▼ The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate alternative
battery chemistries for their usage as a substation
battery bank. Lithium-ion and the previously untested (as a station back up) sodium-nickel-chloride batteries were chosen. Experimental setup for lithium-ion
battery was built and tests were performed showing
battery changes over the course of eighteen months. In addition to calendar aging an accelerated aging test using high temperatures was developed and tested. An experimental setup for sodium-nickel-chloride batteries was also designed with the batteries tested in substation conditions. Furthermore, capacity results from eighteen months of tests are discussed. The thesis is concluded by offering sizing procedures for sodium-nickel-chloride batteries and by developing asset health indexes and a maintenance framework based on reliability centered maintenance.

▼ One of the leading energy sources used in our modern consumer society is lithium batteries. Lithium batteries are expected to become the new source of fuel as demand grows for smaller, longer-lasting devices. Lithium-based batteries are in smartphones, digital cameras, laptops, and even electric cars. However, the nature of lithium-based batteries makes it highly volatile. These batteries can catch on fire due to internal and external factors; the
battery may short circuit or catch on fire due to extreme heat or physical damage. The number of fires and the cost of these fires are growing. In California, there are currently no major standards for disposing or recycling lithium-ion batteries beyond categorizing them as a hazardous waste. The laws regarding rechargeable batteries are outdated in terms of technology. Furthermore, the low recycling rate and improper dispose of these batteries are leading to these fires. Therefore, lithium
battery fires are an urgent public policy issue that California???s policymakers need to address. For this reason, the thesis topic I studied is, ???In the State of California, the current management of Lithium batteries throughout the disposal process is causing too many costly fires.??? The purpose of my thesis is to suggest a possible policy solution at the state-level for the increasing occurrence of Lithium-ion
battery fires in California. To solve this policy problem, I followed Bardach's (2009) ???Eightfold Path for Policy Analysis??? and used the Alternative Matrix (CAM) analysis to evaluate the policy alternatives for consideration. I concluded my study by suggesting a hybrid solution, which includes: (1) consumer education, (2) governmental oversight program, and (3) a fire suppression system in facilities.

▼ The relationship between
battery operation and their degradation and service life is complex and
not well synthesized or communicated. There is a resulting lack of awareness about best practices that
influence service life and degradation.
Battery degradation causes premature replacement or product
retirement, resulting in environmental burdens from producing and processing new
battery materials, as
well as early end-of-life burdens. It also imposes a significant cost on the consumer, as batteries can
contribute to over 25% of the product cost for consumer electronics, over 35% for electric vehicles, and
over 50% for power tools. We review and present mechanisms, methods, and guidelines focused on
preserving
battery health and limiting degradation. The review includes academic literature as well as
reports and information published by industry. The goal is to provide practical guidance, metrics, and
methods to improve environmental performance of
battery systems used in electronics (i.e., cellphones
and laptops), vehicles, and cordless power tools to ultimately better inform users as well as
battery
designers, suppliers, vehicle and device manufacturers, and material recovery and recycling
organizations.

▼ It has long been recognized that secondary batteries containing lithium metal anodes have some of the highest theoretical energy densities of known
battery chemistries, due to the light weight and low deposition potential of lithium metal. Lithium metal batteries have several roadblocks to effective, wide-spread implementation: lithium metal is reactive with many lithium-ion electrolytes causing low coulombic efficiency and it electrodeposits unevenly upon recharge, creating a safety hazard due to potential short-circuit. Polymer electrolytes have been under investigation for several years due to their relatively low reactivity with lithium metal and potential to electrodeposit more uniformly, due to their higher mechanical strength. This dissertation researches polymer-ceramic hybrid electrolytes with several goals: improving room temperature ionic conductivity of the electrolytes while maintaining chemical stability and mechanical integrity, allowing tunability of mechanical properties, improving lithium-ion transference number of the electrolyte, and studying the lithium metal dendrite growth as a function of electrolyte properties. It is found that constraint of the polymer chain by tethering to a nanoparticle improves ambient temperature ionic conductivity by mitigating matrix crystallization. Immobilization of anionic ligands onto the nanoparticle is found to be a facile way to synthesize nanometric lithium salts with improved transference numbers; importantly, the chemistry of the suspending solvent is found to have a significant impact on ionic conductivity. It is found that polyether-based electrolytes with and without hybrid nanoparticle fillers exhibit the same lithium metal
battery lifetime regardless of mechanical properties or ionic conductivity. Surprisingly, certain copolymer electrolytes are found to provide for exceeding longer lifetimes.

