Advanced Lithium-Ion Battery Prognostics: A Comprehensive Review of Machine Learning Approaches for Remaining Useful Life Prediction
Abstract: The lithium-ion battery (LIB), as one of the main sources for portable power systems, has been increasingly popular owing to its widespread applications in electric vehicles, consumer electronics, aerospace and renewable energy. Despite their advantages in high energy density and long cycle life, LIBs suffer from degradation over time of aging and cycling, resulting in loss of performance, safety issues, and economic bottlenecks. Predicting their Remaining Useful Life (RUL) is …

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Corrosion-Induced Failures in Copper-Tin Alloy (Cu-Sn) and Aluminum-Magnesium Alloy (Al-Mg) Connectors: A Stress–Corrosion Coupling Analysis
Abstract: The utilization of an integrated experimental and finite element modelling (FEM) methodology, this study investigates the degradation and failure mechanisms in polymer composite electrical connectors exposed to aggressive environmental conditions. Epoxy- and polyamide-based composites, reinforced with carbon and glass fibers, were subjected to accelerated salt spray and humidity–temperature cycles to simulate prolonged outdoor exposure. Electrochemical and environmental aging experiments revealed that chloride ions and moisture ingress were responsible for matrix …

Exploration of Diverse Epoxy-Based Surface Coating Methods for Enhancing Anticorrosion Characteristics
Abstract: Epoxy-based polymers, commonly referred to as polyepoxides, constitute one of the most versatile and widely adopted categories of polymeric materials due to their exceptional structural, mechanical, and chemical characteristics. Their unique macromolecular framework enables strong interfacial bonding, high mechanical stability, and superior resistance to environmental and chemical degradation, positioning them as advanced alternatives to many traditional organic corrosion inhibitors that often fail under prolonged exposure to aggressive conditions When polyepoxides …

Multi-Scale Analysis of Polymer Based Energy Storage Systems for High Performance Battery Applications
Abstract: The energy storage systems based on polymers are becoming promising materials for the next generation of high performance batteries because of their excellent mechanical flexibility, improved safety, and favorable electrochemical properties. Even with computational tools in Python, polymer-based energy storage systems remain plagued by poor ionic conductivity, complicated electrochemical reactions and potential thermal runaway. Therefore, a multi-scale model is proposed to improve battery performance, thermal stability, reliability, and large-scale deployment …
