Climate change and concerns over the reliable supplies of hydrocarbons are aiding in the focus on Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs). The Lithium-ion battery as a better solution for energy storage in automobile applications is briefly introduced. Adverse effects ... Read More
In the fast growing but also highly competitive market of battery-powered power tools short charging times are essential to achieve customer acceptance and to create unique selling propositions. To prevent loss of performance and fast charging capability due to cell aging, the knowledge ... Read More
Modeling of mass transport is an important step in evaluating lithium-ion battery electrolytes and understanding cell performance. For high-power applications, concentration gradients in the electrolyte lead to limiting currents, which limit the power-density of the battery. The model ... Read More
Sodium/metal chloride storage batteries, used in hybrid propulsion applications, provide high energy and power densities safely and reliably. To understand the dynamics of electrochemical cycling, a high-temperature sodium/ferrous chloride storage cell was modeled in two dimensions. The ... Read More
Lithium ion battery electrodes are porous composite film made up of two or three different types of solid material. Typically using the fabrication of the electrode, the solid powders (active material, binder and in most cases a conductive active) are dispersed in a solvent like NMP and ... Read More
Lithium plating on the graphite anode is a significant factor contributing to the degradation of cell capacity, initiation of internal short circuits, and escalation of thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries. Non-intrusive detection methods for lithium plating are critical for the safe ... Read More
Flash lamp annealing (FLA) is a modern annealing technique in the range of milliseconds, which is predestinated for roll-to-roll fabrication of battery electrodes. All-solid-state batteries are the next generation battery concepts that are currently being envisaged among both the ... Read More
Of utmost importance in appliance design and manufacture are the features for protection from fire and for personal safety. Appliance engineers are continually in pursuit of better,longer-life appliances that will provide both lower cost to the consumer and lower energy consumption. ... Read More
Electric vehicles (EVs) powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been developed as a replacement for the conventional internal-combustion-engine automobiles. Research has been yielding a stream of improvements to the traditional LIB technology, focusing on energy and ... Read More
In this study, a three-dimensional (3-D) phase field model was developed to better understand the parameters impacting the LiFePO4 cathode material in lithium ion batteries. LiFePO4 has a strong tendency to separate into stable high Li+ concentration and low Li+ concentration phases, ... Read More
