During the last years, the development of electric propulsion systems is pushed strongly, most notably for automotive applications. For ground based transportation, the system mass is relevant, but of relatively low importance. This paper addresses the application of electric propulsion systems in aeronautics, where all systems are much more constrained by their mass. After comparing different ...

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is developed for rechargeable non-aqueous electrolyte lithium-air batteries with a partial opening for oxygen supply to the cathode. Multi-phase transport phenomena occurred in the battery are considered, including dissolved lithium ions and oxygen gas in the liquid electrolyte, solid-phase electron transfer in the porous functional materials and liqui...

Efficient energy storage technologies are vital in the current efforts towards decarbonisation. Batteries, as one of most versatile electrochemical systems, have potential to shape transition from climate crisis scenario a carbon neutral and sustainable future. In particular, metal–air batteries gaining scientific industrial interest promising contenders ubiquitous lithium-ion batteries. The el...
