Immersion cooling is a promising thermal management technique to address these challenges. This work presents experimental and theoretical analysis of the thermal and electrochemical impact of immersion cooling of a small module of Li-ion cells. Significant reduction in both surface and core temperature due to immersion cooling is observed, consistent with theoretical and simulation models developed here. However, immersion cooling is also found to result in a small but non-negligible increase in capacity fade of the cells. A number of hypotheses are formed and systematically tested through comparison of experimental measurements with theoretical modeling and simulations. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy measurements indicate that the accelerated cell aging due to immersion cooling is likely to be due to enhanced lithium plating. Therefore, careful consideration of the impact of immersion cooling on long-term performance may be necessary. The results presented in this work quantify both thermal and electrochemical impacts of an important thermal management technique for Li-ion cells. These results may be of relevance for design and optimization of electrochemical energy conversion and storage systems.","PeriodicalId":15579,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage","volume":"217 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136264063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If the actual SOC of the battery differs significantly from the estimated value, it can lead to improper battery usage, resulting in unexpected rapid voltage drops or increases, which can affect driving safety. Therefore, high-accuracy SOC estimation is of great importance for battery management and usage. Currently used SOC estimation methods suffer from issues such as strong dependence on model parameters, error propagation from measurements, and sensitivity to initial values. In this study, we propose a high-precision SOC estimation strategy based on deep belief network (DBN) feature extraction and extended Kalman filter (EKF) for smooth output. The proposed strategy has been rigorously tested under different temperature conditions using the dynamic stress test (DST) and urban dynamometer driving schedule (US06) driving cycles. The mean absolute error (MAE) and root-mean-square error (RMSE) of the proposed strategy are controlled within 1.1% and 1.2%, respectively. This demonstrates the high-precision estimation achieved. To further validate the generality of this strategy, we also apply it to graphene batteries and conduct tests under US06 and highway fuel economy test (HWFET) driving cycles at temperatures of 25 °C and −10 °C. The test results show MAE of 0.47% and 2.01%, respectively.","PeriodicalId":15579,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135804889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Electrodes with conductive spider nest–shaped three-dimensional(3D)porous structure was prepared for the assembly of symmetric supercapacitors. The nickel foam was modified by multiwalled carbon nanotubes and β-cyclodextrin. The construction of spider nest was stabilized via the chemical bond inside carbon nanotubes, π-π stack effects among carbon nanotubes, and physical adsorption between nickel foam and carbon nanotubes substrate. The role of β-cyclodextrin is dispersant to prevent agglomeration of carbon nanotubes, thereby enhancing electroactive surface area of nickel foam, and improving the specific capacitance of the electrodes. Furthermore, the electrodes exhibited excellent rate capability. The obtained symmetrical supercapacitors exhibited excellent power density of 17561.3 W kg−1, good specific capacitance of 398.8 F g−1, and energy density of 154.8 Wh kg−1 for 4000 cycles with outstanding cycling stability.

The simulations employ a recently developed Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) model proposed by Chen et al. (Chen, S., B. Yang, and C.

The results demonstrate that a hierarchical porous cathode provides a better specific capacity than a uniform porous cathode with the same average initial porosity. The specific capacity increases as the magnitude of initial porosity variation in the domain increases. Furthermore, incorporating oxygen channels improves oxygen transport in the cathode and offers a better specific capacity than the hierarchical porous cathode. A combination of hierarchical porous media and oxygen channels delivers the best specific capacity among all the other cathode models, as it efficiently balances oxygen transport and active surface area.","PeriodicalId":15579,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136060933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The shape of the vortex generators (triangle, trapezoid, and semicircle), placement position (middle, inlet, and outlet of the channel), different flow rates, and different number of channels on the heat dissipation of the battery are systematically analysed. The research results indicate that: (1) The semi-circular vortex generator has better heat dissipation and a relatively lower impact on pressure drop than the triangular and trapezoidal vortex generators (2) The effect of adding vortex generators is more obvious when the flow rate is small in the cooling channels. When the flow velocity is 0.025 m/s, the heat dissipation performance can be increased by 7.4%. (3) When the cross-sectional area of the inlet is fixed, the heat dissipation effect of more channels is better. The average temperature of three and seven cooling channels decreases with a decrease of 8.87%.

A mathematical model is developed to analyze the relationship among material parameters, structural changes, and bending deformation. The curvature changes of the cantilever beam are captured by a CCD camera during electrochemical cycling. Combining the model and bending curvatures, the modulus and swell strain are extracted and detailed analyzed. Here, the elastic modulus of the composite electrode softens and decreases from 9.59 GPa to 4.78 GPa, while the swell strain increases from 0.12% to 2.97% when arriving 6% normalized concentration of lithium.

The unknown parameters were estimated using the experimental data of a 1.2 kW PEMFC. The simplified model showed good agreement with experimental results. Control schemes were implemented to control the stack temperature of the PEMFC. The proportional (P) and proportional-integral (PI) Control performed well but had a poorer response compared to the sliding mode control (SMC) scheme. The study of the different control schemes reveals the dangers of singularly controlling either the oxygen excess ratio or the temperature. Results show the best control is achieved when the excess ratio is control through the reference temperature.
