In recent years, with the rapid development of lithium battery and energy storage industry, lithium-ion/lithium batteries have received extensive attention applications in high-power, portable household power [...]

Beyond state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery (LIB) technology with metallic lithium anodes to replace conventional ion intercalation anode materials is highly desirable because of lithium's highest specific capacity (3,860 mA/g) and lowest negative electrochemical potential (∼3.040 V vs. the standard hydrogen electrode). In this work, we report for the first time, to our knowledge, a 3D lithium-...

Based on a low cost multi-switched inductor balancing circuit (MSIBC), a fuzzy logic (FL) controller is proposed to improve the balancing performances of lithium-ion battery packs instead of an existing proportional-integral (PI) controller. In the proposed FL controller, a cell’s open circuit voltages (OCVs) and their differences in the pack are used as the inputs, and the output of the FL con...

The microstructure of lithium-ion battery electrodes has a major influence on the performance and durability of lithium-ion batteries. In this paper, an overview of a general framework for the simulation of battery electrode microstructures is presented. A multistep approach is used for the generation of such particle-based materials. First, a ‘host lattice’ for the coarse structure of the mate...
