The Dynamics of the Structure of Composite Electrodes during their Operation in Lithium‐Ion Batteries
- 18 July 2025
Graphical Abstract
Composite battery electrodes undergo structural changes during cycling, driven by internal mechanical stresses. The binder material has a key role in controlling the dynamics of the rearrangement of electrode particles. These changes affect the mechanical behavior and electrical resistance of electrodes, and impact the performance of cells during operation.
Hydrogen Leakage Simulation and Optimization of Sensor Layout for Hydrogen Supply Systems in Fuel Cell Truck
- 18 July 2025
Graphical Abstract
This study conducts hydrogen leakage simulation and sensor layout optimization for the fuel cell truck's hydrogen supply system. The influence of leak location, leak hole diameter, and leak direction on hydrogen diffusion and detection is investigated in detail. Furthermore, based on the numerical simulation results, the sensor layout is optimized using the nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II algorithm.
Oxygen‐Enriched Porous Carbon Derived from Biomass Waste for Supercapacitors with High Electrochemical Performances
- 18 July 2025
Graphical Abstract
Oxygen-enriched porous carbon is derived from Platanus fibers via a carbonization and activation process using KMnO4 as activator. The obtained porous carbon possesses high oxygen content and shows tube-like hollow structures. Furthermore, the porous carbon as the electrode materials for supercapacitors shows good electrochemical performances.
Solvent‐Free Manufacturing of Lithium Iron Phosphate Cathodes via Binder Fibrillation for Li‐Ion Batteries
- 18 July 2025
Graphical Abstract
By balancing the electrode thickness and porosity effects on C-rate performance of dry-coated lithium iron phosphate cathodes, the areal capacities of ≈300 μm-thick electrodes are uniformly increased across a C-rate range by 2.0–2.6 mAh cm−2 from ≈150 μm-thick electrodes, indicating the promising future of using thick dry electrodes for higher C-rate applications.
Ion Migration‐Induced Capacity Evolution in Iron–Chromium Redox Flow Batteries during Cycling
- 18 July 2025
Graphical Abstract
This study on iron–chromium redox flow batteries reveals that ion migration, propelled by potential differences, concentration gradients, and osmotic pressure, enriches iron ions in the positive electrolyte and chromium ions in the negative one. Along with water migration, these factors impact performance and can be harnessed to boost capacity and cut initial costs by 2%.
