Pham, Huan Le M.S.M.E., Purdue University, December 2013. Health Diagnosis of Lithium-ion Battery Cell Using Vibration-based Test and Analysis. Major Professor: Dr. Douglas E. Adams, School of Mechanical Engineering. With their superior advantages of high capacity and low percentage of self-discharge, lithium-ion batteries, which are most commonly used as power sources for hand-held electronic ...

Is it possible to exceed the lithium redox potential in electrochemical systems? It seems impossible to exceed the lithium potential because the redox potential of the elemental lithium is the lowest among all the elements, which contributes to the high voltage characteristics of the widely used lithium ion battery. However, it should be possible when we use a molecule-based ion which is not re...

Aviation continues to rapidly develop through ground-breaking technological and manufacturing feats. Specifically, the aircraft being delivered and manufactured today are evolving at an exponential rate, demanding innovative technology and manufacturing. From inflight wireless internet (Wi-Fi) to a light weight fuselage made with advanced composites to cabins that mimic living rooms of the rich...

Electric vehicles using lithium-ion battery pack(s) for propulsion have recently attracted a great deal of interest. The large-scale practical application of battery electric vehicles may not be realized unless lithium-ion batteries with self-charging suppliers will be developed. Solar cells offer an attractive option for directly photo-charging lithium-ion batteries. Here we demonstrate the us...

Rechargeable lithium-ion battery technology dominates the portable electronics market following the rapid growth in demand since the introduction of the first, commercial lithium-ion battery by Sony in 1990 [1]. Motivated by concerns for global warming and environmental degradation, researchers have focused on extending the use of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries to large-scale applications. ...

The existing lithium ion battery model in Multiphysics (MP) software (COMSOL Inc., Palo Alto, CA) is extended to include the thermal effects. The thermal behavior of a lithium ion battery is studied during the galvanostatic discharge process with and without a pulse. ccepted 8 March 2011 vailable online 15 March 2011 eywords: ithium ion battery hermal model © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

In this paper, the electro-thermal model of Lithium-ion battery for electric vehicles and its related application were studied. The spatial variations of electrode parameter and the reaction heat generated inside battery must be considered when developing an electro-thermal model of Lithium-ion battery for electric vehicles, to ensure the applicability of the developed model under different ope...
