The aim of the present study is to improve the performance of a distribution network by successively applying mono-capacitor positioning, multiple positioning and reconfiguration processes using GA-based algorithms implemented in a Matlab environment. From the diagnostic study of this network, it was observed that a minimum voltage of 0.90 pu induces a voltage deviation of 5.26%, followed by active and reactive losses of 425.08 kW and 435.09 kVAR, respectively.

文摘Immense attention has been focused on developing supercapacitors in the field of energy storage by virtue of their exceptional power density,extended cycling stability and operational safety.However,traditional liquid electrolytes pose severe challenges in response to leakage,high volatility and low electrochemical stability issues.To address these problems,we have developed a novel composite polymer membrane for gel polymer electrolytes(GPEs).This membrane features an internal fibrous framework composed of shape-memory polymers,while surface dielectric layers of PVDF-HFP cross-linked with modified TiO_(2)nanoparticles are constructed on both sides of the framework.This configuration modulates the Stern layer potential gradient and diffuse layer ionic distribution through dielectric polarization,thereby suppressing electrolyte decomposition at high voltages,mitigating side reactions and facilitating ionic conduction.The resultant quasi-solid-state supercapacitor demonstrates excellent electrochemical stability at a voltage of 3.5 V,achieving an energy density of 43.87 Wh kg^(-1),with a high-power density of 22.66 kW kg^(-1)along with exceptional cyclic stability and mechanical flexibility.The synergistic structural design offers a safe and efficient energy harvesting solution for wearable electronic devices and portable energy storage systems.

文摘With the rapid development of integrated and miniaturized electronics,the planar energy storage devices with high capacitance and energy density are in enormous demand.Hence,the advanced manufacture and fast fabrication of microscale planar energy units are of great significance.Herein,we develop aqueous planar micro-supercapacitors(MSCs) with ultrahigh areal capacitance and energy density via an efficient all-3 D-printing strategy,which can directly extrude the active material ink and gel electrolyte onto the substrate to prepare electrochemical energy storage devices.Both the printed active carbon/exfoliated graphene(AC/EG) electrode ink and electrolyte gel are highly processable with outstanding conductivity(~97 S cm^(-1) of electrode;-34.8 mS cm^(-1) of electrolyte),thus benefiting the corresponding shaping and electrochemical performances.Furthermore,the 3 D-printed symmetric MSCs can be operated stably at a high voltage up to 2.0 V in water-in-salt gel electrolyte,displaying ultrahigh areal capacitance of2381 mF cm^(-2) and exceptional energy density of 331 μWh cm^(-2),superior to previous printed micro energy units.In addition,we can further tailor the integrated 3 D-printed MSCs in parallel and series with various voltage and current outputs,enabling metal-free interconnection.Therefore,our all-3 D-printed MSCs place a great potential in developing high-power micro-electronics fabrication and integration.

文摘Lithium-ion capacitors(LICs)are becoming important electrochemical energy storage systems due to their great potential to bridge the gap between supercapacitors and lithium-ion batteries.However,capacity lopsidedness and low output voltage greatly hinder the realization of high-energy-density LICs.Herein,a strategy of balancing capacity towards fastest dynamics is proposed to enable high-voltage LICs.Through electrochemical prelithiation of Nb_(2)C to be 1.1 V with 165 mAh g^(-1),Nb_(2)C//LiFePO_(4) LICs show a broadened potential window from 3.0 to 4.2 V and an according high energy density of 420 Wh kg^(-1).Moreover,the underlying mechanism between prelithiation and high voltage is disclosed by electrochemical dynamic analysis.Prelithiation declines the Nb_(2)C anode potential that facilitates electron transmission in the interlayer of two-dimensional Nb_(2)C MXene.This effect induces small drive force for Li^(+)ions deposition and hence weakens the repulsive force from adsorbed ions on the electrode surface.Benefiting from even more Li^(+)ions deposition,a higher voltage is eventually delivered.In addition,prelithiation significantly increases Coulomb efficiency of the 1st cycle from 74%to 90%,which is crucial to commercial application of LICs.

