Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) magnetic particle imaging (MPI) method and system without rotating a field-free line (FFL) are disclosed. In accordance with the method, an FFL is generated such that magnetic particles in a region far from the FFL enter a magnetic saturation state. Further, a non-uniform mixed-frequency excitation magnetic field parallel to the FFL is applied to generate intermodulation response signals. In addition, the intermodulation response signals are acquired, amplified and filtered. Moreover, the intermodulation response signals are transmitted to a digital signal processing unit and an image reconstruction unit, and an encoding matrix is constructed. Additionally, a one-dimensional (1D) concentration distribution of the magnetic particles is reconstructed based on the encoding matrix and an actually measured voltage signal. The FFL is driven for line-by-line scanning along a vertical plane of the FFL, thereby achieving 3D imaging.

Abstract: A method for direct recycling of degraded lithium-ion battery (LIB) cathodes includes relithiating degraded lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (NCM) by mixing the cathode particles with a eutectic molten-salt solution and heating the mixture at ambient pressure over a period of time, followed by a short-time thermal annealing. Combining low-temperature relithiation using the eutectic molten-salt solution with thermal annealing provides successful regeneration and full recovery of the LIB to its original storage capacity, cycling stability and rate capability to the levels of the pristine materials. The method is useful to recycle and remanufacture degraded cathode materials for LIB or sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract: This invention presents a projection embedded discrete fracture model integrating a TPFA and MFD hybrid approach, creating a pEDFM framework for various anisotropic two-phase flow situations. It specifies the distribution of extra pressure freedoms on matrix grids for MFD implementation, maintains f-f connections in TPFA through a standard pEDFM workflow, and introduces a low-conductivity fracture treatment for MFD. It also outlines the derivation of numerical flux calculation formulas for effective m-m and m-f connections. The mixed TPFA-MFD design applies to numerical flux estimation across both K-orthogonal and non-K-orthogonal grids, enhancing computational efficiency and facilitating the spatial discretization of continuity equations for matrix and fracture grids under anisotropic permeability conditions.
