Over time, the performanceof PV modules gradually declines due to internal degradation and external environmental factors.This cumulativedegradation impacts the overall reliability of photovoltaic power generation. This study addresses the complexdegradation process of PV modules by developing a two-stage Wiener process model. This approach accountsfor the distinct phases of degradation resulting from module aging and environmental influences. A powerdegradation model based on the two-stage Wiener process is constructed to describe individual differences inmodule degradation processes. To estimate the model parameters, a combination of the Expectation-Maximization(EM) algorithm and the Bayesian method is employed. Furthermore, the Schwarz Information Criterion (SIC) isutilized to identify critical change points in PV module degradation trajectories. To validate the universality andeffectiveness of the proposed method, a comparative analysis is conducted against other established life predictiontechniques for PV modules.展开更多

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.展开更多

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.

文摘Thermal batteries are a type of thermally activated reserve battery,where the cathode material significantly influences the operating voltage and specific capacity.In this work,Cu_(2)O–CuO nanowires are prepared by in-situ thermal oxidation method onto Cu foam,which are further coated with a carbon layer derived from polydopamine(PDA).The morphology of the nanowires has been examined using scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).The material shows a kind of core–shell structure,with CuO as the shell and Cu_(2)O as the core.To further explore the interaction between the material and lithium-ion(Li^(+)),the Lit adsorption energies of CuO and Cu_(2)O were calculated,revealing a stronger affinity of Li^(+) for CuO.The unique core–shell nanowire structure of Cu_(2)O–CuO can provide a good Li^(+)adsorption with the outer layer CuO and excellent structural stability with the inner layer Cu_(2)O.When applied in thermal batteries,Cu_(2)O–CuO–C nanowires exhibit specific capacity and specific energy of 326 mAh g^(-1)and 697 Wh kg^(-1)at a cut-off voltage of 1.5 V both of which are higher than those of Cu_(2)O–CuO(238 mAh g^(-1)and 445 Wh kg^(-1)).The discharge process includes the insertion of lithium ions and subsequent reduction reactions,ultimately resulting in the formation of lithium oxide and copper.
文摘This paper focuses on the high-voltage safety of drive motor systems in new energy vehicles and conducts standardized research on functional safety design in the concept phase. 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P2-type layered oxide Na_(2/3)Ni_(1/3)Mn_(2/3)O_(2)(NM)is a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries(SIBs).However,the severe irreversible phase transition,sluggish Na+diffusion kinetics,and interfacial side reactions at high-voltage result in grievous capacity degradation and inferior electrochemical performance.Herein,a dual-function strategy of entropy tuning and artificial cathode electrolyte interface(CEI)layer construction is reported to generate a novel P2-type medium-entropy Na_(0.75)Li_(0.1)Mg_(0.05)Ni_(0.18)Mn_(0.66)Ta_(0.01)O_(2)with NaTaO_(3)surface modification(LMNMT)to address the aforementioned issues.In situ X-ray diffraction reveals that LMNMT exhibits a near zero-strain phase transition with a volume change of only 1.4%,which is significantly lower than that of NM(20.9%),indicating that entropy tuning effectively suppresses irreversible phase transitions and enhances ion diffusion.Kinetic analysis and post-cycling interfacial characterization further confirm that the artificial CEI layer promotes the formation of a stable,thin NaF-rich CEI and reduces interfacial side reactions,thereby further enhancing ion transport kinetics and surface/interface stability.Consequently,the LMNMT electrode exhibits outstanding rate capability(46 mA h g^(−1)at 20 C)and cycling stability(89.5%capacity retention after 200 cycles at 2 C)within the voltage range of 2–4.35 V.The LMNMT also exhibits superior all-climate performance and air stability.This study provides a novel path for the design of high-voltage cathode materials for SIBs.

文摘Efficient,safe,and reliable energy output from high-energy-density lithium metal batteries(LMBs)at all climates is crucial for portable electronic devices operating in complex environments.The performance of corresponding cathodes and lithium(Li)metal anodes,however,faces significant challenges under such demanding conditions.Herein,a nonflammable electrolyte for high-voltage Li‖LCO cells has been designed,including partially-fluorinated ethyl 4,4,4-trifluorobutyrate(ETFB)as the key solvent,guided by theoretical calculations.With this ETFB-based electrolyte,Li‖LCO cells exhibit enhanced reversible capacities and superior capacity retention at an elevated charge voltage of 4.5 V and a wide operating temperature range spanning from-60℃to 70℃.The cells achieve 67.1%discharge capacity at-60℃,relative to room temperature capacity,and 85.9%100th-cycle retention at 70℃.The outstanding properties are attributed to the LiF-rich interphases formed in the ETFB-based electrolyte with a finetuned solvation structure,in which the coordination environment in the vicinity of Li^(+)cations and the distance between anion and solvents are subtly adjusted by introducing ETFB.This solvation structure has been mutually elucidated through joint spectra characterizations and atomistic simulations.This work presents a new strategy for the design of electrolytes to achieve all-climate reliable and safe application of LMBs.

