Dual doping synergistic grain boundary engineering enables long-term cycling stability of ultrahigh-Ni layered oxide J. Energy Storage (IF 9.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-08 Fenghua Yang, Yunlong Wu, Qi Guo, Xiaoxue Jiang, Cuiqin Li, Keliang Wang, Yun Jiang
Ultrahigh‑nickel layered oxides LiNiCoMnO (x ≥ 0.9, x + y + z = 1) have been extensively studied for their high energy density and reasonable cost. However, with the increase of nickel content, structural instability and side reactions at the electrolyte-electrode interface appear, which seriously affect the long-term cycling stability of LIBs. In this study, Ga and Ti cations were successfully introduced

Modeling of hydrogen flow decompression from a storage by a two-stage Tesla valve: A hybrid approach of artificial neural network, response surface methodology, and genetic algorithm optimization J. Energy Storage (IF 9.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-08 Chen Kou, Mohammed A. Alghassab, Azher M. Abed, Salem Alkhalaf, Fawaz S. Alharbi, Yasser Elmasry, Sherzod Abdullaev, Hakim AL Garalleh, Mou'ad A. Tarawneh
Hydrogen, as an energy carrier, requires efficient handling and regulation, especially during storage and release phases. The efficient hydrogen release from the storage tanks is often coupled with a rapid decompression process. Pressure regulators, hydrogen sensors, and monitoring systems are commonly used to control the pressure of hydrogen gas in storage tanks and distribution systems. Besides the

Double-shell and hierarchical porous nitrogen-doped carbon nanocages as superior anode material for advanced sodium-ion batteries J. Energy Storage (IF 9.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-07 Maohui Yu, Mingjun Sun, Lingfeng Zhu, Zijuan Luo, Guogen Deng, Chengwu Zou, Fanyan Zeng, Yaohui Qu, Manman Guo, Keng Xu, Cailei Yuan, Zhang-Hui Lu
Carbon-based materials are the most advantageous candidates for anode in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Nevertheless, their practical utilization has been hampered by their low reversible capacity and poor cyclic performance. In this study, novel double-shell and hierarchical porous N-doped carbon nanocages (DHNCNs) were prepared by a soft template-assisted strategy in the presence of ZIF-8 as the matrix

Evaluation of the social impact of an energy system for residential heating applications based on a novel seasonal thermal energy storage J. Energy Storage (IF 9.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-07 Emiliano Borri, Gabriel Zsembinszki, Luisa F. Cabeza
Thermal energy storage (TES) is a key player in the energy transition to support the integration of renewable sources and reduce the energy demand supplied by fossil fuels. The EU-funded project SWS-Heating aims to develop a novel seasonal thermal energy storage based on selective water sorbents for domestic heating to increase the share of renewables. Although the main performance indicator of new

Significantly enhanced energy storage performance of polyimide dielectrics at high temperatures via manipulating crosslinked density J. Energy Storage (IF 9.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-07 Ao Xu, Jinlong Zhou, Chuanfang Yan, Zijin Liu, Hang Luo, Sheng Chen
Aromatic polyimide (PI) film capacitors have attracted wide attention due to their good film-forming, outstanding high-temperature resistance, and good flexibility. However, high conductive loss gives rise to poor energy storage performance at high temperatures, originating from the conjugation effect of the benzene ring in the main chain. To improve the discharge energy density () and efficiency ()

Micro-short circuit fault diagnosis of the parallel battery module based on increment capacity curve J. Energy Storage (IF 9.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-07 Xiuliang Zhao, Jinzhi Wang, Mingming Zhao, Bangxiong Pan, Ruochen Wang, Limei Wang, Xueqing Yan
Compared to individual cells and series packs, parallel battery modules (PBM) bring more difficult challenges to fault diagnosis due to the particularity of their structure and the self-balancing of each cell. In this paper, the PBM's micro-short circuit (MSC) fault diagnosis tests are firstly designed. Experimental results show that the smaller the short circuit resistance is, the greater the voltage
