Traditionally solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) for lithium battery application are made by dissolving a Li-salt in matrix, which renders both the Li+ cations, charge carriers of interest, and anions, only by-standers, mobile. In contrast, single-ion conductors (SICs), with solely cation mobile, can be created grafting anions onto backbone. SICs provide safety, mechanical stability, flexibility...

The Peukert relationship was originally introduced in 1897 for lead-acid batteries and defines one of the most common parameters for battery performance evaluation. This article assesses its application for lithium-ion batteries. From the performed analysis, we can conclude that the Peukert relationship is suitable in a narrow working range such as limited current range and almost constant work...

Accurate prediction of the remaining useful life (RUL) of lithium-ion batteries is important for battery management systems. Traditional empirical data-driven approaches for RUL prediction usually require multidimensional physical characteristics including the current, voltage, usage duration, battery temperature, and ambient temperature. From a capacity fading analysis of lithium-ion batteries...

emerging technologies increase the needs on self efficient mobile robotic applications that bring a new concern of sustainable and continuous power supply for the robotic platforms. this paper covers the various techniques and technologies used to design a solar powered robot, exploring the currently available products, software and limitations to this application. the main aim is to integrate ...

Resource depletion aspects are repeatedly used as an argument for a shift towards new battery technologies. However, whether serious shortages due to the increased demand for traction and stationary batteries can actually be expected is subject to an ongoing discussion. In order to identify the principal drivers of resource depletion for battery production, we assess different lithium-ion batte...

Isolating electronically conducting material from internal short circuits is a promising way to prevent the onset of thermal runaway within lithium-ion cells. Here, metal-coated polymer current collector, which designed disconnect by withdrawing heating region, tested in 18650 In addition having lower mass and manufacturing costs, cells with collectors demonstrate reduced risk during nail penet...

Lithium-oxygen chemistry offers the highest energy density for a rechargeable system as a "lithium-air battery". Most studies of lithium-air batteries have focused on demonstrating battery operations in pure oxygen conditions; such a battery should technically be described as a "lithium-dioxygen battery". Consequently, the next step for the lithium-"air" battery is to understand how the reactio...