▼ Le secteur des TIC (Technologies de l'Information et
de la Communication) est grand consommateur d'énergie (assemblage
d'appareils, constructions de réseaux, opérations, refroidissement
et autres). Des études montrent que l'ensemble des activités de
l'informatique en nuage consomme plus d'énergie que des pays
entiers comme l'Allemagne ou l'Inde. De plus, des estimations
récentes montrent que le secteur de l'informatique en nuage, et
donc l'énergie consommée par les centres de données sur lesquels
elle repose, est encore en croissance. Dans cette thèse,
je développe des approches pour faciliter la consommation
énergétique responsable des centres de données hétérogènes et par
conséquent réduire la consommation d'énergie globale du secteur des
TIC. Pour faciliter la consommation énergétique responsable, il
faut savoir combien d'énergie est consommée. Ceci est influencé par
l'infrastructure, mais aussi par chaque application qui tourne dans
le centre de données. Malheureusement, on ne peut pas appliquer un
wattmètre à une application. Pour contourner cette limitation,
cette thèse propose des modèles réalistes pour estimer la
consommation énergétique à plusieurs niveaux. Cette thèse
est organisée comme une pile à 3 niveaux: (1) centre de données,
(2) virtualisation, (3) applications clientes. Au premier niveau
des centres de données nous commençons par une première phase
d'étude de l'influence de l'hétérogénéité matérielle sur la
consommation de puissance des applications. Dans une deuxième
phase, nous développons EPAVE, un modèle pour la facturation
proportionnelle à l'énergie dans les environnements virtualisés.
EPAVE est supporté par PowerIndex, un framework pour le profilage
et l'estimation d'énergie. Au deuxième niveau de la virtualisation
nous présentons BitWatts, un outil middleware pour construire des
wattmètres logiciels. Avec BitWatts, on franchit la barrière des
environnements virtualisés pour proposer une estimation de
consommation pour des applications s'exécutant au sein de machines
virtuelles. Enfin, au troisième niveau, nous modélisons les
batteries d'appareils mobiles et proposons une approche pour
prolonger leur durée de vie.

▼ This dissertation delivers a measurement methodology based on three-point bending tests in AFM for intrinsic material properties at the single particle level of three different nanomaterial systems. Sodium manganese oxide NWs, which are promising cathodic nanomaterials for Na ion batteries, represent the first material system investigated within this thesis. YM of pristine Na0.44MnO2 and acid leached Na0.44-yMnO2 (y~0.23) NWs was determined through AFM based three-point bending tests. It was observed that acid leaching modulates the Na-content within these materials and is reflective of the material microstructure changes during electrochemical de-sodiation. SOC dependent YM affects the computation of stresses generated during reversible intercalation in any rechargeable
battery. Therefore, the information gained in this investigation is important in modeling stress fields and predicting fracture in these Na-ion
battery materials. Next, Ge NWs, which represent a high capacity Li-alloying anode material, were investigated. YM of these single crystalline [111] Ge NWs was measured using AFM based three-point bending tests. This study revealed the significance of extremely thin surface layers on the elastic properties of NW electrodes. Finally, alpha-phase MnO2 NWs, which are another tunnel crystal structured cathodic nanomaterial candidates for rechargeable
battery systems, were studied. These NWs were mechanically tested at two different SOCs: (i) lithiation at 3.4V, and (ii) one full electrochemical cycle of lithiation and delithiation at 3.4V and 4.6V respectively. While this material showed relatively no change in YM at the levels of lithium loading induced in these experiments, it exhibited plastic recovery at low loading rates as opposed to the brittle fracture observed in past reports at much higher loading rates. This is attributed to dynamic recrystallization induced by shear distortions within the crystalline tunnels and points to an important avenue for alleviating mechanical fracture / degradation within ceramic
battery nanomaterials. In summary, these studies present new information, which would be essential inputs to predicting the mechanical stability of these
battery material systems. The capabilities discussed within this dissertation, together with capabilities to engineering the crystal structure of electrode nanomaterials offer a pathway to enhance the mechanical stability of next-generation, rechargeable
battery systems.

▼ This thesis describes the development of a simplified model of a battery energy storage. The battery energy storage is part of the ABB energy storage system DynaPeaQ®. The model has been built to be run in RTDS, a real time digital simulator. Batteries can be represented by equivalent electric circuits, built up of e.g voltage sources and resistances. The magnitude of the components in an equivalent circuit varies with a number of parameters, e.g. state of charge of the battery and current flow through the battery. In order to get a model of how the resistive behaviour of the batteries is influenced by various parameters, a number of simulations have been run on a Matlab/Simulink model provided by the battery manufacturer. This model is implemented as a black box with certain inputs and outputs, and simulates the battery behaviour. From the simulation results a set of equations have been derived, which approximately give the battery resistance under different operational conditions. The equations have been integrated in the RTDS model, together with a number of controls to calculate e.g. state of charge of the batteries and battery temperature. Results from the RTDS model have been compared with results from the Simulink model. The results coincide reasonably well for the conditions tested. However, further testing is needed to ensure that the RTDS model produces results similar enough to the ones from the Simulink model, over the entire operational range.

▼ To improve the parallel operation characteristics of batteries, this research attempts to configure a
battery power source with boost-type
battery power modules (BPMs) connected in parallel. The discharging currents of the batteries in BPMs can be individually controlled but are coordinated to execute a full amount load current. An additional benefit for the parallel configuration is the inherent fault tolerance, by which the BPMs with completely exhausted or damaged batteries can be isolated without interrupting the system operation.
In this thesis, the operation of paralleled BPMs for both continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) are discussed. The analyzed results indicate that the intrinsic internal resistances of the BPMs may alleviate the interaction. A balanced discharging strategy is proposed to discharge the batteries by scheduling the
battery currents in accordance with the measured
battery voltages. The experiments are carried out on three boost-type BPMs in parallel to confirm the theoretical analyses and to demonstrate the feasibility of balanced discharging.

