Abstract: A phase change material composition for latent heat storage is provided. The composition includes a eutectic mixture of two or more salt hydrates, and at least one salt additive each selected from a bromide salt and a bromide salt hydrate. The mixture of salt hydrates has a melting temperature above room temperature. The at least one salt additive decreases the melting temperature of the mixture and reduces a degree of supercooling of the mixture. The mixture of salt hydrates may be a mixture of calcium chloride hexahydrate and magnesium chloride hexahydrate. The salt additives may include both calcium bromide and magnesium bromide. The melting temperature of the phase change material composition may be in a range of approximately 15 to 25° C. A thermal energy storage system including the phase change material composition and a method of heat management in the thermal energy storage system are also provided.

Abstract: A synesthesia-based encryption system and method (referred to as a system) includes a camera that captures an image and a transceiver communicatively coupled to the camera and a video-only network. The system includes a sensor that monitors a location and generates a sensor message. The sensor message include information that represents a state, a measurement, and/or a detection at that location. The system's processor maps colors to characters from the sensor message to generate a replacement image. In some systems, the sensor is encrypted first. The processor integrates the replacement image within the original image or some or all of the video frames captured by the camera to form a combined image(s) and causes a transceiver to transmit the combined image(s) across the video-only network to a destination.

Abstract: A system and method for identifying pinout information for an IED and operable to test the IED in accordance with a power system. The pinout information for many IEDs is conventionally lacking, leading to conventional testing systems that utilize amplifiers in order to generate the actual current and voltage levels of a power system for simulating the power system in conjunction with one or more IEDs. A system and method are provided to identify pinouts of an IED that can be utilized for simulating the power system with an IED without the need to generate actual current and voltage levels of the power system.

Abstract: A method of separating lithium (Li) from aluminum (Al) includes: obtaining an aqueous feed solution containing an acid, Li, and Al; providing a membrane module including a plurality of hollow fibers that are hydrophobic and include a porous sidewall defining a lumen side spaced apart from a shell side; wetting the porous sidewall of the plurality of hollow fibers with an organic phase including a cationic extractant and an organic solvent such that the organic phase is immobilized in the porous sidewall; performing membrane solvent extraction by passing the feed solution along one of the lumen side or the shell side of the plurality of hollow fibers and simultaneously passing a strip solution along the other of the lumen side or the shell side of the plurality of hollow fibers. The cationic extractant in the porous sidewall continuously extracts Al from the feed solution while substantially rejecting Li for recovery.

Abstract: A method for recycling lithium-ion battery materials is provided. The method includes the step of isolating and recovering a composite electrode. The composite electrode includes an electrode material adhered to a current collector. The composite electrode is combined with a dual function solution comprising an organic acid compound and polyol to form a leaching mixture. The electrode material is leached and separated from the current collector and binder/carbon black film to give a metal ion containing leachate, a free current collector and free binder/carbon black. The metal ion containing leachate, the free current collector, and the binder/carbon black are recovered from the leaching mixture. Upon heating the metal leachate, the dual function solution works as precipitation agent and gives a coprecipitated cathode precursor and a metal ion leachate. The coprecipitated cathode precursor may be used for cathode resynthesis.

Abstract: A method of making an electrode includes the step of mixing active material particles, radiation curable resin precursors, and electrically conductive particles to create an electrode precursor mixture. The electrode precursor mixture is electrostatically sprayed onto a current collector to provide an electrode preform. The electrode preform is heated and calendered to melt the resin precursor such that the resin precursor surrounds the active particles and electrically conductive particles. Radiation is applied to the electrode preform sufficient to cure the radiation curable resin precursors into resin.

Abstract: A system for sampling aerosols, for purpose of predictive analyses, from fractured test specimens is provided. The system includes a test enclosure, a load apparatus, and an aerosol sampling pack in fluid communication with the test enclosure. The test enclosure is sized to partially or completely receive the test specimen therein, and the load apparatus is configured to impart a mechanical load (e.g., tension, bending, torsion, shear forces, or compression) on the test specimen. The aerosol sampling pack receives solid aerosols that are generated upon fracture of the test specimen.
