Abstract The reliability and safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are key issues in battery applications. Accurate prediction the state-of-health (SOH) LIBs can reduce or even avoid battery-related accidents. In this paper, a new back-propagation neural network (BPNN) is proposed to predict SOH LIBs. BPNN uses as input LIB voltage, current temperature, well charging time, since it strongly co...

Introduction With the goal of promoting energy conservation and exploring forms of energy alternative to petrified sources, as well as of reducing environmental burden, much effort has been spent on developing new breeds of vehicles. These include Hybrid vehicles (HV) that run on a combined system of a fossil fuel engine and an electric motor, Plug-in HVs (PHVs) that allow recharging of the in-...

The lithium ion batteries, thanks to their high densities and high power, became promotes element for hybrid-electric and plug-in electric vehicles. Thermal management of lithium ion battery is important for many reasons, including thermal runaway, performance and maintains a constant temperature during the operating, security, lifecycle. However, in a battery pack, the batteries are stacked ag...

A novel lithium ion sulfur battery is formed by coupling an activated ordered mesoporous carbon-sulfur (AOMC-S) cathode and a nanostructured tin-carbon anode. The lithium ion cell has improved reversibility, high energy content and excellent cycle life.

We present a new approach to fabricate an integrated power pack by hybridizing energy harvest and storage processes. This power pack incorporates a series-wound dyesensitized solar cell (DSSC) and a lithium ion battery (LIB) on the same Ti foil that has double-sided TiO2 nanotube (NTs) arrays. The solar cell part is made of two different cosensitized tandem solar cells based on TiO2 nanorod arr...

Lithium–sulfur battery (LSB) technology has tremendous prospects to substitute lithium-ion (LIB) due its high energy density. However, the escaping of polysulfide intermediates (produced during redox reaction process) from cathode structure is primary reason for rapid capacity fading. Suppressing shuttle (PSS) a viable solution this move closer commercialization and supersede established LIB te...

Liquid fuel has been the main source of energy in internal combustion engines (ICE) for decades. However, lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have replaced ICE environmentally friendly vehicles and reducing fossil dependence. This paper focuses on comparative analysis battery thermal management system (BTMS) to maintain a working temperature range 15–35 °C prevent runaway high gradient, consequently in...

Currently, Lithium-ion batteries (LiB) are widely applied in energy storage devices smart grids and electric vehicles. The state of charge (SOC) is an indication the available battery capacity, one most important factors that should be monitored to optimize LiB’s performance improve its lifetime. However, because SOC relies on many nonlinear factors, it difficult estimate accurately. This paper...

Room temperature ionic liquids are considered as potential electrolytes for high performance and safe lithium batteries due to their very low vapor pressure and relatively wide electrochemical and thermal stability windows. Unlike organic electrolytes, ionic liquid electrolytes are molten salts at room temperature with dissociated cations and anions. These dissociated ions interfere with the tr...

In this paper, the performances of various lithium-ion chemistries for use in plug-in hybrid electric vehicles have been investigated and compared to several other rechargeable energy storage systems technologies such as lead-acid, nickel-metal hydride and electrical-double layer capacitors. The analysis has shown the beneficial properties of lithium-ion in the terms of energy density, power de...
