The discharge of an alkaline Zn anode involves the conversion of Zn metal to solid ZnO through the zincate ion. With the heterogeneous dissolution of Zn and mobility of zincate in the electrolyte, complex radial distributions of Zn and ZnO have been observed to occur in the anodes of ... En savoir plus

This case study explains the work we undertook where we modelled an Induction heating system in COMSOL Multiphysics simulation software to correlate the simulation results with actual measurements. The simulated results were cross checked with several different measurement scenarios, ... En savoir plus

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 ... En savoir plus

The increasing demand for electrochemical energy storage (EES) in stationary applications underscores the urgent need for advanced battery technologies. Among these, zinc-based systems, particularly rechargeable zinc-air flow batteries (RZAFBs), are gaining attention due to their ... En savoir plus

Maritime transport contributes to about 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells are considered among the most promising clean technologies for decarbonizing the maritime sector. Some of the main benefits of PEM fuel cells include highly efficient ... En savoir plus

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 ... En savoir plus

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. ... En savoir plus

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 ... En savoir plus

The poster presents a methodology to account for thermal effects on battery cells to improve the typical thermal performances in a pack through heating calculations generally performed under the operating condition assumption. The aim is to analyze the issues based on battery thermo ... En savoir plus

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, ... En savoir plus