文摘Sodium-ion batteries are the prominent device for stationary energy storage system and low-speed electric vehicles.However,the practical application is still limited by the unsatisfied performance and high cost of the cathode side,which strictly requires the development of high voltage,high capacity,and earth-abundant cathode material.Ni-Fe-Mn ternary layered oxide has been recognized as one of the most promising standard type of cathodes.However,the composition and phase structure on high-voltage characteristics have not been well investigated.Herein,selecting the typically high-voltage cathode of P2-Na_(0.67)Ni_(0.33)Mn_(0.67)O_(2)as a parent material,we fabricate ten Ni-Fe-Mn ternary layered oxides through replacing the Ni,Mn,or both Ni and Mn by Fe.The thermodynamically stable phase diagram for those materials is presented.The electrochemical properties for all the samples are investigated in detail.Three potential Ni-Fe-Mn ternary layered oxides are picked up considering the energy density,cycle stability,kinetics,cost price,and working voltage,which demonstrate great potential for surpassing the performance of lithium iron phosphate.The related electrochemical reaction and fading mechanism are well revealed.This work provides some new foundational Ni-Fe-Mn ternary layered materials for high-voltage sodium-ion batteries.

文摘Ni-rich LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2(NCM)cathodes in layered oxide cathodes are attractive for high-energy lithium-ion batteries but suffer from rapid capacity fade and thermal instability at high charge voltages.In this study,we propose an entropy-assisted multi-element doping strategy to mitigate these issues.Specifically,two routes are designed and compared:bulk-like localized high-entropy doping(BHE-NCM)and surface-distributed high-entropy-zone doping(SHE-NCM).The surface entropy-doped NCM cathode delivers enhanced electrochemical performance,including higher capacity retention under 4.5 V cycling and superior rate capability,compared to both bulk-like and pristine counterparts.Comprehensive material characterization reveals that surface-localized doping stabilizes the layered structure with reduced microcrack formation and creates a uniform dopant-rich surface region with improved thermal and electrochemical stability.Overall,entropy-assisted doping at the near surface zone effectively alleviates structural degradation and interface reactions in Ni-rich NCM,enabling improved cycling performance at high voltage.This work highlights the significance of surface entropy engineering as a promising strategy for designing high-voltage cathodes with improved safety and longevity.

文摘The absence of efficient ion transport pathways in composite solid-state electrolytes(CSEs)usually results in low ionic conductivity,which remains a great challenge for developing solid-state lithiummetal batteries(SLMBs).Herein,we report achieving accelerated Li^(+)conduction in CSEs by a novel activation of the interfacial dipole layer.Polycationic ionic liquids and polyacrylonitrile with highly polar functional groups(-C≡N)are utilized to modulate the interfacial dipole layer in MOF-based CSEs,facilitating long-range pathways for the connectivity of Li^(+)conduction and enhancing rapid transport kinetics.The as-synthesized CSEs exhibit a high ionic conductivity of 0.59 mS cm^(-1)and a lithium transfer number of 0.85.The assembled SLMBs(Li/CSE/LiNi_(0.9)Co_(0.05)Mn_(0.05)O_(2))delivered a high-capacity retention of 88.7%with a minimal discharge voltage attenuation of 17.1 mV after 500 cycles(0.03 mV per cycle)at0.5 C.This work offers an effective approach to creating interpenetrating lithium-ion transport pathways with rapid ion transport kinetics for solid-state electrolytes,thereby advancing the development of solidstate lithium metal batteries.

