Specifically, highly-oriented fibers are achieved by high-speed roller collecting during electrospinning, and compaction densification is conducted by hot-pressing treatment. The effects of collecting speed and hot-pressing pressure on the morphology, conductivity, bulk density, tensile strength, and flexibility of the obtained carbon nanofiber membrane are investigated. Compared to conventional fiber membranes, of which fibers are disorderly stacked, the oriented fiber membrane is much easier to achieve dense stacking by compaction. The obtained dense carbon nanofiber membrane demonstrates a bulk density of 0.566 g cm<sup>−3</sup>, and shows a significantly-enhanced volumetric capacity (318.3 mA h cm<sup>−3</sup>), high-rate performance (86.6 mA h cm<sup>−3</sup> at 5 A g<sup>−1</sup>), and satisfactory cycling stability when used as self-supporting electrode of LIBs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20742,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Natural Science: Materials International","volume":"35 1","pages":"Pages 229-237"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143488524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While most existing techniques train the prediction model through minimizing the prediction error only, the errors associated with the physical measurements can also induce negative impact to the prediction accuracy. Although total-least-squares (TLS) regression has been applied to address this issue, it relies on the unrealistic assumption that the distributions of measurement errors on all input variables are equivalent, and cannot appropriately capture the practical characteristics of battery degradation. In order to tackle this challenge, this work intends to model the variations along different input dimensions, thereby improving the accuracy and robustness of battery lifetime prediction. In specific, we propose an innovative EM-TLS framework that enhances the TLS-based prediction to accommodate dimension-variate errors, while simultaneously investigating the distributions of them using expectation-maximization (EM). Experiments have been conducted to validate the proposed method based on the data of commercial Lithium-Ion batteries, where it reduces the prediction error by up to 29.9 % compared with conventional TLS. This demonstrates the immense potential of the proposed method for advancing the R&D of rechargeable batteries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20742,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Natural Science: Materials International","volume":"35 1","pages":"Pages 146-155"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143488515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
