The development of bifunctional electrocatalysts to overcome the slow kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR)/the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a significant challenge. Herein, Fe80-ZIF-67@CN, a CoFe alloy nitrogen-doped multilayer porous carbon electrocatalysts is designed and successful prepared, natural eggshell membrane (ESM) as precursor, Graphitic carbon nitride (G-C3N4) as nitrogen source, and a small amount of iron and cobalt salts as non-noble metal sources. Due to the synergistic effect between the CoFe alloy and FeNX, CoNX sites, the Fe80-ZIF-67@CN electrocatalysts display a half-wave potential (E1/2) of 0.86 V (ORR), an overpotential (Ej10) of 339 mV (OER), and a potential difference (∆E) of 0.71 V. In addition, the Tafel slopes for the ORR and OER are 90.36 mV dec−1 and 52.35 mV dec−1, respectively. More importantly, the Zn-air battery assembled with Fe80-ZIF-67@CN exhibits a large power density of 126.47 mW cm−2, the open circuit voltage (OCP) of 1.54 V and excellent stability without significant voltage changes even after 176 h, which are superior to that of 20 % Pt/C + RuO2. This work paves a new design option for oxygen electrocatalysts for zinc-air batteries.

The low rate performance and limited energy density prevent hybrid supercapacitors (HSCs) from being used much further. Herein, a straightforward two-step procedure is used to create the rate-enhanced NiC2O4/NiCoB composites, which are composed of NiC2O4 nanorods and NiCoB. At the current density of 1 A g−1, the NiC2O4/NiCoB electrode provides a high specific capacitance of 624C g−1. The introduction of the NiCoB outer layer significantly enhances the electron transport capability and accelerates the ion/electron transfer rate. This design effectively addresses the inherently poor rate performance of NiC2O4 (with only 32.5 % capacity retention at a high current density of 10 A g−1). With the NiCoB outer coating, the capacity retention is remarkably improved to 85.7 % at the current density of 10 A g−1. The incorporation of the coating structure fundamentally resolves the issue of poor high-rate performance in the material. Therefore, based on the NiC2O4/NiCoB as the positive electrode and activated carbon (AC) as the negative electrode, NiC2O4/NiCoB||AC HSC is assembled. With the maximum potential window of 1.6 V, this HSC exhibits an energy density of 47.4 Wh kg−1 and a power density of 881.47 W kg−1. The innovative design of crystalline-amorphous double nickel-based composites offers an advanced and straightforward approach to enhancing the electron/ion transport kinetics in nickel-based materials, enabling the construction of high-performance HSCs.

The reliability and safety of lithium-ion batteries due to the complex interaction of degradation mechanisms lead to battery aging and faults with substantial hazards. This will increase the difficulty in precisely estimating the state of health (SOH) to ensure efficient management. To overcome SOH complexity, this work investigates the application of genetic programming (GP) to identify battery degradation and forecast SOH. GP is powerful but faces the challenges of creating accurate and robust models that can handle the nonlinear and dynamic nature by balancing model complexity. Additionally, GP's adaptability to battery usage and sensitivity to parameter selection must be carefully considered. Despite these challenges, GP can create sophisticated, data-driven models, making it a promising SOH estimation tool. Henceforth, a model selection criterion genetic programming (MSC-GP) approach has been proposed to address these issues. The investigation evaluates the effect of objective functions (OFs) on algorithm performance through rigorous key statistical metrics. Furthermore, it demonstrates the significant influence that the choice of OFs has on the model's performance, emphasizing the algorithm's potential for accurate battery health assessment. The results unequivocally show that the MSC-GP algorithm is more effective at recognizing the aging state of lithium-ion batteries compared to artificial neural network (ANN) and Gaussian progress regression (GPR). Although the initial findings are encouraging, additional research is required to tackle the multifaceted deprivation associated with accurately predicting battery life.

Due to the widespread usage of energy consumption, there is an increasing need for energy at a global scale. Supercapacitors have been a better choice lately because of their high-power density, rapid charging and discharging, and prolonged cycle life. Several electrode materials have been studied thus far to enhance the performance of the supercapacitor. In recent times, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have gained popularity as active electrode material for supercapacitors owing to their interesting structure, better stability, larger surface area, more active sites, and high electrical conductivity. Among various TMDCs, MoS2 has gained interest as an electrode material due to its amazing characteristics such as being rich in active sites, honeycomb structure, increased ionic and electronic conductivity, and increased surface area. The current article mainly focuses on various synthesis methods for Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). Furthermore, pure MoS2 and its composite with carbon-based material, conducting polymer-based materials, metal oxides, carbides, and nitrides have been utilized to improve the performance of supercapacitors discussed. In the last section, future perspectives and challenges are discussed.

