Coupling cobalt single-atom catalyst with recyclable LiBr redox mediator enables stable LiOH-based Li-O2 batteries by Kang Huang, Zhixiu Lu, Shilong Dai, Chunyu Cui, Nam Dong Kim, Huilong Fei

“…Cobalt single atom catalysts (Co-SACs) have been exploited to mediate the direct 4e− oxygen reduction reaction for generating LiOH discharge products, but their inferior oxygen evolution activity renders the battery low energy efficiency and poor cycling life. Herein, we for the first time introduce LiBr redox mediator (RM) into the Co-SACs-catalyzed LOB system to facilitate the decomposition of LiOH. …”

High-Accuracy Fault Location Detection in Double-Circuit Transmission Lines Utilizing Extreme Learning Machine Algorithm by Muhammad Hammad Saeed

“…However, this dependence of those fault location algorithms from the line parameters suffers from inaccuracy injected under varying environmental conditions altering the parameters of the double-circuit transmission line. Herein, an Extreme Learning Machine-based line parameter-independent fault location method is suggested that can learn the nonlinear relationship between the voltages, currents measured, and fault locations with high accuracy. …”
