Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the drive towards a low carbon future, improved energy storage, in particular batteries, is one of the major global challenges facing society today. Lithium-ion batteries (LiIBs) are the preferred choice for home and portable electronics, battery electric vehicles and aerospace applications due to their high energy density and low self-discharge. However, there are also associated risks to them.

Lithium-ion battery packs are the predominant energy storage systems in aircraft, electric vehicles, portable devices and other equipment requiring a reliable, high-energy-density, low-weight power source. The battery management system (BMS) is an electronic system responsible for safe operation, performance and battery life under charge–discharge cycles. Devices to monitor and simulate battery systems have attracted a lot of interest over the last two decades.

In this Special Issue, we will be looking at new models for simulation to develop safer and stronger batteries.

The accurate estimation and prediction of lithium-ion battery state of health are one of the important core technologies of the battery management system, and are also the key to extending battery life. However, it is difficult to track state of health in real-time to predict and improve accuracy. This article selects the ternary lithium-ion battery as the research object. Based on the cycle method and data-driven idea, the improved rain flow counting algorithm is combined with the autoregressive integrated moving average model prediction model to propose a new prediction for the battery state of health method. Experiments are carried out with dynamic stress test and cycle conditions, and a confidence interval method is proposed to fit the error range. Compared with the actual value, the method proposed in this paper has a maximum error of 5.3160% under dynamic stress test conditions, a maximum error of 5.4517% when the state of charge of the cyclic conditions is used as a sample, and a maximum error of 0.7949% when the state of health under cyclic conditions is used as a sample.

A numerical model is created to simulate the discharge performance of aluminum-air batteries (AABs) with alkaline electrolyte. The discharge voltage and power density, as a function of the discharge current density, are predicted for the modeled AAB and compared with experimental measurements. A good agreement between model and experiment is found. The effect of various model parameters on the battery performance is studied by adjusting the parameters within a suitable range. The results show that electrolyte thickness is a key factor that can strongly increase the power density and the corresponding current density as the electrolyte thickness decreases. The peak of power density is increased by a factor of two if the electrolyte thickness is reduced from 7 mm to 3 mm. The alkaline concentration is also an important factor, since both the voltage and power density curves are significantly raised as the NaOH concentration is increased from 1 to 4 mol/L. The partial oxygen pressure plays a secondary role in performance improvement. The peak of power density is increased by 35% using pure oxygen in the air electrode. In addition, the active specific surface area of the catalyst layer also affects the discharge capability of the AAB system. Full article
