Special Issue Information

The use of fossil fuels causes many threats to human life, out of which global warming is the most serious one. The use of renewable energy may solve the issues originating from use of fossil fuels; however, their dependency on weather and location creates a bottleneck in universal adoption of them due to a mismatch between demand and supply. Storage devices are quite useful to fulfil the gap between demand and supply and recent developments in the field of Li-ion batteries render them frontline contenders. Due to limited stocks of Li on earth, an alternative is required, which has brought Na-ion batteries into picture. This Special Issue focuses on the rigorously peer-reviewed research articles, reviews, minireviews and perspective on the recent advancements in the field of electrochemical energy storage, conversion reactions, reaction mechanism of electrode materials, lithium and sodium ion batteries, etc. The submissions are not limited to the listed topics but can be based on other related fields as well.

In this paper, the applicability of the Peukert equation and its generalizations were investigated for capacity evaluation of automotive-grade lithium-ion batteries. It is proved that the classical Peukert equation is applicable within the range of the discharge currents from 0.2Cn to 2Cn (Cn is the nominal battery capacity). As a rule, the operating currents of many automotive-grade lithium-ion batteries are exactly within this range of the discharge currents. That is why, successfully, the classical Peukert equation is used in many analytical models developed for these batteries. The generalized Peukert equation C = Cm/(1 + (i/i0)n) is applicable within the discharge currents range from zero to approximately 10Cn. All kinds of operating discharge currents (including both very small ones and powerful short-term bursts) fall into this discharge currents range. The modified Peukert equation C = Cm(1 − i/i1)/((1 − i/i1) + (i/i0)n) is applicable at any discharge currents. This equation takes into account the battery’s internal resistance and has the smallest error of experimental data approximation. That is why the discussed modified Peukert equation is most preferable for use in analytical models of automotive-grade lithium-ion batteries. The paper shows that all the parameters of the generalized Peukert equations have a clear electrochemical meaning in contrast to the classical Peukert equation, where all the parameters are just empirical constants.

All-solid-state Li-S batteries (use of solid electrolyte LiBH4) were prepared using cathodes of a homogeneous mixture of graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with sulfur (S) and solid electrolyte lithium borohydride (LiBH4), and their electrochemical performance was reported. The use of LiBH4 and its compatibility with Li metal permits the utilization of Li anode that improves the vitality of composite electrodes. The GO-S and rGO-S nanocomposites with different proportions have been synthesized. Their structural and morphological characterizations were performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the results are presented. The electrochemical performance was tested by galvanostatic charge-discharge measurements at a 0.1 C-rate. The results presented here demonstrate the successful implementation of GO-S composites in an all-solid-state battery. Full article
