Development Of An Advanced Zinc Air Flow Battery System (Phase 2), Jingyu Si
Development Of An Advanced Zinc Air Flow Battery System (Phase 2), Jingyu Si
Theses and Dissertations
A zinc-air battery is the promising energy storage technology for large-scale energy storage applications due to its low cost, environmental friendliness, and high energy density. However, the electrically rechargeable zinc−air batteries suffer from poor energy efficiency and cycle life because of critical problems such as passivation, dendrite growth, and hydrogen evolution reaction. The proliferation of zinc−air batteries is limited.
The zinc-air flow battery combines the advantages of both a zinc-air battery and a redox flow battery. This combination permits the zinc-air flow battery to compete with the current leading battery technologies in the marketplace. A rechargeable Zn-air flow battery with …

Computational Materials Science And Engineering: Model Development And Case Study, Yihan Xu
Theses and Dissertations
This study presents three tailored models for popular problems in energy storage and biological materials which demonstrate the application of computational materials science in material system development in these fields. The modeling methods can be extended for solving similar practical problems and applications.
In the first application, the thermo-mechanical stress concentrated region in planar sodium sulfur (NaS) cells with large diameter and different container materials has been estimated as well as the shear and normal stresses in these regions have been quantified using finite-element analysis (FEA) computation technique. It is demonstrated that the primary failure mechanism in the planar NaS …