▼ Sodium-ion batteries could offer an economical and
environmentally friendly alternative to lithium-ion batteries,
however many challenges must be overcome first. This project
focused on the investigation of layered sodium transition metal
oxide phase systems. These systems are of great importance for the
development of not only cathode materials but anode materials as
well for sodium-ion batteries. The high energy densities and ease
of sodium intercalation of these layered systems make them prime
candidates for implementation in sodium-ion batteries. It is
desirable that simple, low cost synthesis methods be used to obtain
these materials. The work herein aimed at understanding the
synthesis and electrochemistry of the Na-Ni-Mn-O and Na-Ni-Ti-O
phase systems, as well as other select phases that allow for facile
sodium-ion diffusion.

▼ The purpose of this study was to quantify the improvement in the performance of a
battery with
the addition of an ultracapacitor as an auxillary energy storage device for solar and wind applica-
tions. The improvement in performance was demonstrated through simulation and modeling. A
ceraolo
battery model and a third order ultracapacitor ladder model were implemented in Mat-
lab/Simulink. Sample
battery load cycles for solar and wind applications have been obtained
from literature and the corresponding C-rates were quanti�ed. The C-rate for the solar load
cycle was found to be 0.3C and 0.2C for the wind load cycle. The performance of the
battery-
ultracapacitor system was checked for the sample solar and wind load cycles and compared with
the performance of the
battery system without an ultracapacitor. A reduction of 50.5% in bat-
tery RMS currents was found for the solar load cycle and 60.9% for the wind load cycle. This
reduction in
battery RMS currents was found to be directly proportional to the ultracapacitor
contribution. Given the low C-rates for the sample load cycles it was deduced that the addition of an ultracapacitor will not signi�cantly improve the
battery life to justify the high initial costs.

▼ Battery evolution is targeting always smaller, lighter, and less expensive systems in order to
keep up with electronics development. Electric vehicles are starting to spread in many countries
and several multinational car corporations, captained by Tesla, are investing in this technology.
Moreover, it is just a matter of time before also the electric grid would need powerful batteries
to implement the renewable energies, overcoming the issue of discontinuous production.
The two main limitations of today Li{ion batteries are the energy density and the high cost.
Remarkable improvements are needed to meet future requirements and it is progressively clearer
that we are reaching the maximum exploitation of that system.
The question is which revolutionary
battery will replace Li{ion and become the pivot of the
energy storage of tomorrow?
Metal-air batteries are considered from lots of scholars as the system of the future. They have an
astonishing energy density, one order of magnitude higher than the ones of Me-ion and they
are less expensive. Among those new type of batteries, the most studied has been Li-air, yet
some complications delayed the obtaining of a practical
battery and some researchers started
to look around to nd other possible metals to employ as the anode.
Sodium turned out to be one of the most promising candidates, thanks to its abundance on the
Earth crust (2.83% vs. 0.0018% of Lithium), its low cost (1.7 =kg vs. 68 =kg of Lithium),
and its high efficiency, due to one{electron transfer reactions.
This thesis reports the experimental work done at the Nanomaterials Energy Systems Laboratory
at UIC, nalized to the study of Sodium{Oxygen
battery. From the preparation of anode and MoS2 nano-flakes coated carbon cathode, to the shallow cycling of the cells. First, we explored different electrolytes and salts, to nd the best combination. Then we performed a
systematic study on the influence of current rates and salt concentrations on the performance,
and nally we began to analyze the passivation of the anode as protection against side{reactions
and poisoning.

▼ PV-Battery Integrated Module is a concept of integrating all of the components needed in a PV-battery system. While having several advantages compared to the standard system, the configuration of a PBIM also has a drawback. The batteries are attached to the back of the PV module, which could increase the operating temperature of the battery. This could lead to a reduction of the lifetime battery. Other than the drawback, PBIM also has several battery criteria. This thesis aims to do a selection of a battery which shows the least impact to the elevated temperature and could fit into the criteria.Firstly, a literature study is performed to select the battery candidates. The battery is expected to have a high energy density, adequate surface area, high lifetime, relatively low price, and good safety. Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) are chosen as the battery candidates as they fit into the criteria.Secondly, a series of modeling are performed. The models are designed to understand the effect of PBIM to the lifetime of the battery and also expected to support the battery candidates selection. Moreover, the modeling is used to design a lifetime battery testing. The models consist of a PV model and battery models. The PV model results in power generation profile in a selected location with a specific load. The battery modeling is divided into three parts, electrical, thermal, and lifetime modeling. An integration of the PV and the battery models is done to simulate a PBIM. With this integrated model, lithium-ion is proven to have a superior lifetime compared to other batteries.Thirdly, a lifetime battery testing is designed with the help of the integrated model. The battery testing replicates the actual working conditions of a PBIM. The battery testing is performed in two constant temperatures with two different current profiles. The current profiles represent higher and lower C-rates, and used to examine the effect of different C-rates on a battery lifetime. The constant temperatures are chosen to study the battery safety and lifetime performance in normal and elevated temperatures. Based on this designed battery testing, LFP cells have longer lifetime than the LCO cells. Therefore, LFP is chosen as the more suitable battery technology for PBIM.

