Summary: This paper investigates the effects of different current rates on OCV tests and their impact on SoC estimation algorithms. The results show that the OCV-SoC curve obtained from the 0.5C incremental OCV test performs best at 25 degrees C and 45 degrees C, while the 0.2C incremental OCV test performs best at 0 degrees C. Additionally, a 3-hour relaxation time is optimal at higher temperatures, while a 4-hour relaxation time is recommended at 0 degrees C.

Summary: An important component of electric vehicles is the Battery Management System (BMS), which is responsible for monitoring the state of charge (SoC) of the battery, a crucial factor in the vehicle's autonomy. This paper proposes the use of receding-horizon strategies, specifically Moving-Horizon State Estimation (MHSE) and Neural Network Moving-Horizon Estimation (NNMHE), for accurate SoC estimation. MHSE utilizes a constrained optimization problem with a larger observation window, while NNMHE employs a neural network to emulate the optimization solver, resulting in faster and approximate results. The effectiveness of this approach is validated with experimental data, achieving a coefficient of determination of almost 99% and a processing time reduction of about 20 times, making it suitable for embedded systems with limited computational resources.

Summary: Recently, non-invasive ultrasonic-based detection has been proven to be an accurate and efficient tool for estimating the state-of-charge (SOC) and state-of-health (SOH) of lithium-ion batteries. However, the current non-invasive methods are highly sensitive to experimental setups and conditions, resulting in unpredictable and unstable results. A new approach using quantified change of ultrasonic damping has been discovered to correlate with the SOC of batteries, providing a more fundamental understanding of wave propagation.

Summary: The purpose of this study is to explore the potential and limitations of first-generation electric aviation technology, and emphasize Norway's geographical advantages and unique regional network. Electric flight distances of up to 400 km could cover 77% of all flights within Norway. There is limited research on the suitability of battery-powered all-electric aviation in such scenarios, making Norway an ideal case study location. Key factors such as battery technologies, propulsion systems, aircraft designs, and flight profiles are investigated to evaluate the feasibility of specific routes in terms of power, energy, and battery size. A case study of different flight distances in Norway (77-392 km) and two aircraft types (one retrofitted with electric powertrain and one specifically designed for electric drivetrain) is presented. While the completely redesigned aircraft meets the power requirements of the routes, modest improvements in battery energy density would enable retrofitting of existing aircraft. The study concludes that operating small electric aircraft (with 9-39 passengers) on short-haul flights in Norway is feasible through new designs or retrofitting.

Summary: In this study, thermal conductivities of pristine and degraded electrodes from commercial lithium-ion batteries were measured under different conditions. The effect of degradation on thermal transport was assessed, and the overall cell cooling efficiency was reported. The reduction in electrode thermal conductivity was found to be up to 65%, with the highest decrease observed in dry graphite anodes. Mechanical clamping and cold temperatures were found to mitigate the reduction in thermal conductivity, while decreased wetting and reduction of electrolyte solvent were identified as the main causes for decreased cell cooling efficiency and full cell thermal conductivity.

Summary: The cost and environmental impact of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) can be reduced by using water as a solvent and bio-derived kraft lignin as a binder material to fabricate high-density, thick NMC111 cathode coatings. The performance deterioration at high discharge currents is amplified by high mass loading and low bulk porosity. Lithium-ion diffusion limitation at current densities higher than 0.2 C is mitigated by creating line structures on the cathode surface.

Summary: This study explores the possibility of using abundant, bio-derived kraft lignin as a binder to replace or partially replace commonly used PVDF and CMC binders in water-based processing of Ni-containing LiNixMn1-x-yCoyO2 cathodes. The results show that comparable specific capacities to NMP/PVDF-based cathodes can be achieved with lignin or CMC/lignin as binder materials. Kraft lignin undergoes a redox reaction with the electrolyte, but its binding abilities to carbon and its thermal stability make it a promising alternative binder material for aqueous processing of high capacity cathodes.
