Welcome to Edinburgh Napier Research Repository

The ‘Research Repository’ is the open access institutional repository of Edinburgh Napier University. It contains examples of research outputs produced by staff and research students, as well as related information about the university's funded projects and staff research interests.

Whenever possible, refereed documents accepted for publication, or finished artistic compositions presented in public, will be made available here in full digital format, and hyperlinks to standard published versions will be provided. Any questions about submissions to the repository or problems with access to any of its content should be sent to the Repository Team at repository@napier.ac.uk

Hotspots in lithium-ion battery pouch cells: Models and bounds (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Drummon, R., Guiver, C., Turner, M. C., Tredenick, E. C., & Duncan, S. R. (2025, August). Hotspots in lithium-ion battery pouch cells: Models and bounds. Presented at The 9th IEEE Conference on Control Technology and Applications (CCTA) 2025, San Diego, CA, USA

Lithium-ion batteries have grown larger in recent years in response to the need to increase pack-level energy densities. One of the main issues that emerges in these large format cells are heterogeneities. In particular, temperature hotspots in large...

Electrochemical capacitors with lithium chloride/polyvinyl alcohol solid polymer electrolyte for ionotronic-based thermal sensors (2025)
Journal Article
Manjakkal, L., Kumar, C., Beg, M., Mathew, A., Saju, J., Paul, F., & Markapudi, P. R. (2025). Electrochemical capacitors with lithium chloride/polyvinyl alcohol solid polymer electrolyte for ionotronic-based thermal sensors. Electrochimica Acta, 536, Article 146740. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.electacta.2025.146740

This paper describes an ionotronic-based sensor that can detect changes in temperature using a solid polymer electrolyte (SPE)-based transparent electrochemical capacitor (EC). The EC developed using flexible ITO as an active electrode and polyvinyl...

Compact Dual-band Wearable Antenna for Millimeter-wave Applications: Designed for Medical and IoT Device Integration (2025)
Journal Article
Salisu, A., Musa, U., Sabo, U. U., Abubakar, M. M., Hussaini, A. S., Akinsolu, M. O., See, C. H., & Abd-Alhameed, R. A. (2025). Compact Dual-band Wearable Antenna for Millimeter-wave Applications: Designed for Medical and IoT Device Integration. Progress In Electromagnetics Research Letters, 126, 77-85. https://doi.org/10.2528/pierl25030504

This paper introduces a compact dual-band wearable antenna designed for mmWave applications. The antenna is fabricated on a Rogers 3003 semi-flexible substrate with dimensions of 15 × 15 × 1.52 mm 3 and features a circular radiating patch with a full...