▼ The feasibility of converting an existing internal combustion powered general aviation aircraft to
battery electric propulsion was studied. The theoretical performance of various types of airframes with
battery electric propulsion systems was compared to determine which type of airframe would be best suited for conversion. It was found that
battery electric propulsion is best used in aircraft intended for slow speed, efficient flight and carrying limited payload which is a mission typically flown in motor gliders. A reference motor glider was selected and a conceptual power system packaging design study was performed. The study determined that a critical component of the power system packaging design was the technical feasibility of packaging the batteries inside of the wing structure. This was driven by center of gravity restrictions. Technical concerns related to a
battery-in-wing design were investigated, included wing aeroelastic performance, wing stiffness and wing strength. The results showed that aeroelastic flutter was not a driving design criteria for the reference airframe used as the physical size of the
battery did not allow for them to be packaged in wing locations that detrimentally affected flutter performance. The
battery packaging layout was instead driven by access for
battery maintenance,
battery safety and the
battery thermal management system. Overall weight change from packaging the batteries in the wing compared to the fuselage was found to be negligible. The resulting aircraft conceptual design indicated a powered flight range with reserves of over 200 miles and a powered flight endurance of greater than 3 hours with 2 persons onboard.

▼ Herein is reported a novel piperidinium tethered silica nanoparticle hybrid electrolyte with 1M LiTFSI and PC for use in lithium metal batteries. This unique NOHMs electrolyte provides a solid-like physical barrier to dendritic growth due to the jamming phase transition while maintaining use of the piperidinium chemistry to achieve the same effect. Through a
battery of characterizations, it was found that the tethered electrolyte displayed thermal stability up to 380 °C, high conductivities that were weakly affected by increases in viscosity and followed a VFT fit, low interfacial resistances, could be tuned to exhibit MPa scale moduli, and had an SEI layer that was able to efficiently stem dendritic growth. Polarization experiments of lithium symmetric cells showed long short circuit times whereas cycling experiments of symmetric cells showed no sign of short circuit, even after 1000 hours. Using a carbon modified lithium titanate counterelectrode, the cell exhibited stable voltage plateaus indicating electrolyte robustness during
battery operation, capacity retentions of 87% over 1000 cycles, and no short circuit over 2000 cycles.

▼ The world's rising energy needs and finite fossil-fuel resources demand the development of new methods of generating and storing energy. For renewable energy sources, which are inherently intermittent, to be successfully implemented in a sustainable energy future requires the development of energy storage technologies. The next-generation of electrochemical energy storage (EES) technologies needs to have higher energy and power densities, long cycle life, while also being a safer and more sustainable alternative than current devices. The bottleneck for Li-ion batteries, the highest energy density EES devices, is the cathode material. Consequently, the improvement of the performance of cathode materials can have a dramatic effect on the overall performance of EES devices. Organic compounds are promising alternative materials to existing inorganic cathode materials due to their high theoretical gravimetric capacities, energy and power densities, and abundance. The development of new organic cathode materials is discussed in this work. The polyarylamines investigated display multiple reversible redox couples and good cycling performance.

▼ Developing electric vehicles is widely considered as a direct approach to resolve the energy and environmental challenges faced by the human race. As one of the most promising power solutions to electric cars, the lithium ion
battery is expected to achieve better performance, durability and safety. Fracture induced by lithiation and deliathiation stress has been identified as a major mechanism that leads to capacity loss and performance degradation.
This work aims to shed light on the thermo-mechanical behavior of lithium ion
battery electrodes. It presents a single particle model of random lattice spring elements coupled with solid phase Li-ion diffusion under active temperature effects. The thermal features are realized by solving a lumped heat conduction equation and by including temperature dependent parameters. This model combined with a typical equivalent-circuit model is used to predict the impedance response of electrode particles.
The fracture generation increases as the temperature decreases. However, the diffusion induced fracture is found to be proportional to the current density and particle sizes. Simulations under realistic driving conditions show that the fraction of particle damage is determined by the highest current density drawn from the
battery. A 3D phase map of fracture damage is presented.
The transit fracture growing process reveals a saturation phenomenon where the fraction of damage increases to a threshold value and then stabilizes. This is observed both during single discharging processes and in multiple cycle simulations. In the multicycle analysis, the charging process following the initial discharging leads to a ???re-saturation??? where the fracture experiences a second increase and then stops growing ever after.
The impedance study suggests that the generation of fracture leads to increase in impedance response of electrode particles. The calculated impedance results are found to be directly related to current density and particle size but drops with increasing temperatures.