文摘This article introduces a novel 20 V radiation-hardened high-voltage metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor(MOSFET)driver with an optimized input circuit and a drain-surrounding-source(DSS)structure.The input circuit of a conventional inverter consists of a thick-gate-oxide n-type MOSFET(NMOS).These conventional drivers can tolerate a total ionizing dose(TID)of up to 100 krad(Si).In contrast,the proposed comparator input circuit uses both a thick-gate-oxide p-type MOSFET(PMOS)and thin-gate-oxide NMOS to offer a high input voltage and higher TID tolerance.Because the thick-gate-oxide PMOS and thin-gate-oxide NMOS collectively provide better TID tolerance than the thick-gate-oxide NMOS,the circuit exhibits enhanced TID tolerance of>300 krad(Si).Simulations and experimental date indicate that the DSS structure reduces the probability of unwanted parasitic bipolar junction transistor activation,yielding a better single-event effect tolerance of over 81.8 MeVcm^(2)mg^(-1).The innovative strategy proposed in this study involves circuit and layout design optimization,and does not require any specialized process flow.Hence,the proposed circuit can be manufactured using common commercial 0.35μm BCD processes.

文摘Expanding the cutoff voltage of layered oxide cathodes for sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)is crucial for overcoming their existing energy density limitations.However,cationic/anodic redox-triggered multiple phase transitions and unfavorable interfacial side reactions accelerate capacity and voltage decay.Herein,we present a straightforward melting plus reactive wetting strategy using H_(3)BO_(3)for surface modification of O_(3)-type Na_(0.9)Cu_(0.12)Ni_(0.33)Mn_(0.4)Ti_(0.15)O_(2)(CNMT).The transformation of H_(3)BO_(3)from solid to liquid under mild heating facilitates the uniform dispersion and complete surface coverage of CNMT particles.By neutralizing the residual alkali and extracting Na^(+)from the CNMT lattice,H_(3)BO_(3)forms a multifunctional Na_(2)B_(2)O_(5)-dominated layer on the CNMT surface.This Na_(x)B_(y)O_(z)(NBO)layer plays a positive role in providing low-barrier Na^(+)transport channels,suppressing phase transitions,and minimizing the generation of O_(2)/CO_(2)gases and resistive byproducts.As a result,at a charge cutoff voltage of 4.5 V,the NBO-coated CNMT delivers a high discharge capacity of 149,1 mAh g^(-1)at 10 mA g^(-1)and exhibits excellent cycling stability at 100 mA g^(-1)over 200 cycles with a higher capacity retention than that of pristine CNMT(86,4%vs,62.1%).This study highlights the effectiveness of surface modification using lowmelting-point solid acids,with potential applications for other layered oxide cathode materials to achieve stable high-voltage cycling.This proposed strategy opens new avenues for the construction of highquality coatings for high-voltage layered oxide cathodes in SIBs.

In view of the lack of high-voltage hazard analysis for drive motor systems in existing standards, based on theories such as GB/T 34590 and ISO 26262, the safety levels are deeply analyzed. The HAZOP method is innovatively used, and 16 types of guidewords are combined to comprehensively analyze the system functions, identifying vehicle hazards such as high-voltage electric shock caused by functional abnormalities, including high-voltage interlock function failure and abnormal active discharge. Subsequently, safety goals such as preventing high-voltage electric shock are set, functional safety requirements such as accurately obtaining collision signals and timely discharging high-voltage electricity are formulated, and requirements for external signal sources and other technologies are clearly defined, constructing a complete high-voltage safety protection system. The research results provide important technical support and standardized references for the high-voltage safety functional design of drive motor systems in new energy vehicles, and are of great significance for improving the high-voltage safety level of the new energy vehicle industry, expecting to play a key role in subsequent product development and standard improvement.

文摘With the development of power systems,a large number of shunt capacitors are used to improve power quality in the distribution network.The shunt capacitor banks are operated much frequently,as a result,the capacitor banks will bear large numbers of over-voltage inevitably.If the over-voltage exceeds certain amplitude,the capacitor will be damaged.This paper aims at the capacitor banks in the 35 kV side of Shanghai Xu-xing 500 kV substation,and applies ATP-EMTP to simulate the over-voltages generated by operating the switches under different angles of the source.Finally,according to the results of simulation and theoretical analysis,a best choice(i.e.angles of the source) to switch on capacitor banks is proposed.In this case the over-voltage on the capacitor will be limited to lowest.

