The rapid development of new vehicles and portable electronics has continuously pressured advanced renewable energy-storage technologies to deliver exceptional energy-power outputs and long lifetimes. Hybrid supercapacitors attract attention owing to their outstanding power density, high specific capacitance, and excellent cycling stability. In this study, two-dimensional (2D) g-C3N4 nanosheets and 3D CoSe2 hierarchical microflower heterojunction electrodes were synthesized using a facile hydrothermal preparation method, and their electrochemical performances were evaluated. Surface morphology analysis demonstrated that the g-C3N4 nanosheets were well-dispersed on the CoSe2 hierarchical microflower surface. The interstitial contact between CoSe2 and g-C3N4 effectively narrowed the bandgap energy, enhanced the electrical conductivity, and improved the electrochemical properties. Electrochemical analysis indicated rapid reaction kinetics and significant energy-storage capacity for the CoSe2/g-C3N4 heterojunction electrode. Notably, the CoSe2/g-C3N4 heterojunction electrode achieved a specific capacitance of 1024.4 F/g at 1 A/g. The assembled CoSe2/g-C3N4 heterojunction hybrid supercapacitor device exhibited a high energy (62 Wh/kg), high power density (775 W/kg), and remarkable lifespan after 10,000 cycles. The developed electrode is promising for energy-related device applications.

Herein, we report the development of polymer nanocomposite electrolyte films tailored for advanced Li-ion battery applications. By incorporating copper/lithium titanate oxide nanoparticles (Cu/Li4Ti5O12 NPs) into a polyvinyl alcohol/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVA/PVP) blend, we achieved significant enhancements in both ionic and electrical conductivity. The incorporation of Cu boosts the electrical pathways within the polymer matrix, thereby reducing internal resistance and enhancing the overall conductivity. Simultaneously, Li4Ti5O12 acts as an additional source of Li ions, further elevating ionic transport within the electrolyte. Comprehensive analyses via dielectric and impedance spectroscopy confirmed the influence of Cu/Li4Ti5O12 NPs on improving charge storage and transfer capabilities while minimizing electrode polarization across a wide frequency range. These enhancements are attributed to the homogenous distribution of NPs, as validated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the adjusted crystalline characteristics confirmed via X-ray diffraction, leading to increased amorphous regions that support better ion mobility. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) also confirms NP-matrix interactions, altering polymer chain dynamics. Besides, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) indicates increased thermal stability. The results indicate the promising capabilities of these nanocomposite films as efficient solid polymer electrolytes, capable of supporting faster charge-discharge cycles and ensuring enhanced performance and stability in Li-ion batteries.

The effectiveness of the irida-graphene monolayer for ion storage in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) is evaluated using density functional theory. The nanolayer possesses a stable structure both dynamically and thermally, along with dependable mechanical properties. The density of states and band structure computations confirmed the excellent conductivity of the monolayer. The storage capacity and energy density have been assessed at 1116.7 mAhg−1, and 2854.9 mWhg−1 respectively, for Na-ion batteries. Additionally, the small energy barrier of 0.079 eV and heightened diffusion rate of 2.83 x 10−4 cm2s−1 for Na ions indicate their easy migration across the surface of the nanolayer during the complete cycle. Furthermore, the open circuit voltage obtained 0.15 V for SIBs, is consistent with the commercial design requirements. Based on the theoretical investigation, irida-graphene clearly demonstrates excellent potential as a superior electrode for next-generation SIBs.

Inconsistency between cells can seriously damage the overall performance of the battery pack and even cause safety accidents. An inconsistency evaluation model oriented to real-world vehicles is necessary owing to the contribution to battery management and maintenance. This paper proposes a comprehensive inconsistency evaluation strategy based on improved local outlier factor (ImLOF) algorithm and fuzzy matrix. Battery cell voltage is used as the basis for evaluation, and the abnormal rate distribution of each cell is analyzed by the established cell anomaly detection model. Each cell is set as an evaluation indicator to assess the state of inconsistency of the whole battery pack based on a fuzzy matrix and evaluation factor. The evaluation strategy is validated by full life cycle data from a real-world vehicle, and the results show that the proposed method can be effectively applied to evaluate the inconsistency of battery packs in real vehicles.

The introduction of porous matrix in shape stable phase change materials (PCMs) alters the phase transition behavior of confined molecules. The mechanism by which the matrix affects the thermophysical properties of composite PCMs is still unclear, even there are conflicting understandings of the same phenomenon. According to this, paraffin/Kevlar nanofibrous films (PF/KNF) with different PF contents were fabricated by one step self-assembly method to comprehensively evaluate the regulation of confinement effects on the thermophysical properties and crystallization kinetics of confined PCMs. Due to the strong self-assembly tendency of Kevlar nanofibers in proton environment, paraffin passively wrapped in the network of matrix, forming a sandwich layered structure. The confinement of matrix altered the crystal structure of paraffin, even leading to the amorphous states in films with lower paraffin content. It also leaded to the formation of a non-melting layer at host-guest interface, thereby reducing the latent heat of composite PCMs. The latent heat of PF/KNF-70, the film with the highest paraffin content without leakage, decreased by about 32.7 % compared to the theoretical enthalpy calculated based on the mass percentage of paraffin in composite. In addition, the percentage of non-phase transition layer decreased linearly with the increase of PF content. The results of crystalline dynamics indicate that the matrix plays a dual role in providing nucleation sites and inhibiting molecular motion. When crystallization occurs at higher temperature (48.8 °C in this study), providing nucleation sites and promoting crystallization dominated the process, while inhibiting molecular motion and reducing crystallization rate become more prominent when crystallization temperature decreases.

