Summary: This study investigates the mechanical response of a battery separator and its impact on battery performance. Simulating the displacement and pore pressure of the separator under different charge/compression rates, it is found that the stress-strain curve of the separator exhibits a wave pattern in the fully dynamic model, while this phenomenon is not observed in the quasi-static model. The maximum displacement and pore pressure increase with the compression rate, and the pore pressure fluctuates during compression in the fully dynamic model.

Summary: The study found that the state of charge of the battery affects its thermal runaway behavior, with higher SOC leading to shorter voltage drop and TR time, as well as increased TR temperature and intensity. The TR behavior of the batteries also varies under different pressures, attributed to differences in oxygen content and heat transfer efficiency.

Summary: This paper examines the performance of a battery pack consisting of three cylindrical lithium-ion batteries enclosed in Phase Change Material. The study focuses on the effect of different fin arrangements on the temperature of the battery cells, the volume fraction of PCM, and the heat transfer coefficient. The results show that using narrower fins can reduce the maximum temperature of the battery pack and enhance the heat transfer coefficient, but it also increases the amount of liquid PCM.

Summary: This study investigates the thermal management of a plate battery using phase change material (PCM) and nanofluids (NFs) flow simulations. The findings indicate that increasing the number of tubes inside the PCM reduces the volume fraction of molten PCM (VFMPC) and the maximum temperature of the battery (T-MX). Additionally, enhancing the velocity of the NFs decreases the maximum T-MX.

The AIPSe@G anodes achieve high specific capacity, excellent cycle stability, and rate capability in both lithium-ion (LIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). The comprehensive full cell tests further demonstrate the stability of AIPSe@G anodes under diverse current regimes.

Summary: In the context of increasing global environmental pollution and constant increase of carbon emission, hydrogen production from surplus renewable energy and hydrogen transportation using existing natural gas pipelines are effective means to mitigate renewable energy fluctuation, build a decarbonized gas network, and achieve the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutral in China. This paper proposes a quasi-steady-state modeling method of a hydrogen blended integrated electricity-gas system (HBIEGS) considering gas linepack and a sequential second-order cone programming (S-SOCP) method to solve the developed model. The results show that the proposed method improves computational efficiency by 91% compared with a general nonlinear solver.

Summary: This paper introduces a novel multi-task learning data-driven model called GBLS Booster for accurately assessing the state of health (SOH) and remaining useful life (RUL) of lithium batteries. The model combines the strengths of GBLS and the CNN-Transformers algorithm-based Booster, and the Tree-structured Parzen Estimator (TPE) algorithm is used for optimization. The study devises 10 healthy indicators (HIs) derived from readily available sensor data to capture variations in battery SOH. The random forest method (RF) is employed for feature refinement and data dimension reduction, while the complete empirical mode decomposition (CEEMDAN) method and the Pearson correlation coefficient are used for noise reduction and data point elimination in RUL prediction. The proposed model demonstrates exceptional accuracy, robustness, and generalization capabilities.