文摘High-voltage solid-state lithium-ion batteries(SSLIBs)have attracted considerable research attention in recent years due to their high-energy-density and superior safety characteristics.However,the integration of high-voltage cathodes with solid electrolytes(SEs)presents multiple challenges,including the formation of high-impedance layers from spontaneous chemical reactions,electrochemical instability,insufficient interfacial contact,and lattice expansion.These issues significantly impair battery performance and potentially lead to battery failure,thus impeding the commercialization of high-voltage SSLIBs.The incorporation of fluorides,known for their robust bond strength and high free energy of formation,has emerged as an effective strategy to address these challenges.Fluorinated electrolytes and electrode/electrolyte interfaces have been demonstrated to significantly influence the reaction reversibility/kinetics,safety,and stability of rechargeable batteries,particularly under high voltage.This review summarizes recent advancements in fluorination treatment for high-voltage SEs,focusing on solid polymer electrolytes(SPEs),inorganic solid electrolytes(ISEs),and composite solid electrolytes(CSEs),along with the performance enhancements these strategies afford.This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the structure-property relationships,the characteristics of fluorinated interfaces,and the application of fluorinated SEs in high-voltage SSLIBs.Further,the impacts of residual moisture and the challenges of fluorinated SEs are discussed.Finally,the review explores potential future directions for the development of fluorinated SSLIBs.

文摘Enhancing the energy density of lithium-ion batteries through high-voltage cathodes holds great pro-mise.However,traditional carbonate-based electrolytes face significant challenges due to limited oxida-tive stability and poor compatibility with high-nickel materials.This study introduces a novel electrolyte that combines bis(triethoxysilyl)methane(DMSP)as the sole solvent with lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide(LiFSI)as the lithium salt.This formulation significantly improves the stability of LiNi_(0.8)Co_(0.1)Mn_(0.1)O_(2)(NCM811)cathodes and graphite anodes.The capacity retention of the NCM811 elec-trode increases from 5%to 95%after 1000 cycles at 1 C(3.0-4.5 V),while that of the graphite anode is improved from 22%to 92%after 400 cycles at 0.2 C(0.005-3.0 V).The NCM811//graphite pouch cell exhibits enhanced retention,rising from 12%to 66%at 25℃and from 3%to 65%at 60℃after 300 cycles at 0.2 C.Spectroscopic characterization and theoretical calculations reveal that the steric hindrance of the Si-O-CH_(3)groups in DMSP creates a weakly solvating structure,promoting the formation of Lit^(+)-FSI^(-)ion pairs and aggregation clusters,which enriches the electrode interphase with LiF,Li_(3)N,and Li_(2)SO_(3).Furthermore,DMSP with abundant Si-O effectively enhances the elasticity of the interphase layer,scav-enging harmful substances such as HF and suppressing gas evolution and transition metal dissolution.The simplicity of the DMSP-based electrolyte formulation,coupled with its superior performance,ensures scalability for large-scale manufacturing and practical application in the high-voltage battery.This work provides critical insights into improving interfacial chemistry and addressing compatibility issues in high-voltageNi-rich cathodes.

文摘Solid-state batteries(SSBs) are highly attractive on account of their high energy density and good safety.In high-voltage and high-current conditions,however,the interface reactions,structural changes,and decomposition of the electrolyte impede the transmission of lithium ions in all-solid-state lithium batteries(ASSLBs),significantly reducing the charging and discharging capacity and cycling stability of the battery and therefore restricting its practical applications.The main content of review is to conduct an in-depth analysis of the existing problems of solid-state batteries from the aspects of interface reactions,material failure,ion migration,and dendrite growth,and points out the main factors influencing the electrochemical performance of ASSLBs.Additionally,the compatibility and ion conduction mechanisms between polymer electrolytes,inorganic solid electrolytes,and composite electrolytes and the electrode materials are discussed.Furthermore,the perspectives of electrode materials,electrolyte properties,and interface modification are summarized and prospected,providing new optimization directions for the future commercialization of high-voltage solid-state electrolytes.

