Multilayer dielectric capacitors were fabricated from nanocomposite precursor comprised of BaTiO 3@ TiO 2 core–shell nanosized particles and poly(vinylidene fluoride–hexafluoropropylene) (P(VDF–HFP)) polymer matrix (20 vol%). The multilayer capacitors showed very high discharge speed and high discharged energy density of around 2.5 J/cm3 at its breakdown field (~ 166 MV/m). The energy density of the nanocomposite multilayer capacitors was substantially higher than the energy density of commercially used power capacitors. Low cost, flexible structure, high discharge rate and energy density suggest that the nanocomposite multilayer capacitors are promising for energy storage applications in many power devices and systems.

Olivine compounds LiFePO4 were prepared by the solid state reaction, and the electrochemical properties were studied with the composite cathode of LiFePO4/mesocarbon nanobead. High discharge rate performance can be achieved with the designed composite cathode of LiFePO4/mesocarbon nanobead. According to the experiment results, batteries with the composite cathode deliver discharge capacity of 1087mAh for 18650 type cell at 20C discharge rate at room temperature. The analysis shows that the uniformity of mesocarbon nanobead around LiFePO4 can supply enough change for electron transporting, which can enhance the rate capability for LiFePO4 cathode lithium ion batteries. It is confirmed that lithium ion batteries with LiFePO4 as cathode are suitable to electric vehicle application.

ABSTRACT This paper explores the challenges involved with the recovery of oil from a discharge canal with limited access and high relative currents. In March 1999, a sheen was observed in the cooling water discharge canal of Consolidated Edison's 2.5-million kilowatt generating station in Queens (New York City), New York At the time the sheen was discovered, the entire station had been shut down for several months for a maintenance outage. As the tide rose and fell in the East River, into which the discharge canal emptied, the oil sheen moved in and out of a 1,000-foot long tunnel connecting the generating station to the canal. The major challenges to the recovery and removal of the oil sheen were: (1) the low over head of the discharge tunnel and canal support girders, which prevented getting a skimmer into the tunnel and canal; (2) the high discharge rate of the station's cooling water pump; and (3) skimming the sheen in a 3-to 5-knot current. Consolidated Edison is a member of Clean Harbors Cooperative, L.L.C, which was brought in to remove the sheen. This was accomplished utilizing two JBF Scientific DIP Belt Skimmers, which were set up parallel to the current flow, and deflection booming.

Lithium-ion batteries are an attractive power source in many scenarios. In some particular cases, including providing backup power for drones, frequency modulation, and powering electric tools, lithium-ion batteries are required to discharge at a high rate (2~20 C). In this work, we present a method to estimate the state of health (SOH) of lithium-ion batteries with a high discharge rate using the battery’s impedance at three characteristic frequencies. Firstly, a battery model is used to fit the impedance spectrum of twelve LiFePO4 batteries. Secondly, a basic estimation model is built to estimate the SOH of the batteries via the parameters of the battery model. The model is trained using the data of six batteries and is tested on another six. The RMS of relative error of the model is lower than 4.2% at 10 C and lower than 2.8% at 15 C, even when the low-frequency feature of the impedance spectrum is ignored. Thirdly, we adapt the basic model so that the SOH estimation can be performed only using the battery’s impedance at three characteristic frequencies without having to measure the entire impedance spectrum. The RMS of relative error of this adapted model at 10 C and 15 C is 3.11% and 4.25%, respectively.

The as-prepared LMNO-850 with 100–200 nm spherical-like shape primary particles exhibits superior cycling performance even at high discharge rate. The capacity fading in the first 50 cycles may be caused by interfacial side-reactions between electrode and electrolyte.

High discharge rate zinc electrode is prepared from electrodeposition process. The electrolytic bath consists of zinc chloride as the metal source and ammonium chloride as the supporting electrolyte. The concentration of the supporting electrolyte is varied from zero until 4 M, while the concentration of zinc chloride is fixed at 2 M. The aim is to produce a porous zinc coating with an enhanced and intimate interfacial area per unit volume. These characteristics shall contribute towards reduced ohmic losses, improved active material utilization, and subsequently producing high rate capacity electrochemical cell. Nitrogen physisorption at 77 K is used to measure the BET surface area and pore volume density of the zinc electrodeposits. The electrodeposited zinc electrodes are then fabricated into alkaline zinc-air microbattery measuring 1 cm2 area x ca. 305 µm thick. The use of inorganic MCM-41 membrane separator enables the fabrication of a compact cell design. The quality of the electrodeposited zinc electrodes is gauged directly from the electrochemical performance of zinc-air cell. Zinc electrodeposits prepared from electrolytic bath of 2 M NH4Cl produces the highest discharge capacity.ABSTRAK: Elektrod zink dengan kadar discas tinggi telah dihasilkan dengan proses saduran elektrokimia. Takungan elektrolit terdiri daripada zink klorida sebagai sumber logam dan ammonium klorida sebagai elektrolit sokongan. Kepekatan elektrolit sokongan diubah daripada sifar hingga 4 M, sementara kepekatan zink klorida ditetapkan pada 2 M. Ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan saduran zink yang poros dengan luas permukaan per unit isipadu dan sentuhan antaramuka yang dipertingkatkan. Ciri-ciri ini akan menyumbang terhadap pengurangan kehilangan disebabkan kerintangan, pertambahan dalam gunapakai bahan aktif dan akhirnya menghasilkan sel elektrokimia berprestasi tinggi. Physisorpsi nitrogen pada 77 K telah digunakan untuk mengukur luas permukaan BET dan isipadu liang saduran zink. Saduran zink kemudiannya dijadikan elektrod bagi bateri mikro zink-udara beralkali dengan saiz 1 cm2 luas x ca. 305 µm tebal. Penggunaan membran tak organik MCM-41 membolehkan pembuatan sel dengan rekabentuk padat. Kualiti elektrod saduran zink telah dinilai secara lansung daraipada prestasi elektrokimia sel zink-udara. Saduran zink yang disediakan daripada takungan elektrolit 2 M NH4Cl menghasilkan kapasiti discas tertinggi.KEY WORDS (keyword)):  Zinc electrodeposition, High discharge rate electrode, MCM-41 separator, Zinc-air cell and Alkaline microbattery.
