Production of high density ceramic and cermet thin films

7026 – Owing to their composition and geometry, thin films of ceramics and ceramic-metal composites materials possess desirable electrical and mechanical properties. Current methods of production rely on slow and energy-intensive processes like sol-gel processing or vapor deposition. Improvements in the production of thin film ceramics are needed because they can be used for various applications,... Read More

Organic Anolyte Materials for Flow Batteries

6668 – A major factor in the widespread adaptation of solar and wind power for global energy production is the ability to harness that energy for use at later times. New advances in batteries are becoming increasingly important, as evidenced by unprecedented growth in the market for advanced grid-scale batteries, capable of storing many megawatt-hours of energy stably over long periods of time. ...

Non-aqueous synthesis of titanita-bronze thin films with superfast ion transport

6372 – Lithium ion batteries are a promising technology for which demand is expected to grow rapidly. In 2013 the global market revenue was $17,584M and revenues are expected to grow through 2020 to reach $76,397M with 23.3% CAGR. The use of lithium-ion batteries could be expanded to high-power systems if better energy storage materials could be created. Titania bronze possesses many of the... Read More

Method for Construction of Electrodes with Chemically Bonded Li-Compounds on Al and Aluminum Alloy

5362 – Li-ion battery systems are one of the main technologies being considered for large-scale energy storage (especially renewable energy storage) across the electricity chain. These batteries can be used in various applications such as load leveling, peak shaving, distributed storage, and power quality. Fire hazard is a perennial problem for Li-Ion batteries. According to recent academic... Read More

Dynamic Reconfiguration of a Large-Scale Battery System

4302 – Electric vehicles powered with large-scale battery packs are gaining popularity as gasoline price soars. Large-scale battery packs usually consist of an estimated 12,000 battery cells connected in series and parallel, which are susceptible to battery cell failures. Currently available battery-management systems are often dedicated to micro-scale batteries based on static configuration,... Read More

Scheduling of Battery Charge and Discharge

4442 – Electric vehicles operate inefficiently with a naïve battery management system that charges or discharges battery cells (BCs) in a battery pack based solely on application load demands. Effective scheduling (cyber) of battery charge and discharge activities, by making the most of battery characteristics (physical), can extend the battery pack’s operation-time and lifetime. ...
