[Journal Article]BAI Yinxiang, KANG Erwei, ZHAO Yanlong et al.-Chinese Battery Industry2025, No.06

Abstract:In order to vertify the thermal insulation effect of vacuum shell used in thermal battery,the same thermal battery stack were assembled with stainless steel double-walled vacuum shell and stainless steel shell with glass fiber insulation structure respectively,which were activated at a current density of 60 mA/cm2,and then the electrical properties and surface temperature of the shell were tested.The results showed that the average working time of vacuum shell at high,low and normal temperature was 624 s longer than that of the thermal battery assembled by ordinary shell insulation,and output energy increased by 45%.The maximum temperature on the side surface of the shell decreased from 221℃to 140℃,and the timing of the maximum temperature delayed from 315 s to 540 s,indicating that the vacuum shell has high insulation effect when uesd in thermal battery.This conclusion is expected to provide a reference for the design and development of long life thermal batteries.

Reliability verification and improvement of PEMFC power system
[Journal Article]YUAN Yunchao-Chinese Battery Industry2025, No.06

Abstract:With the popularity of fuel cell commercial vehicles,ensuring the stability and durability of their fuel cell systems has become increasingly crucial.The team conducted 8 600 start-stop cycle tests and over 2 000 hours of durability testing on the FY06-S80 system.The test results indicate that under appropriate operating conditions,frequent start-stop does not significantly affect the performance of the fuel cell stack.But prolonged variable operating condition testing can lead to thinning and cracking of the catalytic layer in the cathode air inlet area of the membrane electrode,along with reduced hydrophobicity of the membrane electrode assembly.Additionally,corrosion-induced resistance increases were observed at identical positions on the bipolar plates.Based on these preliminary findings,subsequent validation tests were adjusted to include reduced air inlet humidity and stack temperature,with operational time parameters calibrated accordingly.