▼ Large specific gravimetric/volumetric energy density, environmental benignity and safe low working voltage. All of these points have been used to describe the lithium sulfur (Li-S) battery in the past, but often times it is short cycle life and poor capacity retention that is associated with the Li-S battery. In order to realize the full potential of the Li-S battery in society today, many obstacles must be overcome. In a typical Li-S cell with an organic liquid electrolyte sulfur is reduced by lithium during discharge and subsequent lithium polysulfide species (Li2Sx where x, 2 < x < 8) are formed. These species are readily soluble in typical organic electrolytes and can lead to low Coulombic efficiency and most challenging: active mass loss. Through the loss of active mass, rapid capacity fading occurs over long-term cell cycling. Overcoming the loss of active mass and stabilizing cell capacity at high rates is pivotal to the realization of practical Li-S cells. In this thesis, four separate concepts and materials were studied and prepared with the aim to improve the Li-S batteries capacity, cycle life and capacity retention.

▼ This thesis presents experimental measurements and
modeling of multi-scale collective behaviors characteristics of
hierarchical interfaces in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) during
cycling. Two interfacial mechanisms are introduced: One is in-plane
sliding between lithiated electrodes (a-SiLix) and current
collectors (Cu). The other is normal contact between the internal
interfaces of pouch
battery cells. To estimate the interfacial
properties at a-SiLix//Cu interfaces, a new apparatus, named
“Self-Adjusting Liquid Linnik Interferometer (SALLI)”, has been
invented to perform in situ whole field deformation measurements
with µm resolution in lateral direction and nm resolution in
out-of-plane direction. Our result clearly demonstrates Li
segregation at the interface initially which leads to 200 µm
shrinkage of the Si film in the first cycle due to relaxation of
residual tensile stress. A mechanical model system, plate bending
distribution sensor (PBDS), which incorporates substrate bending
and interfacial sliding in its calibration has been developed. By
bridging the deformation estimated from PBDS and that measured from
the SALLI experiment, the interfacial properties are extracted
quantitatively. The critical energy release rate is estimated as
0.075 J/m2 and 0.34 J/m2 for the receding and growing shear crack
fronts respectively. A remarkable discovery is that the interfacial
shear strength of the actively segregating lithium at the interface
is measured only 1.15 kPa. It is due electro-chemically active
lithium-ion segregation process that allows slip processes of
hopping through a series of meta-stable atomic configurations.
Finally, two sets of in situ experiments have been performed and a
mechanical model has been developed to explain the internal contact
mechanism and its relationship with interface bubble-gas evolution.
Through these techniques, the degradation mechanism of the pouch
cells are explained. It shows that applying 4–5 psi prestressed
pressure to the cell can better control the bubble-gas formation
and increase the electrode contact area. Therefore, the
battery
life is efficiently elongated. It is hoped that the thesis work can
contribute to optimal design of
battery cells and maximize cell
capacity and life of LIBs.

▼ Silicon (Si) is widely viewed as a potential negative
electrode material for the next generation of high energy density,
rechargeable Li ion batteries. Although Si has a large specific
capacity, it generally suffers from poor cycling stability because
of mechanical degradation. The large volume expansion that occurs
during lithiation is a key problem here. These large volume changes
induce cracking and the loss of electrical contact with the current
collector. To investigate strategies for engineering architectures
that can better accommodate this expansion, we designed an
electrochemical cell that enables us to investigate the stress
evolution with different states of charge during lithium insertion
and removal. These in situ stress measurements revealed that during
lithiation cycles, Si films expand and develop compressive stresses
which on further lithium insertion forces Si to flow. During
delithiation, these films then contract and eventually exhibit
tensile stress. To mitigate such mechanical degradation due to
these stresses, we investigated this effect in arrays of patterned
Si islands that were fabricated using through mask magnetron
sputtering. This patterning allowed us to systematically study
additional length scale effects by varying both the size and
spacing between these islands. In addition to patterning scheme on
these thin film electrodes, we also studied the role of current
collector in dictating the flow characteristics of Si, by varying
its film thickness. These specimens were then subjected to
lithiation at different charging rates (C rates), while employing
the in situ multi beam optical stress sensor. The experimental data
were interpreted by theoretical models of deformation
characteristics in Si films and current collector, with results
leading to an enhanced understanding of material flow behavior
during electrochemical cycling.

▼ Today, smartphones have become an important part of
our day to day life. Every day, practically every one of us wakes
up in the morning hearing the sound of an alarm coming from our
smartphone. First thing in the morning, we see the LED flashing on
the phone and we have the urge to check all the notifications we
got during the night. We unplug our phone from the charger. We read
some notifications, we ignore some, we reply to some. Finally, we
get out of the bed. We use it all day for everything: replying to
emails, text messages and social networking. Finally, we go to bed,
plug it back into the charger cable. We touch it until our eyelids
close for the night's sleep. We have this routine usage of our
smartphone almost every day. Every user uses his/her phone in
his/her own way. Not all the people are the same. Not all the
people have the same routine of life. But our smartphone is not
really smart enough to learn our routine and adapt to us. Our
smartphone does not understand our needs. Either it just performs
on its own or it performs only after we ask. There is a lot of
areas that need automatic adaptation. Smartphones are the devices
that perform tasks equal to a laptop or a desktop machine but with
limited resources like
battery, memory, screen size, etc. Unlike
laptop users, smartphone users do not carry chargers with them all
the time. Considering smartphone's limited
battery as a serious
concern, the
battery would be the main area that needs automatic
adaptation. Smartphones should know the user's recharge cycle and
use the available energy efficiently by spending when it is in
excess and reserving when it is in shortage. Computation complexity
has been doubling every couple of years. But, the
battery capacity
has been doubling every 10 years. So, it is our responsibility to
use the energy efficiently without a compromise in user experience.
We propose ENDLESS (Energy Distribution Through Lifetime Estimation
and Smartphone Usage Patterns) to determine if energy is to be
saved for future use or if it can be consumed for present use
according to the estimations of the next recharge time,
applications and services that might be used in the near future and
how much
battery would be needed.

