With the highest energy density ever among all sorts of commercialized rechargeable batteries, Li‐ion batteries (LIBs) have stimulated an upsurge utilization in 3C devices, electric vehicles, and stationary energy‐storage systems. However, a high performance of commercial LIBs based on ethylene carbonate electrolytes and graphite anodes can only be achieved at above −20 °C, which restricts their applications in harsh environments. Here, a comprehensive research progress and in‐depth understanding of the critical factors leading to the poor low‐temperature performance of LIBs is provided; the distinctive challenges on the anodes, electrolytes, cathodes, and electrolyte–electrodes interphases are sorted out, with a special focus on Li‐ion transport mechanism therein. Finally, promising strategies and solutions for improving low‐temperature performance are highlighted to maximize the working‐temperature range of the next‐generation high‐energy Li‐ion/metal batteries.

“…For instance, alkaline batteries are heavily affected by load, thus estimating their capacity is extremely difficult. Load, temperature and state-ofcharge (SOC) all have a significant impact on nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) and lead-acid batteries [16]. Lithium-ion batteries, on the other hand, have grown in popularity in recent years.…”

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.

“…At present, electrochemical energy storage and physical energy storage are widely used. Nevertheless, the efficiency of battery energy storage (BES) is greatly reduced in high-altitude and cold regions, and the discarded batteries will also cause pollution to the environment (Yang et al, 2018;MADDUKURI et al, 2020;FLY et al, 2021). Pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) requires strict geographical conditions and other natural resources as support (Jin et al, 2005;Rehman et al, 2015;Cheng et al, 2019).…”

Improving electricity and heat utilization can speed up China’s decarbonization process in the northwest villages on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In this paper, we proposed an architecture with zero-carbon-emission micro-energy network (ZCE-MEN) to increase the reliability and flexibility of heat and electricity. The advanced adiabatic compressed air energy storage system (AA-CAES) hybrid with solar thermal collector (STC) is defined as hybrid adiabatic compressed air energy storage system (HA-CAES). The ZCE-MEN adopts HA-CAES as the energy hub, which is integrated with power distribution network (PDN) and district heating network (DHN). The STC can greatly improve the efficiency of HA-CAES. Furthermore, it can provide various grades of thermal energy for the residents. The design scheme of HA-CAES firstly considers the thermal dynamics and pressure behavior to assess its heating and power capacities. The optimal operating strategy of ZCE-MEN is modeled as mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) and converts this problem into a mixed-integer linear programming problem (MILP) that can be solved by CPLEX. The simulation results show that the energy hub based on HA-CAES proposed in this paper can significantly improve ZCE-MEN efficiency and reduce its operation costs. Compared with conventional AA-CAES, the electric to electric (E-E) energy conversion efficiency of the proposed system is increased to 65.61%, and the round trip efficiency of the system is increased to 70.18%. Besides, operating costs have been reduced by 4.78% in comparison with traditional micro-energy network (MEN).