文摘Li/Mn-rich layered oxide(LMR)cathode active materials offer remarkably high specific discharge capacity(>250 mAh g^(-1))from both cationic and anionic redox.The latter necessitates harsh charging conditions to high cathode potentials(>4.5 V vs Li|Li^(+)),which is accompanied by lattice oxygen release,phase transformation,voltage fade,and transition metal(TM)dissolution.In cells with graphite anode,TM dissolution is particularly detrimental as it initiates electrode crosstalk.Lithium difluorophosphate(LiDFP)is known for its pivotal role in suppressing electrode crosstalk through TM scavenging.In LMR‖graphite cells charged to an upper cutoff voltage(UCV)of 4.5 V,effective TM scavenging effects of LiDFP are observed.In contrast,for an UCV of 4.7 V,the scavenging effects are limited due to more severe TM dissolution compared an UCV of 4.5V.Given the saturation in solubility of the TM scavenging agents,which are LiDFP decomposition products,e.g.,PO_(4)^(3-) and PO_(3)F^(2-),higher concentrations of the LiDFP as precursor"cannot enhance the amount of scavenging species,they rather start to precipitate and damage the anode.

文摘Lithium-ion batteries are essential for modern energy storage,yet achieving simultaneous high-temperature and high-voltage operation remains challenging due to interfacial compatibility.In this study,we introduce a polyetherimide(PEI)-polyimide(PI)functional coating on the separator that enhances wettability,thermal stability,and mechanical strength,while markedly improving cathode stability under harsh conditions.By integrating theoretical calculations with experimental validation,we demonstrate that the PEI/PI coating modulates the solvation structure of lithium-ions,thereby facilitating the interfacial desolvation process.More importantly,the PEI/PI layer regulates electrolyte decomposition at the interface,promoting the formation of a uniform and thermally stable cathode-electrolyte interphase.Consequently,LiCoO_(2)cathodes exhibit improved cycling performance at 60°C.Overall,this work underscores the pivotal role of separator coatings in governing interfacial chemistry and provides a viable strategy for designing high-performance lithium-ion batteries capable of enduring both high temperatures and high.

文摘Weakly solvating electrolyte(WSE)demonstrates superior compatibility with lithium(Li)metal batteries(LMBs).However,its application in fast-charging high-voltage LMBs is challenging.Here,we propose a diluent modified WSE for fast-charging high-voltage LMBs,which is formed by adding diluent of 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl ether(TTE)into the tetrahydropyran(THP)based WSE.A relatively loose solvation structure is formed due to the formation of weak hydrogen bond between TTE and THP,which accelerates the de-solvation kinetics of Li~+.Besides,more anions are involved in solvation structure in the presence of TTE,yielding inorganic-rich interphases with improved stability.Li(30μm)||Li Ni_(0.5)Co_(0.2)Mn_(0.3)O_(2)(4.1 mAh/cm^(2))batteries with the TTE modified WSE retain over 64%capacity retention after 175 cycles under high rate of 3 C and high-voltage of 4.5 V,much better than that with pure THP based WSE.This work points out that the combination of diluent with weakly solvating solvent is a promising approach to develop high performance electrolytes for fast-charging high-voltage LMBs.

文摘Poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO)solid electrolytes hold great promise in all-solid-state lithium batteries(ASSLBs)with high-energy and safety capabilities.However,the PEO electrolyte is hardly resistant to degrade electrochemically at high voltages(>4 V)in ASSLBs.Herein,we design and prepare a highly efficient and stable PEO-based solid electrolyte(denoted as PEO-L/DTPEO)applied to high-voltage ASSLBs,in which the Li_(6.4)La_(3)Zr_(1.4)Ta_(0.6)O_(12)(LLZTO)-containing PEO(PEO-L)serves as a bulk of the electrolyte and the PEO with dualsalts(LiDFOB and high-concentration LiTFSI)forms an ultrathin coating layer(DT-PEO)covering on PEO-L.With 3%coating layer,the PEO-L/DT-PEO electrolyte exhibits an enhanced decomposition potential(>4.9 V vs.Li/Li^(+))originating from the high concentration of LiTFSI as well as renders Al foil current collector high anticorrosion by the introduction of LiDFOB.Upon coupling with highvoltage NCM811 cathode,the DT-PEO efficiently suppresses the interfacial degradation kinetics between electrolyte and cathode,and slows down the irreversible phase change of NCM811.The assembled PEO-L/DT-PEObased Li/NCM811 battery exhibits an excellent cycling stability of remaining 63.0%after 400 cycles at a cutoff voltage of 4.2 V as well as an initial discharge specific capacity of 164.5 mAh g^(-1)at a rate of 0.4C.This work offers a facile and feasible strategy to overcoming interface decomposition of the PEO electrolyte matching perfectly with high-voltage cathode for high-performance ASSLBs.
