However, as the use of LIBs increases, the recycling industry is facing significant wastemanagement challenges. The decreasing content of precious metals in LIBs has led to a decline in recycling income. This article explores the application of LIBs in new energy vehicles, and evaluates the challenges faced by the recycling industry and provides suggestions for overcoming them. Currently, lithium iron phosphate, lithium nickel cobalt manganese and lithium nickel cobalt aluminum batteries have been used in new energy vehicle power batteries. The main recycle methods include direct recycling, hydrometallurgy, and pyrometallurgy. The article then suggests that improved recycling lines that use artificial intelligence and renew manufacturing standards may be beneficial solutions. By addressing these challenges, the problems associated with LIB recycling may be transformed into opportunities for the future.","PeriodicalId":18309,"journal":{"name":"MATEC Web of Conferences","volume":"168 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135318141","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}

However, there are applications where they do not provide the most durable and efficient solution. While the cost of implementing optimized non-involute gears in most applications often outweighs their comparative advantages, the advent of additive manufacturing has opened up possibilities for designers to explore alternative gear tooth profiles. This is particularly relevant in the realm of plastic gears, where optimized non-involute gears produced through 3D printing can address their primary drawbacks, such as surface durability and wear resistance. In this study, a comprehensive free-form optimization process was conducted to determine the optimal tooth profile that minimizes wear on 3D printed spur gears during operation. The tooth flank geometry was represented using a 4th order B-spline curve, and a genetic algorithm was employed to determine the optimum positions of the control points aiming to minimize wear depth across the tooth flanks. The spur gears were manufactured using Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) with PLA material. The parameters of the additive manufacturing process were experimentally fine-tuned to achieve the best possible accuracy. To evaluate the performance of the optimized free-form gears, two case studies were implemented, demonstrating that the optimized gears achieved a remarkable reduction of average wear depth by more than 50% and a reduction of maximum wear depth by more than 69% compared to standard involute gears. To further validate the effectiveness of the optimization method, experiments were carried out using an FZG test rig. The profiles of the tooth flanks were measured on a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) before and after the experiments to compare the wear depth against the standard involute gears. The results revealed a significant improvement in the wear resistance of the tooth flanks, with a reduction of wear depth of 44.1%.","PeriodicalId":18309,"journal":{"name":"MATEC Web of Conferences","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135448902","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}

Pumping equipment is one of the most significant consumers of electrical energy. Thus, the drive of pumps (mainly centrifugal pumps) at some CHPPs consumes up to 10 % of the total energy produced at the plant [1]. In general, the total share of consumption of pumping equipment operated in industry, according to various estimates, is from 15 to 25 % of all generated electricity. In this paper, a new impeller configuration (with variable blade curvature) for double suction centrifugal pumps with higher efficiency was proposed. The head and efficiency of centrifugal pump with different vane grids were compared. The main conclusions are that the static pressure and relative velocity have increased in the modernised impeller, leading to an increase in hydraulic and overall efficiency, the kinetic energy of turbulence has less pulsation. the operating point of the pump has shifted. In spite of the fact that the average integral efficiency has increased in the modified pump, the operating point of the pump is shifted to the side of decreasing flow by 1.5%. The theory of the variable curvature vane system was verified by computational methods.","PeriodicalId":18309,"journal":{"name":"MATEC Web of Conferences","volume":"159 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135448954","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}

Since lithium metal is an active metal, its preparation and preservation have high requirements on the environment. This paper discusses the development history, working principle, classification and practical application of lithium electronic batteries in real life. The two types of lithium batteries are called lithium metal batteries and lithium ion batteries, respectively. The battery of lithium electronic battery is composed of positive electrode, diaphragm, organic electrolyte, battery shell and negative electrode. Rechargeable battery is also called “lithium ion\". Its working principle is to cycle lithium ion back and forth between positive and negative electrodes, and to add and reuse lithium ion alternately and continuously between positive and negative electrodes during charge and discharge. There are basically three categories of lithium-ion battery electrolyte: liquid, solid and molten salt. At present, lithium iron phosphate or frequently used nickel-manganese-cobalt ternary materials are employed as the cathode of standard goods., and negative electrode is mainly graphite and other carbon materials. A better study could result from a deeper understanding of lithium-ion batteries, providing a wealth of theoretical knowledge for in-depth research.","PeriodicalId":18309,"journal":{"name":"MATEC Web of Conferences","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135317134","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}

The accuracy of this method was tested on several calibration particle samples with a sufficient agreement with the PDA and LD commercial instruments. Subsequently, the water droplet distributions of a two-phase nozzle were evaluated by all three methods. The knowledge of the detailed droplet size distribution of the nozzle is then to be used for the development of a new facility for the study of heterogeneous droplet nucleation.

Herein, we report a facile and conventional strategy to grow vertically non-metallic modified nickel ferrite nanosheets on Fe foam (S-NiFe2O4/IF) as largecurrent-density OER catalysts. The vertically aligned nanosheet arrays can offer large electrochemical surface area, and the spacing between nanoarrays can allow for effective electrolyte access to the active sites. The introduction of S enhanced the adsorption and dissociation to water and optimized the adsorption of OER intermediates. As a result, S-NiFe2O4/IF exhibits superior OER activity with an overpotential of 287 and 326 mV to achieve 100 and 500 mA cm−2, respectively, and displays robust stability in alkaline media.