▼ Metal-oxygen batteries recently emerge as one of the
most promising post-Li-ion energy storage technologies. The key
feature of this technology lies in the conversion reactions of O2
at the cathode. Such a chemistry promises the highest theoretical
energy densities due to the contribution from the cathode
reactions. However, the conversion between various oxygen-based
species suffer severe kinetic penalties, resulting in poor energy
efficiencies and low rate capabilities. To promote these reactions,
catalysts with desired functionality and stability are needed. On
the other hand, the O2-based chemistry incurs severe parasitic
chemical reactions against various cell components, including the
anode, the cathode and the electrolyte. Consequently, the reported
cyclabilities of metal-oxygen batteries remain much worse than
required. While stable cathode and anode candidates have been
developed, further advance of this technology still hinges on
developing stable electrolyte and efficient catalyst to ensure
prolonged and stable cell operations. In the first part of this
thesis, two distinct strategies were exploited as proof-of-concept
demonstrations on the catalyst design for metal-oxygen batteries.
For one, using Li-O2 batteries as a study platform, we show that
the stability of catalyst can be heavily dependent on the synthesis
history. A novel approach, namely carbothermal shock method, was
found to enable superior chemical and structural stability of the
catalyst compared to those of the catalyst prepared by conventional
methods. For another, using Mg-O2 batteries as prototypical system,
we demonstrate a strategy using two redox mediators that
concertedly operate for discharge and recharge. As a result, a
total overpotential reduction by ca. 600 mV can be achieved through
manipulating the charge transfer mechanism. To meet the need of a
stable electrolyte for metal-oxygen batteries, in the second part
of this thesis, we analyzed the decomposition pathways of the
electrolyte in the presence of reactive oxygen species. Using Li-O2
battery as a model system, we address this issue by employing a
water-in-salt (WiS) electrolyte that eliminates organic solvents
all together. WiS was found stable under Li-O2
battery operation
conditions. When carbon was used as a cathode, much longer cycling
numbers (>70) can be achieved in WiS than in organic ones. When
carbon was replaced with a carbon-free cathode (TiSi2 nanonets
decorated with Ru catalyst), over 300 reversible cycles was
measured. The unique feature of WiS also enables other
opportunities beyond O2 chemistry in metal-oxygen batteries. Toward
the end of this thesis, we employ WiS for electrochemical CO2
reduction reactions. By controlling the concentration of H2O in
WiS, the rate determining step on Au catalyst was found to be the
first electron transfer from the electrode to CO2. Moreover, the
reduced H2O activity by WiS significantly suppressed hydrogen
evolution reactions, through which high selectivity toward CO can
be measured. Our study provides important knowledge…

▼ The increase in energy consumption and the need to decrease the amount of CO2 emitted in the atmosphere, has pushed the world's leading manufacturers in the automotive field to invest in research aiming to find cleaner energy storage devices.
Among them, metal-air batteries has attracted a lot of attention because of their incredibly high energy density.
These systems aim to offer in the future a charming alternative to the high-consumption widespread Li-ion batteries in terms of efficiency, energy density, costs, rechargeability, and safety.
Different metals can be adopted as anode and, for this project, we decided to employ magnesium in our system.
Magnesium batteries, if they will ever truly become a product of commercial interest, will be much smaller than Li batteries, cheaper, and safer, besides ensuring a high energy density.
The purpose of the work is to provide some notion on
battery basic working principles and to explore different electrolytes, salts and catalysts which could be good candidates for magnesium-oxygen
battery system.
Different experiments have been carried out to better understand and analyze the evolution of the chemical processes, reduce the polarization gap, and improve efficiency and cycleability.
Many combinations have been considered, utilizing as solvents: dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME), tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (TEGDME), and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMIMBF4); and as salts: trifluoromethanesulfonate, bromide, chloride, and nitrate.
Moreover, the report will analyze the effect of changes in ratio between the solvents and various salts concentrations, plus the use of several salts mixtures in order to promote magnesium plating and stripping.
Finally, cyclic voltammetry experiments have been performed, using MoS2, WS2 and MoxW(1-x)S2 (i.e. different molar ratio) to evaluate their catalytic activity in Mg/O2 batteries.

