Rational Design Of Cell Configurations For High-Performance Na-O2 Batteries, Xiaoting Lin
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Na-O2 batteries are considered as the promising candidates for electric vehicles due to their ultrahigh theoretical energy densities. However, state-of-the-art Na-O2 batteries suffer from serious challenges including 1) pore clogging and insufficient O2 transportation within the air electrode; 2) degradation of air electrode, 3) Na dendrite growth; and 4) Na corrosion induced by O2/O2- crossover. This thesis, therefore, focuses on rational design of cell configurations to address these problems and understanding the insight mechanisms.
3D printing of “O2 breathable” air electrodes for Na-O2 batteries were first developed. The unique air electrode …

Mechanical Engineering
This document outlines the critical design details and timeline for the Design for Additive Manufacturing Senior Project sponsored by Solar Turbines, Inc. The scope of this project encompasses the redesign of two of Solar Turbine’s cast parts for metal additive manufacturing in order to minimize lead time, cost, and weight. With the overall objective of performing in-depth analysis exploring affordability & feasibility, this redesign process will aid Solar Turbines in expanding their knowledge of Design for Additive Manufacturing principles and enable them to further incorporate the use of additive manufacturing into their production processes. The first part that the team …
