However, conventional photovoltaic (PV)-based EV charging systems often suffer from intermittency, storage inefficiencies, and limited integration with the power grid, leading to increased operational costs and reduced sustainability. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a hybrid energy management (EM) framework that integrates a Pelican Optimization Algorithm (POA) and a Triple-Memristor Hopfield Neural Network (TMHNN) for optimizing Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) operations in PV-powered EV charging systems. POA is employed to optimize power flow (PF) and storage scheduling, while TMHNN accurately forecasts energy demand, enabling dynamic coordination between PV generation, energy storage, and EV charging. Simulation results demonstrate that the suggested POA-TMHNN approach significantly reduces the cost of energy (COE) to $0.0841/kWh and carbon emissions to 173 956 kg, outperforming benchmark methods such as Particle Swarm Optimization with Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (PSO-ANFIS), Chicken Search Optimization with Spike Neural Network (CSA-SNN), Multiobjective Gray Wolf Optimization (MOGWO), Giant Trevally Tunicate Swarm Optimizer (GTTSO), and Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO) approaches.

Conventional flexible zinc-air batteries typically employ a sandwich-style assembly. This configuration relies on simple interfacial adhesion between the electrode and electrolyte, failing to establish robust integration. Consequently, the layers experience relative slippage during mechanical stress, leading to three critical failure modes: elevated interfacial resistance, catalyst delamination, and compromised structural integrity during operation. The acceleration of the diffusion process, in conjunction with the reduction of interfacial high resistance, is instrumental in enhancing the electrochemical performance of the battery. In this study, we propose a fully hydrogel-integrated flexible zinc-air battery (ZAB), where both the electrolyte and air electrode consist of hydrogel substrates. The PVA hydrogel enhances interfacial adhesion, minimizes interfacial resistance, facilitates electron transport, and improves the battery's electrochemical performance. A PVA all-hydrogel flexible zinc-air battery containing 15% monomer has a cycling stability of 34 h and a high round-trip efficiency. This pouch hydrogel battery maintains a high-voltage output when folded to 135°, powering a wide range of microelectronic devices. It demonstrates excellent electrochemical performance under the conditions of repeated mechanical deformation. With its integrated gel electrolyte, the ZAB battery delivers efficient energy supply across diverse electronic systems. Its exceptional electrochemical stability and mechanical adaptability to bending deformations position it as a promising candidate for next-generation flexible and wearable technologies.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":11765,"journal":{"name":"Energy Storage","volume":"7 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144782263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conventional shapes like rectangular or cylindrical enclosures do not effectively optimize heat transfer and phase change processes. Selecting a curved-quadrilateral sector as the encapsulation shape addresses these issues by enhancing heat transfer efficiency, promoting uniform melting, and optimizing the phase change process. Experimental validation confirms model accuracy, demonstrating minimal discrepancies between predicted and observed data. The results reveal that increasing the inclination angle leads to longer melting fraction durations.

We provide a focused analysis of their unique structural features, inherent ring strain, electronic properties, and functional versatility that make them intriguing candidates for advanced energy materials. The discussion highlights key research questions and the methodologies being employed to address them. Oxetanes have demonstrated notable success in organic photovoltaics (OPVs), where their incorporation, often via cross-linking strategies, has led to documented enhancements in light absorption, charge transport, morphological stability, and overall device longevity, contributing to improved power conversion efficiencies. In contrast, the exploration of thietanes and phosphetanes in battery technologies, particularly for stabilizing electrolytes in lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries or as components in solid-state electrolytes, remains largely developmental but holds significant promise for improving ionic conductivity, interfacial stability, and cycle life. Similarly, azetidines are considered potential candidates for proton exchange membranes (PEMs) in fuel cells, potentially offering enhanced proton conductivity and thermal stability, although experimental validation is less advanced. This narrative review synthesizes current knowledge, underscores the critical research gaps, particularly the need for more experimental validation for battery and fuel cell applications, and discusses functionalization strategies and computational modeling efforts aimed at optimizing performance. By comparing the distinct roles and potentials of these heterocycles across different energy systems and outlining future research directions, this work aims to provide a valuable roadmap for unlocking the full potential of strained four-membered rings in next-generation energy technologies, highlighting the novelty of consolidating this specific chemical class within the broad energy landscape.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":11765,"journal":{"name":"Energy Storage","volume":"7 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144740169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