▼ Conventional vehicles have made a great impact on climatic changes which in turn
has made way for the electric vehicles in the market as they have zero emissions.
Electric vehicles run on large number of batteries. Batteries are very sensitive to
temperature variations and incorrect charging. The performance of the battery
pack is dependent on various battery operating parameters that involve battery
temperature, depth of discharge, charge and discharge rates. Monitoring the battery
operating parameters is essential for safe and reliable operation of the cells,
energy management system and maintenance of the battery.
This thesis is about firmware development for battery monitoring, battery parameters
measurement and battery state estimation using a Battery monitoring IC which
is part of battery management system(BMS) in hybrid electric vehicles(HEV), plugin
hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and battery electric vehicles(BEV). The customized
hardware has a small ARM processor integrated into an FPGA which will
establish connection with the Battery Monitoring IC and does the required configurations.
Certain battery operating parameters are measured and monitored periodically
by the Battery Monitoring IC and shunt based measurement system. Based
on the calculated state of charge (SoC) further safety decisions are taken. This system
is used in an integrated system, thus reduces data processing load for the main
controller and also reduces the data traffic. As the system is modular, it is reusable
in many other projects. The results of this thesis show that the firmware is capable
of doing the battery monitoring, measure the battery operating parameters and
perform battery state estimation. The tests implemented on the test bench were to
verify the implementation, and to evaluate the battery state estimation algorithm.

▼ Advances in synthesis and processing of nanocarbon
materials, particularly graphene, have presented the opportunity to
design novel Li-ion
battery (LIB) anode materials that can meet the
power requirements of next-generation power devices. This thesis
presents three studies on electrochemical behavior of
three-dimensional (3D) nanostructured anode materials formed by
pure graphene sheets and graphene sheets coupled with conversion
active materials (metal oxides). In the first project, a
microgel-templated approach for fabrication of 3D macro/mesoporous
reduced graphene oxide (RGO) anode is discussed. The mesoporous 3D
structure provides a large specific surface area, while the
macropores also shorten the transport length of Li ions. The second
project involves the use of a novel magnetic field-induced method
for fabrication of wrinkled Fe₃O₄@RGO anode materials. The applied
magnetic field improves the interfacial contact between the anode
and current collector and increases the stacking density of the
active material. The magnetic field treatment facilitates the
kinetics of Li ions and electrons and improves electrode durability
and the surface area of the active material. In the third project,
poly (methacrylic acid) (PMAA)-induced self-assembly process was
used to design super-mesoporous Fe₃O₄@RGO anode materials and their
electrochemical performance as anode materials is also
investigated. To establish correlations between electrode
properties (morphological and chemical) and LIB performance, a
variety of techniques were used to characterize the samples. The
significant improvement in LIB performance of the 3D anodes
mentioned above is largely attributed to the unique properties of

▼ Metal air battery has captured the spotlight recently as a promising class of sustainable energy storage for the future energy systems. Metal air batteries offer many attractive features such as high energy density, environmental benignity, as well as ease of fuel storage and handling. In addition, wide range of selection towards different metals exists where different energy capacity can be achieved via careful selection of different metals. The most energy dense systems of metal-air battery include lithium-air, aluminum-air and zinc-air. Despite the choice of metal electrode, oxygen reduction (ORR) occurs on the air electrode and oxidation occurs on the metal electrode. The oxidation of metal electrode is a relatively facile reaction compared to the ORR on the air electrode, making latter the limiting factor of the battery system. The sluggish ORR kinetics greatly affects the power output, efficiency, and lifetime of the metal air battery. One solution to this problem is the use of active, affordable and stable catalyst to promote the rate of ORR. Currently, platinum nanoparticles supported on conductive carbon (Pt/C) are the best catalyst for ORR. However, the prohibitively high cost and scarcity of platinum raise critical issues regarding the economic feasibility and sustainability of platinum-based catalysts. Cost reduction via the use of novel technologies can be achieved by two approaches. The first approach is to reduce platinum loading in the catalyst formulation. Alternatively platinum can be completely eliminated from the catalyst composition. The aim of this work is to identify and synthesize alternative catalysts for ORR toward metal air battery applications without the use of platinum re other precious metals (i.e., palladium, silver and gold).
Non-precious metal catalysts (NPMC) have received immense international attentions owing to the enormous efforts in pursuit of novel battery and fuel cell technologies. Different types of NPMC such as transition metal alloys, transition metal or mixed metal oxides, chalcogenides have been investigated as potential contenders to precious metal catalysts. However, the performance and stability of these catalysts are still inferior in comparison. Nitrogen-doped carbon materials (NCM) are an emerging class of catalyst exhibiting great potential towards ORR catalysis. In comparison to the metal oxides, MCM show improved electrical conductivity. Furthermore, NCM exhibit higher activity compared to chalcogenides and transition metal alloys. Additional benefits of NCM include the abundance of carbon source and environmental benignity. Typical NCM catalyst is composed of pyrolyzed transition metal macrocycles supported by high surface area carbon. These materials have demonstrated excellent activity and stability. However, the degradation of these catalysts often involves the destruction of active sites containing the transition metal centre. To further improve the durability and mass transport of NCM catalyst, a novel class of ORR catalyst based on nitrogen-doped…

