    摘要: The present invention provides impulse-response-based algorithms for high-speed characterization of electrochemical systems (e.g., batteries) with good accuracy. In some variations, a method for dynamic characterization of an electrochemical system comprises selecting an electrochemical system to be characterized; sensing the measured current to or from said electrochemical system; sensing the measured voltage across said electrochemical system; sensing or calculating the time derivatives of the measured current and voltage; and calculating an impulse response using a recursive or matrix-based algorithm (as disclosed herein), wherein said impulse response characterizes said electrochemical system within a selected sampling window. The algorithms are robust, incorporating noise-reduction techniques, and are suitable for real applications under various operating conditions. These algorithms, and the apparatus and systems to implement them, are able to accept various exciting signals to provide dynamic characterization of various states of the electrochemical system.

    摘要: A thermomagnetic sensor includes a thermomagnetic probe that includes a ferromagnetic material having a temperature-dependent magnetic permeability characterized by a maximum magnetic permeability value at a temperature below a Curie temperature of the ferromagnetic material. The thermomagnetic sensor further includes an alternating magnetic field source to produce an alternating magnetic field in a vicinity of the thermomagnetic probe to facilitate a measurement of the temperature-dependent magnetic permeability as function of temperature remotely using a thermomagnetic effect. A predetermined relationship between the temperature-dependent magnetic permeability and temperature in a range between the maximum magnetic permeability value and the Curie temperature provides a measurement of a temperature local to the thermomagnetic probe. A battery-temperature measurement system includes the thermomagnetic probe in a battery, a magnetic field coil to apply the alternating magnetic field, and a magnetic permeability measurement apparatus to measure the temperature-dependent magnetic permeability.

    摘要: This invention employs a diamine electrolyte additive that enhances performance of lithium-ion batteries both at high and low temperatures, thereby minimizing the conventional performance gap across a wide temperature range, such as −30° C. to 60° C. At low temperatures, diamine additives can enhances cycling kinetics. At high temperatures, diamine additives can minimize capacity fading. In some variations, a lithium-ion battery electrolyte composition comprises a non-aqueous solvent, a lithium salt soluble in the non-aqueous solvent, and a diamine additive having the formula H2N—R—NH2, wherein R is an organic group such as (—CH2—)n, n=2-12.

    摘要: The current thickness limitations of battery electrodes are addressed. An electrode includes an electrically conductive porous foam layer, an energy-storage material in contact with the porous foam layer, and electrically conductive porous foam protrusions extending from the porous foam layer into the energy-storage material. The energy-storage material is not contained within the pores of the foam layer or the foam protrusions. These electrodes allow lithium ions (and other metal ions, if desired) to diffuse deeper into a thick energy-storage material layer, compared to conventional planar electrodes. In particular methods, fluidic foam precursors can be templated in a mold, followed by conversion into a solid conductive foam that includes the electrically conductive porous foam protrusions. The result is batteries with surprisingly high energy densities.

    摘要: A mesoporous, nanocrystalline, metal oxide construct particularly suited for capacitive energy storage that has an architecture with short diffusion path lengths and large surface areas and a method for production are provided. Energy density is substantially increased without compromising the capacitive charge storage kinetics and electrode demonstrates long term cycling stability. Charge storage devices with electrodes using the construct can use three different charge storage mechanisms immersed in an electrolyte: (1) cations can be stored in a thin double layer at the electrode/electrolyte interface (non-faradaic mechanism); (2) cations can interact with the bulk of an electroactive material which then undergoes a redox reaction or phase change, as in conventional batteries (faradaic mechanism); or (3) cations can electrochemically adsorb onto the surface of a material through charge transfer processes (faradaic mechanism).

    摘要: A handlebar grip capable of combining with or without an auxiliary handle is disclosed. Four first tongue plates in an annular arrangement extend from a main grip. There is a gap between two adjacent first tongue plates. Each first tongue plate has a first rib extending therefrom. A cap having second tongue plates corresponding to the first tongue plates is fixed on the outer end of the main grip by interlacing the tongue plates. A hitching ring is sandwiched between the cap and main grip to form an extended portion of the main grip. Each the second tongue plate has a second rib, which connects the first ribs to form an annular rib with the first ribs. The ring has an annular groove to receiving the annular rib and to engage the main grip and cap. The ring may be changed into a horn shape as an auxiliary handle.
