Investigating the Existence of a Cathode Electrolyte Interphase on Graphite in Dual‐Ion Batteries with LiPF6‐Based Aprotic Electrolytes and Unraveling the Origin of Capacity Fade... by Lukas Haneke, Felix Pfeiffer, Katharina Rudolf, Pranti Sutar, Masoud Baghernejad, Martin Winter, Tobias Placke, Johannes Kasnatscheew

“…Affirmed by Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, the active material remains structurally stable, suggesting capacity fading to be dominated by resistance rise at the PE, likely due to an electronic contact resistance from active material grain boundaries and/or from the interface between electrode particles and the current collector in course of high volume changes; as systematically derived by impedance spectroscopy.…”

DEVELOPMENT OF AUTOMATED EXCITATION AUXILIARY CUTTING SIMILAR EXPERIMENT PROTOTYPE AND ITS MECHANICAL EXPERIMENT by LU JinNan, YUE JianGuang, XIE Miao, WANG PengFei

“…The experimental results show that during the same time period, when there is active excitation, the initial time for increasing contact force is 0.07 s earlier than when there is no excitation, longer duration, contact force is reduced by 0.12 kN compared with no excitation, after excitation, the average cutting current decreased by 1.12 A.Through the test bench based on Similarity theory, the active excitation vibration experiment and test can be carried out on the cutting arm of the road-header under limited laboratory conditions. …”