This study selected granite with thermal storage potential for heat treatment and fatigue loading tests. First, the differences in fatigue mechanical properties of the samples were compared. Then, based on the b-value theory and AF-RA classification model, the kernel density estimation and gradient descent algorithm were used to analyze the growth scale and the proportion change of tensile-shear cracks. Based on the critical slowing-down theory, an early warning index of fatigue failure was proposed. Finally, the thermal damage mechanism was discussed on multiple scales by using a polarizing microscope, scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis technology, and a fatigue damage model was established. Our laboratory work shows that temperature has a staged influence mechanism on granite samples under fatigue loading. As the temperature increases, the strength, modulus, and fatigue life of heat-treated samples will show a staged evolution law of strengthening-weakening-accelerated weakening. The proportion of shear cracks inside the sample decreases first and then increases, and the development time of fatigue failure shortens first and then prolongs. The staged thermal decomposition process and microstructural changes of minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica are the main reasons for the staged influence mechanism of temperature. In addition, the fatigue damage curve of the heat-treated granite sample is an inverted S-shaped, which can be divided into three stages: initial damage -stable damage -accelerated damage. The hysteresis curves formed by the samples with a larger proportion of shear cracks are sparser. The appearance of a large number of shear cracks can be used as a precursor indicator of rock fatigue failure. The early warning index proposed in this paper provides new ideas for understanding and predicting the disaster behavior of thermal storage rock mass engineering under fatigue disturbance.
本研究选择了具有蓄热潜力的花岗岩进行热处理和疲劳加载试验。首先,比较了样品疲劳力学性能的差异。然后,基于 b 值理论和 AF-RA 分类模型,利用核密度估计和梯度下降算法分析了拉剪裂纹的生长规模和比例变化。基于临界减速理论,提出了疲劳失效的预警指标。最后,利用偏光显微镜、扫描电子显微镜和热重分析技术对热损伤机理进行了多尺度探讨,并建立了疲劳损伤模型。我们的实验室工作表明,温度对疲劳加载下的花岗岩样品具有分阶段的影响机制。随着温度的升高,热处理样品的强度、模量和疲劳寿命将呈现出强化-削弱-加速削弱的阶段性演变规律。试样内部剪切裂纹的比例先减小后增大,疲劳破坏的发展时间先缩短后延长。石英、长石和云母等矿物的阶段性热分解过程和微观结构变化是温度阶段性影响机制的主要原因。此外,热处理花岗岩样品的疲劳损伤曲线呈倒 "S "形,可分为三个阶段:初始损伤-稳定损伤-加速损伤。剪切裂纹比例较大的试样形成的滞后曲线较为稀疏。大量剪切裂缝的出现可作为岩石疲劳破坏的前兆指标。本文提出的预警指标为理解和预测疲劳扰动下蓄热岩体工程的灾害行为提供了新思路。

Nitrate molten salts for heat storage play a crucial role in modern energy technologies such as concentrated solar power (CSP), but the influence of impurity chloride ions on nitrate molten salts requires further investigation. This article reports the solid-liquid-vapor phase diagram, thermophysical properties, and thermal stability of sodium/potassium nitrate system with impact of chloride ion impurity. Based on Common Ion Solvent (CIS) theory, a modified thermodynamic model and computational method for solid-liquid-vapor phase equilibrium in a binary system containing impurity ions are developed and validated. The results indicate that with the increase of chloride content, there is little change in the composition of the lowest melting and highest boiling points, but the temperature significantly decreases. Adding 3.0 mol% KCl reduced the lowest liquid phase temperature by 4.57 °C and the highest boiling temperature by 13.26 °C. Density increases with impurities, while specific heat and thermal conductivity decrease; correlations with temperature and ion concentration are established. Thermal conductivity drops by 5.59 % with 3.0 mol% KCl, because the short-range ordered vibrations of ions are disrupted by impurity ions. Experimental analysis of short-term and long-term thermal stability of systems containing impurity indicates that chloride ion impurity can increase the evaporation rate of salt due to higher vapor pressure but reduce thermal decomposition of nitrate.

