Degradation in lithium ion battery current collectors

A degradation-based sorting method for lithium-ion battery reuse

In a world where millions of people are dependent on batteries to provide them with convenient and portable energy, battery recycling is of the utmost importance. In this paper, we developed a new method to sort 18650 Lithium-ion batteries in large quantities and in real time for harvesting used cells with enough capacity for battery reuse. Internal resistance and capacity tests were conducted ...

Thermal runaway is mitigated by changing the geometry of current

Electrocatalysis of Lithium Polysulfides: Current Collectors as Electrodes in Li/S Battery Configuration

Lithium Sulfur (Li/S) chemistries are amongst the most promising next-generation battery technologies due to their high theoretical energy density. However, the detrimental effects of their intermediate byproducts, polysulfides (PS), have to be resolved to realize these theoretical performance limits. Confined approaches on using porous carbons to entrap PS have yielded limited success. In this...

Modeling The Lithium-ion Battery

Highly Functionalized Lithium-Ion Battery

Future energy demand is an important issue that requires consideration. Lithiumion batteries (LIB) are one of the most popular types of rechargeable battery for portable electronic devices, such as mobile phones, cameras, and laptop computers, and have led to other applications being commercialized. Distributed power generation using renewable energy sources, such as solar photovoltaic (PV), ca...
