A Haring-Blum cell was used for TP measurements, and TI values were calculated from metal distribution ratios across different cathode distances. Potentiodynamic cathodic polarization curves were also recorded to help correlate electrochemical behavior with deposition uniformity. The zinc chloride bath consistently demonstrated superior TP (14.28 – 60.0) and TI (1.33–4.0) across a wide range of zinc salt concentrations, current densities, and pH values, owing to its higher conductivity and enhanced polarization behavior. Sulphate-based baths exhibited moderate TP (5.26–33.33) and TI (1.0–2.32) with significant sensitivity to operating conditions, whereas acetate-based baths exhibited the lowest TP (5.26–14.28) and TI (1.0–1.66), most likely due to limited ion mobility and conductivity. Microstructural and surface characterization confirmed these findings, with the chloride bath exhibiting the most balanced performance in terms of hardness, morphology, and coating uniformity.

This paper introduces a Real-time Learning-Assisted Charging Strategy, a new hybrid control framework that combines Constant Current–Constant Voltage charging with pulse current modulation and smart, real-time learning feedback. Unlike traditional hybrid or adaptive algorithms that rely on predetermined transition thresholds, the proposed system continuously learns from actual cell responses, including voltage, current, temperature, and State of Charge. This allows it to adaptively adjust parameters such as pulse amplitude, rest time, and voltage hold phases, enabling accurate thermal control and maximum energy transfer during charging. Experimental verification using an eight-cell 6000 mAh NMC pack demonstrates that the method achieves a charging efficiency of up to 98 %, a charge time of 42 min, and a thermal deviation of less than ±0.3 °C. In parallel, MATLAB/Simulink simulations confirm the performance trend and further predict a 21 % reduction in total charging time and a 37 % increase in cycle life under idealized conditions, while maintaining a thermal deviation of less than 4 °C. Additionally, it maximizes long-term capacity retention (85 % after 500 cycles) in the experimental study and increases projected cycle life by 37 % through simulation compared to the traditional CC–CV approach. These results indicate that the proposed method not only improves control but also serves as an optimization framework driven by learning, bridging the gap between model-based predictions and real-time experimentation.

These technologies represent a fundamental trade-off in modern gas sensing, pitting the low cost, scalability, and low power consumption of EC sensors against the superior sensitivity, selectivity, and stability of QCL-PAS. This paper delves into the materials science innovations driving the performance of EC sensors, including metal-oxide semiconductors, 2D materials, and metal-organic frameworks, while critically examining the persistent challenges of environmental susceptibility, cross-sensitivity to interfering gases, and long-term drift that complicate their field deployment.
