A development program looked at multiple combinations of SMC with short glass and carbon fiber — with and without unidirectional (UD) carbon fiber prepreg (the hybrid is often called tailored SMC) to ...

Battery dendrites are not caused by electrical origins, but instead have mechanical sources. The dendrites propagate due to fracture of the electrolyte and subsequent crack filling-in. Stresses on the ...

As battery electric vehicle (BEV) ownership becomes more prevalent, addressing critical issues such as range anxiety and thermal management safety is essential. John Albaugh from Elkem Silicones ...

Modular Li-ion battery designs offer superb thermal runaway containment, serviceability, recyclability and scalability, making them ideal for various applications. However, they can have higher mass ...

A battery charge controller is an essential part of a power system that charges a battery because it can keep the battery safe for a long term. A charge controller, in principle, is an electronic ...
