The ever increasing demand for storage of electrical energy in portable electronic devices and electric vehicles is driving technological improvements in rechargeable batteries. Lithium (Li) batteries have many advantages over other rechargeable battery technologies, including high specific energy and energy density, operation over a wide range of temperatures (-40 to 70 degrees C) and a low self-discharge rate, which translates into a long shelf-life (similar to 10 years) [1]. However, upon release of the first generation of rechargeable Li batteries, explosions related to the shorting of the circuit through Li dendrites bridging the anode and cathode were observed. As a result, Li metal batteries today are generally relegated to non-rechargeable primary battery applications, because the dendritic growth of Li is associated with the charging and discharging process. However, there still remain significant advantages in realizing rechargeable secondary batteries based on Li metal anodes because they possess superior electrical conductivity, higher specific energy and lower heat generation due to lower internal resistance. One of the most practical solutions is to use a solid polymer electrolyte to act as a physical barrier against dendrite growth. This may enable the use of Li metal once again in rechargeable secondary batteries [2]. Here we report a flexible and solid Li battery using a polymer electrolyte with a hierarchical and highly porous nanocarbon electrode comprising aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbon nanohorns (CNHs). Electrodes with high specific surface area are realized through the combination of CNHs with CNTs and provide a significant performance enhancement to the solid Li battery performance.

Optimization of PERC fabrication based on loss analysis in an industrially relevant environment: First results from GUNAM photovoltaic line (GPVL)
ES, FIRAT; SEMİZ, EMEL; Orhan, Efe; Genc, Ezgi; Kokbudak, Gamze; Baytemir, Gulsen; Turan, Raşit (Elsevier BV, 2020-02-01)
Passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) concept with an already developed roadmap for 24% efficiency will be leading the photovoltaics industry in the upcoming years. In a few industrial pilot lines, efficiencies above 22% have already been attained. Pilot lines have important roles in bridging lab scale proven concepts with the products which are ready for mass production. Therefore, GUNAM Photovoltaic Line which is specialized on PERC concepts has been established to overcome the barriers that hinder the ...
Lithium-intercalation oxides for rechargeable batteries
Ceder, Gerbrand; VanderVen, Anton; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1998-09-01)
Since the introduction of the LixC/LiCoO2 cell, rechargeable lithium batteries have become the technology of choice for applications where volume or weight are a consideration (e.g., laptop computers and cell phones). The focus of current research in cathode-active materials is on less-expensive or higher-performance materials than LiCoO2. This article illustrates how first-principles calculations can play a critical role in obtaining the understanding needed to design improved cathode oxides.
Optimization of nickel, cobalt and lithium recovery processes from spent li-ion batteries
Tekmanlı, Fırat; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2022-12-28)
Since lithium-ion batteries are standard in electric vehicles and electrical devices and have the potential to be used widely in the future, it is essential to recycle end-of-life batteries. Waste lithium-ion batteries are harmful to the environment and human health and should be recycled also due to their critical metals. Lithium-ion batteries can be classified according to their cathode chemistry. In this thesis, the recycling of lithium-ion batteries with NMC-type (Nickel- Manganese-Cobalt) cathode chemi...
Evaluation of hybridsolar-wind-hydrogenenergy system based on methanol electrolyzer
Budak, Yagmur; DEVRİM, YILSER (Wiley, 2020-10-01)
In this study, it is aimed to meet the annual electricity and heating needs of a house without interruption with the photovoltaic panel, wind turbine, methanol electrolyzer, and high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell system. The system results show that the use of the 2 WT with 18 PV was enough to provide the need of the methanol electrolyzer, which provides requirements of the high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell. The produced heat by the fuel cell was used to meet the heat requ...
Designing the C-GEN lightweight direct drive generator for wave and tidal energy
Keysan, Ozan; McDonald, Alasdair; Hodgins, Neil; Shek, Jonathan (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2012-05-01)
The C-GEN is a novel permanent magnet generator aimed at reducing overall system mass in direct drive power takeoff applications. The design of a C-GEN generator requires the combination of electromagnetic, structural and thermal models. Models used in the development of design tools applicable to both rotary and linear C-GEN generators are described in this study. The design tool is verified with the experiment results obtained from a 15 kW prototype. A genetic optimisation algorithm is developed combining...
