Der Schienenverkehr in Deutschland fährt bereits heute zu einem Großteil elektrisch (~90% der Verkehrsleistung auf ~60% elektrifizierten Strecken). Für eine vollständige Defossilisierung sind jedoch auch für die verbliebenen 10% Fahrleistung Lösungen von Nöten. Aufgrund der lokalen...

Pitch-based soft carbons, with tunable microstructure and low cost, hold great potential as anodes for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). However, the sluggish storage kinetics and unsatisfying cycle life hinder their practical applications. In addition, low softening point pitch has been seldom...

Graphitic onion-like carbon (GOC) present multi-shelled concentric polyhedral morphology with the particle size of 2.67 µm to 10.10µm. Used as anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs), the specific concentric structure can effectively avoid interlayer...

Thermal runaway and subsequent fire of electric vehicle lithium ion batteries cause a specific type of contamination. In order to assess the resulting risks of damage to critical infrastructure and to human health, we perform practical thermal runaway experiments with lithium ion battery modules...

Electric vehicles (EVs) continue to be a growing part of the passenger vehicle industry, and EV batteries remain the key determinant of both the range and cost of the vehicle. This paper expands on the authors’ prior work in 2018 by exploring recent changes in the EV supply chain and EV...

As the first and second largest industries of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, the green development of construction industry and transportation industry is related to whether human society can have a sustainable future. This study focuses on the transportation process of prefabricated...

The widespread adoption of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) is a crucial element in the transition towards sustainable energy. To design effective policies that stimulate the uptake of BEVs, it is essential to understand the barriers that hinder the consumer choice for a BEV. To this aim, we...

A novel structure of Li/Na hybrid-ion batteries is proposed, using nonstoichiometric Li 2.7 V 2 .1 (PO 4 ) 3 /C nanocomposites as cathode and Na foil as anode with lithium-ion electrolyte (NSLVP-L). The discharge specific capacity of 132.99 mAh·g -1 is delivered at a current density of 100...

Facing climate change, The European Union has set ambitious greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets. Within Europe, heavy-duty vehicles (HDV) account for a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector and therefore plays a central role in achieving the climate targets. A potential...

Widening access to clean, reliable electricity is one of the greatest challenges to sustainable development in Africa. Energy storage, particularly batteries, will be critical in supporting Africa's progress to full energy access by 2030, enabling off-grid and on-grid electrification. But the...

This work studies the role of socio-economic and geospatial factors in shaping battery electric vehicle adoption for the case study of Ireland. It provides new insights on the level and timing of likely adoption at scale using a Bass diffusion model combined with a spatial model. The Bass model...

Cost reductions of rooftop photovoltaics and battery storage, increasing retail electricity prices as well as falling feed-in remuneration provide strong incentives for many German households to engage in self-consumption. These developments may also affect the electricity system as a whole....

India, mainly powered by coal, has adopted ambitious renewable energy targets and currently considers a climate neutrality target for 2050. The rapid growth of solar PV power faces challenges due to its variable generation resulting in a decline in its economic value. In this paper, we evaluate...

The recent advances in battery technology and reductions in battery costs have brought battery energy storage systems (BESS) to the point of becoming increasingly cost-effective projects to serve a range of power sector interventions, especially when combined with PV and where diesel is the...

The call for urgent action to address climate change and develop more sustainable modes of energy delivery is generally recognized. It is also apparent that batteries, both in the transportation and the power sectors, need to play a predominant role if the global community is to limit global...

Li-ion batteries are used in battery-powered vehicles, but also in power tools and consumer electronics. Due to the challenges posed by climate change and the increasing penalties for CO2 emissions, battery-powered electric vehicles are regarded as one of the solutions. Modern lithium-ion...

Optimal sizing with energy management strategy as a transition pathway towards a sustainable 100% renewable energy-based microgrid is investigated in this paper. Due to the challenges of intermittency of renewable energy, microgrid operations are complicated. Hence, in order to overcome some of...

The variability and intermittency of light intensity, caused by cloud movement and weather conditions, can create fluctuation in the photovoltaic (PV) power generation. In a microgrid with a high PV penetration, these can affect severe microgrid voltage fluctuation problem. However, the battery...
