Silicon-based anode materials are used to improve the performance of next-generation high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the inherent limitations and cost of these materials are hindering their mass production. Commercial graph...

Despite their high specific capacity, magnetron-sputtered Si/Al thin films face rapid capacity decay due to stress-induced cracking, delamination, and detrimental electrolyte reactions. This study introduces a carbon-coated composite anode that overc...

This study investigates a hybrid-battery thermal management system (BTMS) integrating air-cooling, a cold plate, and porous materials to optimize heat dissipation in a 20-cell battery pack during charging and discharging cycles of up to 5C. A computa...

Research on the thermal safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is crucial for supporting their large-scale application [...]

A priority area for low-cost LIBs is the commercial production of electrodes with a high cycle life and efficiency in an environmentally benign fashion and a cost-effective manner. We demonstrate the use of undoped/untreated, flexible, stand-alone, m...

The massive production and utilization of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has intensified concerns about raw material shortage and end-of-life battery management. The development of effective recycling/reusing strategies, especially for the valuable act...

The thermal runaway propagation (TRP) model of energy storage batteries can provide solutions for the safety protection of energy storage systems. Traditional TRP models are solved using the finite element method, which can significantly consume comp...

This paper proposes an early warning method for thermal runaway in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) based on multidimensional signal analysis and redundancy optimization. By analyzing signals such as voltage, temperature, strain, and gas concentrations, P...

Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) improve battery management in electric vehicles (EVs) by enhancing the safety, durability, and reliability of electrochemical batteries, particularly through improvements in the State of Charge (SOC) estimation. EV b...
