Understanding the Application of the Discrete Element Method for Modelling Lithium-ion Batteries in Electric Vehicles: A Critical Review | Chapter 6 | Engineering Research: Perspectives on Recent Advances Vol. 12

 

Lithium-ion batteries are a type of rechargeable battery that uses lithium as a storage and energy generator. These batteries work by transferring lithium ions between a cathode and an anode through an electrolyte, generating energy during discharge and storing lithium during charging. Lithium-ion batteries have transformed the foundations of the world's infrastructure. From energy production to electricity distribution, the transportation of people and goods, and the operation of computing devices and even the internet. This scenario was analysed during the aforementioned conference, where the latest innovations in the battery field—sodium, cobalt-free, and even solid-state batteries—were the main focus of the event. The purpose of this project is the application of the discrete element method (DEM) for the realisation of a particle model based on the electrode material of the lithium-ion batteries in electric cars, trying to solve the main problems they present during charging and discharging, since these directly affect the lifetime of the same. The study concluded that the model developed has reliable foundations that can be implemented and, in turn, improved to obtain more accurate results.

Performance Studies on a Multi-cellular Boost Converter Dedicated for Domestic DC Applications (Cooker) | Chapter 14 | Research Developments in Science and Technology Vol. 10

 

 In this chapter, we outline the design, sizing, and testing of a power system that enables photovoltaic renewable energy to be used to power DC equipment via solar batteries (Cookers, distillers, refrigerators, dryers, ...). The suggested system is based on the usage of a multi-cell DC/DC converter of the Boost type that is managed by a microcontroller and produces PWM signals with a 20 kHz frequency and variable duty cycle. The solar batteries (24 V, 520 Ah) store the electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic panels (600 W), which is subsequently transmitted to the application via the suggested DC/DC converter. The maximum temperatures of the heating resistance and the oil are achieved by the fry-cooking system (by hot plate cooker), which exhibits a DC/DC converter efficiency of 84 percent, during trial. After 6 minutes of heating, the oil temperature reaches 100°C, or 16.67°C/min with a cooking duration of around 20 minutes, or temperatures of around 640°C and 230°C, respectively. Approximately 28.72 Ah, or 5.52 percent of the overall battery capacity, is the battery consumption capacity. The economic analysis of the usage of renewable energy stored in batteries and a comparison of all the outcomes with those predicted reveal that the power system suggested in this work works well and is legitimate.

Ionic Solids: Introduction, General Aspects | Book Publisher International

 The introduction of ionic solids is covered in this book. In both basic research and possible applications, solid-state transport phenomena are of equal relevance. Because of its appealing electric-power applications, ionic solids have attracted a lot of attention. In many solid-state processes, ionic conduction is a crucial step. Microstructure and physical characteristics of ionic conductors vary. There are four forms of solid ionic conductors: open channel architectures, amorphous-glassy electrolytes, polymer electrolytes, and composite electrolytes. Each has critical applications that demand various fabrication techniques.

Advances in Nanotechnology: Spinel and Perovskite Materials for Use in Solid-state Microbatteries for Use in Micro-electro-mechanical Systems Devices | Chapter 7 | Emerging Trends in Engineering Research and Technology Vol. 8

 Materials required for the fabrication of a micro lithium-ion battery have been synthesized. Coin cells

made of the above materials showed very promising features for future development of
microbatteries. Solid electrolytes with high lithium conductivity may serve as useful components for
enabling novel lithium ion battery system design. This work attempts to demonstrate the possible
integration of lithium-doped lanthanum titanate (Li_0.390La_0.537TiO₃) materials into an all-solid battery
system with Li[Li1/3Ti5/3]O4 as anode material in combination with a high voltage spinel of the family
Li2(M1M2)xMn3-xO8 cathode, namely the Li2Co0.4Fe0.4Mn3.2O8 material. The cell operates along the
expected voltage levels, demonstrating the feasibility of this concept in the advanced lithium-ion
battery technology.
