TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive review aims at presenting the various international standards and regulations for safety testing of lithium ion batteries in automotive applications under various abusive environments including mechanical, electrical, environmental and hazards of chemical nature.

TL;DR: An adapted LCA is proposed based on the comparison of different scenarios from a life-cycle perspective and confirmed that the environmental benefits of adopting repurposed batteries to increase PV self-consumption in a house occur under specific conditions and that the benefits are more or less considerable depending on the impact category assessed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the 3D radiation modes of the ideal waveguide are expanded in a series of cylindrical harmonics, and the coupling between the guided and radiation modes due to the sidewall perturbation is computed.

TL;DR: The Sustainability Assessment of Second Life Applications of Automotive Batteries (SASLAB) exploratory research project of the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) aims at developing and applying a methodology to analyse the sustainability of deploying electrified vehicles (xEV) batteries in second use applications.

TL;DR: In this article, three commercially available gas diffusion layers were investigated by 3D X-ray computed tomography (CT) and the carbon fibers and the 3D structure of the gas diffusion layer were clearly resolved by this lab-based technique.