文摘The fabrication of efficient and stable flexible perovskite solar modules(F-PSMs)using poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine](PTAA)remains a significant challenge due to its hydrophobic properties and the mismatch in interface energy-level alignment.Here,we introduced[2-(3,6-dimethoxy-9H-carba zol-9-yl)ethyl]phosphonic acid(MeO-2PACz)to modify the PTAA layer,which effectively suppressed surface potential fluctuations and aligned energy levels at the interface of PTAA/perovskite.Additionally,MeO-2PACz enhanced the hydrophilicity of PTAA,facilitating the fabrication of dense,uniform,and pinhole-free perovskite films on large-area flexible substrates.As a result,we achieved an F-PSM with a power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 16.6% and an aperture area of 64 cm^(2),which is the highest reported value among F-PSMs with an active area exceeding 35 cm^(2)based on PTAA.Moreover,the encapsulated module demonstrated outstanding long-term operational stability,retaining 90.2% of its initial efficiency after 1000 bending cycles(5 mm radius),87.2% after 1000 h of continuous illumination,and 80.3% under combined thermal and humid conditions(85℃ and 85% relative humidity),representing one of the most stable F-PSMs reported to date.

文摘The integration of large-scale new energy and high-capacity DC transmission leads to a reduction in system inertia.Grid-forming renewable energy sources(GF-RES)has a significant improvement effect on system inertia.Commutation failure faults may cause a short-term reactive power surplus at the sending end and trigger transient overvoltage,threatening the safe and stable operation of the power grid.However,there is a lack of research on the calculation method of transient overvoltage caused by commutation failure in high-voltage DC transmission systems with grid-forming renewable energy sources integration.Based on the existing equivalent model of highvoltage DC transmission systems at the sending end,this paper proposes to construct a model of the high-voltage DC transmission system at the sending end with grid-forming renewable energy sources.The paper first clarifies the mechanism of overvoltage generation,then considers the reactive power droop control characteristics of GF-RES,and derives the transient voltage calculation model of theDC transmission system with GF-RES integration.It also proposes a calculation method for transient overvoltage at the sending-end converter bus with GF-RES integration.Based on the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation platform,this paper builds an experimental simulation model.By constructing three different experimental scenarios,the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed transient overvoltage calculation method are verified,with a calculation error within 5%.At the same time,this paper quantitatively analyzes the impact of grid strength,new energy proportion,and rated transmission power on transient overvoltage from three different perspectives.

文摘Self-assembled prodrug nanomedicine has emerged as an advanced platform for antitumor therapy,mainly comprise drug modules,response modules and modification modules.However,existing studies usually compare the differences between single types of modification modules,neglecting the impact of steric-hindrance effect caused by chemical structure.Herein,single-tailed modification module with low-steric-hindrance effect and two-tailed modification module with high-steric-hindrance effect were selected to construct paclitaxel prodrugs(P-LA_(C18)and P-BAC18),and the in-depth insights of the sterichindrance effect on prodrug nanoassemblies were explored.Notably,the size stability of the two-tailed prodrugs was enhanced due to improved intermolecular interactions and steric hindrance.Single-tailed prodrug nanoassemblies were more susceptible to attack by redox agents,showing faster drug release and stronger antitumor efficacy,but with poorer safety.In contrast,two-tailed prodrug nanoassemblies exhibited significant advantages in terms of pharmacokinetics,tumor accumulation and safety due to the good size stability,thus ensuring equivalent antitumor efficacy at tolerance dose.These findings highlighted the critical role of steric-hindrance effect of the modification module in regulating the structureactivity relationship of prodrug nanoassemblies and proposed new perspectives into the precise design of self-assembled prodrugs for high-performance cancer therapeutics.

文摘Increasing the charging cut-off voltage can significantly enhance the energy density of LiCoO_(2).However,the continuous deterioration of interface structure and transport kinetics under high voltage poses challenges to electrochemical stability.This work proposes to in-situ construct a uniform element gradient modification structure on the surface and subsurface of LiCoO_(2).The modification structure contains an Sb_(2)O_(3)&SbF_(x)composite coating layer and an Sb-F doped spinel-like transition layer,simultaneously.The modified sample maintains an initial discharge specific capacity of 221.2 mA h g^(-1)and a capacity retention of 86%after 200 cycles at 3–4.6 V and 0.5 C.Moreover,it has a discharge specific capacity of163.3 mA h g^(-1)at a high rate of 5 C.Meanwhile,combining highly electronegative Sb^(3+)&F^(-)that widen the Li^(+)transport channel with the amorphous coating of F^(-)doped Sb_(2)O_(3)with higher conductivity improves the interface transport kinetics.This breaks the stereotypical view in traditional concepts that fluorinated coatings or inert metal oxide coatings inhibit Li^(+)transport.Moreover,the inert composite coating combined with Sb–O–F with high bond energy stabilizes the surface structure.A series of characterizations confirm that the joint improvement of interface structure stability and transport kinetics significantly enhances the electrochemical performance of LiCoO_(2).
