This paper presents a method to estimate the state-of-charge (SOC) of a lithium-ion battery, based on an online identification of its open-circuit voltage (OCV), according to the battery’s intrinsic relationship between the SOC and the OCV for application in electric vehicles. Firstly an...

Graphite nanoplatelets (GnPs), obtained by sonicating the expanded graphite, were employed to simultaneously enhance the thermal (k) and electrical (σ) conductivity of organic form-stable phase change materials (FSPCMs). Using the method of in situ polymerization upon ultrasonic irradiation,...

Referring to the national environmental protection standard of PR China, HJ479-2009, NOx emissions and the effect of 45# carbon steel (1045, ASTM) on it in thermal energy storage (TES) process of binary molten nitrate (BMN) salts (a eutectic salt mixture named as solar salt with the component of...
