The development of robust oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst with fast kinetics and good durability is significant for rechargeable zinc–air batteries (ZABs) but still remains a great challenge. Herein, inspired by the chain-like intercon...

Sb-based anodes have great potential in lithium-ion batteries because of their relatively high theoretical capacities. However, in general, their volume changes (>150%) during charge and discharge process have a significant impact, which affects t...

Solid-state lithium batteries (SSLBs) have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional lithium-ion systems due to their superior safety profile, higher energy density, and potential compatibility with lithium metal anodes. However, a major cha...

During a thermal runaway, Lithium-ion battery cells are subjected to a large increase in temperature, which will vaporize and potentially thermally degrade their liquid electrolyte. The formation of gas in the battery cell will increase the pressure...

Accurate estimation of the state of health (SOH) of lithium-ion batteries confronts two critical challenges: the extreme scarcity of labeled data in large-scale operational datasets and the mismatch between existing methods (relying on full charging&...

Amidst the background of accelerated global energy transition, the safety risk of lithium-ion battery energy storage systems, especially the fire hazard, has become a key bottleneck hindering their large-scale application, and there is an urgent need...

Determining charge and discharge behavior is essential for optimizing charging strategies and evaluating balancing algorithms in battery energy storage systems and electric vehicles. Conventionally, a sequence of circuit simulations or tedious hardwa...

A continuous mixing process with a twin-screw extruder was investigated for graphite-based negative electrode pastes for high-power applications. In the extrusion-based mixing process, the first kneading concentration is one of the key processing par...

The rapid growth of electric vehicles (EVs) and new energy systems has put lithium-ion batteries at the center of the clean energy change. Nevertheless, to achieve the best battery performance, safety, and sustainability in many changing circumstance...

The development of anode-free sodium metal batteries (AFSMBs) offers a promising pathway to achieve ultrahigh energy density and cost efficiency inherent to conventional sodium ion/metal batteries. However, irreversible Na plating/stripping and dendr...
