TL;DR: Key gaps in existing elements of the technology are presented as well as developmental needs, and new positive-electrode materials which are less prone to stress-induced failure are presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, a battery thermal barrier is reviewed with regards to extreme fast charging and the cell and battery interconnect design needs to be improved to meet the lifetime expectations of the consumer.

TL;DR: In this paper, an internal short circuiting device was used for controlled, on-demand, initiation of thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries, allowing analysis of the nucleation and propagation of failure within 18 650 cells through the use of high-speed X-ray imaging at 2000 frames per second.

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic approach for designing and evaluating battery pack thermal management systems is presented, where a thermal management system using air as the heat transfer medium is less complicated than a system using liquid cooling/heating.

TL;DR: A general lifetime prognostic model framework is applied to model changes in capacity and resistance as the battery degrades, and extrapolate lifetime for example applications of the energy storage system integrated with renewable photovoltaic (PV) power generation.
