Rapid electrification of the transport system will generate substantial volumes Lithium-ion-battery (LiB) waste as batteries reach their end-of-life. Much attention focuses on recycling processes, neglecting a broader systemic view that considers concentration costs and impacts associated with logistics transportation. This paper provides an economic, environmental geospatial analysis future Li...

The thermal management system of batteries plays a significant role in the operation electric vehicles (EVs). purpose this study is to survey various parameters enhancing performance heat pipe-based battery (HP-BTMS) for cooling lithium-ion (LIBs), including ambient temperature, coolant flow rate, generation start-up time, inclination angle pipe, and length condenser/evaporator section. This re...

Energy harvesting and storage are the two most important energy technologies developed for portable, sustainable, and self-sufficient power sources for mobile electronic systems. However, both have limitations for providing stable direct-current (DC) with an infinite lifetime. Herein, we integrated a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG)-based mechanical energy harvester with Li-ion-battery (LIB)-...

In this research, inorganic material type and content influence on coating of commercially available polypropylene (PP) separator were studied for improving its performance and safety as lithium ion battery separator. Heat-resistant nanopowders of Al2O3, SiO2 and ZrO2 were coated using polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) binder. Coating effects on the separators morphology, wettability, high tempera...

Recently, intensive efforts are dedicated to convert and store the solar energy in a single device. Herein, dye-synthesized solar cell technology is combined with lithium-ion materials to investigate light-assisted battery charging. In particular we report the direct photo-oxidation of lithium iron phosphate nanocrystals in the presence of a dye as a hybrid photo-cathode in a two-electrode syst...

In order to reduce the amount of inactive materials, such as binders and carbon additives in battery electrode, porous cobalt monoxide nanofibers were directly grown on conductive substrate as a binder/additive-free lithium-ion battery anode. This electrode exhibited very high specific discharging/charging capacities at various rates and good cycling stability. It was promising as high capacity...

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanofibers have been widely applied in various fields including photocatalysis, energy storage and solar cells due to the advantages of low cost, high abundance and nontoxicity. However, the low conductivity of ions and bulk electrons hinder its rapid development in lithium-ion batteries (LIB). In order to improve the electrochemical performances of TiO2 nanomaterials as...

Sodium ion secondary battery (SIB) is a low-cost and ubiquitous secondary battery for next-generation large-scale energy storage. The diffusion process of large Na(+) (ionic radius is 1.12 Å), however, is considered to be slower than that of small Li(+) (0.76 Å). This would be a serious disadvantage of SIB as compared with the Lithium ion secondary battery (LIB). By means of the electrochemical...

The thermal runaway (TR) behavior and combustion hazards of lithium-ion battery (LIB) packs directly determine the implementation firefighting flame-retardants in energy storage systems. This work studied TR propagation process dangers large-scale LIB by experimental methods. pack consisted twenty-four 60 Ah (192 Wh) LIBs with LiFePO4 (LFP) as cathode material. Flame performance, temperature, s...
