A modeling and experimental study of capacity fade for lithium-ion batteries
Carnovale, Andrew; Li, Xianguo (Elsevier, 2020-11)Lithium-ion batteries are extensively used in electric vehicles, however, their significant degradation over discharge and charge cycles results in severe capacity fade, limiting driving ranges of electric vehicles over ... -
A Review of physics-based and data-driven models for real-time control of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells
Zhao, Jian; Li, Xianguo; Shum, Chris; McPhee, John (Elsevier, 2021-12)The real-time model-based control of polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells requires a computationally efficient and sufficiently accurate model to predict the transient and long-term performance under various ... -
Superhydrophobic flow channel surface and its impact on PEM fuel cell performance
Wang, Yongxin; Al Shakhshir, Saher; Li, Xianguo; Chen, P. (Oxford University Press, 2014-09-01)Water management is a critical issue in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), and it is normally achieved through the modification of surface wettability condition for the cell components. In this study, ... -
Vortex break-down during the impact of a starting subsonic compressible gas jet on a multi-plume spray
Ghasemi, Abbas; Li, Xianguo (Springer, 2016-11-01)The impact process and the consequent two-phase interaction for a compressible subsonic starting gas jet colliding on a multi-plume spray are investigated using large eddy simulation with Eulerian/Lagrangian multiphase ...
