There is considerable interest in developing solid electrolytes for rechargeable lithium batteries as they have the potential to increase both energy d. due to incorporation of a lithium metal anode and safety of batteries due to the fact that they are non ...
Within the context of the electrical circuit modeling of batteries, this paper proposes an improvement of the most common electric equivalent circuit used for Lithium cells. The main improvement is based on the modeling of the so-called charge redistributi ...
Replacing the liq. electrolyte in lithium batteries by a solid has been a long-standing goal of the battery industry due to the promise of better safety and the potential to produce batteries with higher energy densities. Recently, sym. polystyrene-block-p ...
Solid state diffusion is a very complex mechanism and, up until recent studies, such properties had mainly been conducted by macroscopic methods that do not yield true material properties. This has been a major problem for materials development regarding e ...
Lithium-ion batteries provide the power for portable electronics and found many other interesting applications. It is desirable to design batteries with high energy density and long cycle life. Silicon is among the highest Li-storing anode materials in bat ...
Accurate models capable to predict the dynamic behavior and the State-of-Charge (SoC) of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESSs) is a key aspect for the definition of model-based controls in electric vehicles and in power grid applications of these energy s ...
The structural and electrochemical properties of a quaternary layered compound with elemental composition Mn2Sb3O6Cl have been investigated upon reaction with lithium in Li half cells. Operando XRD was used to investigate the potential impact of this parti ...
Chem. degrdn. at electrode/electrolyte interfaces in high-energy storage devices, such as Li-ion batteries, imposes durability challenges that affect their life and cost. In oxide electrodes, degrdn. is linked to the presence of redox active transition met ...
Some fundamental challenges are shaping the world we live in, and the need for alternative materials and energies is one of the most prominent issues of this century, especially in the light of global warming and energy need. Another crucial point concerns ...
The integration of inorg. nanocrystals as building units into mesoscale architectures yields materials whose structure is controllable on at., nano, and meso length scales providing a foundation for understanding how system-level functional properties emer ...
