A composite electrolyte based on a garnet (LLZO) and polyester-based co-polymer (80:20 ε-caprolactone (CL)-trimethylene carbonate, PCL-PTMC with LiTFSI salt) is prepared. Integrating the merits of both ceramic electrolytes expected to address poor ionic conductivity high interfacial resistance in solid-state lithium-ion batteries. The 80 wt % LLZO 20 polymer (PCL-PTMC lithium bis(trifluorometha...

In the present study, a model of a large Lithium Polymer (Li-Po) battery for use in the simulation of Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) is developed. To attain this goal, an Equivalent Circuit (EC) consisting of a series resistor and two RC parallel networks is considered. The accuracy and the response time of the model for use in an HEV simulator are studied. The battery parameters identifica...

As the core component of solid-state lithium-ion batteries (SSLIBs), bottleneck electrolyte is to achieve fast transport, high electrochemical stability, and mechanical flexibility. Polymer electrolytes offer possibility constructing with above features due their excellent molecular designability. This preview highlights novel mesogenic (or liquid crystal)-containing polymer (MPEs) exhibiting a...

lithium is a drug used for the treatment of bipolar disorder. it has several mechanisms of action, and recently it is shown that lithium can antagonize the 5-ht1b/1d serotonin receptors. sumatriptan is a 5-ht1b/1d receptor agonist used for the treatment of cluster headaches and migraine which might cause memory impairment as a potential side effect. in this study, effects of lithium on sumatrip...

hormone-independent prostate cancer cell lines are resistant to antineoplastic drugs, this study sought to determine the usefulness of lithium chloride as an inhibitor of glycogen synthase kinase-3β to increase the cytotoxic effect of doxorubicin, etoposide or vinblastine antineoplastic drugs on du145 cells. combination effect was assessed by using low and ic50 doses of drugs + lithium chloride...

Lithium-based battery technology offers performance advantages over traditional battery technologies at the cost of increased monitoring and controls overhead. Multiple-cell Lead-Acid battery packs can be equalized by a controlled overcharge, eliminating the need to periodically adjust individual cells to match the rest of the pack. Lithium-based based batteries cannot be equalized by an overch...
