The frequency-dependent pseudocapacitance at 0.15 Hz is presented as useful state-of-charge (SOC) and state-of-health (SOH) indicator. For the same battery type, the prediction error of pseudocapacitance is better than 1\% for a quadratic calibration curve, and less than 36\% for a linear model. An approximately linear correlation between pseudocapacitance and Ah battery capacity is observed as long as overcharge and deep discharge are avoided. We verify the impedance method in comparison to the classical constant-current discharge measurements. In the case of five examined lithium-ion chemistries, the linear trend of impedance and SOC is lost if the slope of the discharge voltage curve versus SOC changes. With nickel manganese cobalt (NMC), high impedance modulus correlates with high SOC above 70\%.}, language = {en} } @article{KurzweilSchottenbauerSchell, author = {Kurzweil, Peter and Schottenbauer, Josef and Schell, Christian}, title = {Past, Present and Future of Electrochemical Capacitors: Pseudocapacitance, Aging Mechanisms and Service Life Estimation}, series = {Journal of Energy Storage}, volume = {35}, journal = {Journal of Energy Storage}, number = {March}, publisher = {Elsevier}, doi = {10.1016/j.est.2021.102311}, abstract = {The capacitance values printed on capacitor housings do not reflect the actual capacitance available for any technical application. The complex properties of the pseudocapacitance and the aging behavior of practical supercapacitors are reviewed with regard to the state-of-the-art and the latest findings. The long-term stability of various electrolyte systems and carbon materials is critically examined under phenomenological aspects that reflect the typical fault pattern of supercapacitors. Electrolyte resistance and voltammetric capacitance are reliable aging indicators. High temperatures have a greater impact on service life than high voltages, and overvoltages are worse than high currents. The anode more than the cathode suffers from a loss of pore volume, increase of nitrogen and fluorine compounds, and the unstable adhesive layer between active carbon and aluminum. Unwanted material changes and chemical reactions in the supercapacitor reflect the influence of water over several years in the life test. Credible reaction pathways are identified for the known aging processes.

By freezing a material down to 150 K, displaced iron microparticles are immobilized, so that the magnetic anisotropy can be measured. Magnetic anisotropy "constant" is a consequence of particle displacements and a characteristic of the energy of internal deformations in the polymer matrix. The maximum anisotropy constant of the filling is at least one order of magnitude larger than the shear modulus of the pure elastomer (matrix). In a magnetic field, the gain in the rigidity of the composite material is attributed to the magnetomechanical coupling, which is in turn a source of anisotropy. The concept of effective magnetic field felt by the magnetization allows one to explain the magnetization curve at room temperature from low-temperature measurements. The results can be useful for developing vibration absorbers and isolators.}, language = {en} } @article{KurzweilShamoninChamonine, author = {Kurzweil, Peter and Shamonin (Chamonine), Mikhail}, title = {State-of-Charge Monitoring by Impedance Spectroscopy during Long-Term Self-Discharge of Supercapacitors and Lithium-Ion Batteries}, series = {Batteries}, volume = {4}, journal = {Batteries}, number = {3}, publisher = {MPDI}, doi = {10.3390/batteries4030035}, pages = {1 -- 13}, abstract = {Frequency-dependent capacitance C(ω) is a rapid and reliable method for the determination of the state-of-charge (SoC) of electrochemical storage devices.

It is found that the kinetics of the self-discharge of supercapacitors comprises at least two characteristic time constants in the range of days and months. The curvature of the Nyquist curve at frequencies above 10 Hz (charge transfer resistance) depends on the available electric charge as well, but it is of little use for applications.
