Study on closed loop charging strategy of battery based on Maas's law
In the process of battery charging, the influence of different charging methods on battery life is different. Traditional charging methods such as constant voltage charging, constant current charge, two phase charge, or three phase charge, these methods to a certain extent accelerate the aging of the battery. In this paper, based on the theory of Maas best charge curve and closed-loop control, a charging strategy is designed. The experimental results show that the designed charging strategy has a substantial improvement in the aspect of extending battery life and safety protection.
Novel charge/discharge method for lead acid battery by high-pressure crystallization
Abstract The electrical charging and discharging of a battery involves the crystallization of electrolytes or metal oxides on both electrodes. Crystallization technology that can control nucleation, growth, and distribution of solute crystals might be effective for improving battery properties. We performed charge/discharge cycling of a lead acid battery under high pressure. The charging efficiency at high pressure was compared with that at atmospheric pressure. Charging efficiency at high pressure was found to be higher than that at atmospheric pressure under a high charging current. Observation of the positive electrode by scanning electron microscopy revealed that high pressure caused the crystals on the electrode to become extremely fine.
Nucleation of ammonium salts in aqueous solution by high pressure
We demonstrate a new apparatus for optical observation under high pressure conditions with 4-way optical glasses. We use the proposed apparatus to study solubility of ammonium salts in aqueous solutions and to measure the nucleation pressure for different concentrations of salts in the solution. Despite the fact that the solubility of electrolytes usually increases as the pressure increases, it is found that the solubility of ammonium salts decreases as the pressure increases. In both cases, high pressure can be used towards a crystallization process. Finally, we observe high pressure induced nucleation of electrolytes in an aqueous solution.
