Summary: A liquid cooling system based on constructal canopy-to-canopy architectures is proposed for efficient thermal management of electric vehicle battery packs. The system can effectively extract the non-uniformly generated heat by the battery cell during the discharging phase. The configuration of the cooling solution is predicted following the constructal methodology, leading to the choice of the hydraulic diameter ratios.

Summary: This study experimentally investigates the degradation of electric vehicle lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) at different temperatures and discharge rates, and proposes a new degradation model to more accurately predict the capacity degradation of EV LIBs. The research reveals that the available capacity of LIBs transiently increases with the increase of charge-discharge cycles during the initial stage of battery use. Temperature has a significant impact on the available capacity of LIBs, and alternating changes in ambient temperature can accelerate the degradation of LIBs. The proposed degradation model exhibits higher prediction accuracy compared to the traditional model.

Summary: A shearing-force-driven strategy was proposed to re-exfoliate waste MXene residue and prepare oxidatively stable MXene composites in a low-cost manner. The strong shear stress in assisted solvents acts on the surface of MXene, resulting in rapid and efficient exfoliation. The formed coordinate bond helps stabilize the low-valent Ti atoms on the surface of MXene and improves its oxidative stability, leading to enhanced real-world applications of MXene-based materials.
