However, a clear classification,fair comparison, and performance rationalization of these methods are lacking, due to the scattered existing studies. To address these issues, we develop 20 capacity estimation methods from three perspectives:charging sequence construction, input forms, and ML models. 22,582 charging curves are generated from 44 cells with different battery chemistry and operating conditions to validate the performance. Through comprehensive and unbiased comparison, the long short-term memory(LSTM) based neural network exhibits the best accuracy and robustness. Across all 6503 tested samples, the mean absolute percentage error(MAPE) for capacity estimation using LSTM is 0.61%, with a maximum error of only 3.94%. Even with the addition of 3 m V voltage noise or the extension of sampling intervals to 60 s, the average MAPE remains below 2%. Furthermore, the charging sequences are provided with physical explanations related to battery degradation to enhance confidence in their application. Recommendations for using other competitive methods are also presented. This work provides valuable insights and guidance for estimating battery capacity based on partial charging curves.展开更多

文摘Fresh EPF proteins from Liangzi Lake were employed as a template to synthesize hierarchically porous nitrogen-doped TiO_(2) in a single process.The experimental results show that N-TiO_(2) sample exhibits significantly enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity in both chemical waste treatment and hydrogen production,and the visible-light photocatalytic activities vary with the concentrations of EPF proteins.The optimal concentration of protein is 600 mg·mL^(-1) and the degradation of RhB could be almost completed in just 25 min.Furthermore,the performance of as-synthesized TiO2 as an electrode for Li-ion battery can be also regulated by the EPF proteins.Natural extrapallial fluid(EPF)proteins extracted from the same kind of mussels living in different regions have significantly different effects on the performances of TiO_(2) as electrode materials for Li-ion battery.The present work highlights the unimaginable effects of natural organic matrix on the synthesis of advanced materials with optimized functional properties.

文摘Single crystal LiNi_(0.6)Co_(0.2)Mn_(0.2)O_(2)is currently widely used due to the outstanding cycle stability and safety.However,its sensitivity to the environment and the high residual alkali makes the electrochemical performance and processing property severely degraded after long-term storage,especially for the Ni-rich single crystal material.Therefore,it is highly urgent to develop a cost-effective strategy for the revival of degraded Ni-rich cathode materials.Here,a low-carbon strategy is proposed to revive the degraded single crystal LiNi_(0.6)Co_(0.2)Mn_(0.2)O_(2)(SCNCM622)through water washing.The solid-liquid reaction mechanism of SCNCM622 and water was revealed and the strong dependence of the recovery effect on the washing time was clarified.Under optimized conditions,the sample with a washing time of 24 h shows 31.2%reduction in viscosity,18.4%improvement in discharge capacity,15.3%enhancement in cycle life,and excellent rate performance compared to the blank sample.Therefore,this strategy can achieve higher utilization of single crystal Ni-based cathode materials with a lower cost.

文摘In this Letter, a sensor consisting of a fiber Bragg grating(FBG) and a fiber Fabry–Perot interferometer(FFPI)sensor is developed to measure the coefficient of thermal expansion(CTE) and the thermo-optical coefficient(TOC) of a silica-based optical fiber at cryogenic temperatures. The FFPI is fabricated by welding together two acid-etched fibers. The temperature performance of the FFPI-FBG hybrid sensor is studied in the temperature range of 30–273 K. The CTE and TOC of the optical fiber at cryogenic temperatures are derived analytically and verified by experiments.

文摘A group of leaf springs which provides the flexible support of stator is designed to satisfy the requirement of low vibration motor at megawatt(MW) level. Spring steel 65 Mn is chosen as the material of the leaf spring. The size of the leaf spring is obtained by calculation and load analysis according to a deflection formula. The deflection and stiffness of the single leaf spring is calculated with both theoretical method and finite element analysis(FEA). A deflection test platform is established based on actual force and boundary condition to verify the deflection and stiffness of the leaf spring. The results show that the maximal deflection of the three pieces of 1.2 mm leaf spring group is 0.71 mm and the stiffness of the leaf spring group is 364 N/mm, which satisfies the requirements of the motor. The design method is also applicable for other MW power level motors.

文摘In order to improve the overall performance of high temperature superconducting(HTS) motor, a radial connection torque tube with high strength and low thermal leakage has been designed. Firstly, fiberglass epoxy composite is chosen as construction material. The structural size of the torque tube is obtained by means of load analysis and theoretical calculation. Secondly, thermal leakage of the torque tube is calculated with both theoretical method and 3D finite-element analysis(FEA). According to the result of the thermal analysis and mechanical loads, the structural stresses of the torque tube are also obtained by FEA method. Lastly, a low temperature test platform is developed to verify the strength and the thermal leakage of the torque tube. The results show that the maximal shear stress of the torque tube is 24.3 MPa and thermal leakage of torque tube is 10.5 W, which satisfy the design requirements of the HTS motor. The torque tube also works in good condition at full-power and full-torque testing of the motor. The design method is also applicable for other similar design of torque tube in other applications.

文摘Precise assembly of active component with sophisticated confinement in electrocatalyst are promising to increase the active site exposure for enhanced hydrogen evolution reaction(HER).Here,PCN-333 films with mesopores are firstly assembled on titanium carbide MXene with the assistance of atomic layer deposited oxide nanomembrane.With the whereafter pyrolysis process,the composite is converted to Ndoped porous carbon multi-layer containing Fe nanoparticles.The strong confinement of Fe active particle in carbon as well as great contact between metal and carbon effectively enhance active site exposure.Furthermore,this multi-layer porous structure provides high specific surface area and plentiful mesopores for electrolyte penetration.Due to the structural advantage,the composite can be well functioned in both acid and alkaline electrolytes with excellent HER performance,e.g.,low overpotential/Tafel slope.The present work may have great potential in developing high efficiency transition-metal based electrocatalysts.
