Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The widespread use of batteries as the most common energy storage systems in automotive and consumer electronics have made it an integral part of our daily business. The crucial concern like battery lifetime, thus, requires principal attention that is often tackled by modeling works. Researchers have made remarkable achievements to develop models that could predict the battery lifetime, state of health (SoH), remaining useful life, etc. outlining the aging behavior. Numerous modeling methodologies from physics-based to black-box types have enriched the prediction modeling accuracy by several folds.

This Special Issue highlights the research efforts towards advanced lifetime prediction methodologies and/or algorithms development works in terms of contributions (research/perspective/review articles). This is the second volume of the series following up the excellent collection of the works in the first issue. Novel methodologies and characterization techniques to predict battery aging could also be included for battery diagnosis and prognosis from cell to pack level. The authors are encouraged to submit original articles addressing potential but not limited to the following topics.

  • Battery aging and lifetime prediction models
  • Battery state of X (SoC, SoH, SoE, SoP, SoS) estimation
  • Early life and Remaining useful life (RUL) prediction
  • Rest time based or accelerated aging studies
  • Advanced algorithms for on-board predictions
  • Diagnosis and prognosis of battery systems
  • Physics-based degradation modeling
  • Model development using field-data (e-mobility & stationary)
  • Machine learning or data-driven battery predictions
  • Review of state-of-the-art battery modeling methodologies

Zinc–air batteries possess advantages such as high energy density, low operational costs, and abundant reserves of raw materials, demonstrating broad prospects for applications in areas like stationary power supplies and emergency power sources. However, despite significant advancements in zinc–air battery technology, a comprehensive measurement model for zinc–air battery parameters is still lacking. This paper utilizes a gas diffusion model to separately calculate the concentration polarization of zinc–air batteries, decoupling it from electrochemical polarization and ohmic polarization, simplifying the equivalent circuit model of zinc–air batteries into a first-order RC circuit. Subsequently, based on the simplified equivalent circuit model and gas diffusion model, a zinc–air battery parameter measurement technique utilizing current pulse methods is proposed, with predictions made for the dynamic voltage response during current pulse discharges. Validation of this method was conducted through single current pulses and step current pulses. Experimental results demonstrate the method’s capability to accurately measure zinc–air battery parameters and predict the dynamic voltage response. Full article

Untethered robots carry their own power supply in the form of a battery pack, which has a crucial impact on the robot’s performance. Although battery technologies are richly studied and optimized for applications such as electric vehicles, computers and smartphones, they are often a mere afterthought in the design process of a robot system. This tutorial paper proposes criteria to evaluate the suitability of different battery technologies for robotic applications. Taking into consideration the requirements of different applications, the capabilities of relevant battery technologies are evaluated and compared. The tutorial also discusses current limitations and new technological developments, pointing out opportunities for interdisciplinary research between the battery technology and robotics communities.
