    摘要: A new battery structure as disclosed allows convective flow of electrolyte through three-dimensional structured electrodes. Hierarchical battery structure design enables three-dimensional metal structures with fluid transport capabilities. Some variations provide a lithium-ion battery system with convective electrolyte flow, comprising: a positive electrode comprising a lithium-containing electrode material and a conductive network with hollow liquid-transport conduits; a negative electrode comprising a lithium-containing electrode material in the conductive network; a separator that electronically isolates the positive and negative electrodes; and a liquid electrolyte contained within the hollow liquid-transport conduits of the conductive network. The hollow liquid-transport conduits serve as structural members, and the walls of these conduits serve as current collectors. The conductive networks may include a micro-lattice structure with a cellular material formed of hollow tubes. Performance and thermal management of lithium-ion batteries (and other types of batteries) can be improved.

    摘要: In one embodiment, provided is a sound attenuating barrier having a core structure between face sheets with a mass attached to at least one face sheet, and having a spatially varied stiffness distribution and/or a spatially varied density. The sound attenuating barrier may include at least one face sheet and/or core having a spatially varied stiffness distribution and/or a spatially varied mass distribution. In one embodiment, a sound attenuating barrier is provided having a core structure between face sheets with a mass structure attached to at least one face sheet, with the core/and or face sheet(s) being constructed to design an effective vibration length as well as enable a variable local stiffness and mass across the sound attenuating barrier such that the sandwich structure provides variable resonance frequency responses and broadband coverage.