Supercapacitors have wide-ranging utility in many commercial energy applications. However, despite the remarkable features, researchers are still facing serious challenges regarding the charge-storing potential of these devices. In the current research work, we mainly paid attention to the materials having high porosity and larger surface area, as these features make them electrochemically ideal supercapacitor materials with greater energy-storage potential. For this purpose, titanium oxide (TiO2), scandium-doped TiO2 (ScTi), and N-rGO-doped ScTi (ScTi/N-rGO) nanostructures are efficiently synthesized through simple sol-gel and hydrothermal method. Electrochemical results show that ultra-capacitors based on ScTi/N-rGO electrodes have the highest specific capacitance (Csp) ScTi/N-rGO with 1595.37 Fg−1 at 1 A/g. Dunn's model is used to assess the relative contributions of faradic and non-faradic processes in electrochemical reactions and their results showed that the prior operating system is larger than the later one that delineated the battery-grade nature of doped ScTi/N-rGO. Additionally, two electrode symmetric analyses depicted Csp 998.56 F g−1 at 1 Ag−1 and retained 88.92 % capacity after 6000 cycles. Thus, the results of this work also unveil that the electrochemical performance of the optimized ScTi/N-rGO nanocomposites is linked with the two prime factors entailing the optimization of N-rGO and scandium doping. Furthermore, it upsurges the TiO2 conductivity as well as enhances the structural porosity which in turn increases the specific surface area. Thus, it is concluded that findings could be potential enough to indicate the vast array of possible electrochemical usage of synthesized porous ScTi/ N-rGO nanostructures.

Additionally, two electrode symmetric analyses depicted Csp 998.56 F g<sup>−1</sup> at 1 Ag<sup>−1</sup> and retained 88.92 % capacity after 6000 cycles. Thus, the results of this work also unveil that the electrochemical performance of the optimized ScTi/N-rGO nanocomposites is linked with the two prime factors entailing the optimization of N-rGO and scandium doping. Furthermore, it upsurges the TiO<sub>2</sub> conductivity as well as enhances the structural porosity which in turn increases the specific surface area. Thus, it is concluded that findings could be potential enough to indicate the vast array of possible electrochemical usage of synthesized porous ScTi/ N-rGO nanostructures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of energy storage","volume":"104 ","pages":"Article 114576"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142662750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to ensure the normal operation of power batteries in very high temperature environment (T0 = 35 °C), a new battery thermal management system (BTMS) is developed in this paper. An innovative combination of non-isometric flow channels and a bottom return box is used to simultaneously enhance the heat transfer in the dense heat-producing zone at the top of the cell and to strengthen the temperature uniformity of the BTMS. Comparative studies of coolant input, isometric and non-isometric flow channels were designed, and orthogonal experimental designs for multi-objective optimization of the BTMS were conducted with maximum temperature (Tmax), mean temperature (Tave), maximum temperature difference (ΔTmax), flow loss (ΔP) and entropy generation (sg) as the objective functions, respectively. The results show that the BTMS with return flow has an enhanced cooling performance and temperature uniformity compared with the pure liquid cooling system. The Tmax and Tave of the BTMS at the optimal working point are 30.28 °C and 29.17 °C, respectively. Compared with the pure liquid cooling BTMS at the same flow rate, they are reduced by 1.72 °C and 1.69 °C, respectively, and the ΔTmax is reduced by 20.8 %. Compared with the BTMS with the strongest cooling performance operating point, the ΔTmax of the BTMS at the optimal operating point increased by about 0.24 °C, but the ΔP decreased from 62.86 Pa to 36.22 Pa, decreasing by 42.38 %.

(1-x)(Ba0.75Sr0.1Bi0.1)(Ti0.9Zr0.1)O3-x(Sb0.5Li0.5)TiO3 (BSBiTZ-xSLT, x = 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1) ceramic thick films were prepared via film scaping process. The decrease of tetragonal, rhombohedral and orthogonal phases and the appearance of cubic phase in the BSBiTZ-xSLT ceramic thick films strengthen the ferroelectricity and weaken the relaxation characteristic with the increase of SLT doping amount. For the BSBiTZ-0.025SLT ceramic thick film, fine grain size of 0.86 μm, excellent uniformity of grain distribution, low porosity, larger bandgap of 2.44 eV and grain boundary resistance of 153 kΩ reinforce the breakdown field up to 350 kV/cm. Doping SLT, domain engineering and defect engineering successfully reduce the remnant polarization and improve the relaxation ferroelectric characteristic with the obvious frequency dispersion, wide peak of the dielectric constant extending to ∼120 °C with fluctuation <10 %, and low dielectric loss of <0.1. In the BSBiTZ-0.025SLT ceramic thick film, the highest recoverable energy storage density (Wrec = 1.92 J/cm3), larger energy storage efficiency (η = 88.32 %), pulse energy storage performance (Wd = 1.48 J/cm3), current density (CD = 743.09 A/cm2) and power density (PD = 130.04 MW/cm3) are achieved under 350 kV/cm. The excellent energy storage performance combined with the excellent temperature stability and fatigue resistance provide the good development prospect as a lead-free BT-based ceramic dielectric capacitor in high-power pulse energy storage system.
