A Finite Element Analysis of a Lithium-Ion Battery Cell Under Abuse Conditions
Published on 2025-02-14 by Aljon Kociu, Daniele Barbani, Luca Pugi, Lorenzo Berzi, Niccolò Baldanzini, Massimo Delogu @MDPI
Abstract: Lithium-ion battery cells are the fundamental components of all Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) used in electric vehicles (EVs). Increasing concerns about safety issues, particularly the response of battery cells to mechanical crushes that can lead to internal short circuits (ISCs) and potential thermal runaway (TR), necessitate detailed investigation. To evaluate the response of a battery under abuse conditions, a homogeneous finite element (FE) model of a battery cell was developed. This model e[...]
Our summary: A detailed study was conducted on the response of a lithium-ion battery cell to abuse conditions using a finite element analysis. The development of a homogeneous model allowed for accurate representation with reduced computational effort. The model provides insight into potential safety issues such as internal short circuits and thermal runaway.

Research Progresses on Nano-Structured Silicon-Based Materials as Anode for Lithium-Ion Batteries
Published on 2025-02-14 by Xiang Chen, Weidong Cheng, Huanyan Liu, Haiqing Chen, Jiahui Ma, Yihan Zhang, Zhaojun Wu, Chaohui Wang, Yuan You, Xueqing Xing, Zhonghua Wu @MDPI
Abstract: Silicon-based materials are considered the most promising next-generation anode materials for lithium-ion batteries due to their high theoretical specific capacity, rich reserves, and advantages of low discharge potential. However, the significant volume expansion of silicon during the cycling process leads to the detachment of active substances and the loss of electrical contact between the active substances and the current collector, ultimately resulting in a decline in battery performance. Na[...]

Published on 2025-02-14 by Lyuben Borislavov, Alia Tadjer, Radostina Stoyanova @MDPI
Abstract: The growing demand for sustainable energy storage devices requires the fabrication of novel materials for rechargeable metal-ion batteries. The stability of the materials incorporated in the electrochemical cells plays a crucial role in the specific capacity and cycling stability of energy storage devices. The processes that occur inside such systems are fairly complex; hence, the identification of unwanted side reactions affecting the electrochemical stability is not a trivial task. The present[...]

Solar panel recycling
Patent published on the 2025-02-13 in WO under Ref WO2025035146 by WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INST [US] (Wang Yan [us], Ma Xiaotu [us], Wang Owen [us])
Abstract: A recycling process for exhausted, end-of-life solar panels achieves substantial recovery of silicon and silver, as well as other materials, from a recycling stream of discarded solar panels. Agitation and shredding of the solar panels yield a granular mass, which can be separated by particle size to yield the silicon rich solar cell material. Leaching with a strong base such as sodium hydroxide draws the silicon into the leach solution. Filtration of the leach solution draws off the silicon-ric[...]
