  • Publication number: 20220252498
    Abstract: A method for determining injection mass of electrolyte for a battery includes: determining a total volume V1 of pores in a positive electrode active material layer, a negative electrode active material layer, and a separator of the battery; determining a volume V2 of electrolyte required by the negative electrode active material layer to ensure battery cycles; determining a volume V3 of electrolyte consumed by the battery in a formation process; determining a volume V4 of electrolyte consumed by the battery in an injection process; and determining the injection mass of electrolyte for the battery: MEl=(V1+V2+V3+V4)×?El. The injection mass of electrolyte for the battery is closer to actual optimal injection mass, which improves the accuracy of the electrolyte injection process, provides better electrochemical performance of the battery, and lowers the research and development costs of the battery.

  • Patent number: 11105061
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a high-performance liquefaction mitigation method forstone columns for protecting the existing buildings during earthquakes. Specifically, a small equipment is used to dig trenches in the soil around the existing building. Then, a spiral driller is used to drill a series of boreholes in the trenches according to the optimized borehole design. Next, two or three layers of optimized gravel material with high permeability are filled into the boreholes to work as the inverted layer. Finally, geotextile is arranged around the trench and the trench is filled with the optimized gravel. Compared with current liquefaction mitigation methods for existing buildings, the disclosure is suitable for liquefaction mitigation in large cities, and has the advantages of low disturbance to the overlaid building, simple construction process, high construction efficiency, low construction cost, long service life and the construction material could be easily obtained.
