CATL and Springer Nature.
In an exciting development for the energy sector, a new international journal named Watt has been launched by 21C Lab, the innovation arm of CATL, and Springer Nature. The journal, set to debut in February 2026, aims to redefine the role of scientific journals by serving as a bridge between transformative science and scalable technology.
Watt is not just a platform for publishing research; it's a hub for collaboration and knowledge exchange, designed to advance the global energy transition. The journal fosters rigorous science with practical applicability, encouraging innovation that is essential to achieving a sustainable, net-zero future.
The journal is guided by a world-class editorial board of preeminent scientists in energy research and publishing. It encourages endorsement by sharing it within industry networks, fostering unity between academia and industry.
Watt encompasses research on energy storage, conversion technologies, grid optimization, carbon capture, and policy analysis, all key areas in the pursuit of energy and carbon neutrality.
Individuals can also join as a reviewer to help establish rigorous academic standards in Watt. The global academic community is invited to contribute to Watt by submitting ground-breaking research.
While the 'Five Highs' framework of the journal, focused on energy and carbon neutrality, is led by a specific research group, the identities of the leading researchers and the specific goals of this framework are not yet fully disclosed.
Watt aims to accelerate the sustainable energy transition, and beyond publishing research, it provides a platform for knowledge exchange that could potentially speed up the process.
Submissions for the journal are now open. If you have research that could contribute to the global energy transition, consider submitting it to Watt. You can find the submission link here. Let's join forces to make a difference in the world's energy future.