▼ A rechargeable hybrid aqueous battery (ReHAB) system was recently developed by our research group. It has been improved via different experimental approaches, but nobody yet has tried to use mathematical modeling techniques to further understand the system. This thesis tries to investigate the ReHAB system using a few current modeling methods. The study is categorized into empirical level, electrochemical engineering level and atomistic level.
At the empirical level, a battery is simply viewed as a whole system, which means detailed descriptions in terms of the cathode, anode or electrolyte are ignored. By using the historical experimental data, researchers can predict the future behavior of a battery regardless of its internal phenomena. They usually employ some general mathematical functions, such as polynomial, logarithmic, exponential or other nonlinear functions. Currently automatic curve fitting and predicting algorithms are commonly used in the battery management system, due to the advantage in coping with the system nonlinearity. The first study in this thesis implements a tracking method called particle filter method on the ReHAB experimental data. The basic math function in the simulation is an empirical formula between the battery capacity and the Coulombic efficiency. The study confirms this correlation in the ReHABs, and proves that particle filter method can be a good option in battery performance tracking and prediction.
At the electrochemical engineering level, battery performance is simulated in the continuum models, by incorporating chemical or electrochemical reactions, transport phenomena or interfacial kinetics. This level of simulation can help observe battery electrodes in details. It is more accurate than the empirical level model, and more versatile in simulating various electrochemical problems. This thesis secondly focuses on the ReHAB system cathode and anode using finite element method, which is implemented in COMSOL Multiphysics. The study includes a design of battery system model, investigation of species distribution during cell operation, side-reaction effects and anode corrosion issues. The models designed at this level give consistent results compared with the experimental data, and illustrate some guidance for the potential experiments.
At the atomistic level, molecular simulation can model the system dynamics via step-by-step computation. Stochastic method is an efficient molecular method to investigate electrochemical problems coupled with species diffusion and chemical reactions. Atomistic simulation commonly spends longer time, but it can be very accurate regarding the evolution of a dynamic physical system. The study at this level employs the classical stochastic method on the electrochemical deposition of Zn atoms. It is focused on the dendrite formation via implementing diffusion-limited aggregation techniques and the remaining metal ions by using stochastic simulation methods. The simulation schematically illustrates the overpotential influence on the dendrites and…

▼ Traditional high-voltage
battery systems are implemented using multiple
battery modules connected in series, with each
battery module made up of many series/parallel connected cells, to provide the required voltage and power. In the series-connected batterysystems, typically, separate converters for
battery module balancing, bi-directional connection to a load and charging from an external power source are employed. In this thesis, anintegrated reconfigurable converter (IRC) topology for high-voltage series-connected
battery storage systems is proposed. The main advantage of the proposed converter is thatit can be reconfigured to operate in a range of operating modes: ‘feeding a load’ from thebattery system, ‘feeding a load from a backup’ power source, ‘regenerative’ mode, ‘batterymodule balancing’ mode and ‘charging’ mode. The proposed topology shares semiconductor devices and an inductor among the operating modes which makes it compact. It alsoexhibits redundant modes which, together with a backup mode, increase its reliability.Furthermore, the proposed IRC topology minimises the batteries’ stress during chargingand discharging cycles. Operation of all modes is analysed and explained in detail.For the state of charge (SOC) ‘
battery module balancing’ mode, two advanced strategies are developed. A distributed control strategy provides advantages in terms of reducedcommunication requirements and increased modularity, over a centralised
battery management system. A load sharing balancing strategy distributes the load between the batterymodules based on their SOC and is useful in applications where simultaneous balancingand load supply is required.In the initial IRC configuration, the ‘charging’ mode is implemented using a unidirectional DC/DC buck converter supplied by an external DC source. To further extend theIRC flexibility, an enhanced IRC configuration with bidirectional energy transfer betweenthe
battery modules and the AC grid is presented.The IRC topology can be used for hybrid energy storage systems (HESSs) as well. Theproposed integrated reconfigurable configuration for HESSs allows direct energy transferbetween the energy storage systems by using only a single converter and bypassing the DClink. This reduces stress on the DC link, reduces the DC link capacitor size and improvesoverall efficiency.All proposed IRC configurations and operating modes are experimentally verified.

▼ Renewable energy integration will become a significant
issue as renewable penetration levels increase, and will require
new generation support infrastructure; Energy storage provides one
solution to this issue. Specifically,
battery technologies offer a
wide range of energy and power output abilities, making them ideal
for a variety of integration applications. Distributed energy
storage on distribution grids may be required in many areas of
Canada where renewables will be installed. Peak shaving using
distributed small (residential) energy storage can provide a
reduction in peak loads and help renewable energy integration. To
this end, a peak shaving model was developed for typical houses in
several regions in Canada which provided sizing and performance
results. An experimental
battery bank and cycling apparatus was
designed and constructed using these sizing results. This
battery
bank and cycling apparatus was then used to calibrate and validate
a lithium iron phosphate
battery energy storage system
model.