Charge/discharge performance of all-solid-state lithium ion batteries (LIBs) is not yet high, compared to those for conventional liquid-type LIBs, which is mainly due to the imperfect joining of solid electrolyte and electrodes. To promote the interfacial lithium ion transfer among the solids, in this study, the nearly saturated and non-flammable electrolyte solutions were incorporated into an interspace among the solids to obtain quasi-solid-state Si|LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811) batteries. The Si negative- and NCM811 positive-electrodes were separated with a solid electrolyte sheet, and hence two different electrolyte solutions were used for each electrode. The nearly saturated electrolyte solutions suitable for each electrode and the solid electrolyte were designed, and 30 mAh-class quasi-solid-state pouch cells were fabricated using them. The improved safety and charge/discharge performance demonstrated the feasibility of quasi-solid-state batteries as a near-future technology.

Lithium-ion batteries' state of health (SOH) is a prominent issue for consumers. However, the complex work condition renders conventional SOH estimation methods ineffective in photovoltaic-storage power stations (PVPS). This paper proposed two health indicators calculation methods and a data augmentation method based on the application law of batterie in PVPS. Firstly, the voltage-cycle frequency and voltage distribution are calculated to identify the voltage plateau period from the continuous operation data. The voltage of similar energy and stair-step voltage were separated from the plateau period. Then the coulombs were calculated as health indicators based on two voltage features. Finally, the pseudo-health indicators were predicted based on the test set and augmentation model. The pseudo-health indicators were added in the test set to restore the past state of the continuity algorithms. Experiments show that the correlation coefficients of two health indicators are greater than 0.87. It confirmed their robust aging characterization capability under the PVPS condition. The accuracy of the six RNNs has been significantly improved under different numbers of pseudo-health indicators. Especially, the optimal result shows that the mean absolute percentage error is 0.204 %, while the root mean square error is 0.265 %. Through multiple validation and comparison, the precision and versatility of this study are confirmed, which provides support for large-capacity lithium‑iron-phosphate (LFP) battery applications in PVPS.

The hybrid-type of supercapacitors based on transition metal sulfides-carbon composite electrodes are found to be a prominent and emerging technological advancement with beneficial characteristics such as a larger surface area, high durability, and a unique charge storage mechanism. In this work, phase pure copper tin sulfide (Cu2SnS3/CTS) nanoparticles (NPs) and the nanocomposite of CTS NPs decorated graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) CTS-gCN were prepared by an inexpensive solvothermal approach. The CTS-gCN nanocomposite-based supercapacitors show a high specific capacitance of 477 F/g at 1 A g−1 current density, which is much higher than the pristine CTS NPs based supercapacitors (362 F/g) in three electrode configurations. The asymmetric hybrid supercapacitors were prepared with CTS-gCN electrodes and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as a negative electrode with potassium hydroxide (KOH) as an electrolyte. The electrochemical characteristics of asymmetric CTS-gCN//rGO supercapacitors exhibit battery-like behavior with a specific capacitance of 108 F/g at the scan rate of 1 A g−1 with a high energy density of 42 W h kg−1 and a power density of 835.4 W kg−1. The CTS-gCN//rGO supercapacitors show excellent capacitance retention over 94 % even after 2000 cycles. The obtained electrochemical results of the supercapacitors with high energy density, power density, wider potential window, and cyclic stability suggest the CTS-gCN//rGO hybrid supercapacitors as a promising candidate for emerging electrochemical energy storage technologies.

Thermal energy storage systems open up considerable potentials for flexibility due to their time-decoupled operation. This allows a balance between fluctuating energy generation and consumption, thus improvements in efficiency and stability of energy infrastructures. Sensible thermal storage systems are particularly suitable for large-scale applications, whereby solid - regenerators - or liquid salt-based solutions are used depending on the application. In the case of regenerators with packed beds or channel-shaped inventory options, thermal energy is stored by a cyclically moving thermocline, resulting in time-variable outlet temperatures during charging and discharging. These transient characteristics significantly increase the systemic integration requirements: cyclical propagation of thermal inertia at downstream components, restrictions with regard to an optimum operating point, complex simulations and increased control effort. Based on these challenges, a new solid media storage system is presented which achieves - analogous to liquid salt systems - constant outlet temperatures during charging and discharging. The basic idea is to add bypass paths, which guide a part of the incoming mass flows around the storage system and reunite them with the main flows at the respective outlets. This allows constant outlet temperatures by temporal adjusting the mass flow distribution. Investigations into such bypass concepts ideally require analytical models of system-relevant storage characteristics as a function of central dimensioning values. Based on a theoretical derivation, a dimensionless model was developed for this purpose, which was converted into a correlation for solid media storage systems with and without a bypass option. For the first time, it is now possible to perform direct, correlation-based design calculations of system-relevant storage characteristics in the cyclic equilibrium. Comparative calculations with numerical simulation results confirm the good agreement and also show that the mixing-related exergy losses for storage systems with a bypass option are accompanied by a proportionally lower dimensioning requirement. The correlation-based design tool presented here opens up a new path to investigate solid media storages with and without bypass option, which significantly facilitates storage-supported simulations for future techno-economic evaluations of the technology.
