“…The rst approach is enhancing the stability of b-Ni(OH) 2 by arresting the formation of g-NiOOH from b-NiOOH by lowering the oxidation potential which prevents the overcharging of b-NiOOH to g-NiOOH. 20,29 The second approach is improving the stability of a-Ni(OH) 2 by inhibiting the transformation of g-NiOOH to b-Ni(OH) 2 during the discharge process. 15,23 On the other hand, the co-existence of Co into Ni(OH) 2 crystal lattice changes the morphology of electrode material that results in reinforcing the kinetics of the electrode.…”

“…With a history of more than 120 years of rechargeable alkaline batteries, Ni(OH) 2 /NiOOH is considered to be the key redox couple owing to its good reversibility, high redox potential, adequate theoretical capacity, abundance, low toxicity, and cost effectiveness . In general, Ni(OH) 2 has two polymorphic forms, α-Ni(OH) 2 and β-Ni(OH) 2 (Figure c), and the latter is widely used as cathode material, exhibiting higher thermodynamic stability in alkaline solution than its α counterpart .…”

Ever-increasing global energy consumption has driven the development of renewable energy technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) with high electrochemical performance are critical for enabling renewable yet intermittent sources of energy such as solar and wind. In recent years, numerous new battery technologies have been achieved and showed great potential for grid scale energy storage (GSES) applications. However, their practical applications have been greatly impeded due to the gap between the breakthroughs achieved in research laboratories and the industrial applications. In addition, various complex applications call for different battery performances. Matching of diverse batteries to various applications is required to promote practical energy storage research achievement. This review provides indepth discussion and comprehensive consideration in the battery research field for GSES. The overall requirements of battery technologies for practical applications with key parameters are systematically analyzed by generating standards and measures for GSES. We also discuss recent progress and existing challenges for some representative battery technologies with great promise for GSES, including metal-ion batteries, lead−acid batteries, molten-salt batteries, alkaline batteries, redox-flow batteries, metal−air batteries, and hydrogen-gas batteries. Moreover, we emphasize the importance of bringing emerging battery technologies from academia to industry. Our perspectives on the future development of batteries for GSES applications are provided.

Battery characterization for wireless sensor network applications to investigate the effect of load on surface temperatures

et al. 2022

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are commonly used in remote environments for monitoring and sensing. These devices are typically powered by batteries, the performance of which varies depending on environmental (such as temperature and humidity) as well as operational conditions (discharge rate and state-of-charge, SOC). As a result, assessing their technical viability for WSN applications requires performance evaluation based on the aforementioned stimuli. This paper proposes an efficient method for examining battery performance parameters such as capacity, open-circuit voltage (OCV) and SOC. Four battery types (lithium-ion, lithium-polymer, nickel-metal hydride and alkaline) were subjected to IEEE 802.15.4 protocol-based discharge rates to record the discharge characteristics. Furthermore, the combined effect of discharge rates on battery surface temperature and OCV variations was investigated. Shorter relaxation times (4–8 h) were observed in lithium-based batteries, resulting in faster energy recovery while maintaining rated capacity. It was observed that nearly 80% of the voltage region was flat, with minor voltage variations during the discharge cycle. Furthermore, lithium-based batteries experienced negligible changes in surface temperatures (approx. 0.03°C) with respect to discharge rates, making them the best battery choice for low-power applications such as WSNs.
