Gan, Naifeng (author), Sun, S.Z. (author), Zhang, Zhaosheng (author), Xu, Shiqi (author), Liu, Peng (author), Qin, Z. (author)The overdischarge can significantly degrade a lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery's lifetime. Therefore, it is important to detect the overdischarge and prevent severe damage of the Li-ion battery. Depending on the battery technology, there is a minimum voltage (cutoff voltage) that the battery is allowed to be discharged in common practice. Once the...journal article 2022

Wan, Z. (author), Xu, Y. (author), Zhang, Y. (author), He, S. (author), Šavija, B. (author)Cracking is one of the main causes for deterioration of concrete structures. Self-healing concrete with 3D-printed vascular networks has excellent potential for autonomous self-healing. This approach is scarcely investigated: no studies have been devoted to the influence of printing parameters on the properties of vascular based self-healing...journal article 2022
