Processing and characterisation of water hyacinth cellulose nanofibres-based aluminium-ion battery separators (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Beg, M., Sun, D., Popescu, C.-M., Alcock, K. M., Onyianta, A. J., O'Rourke, D., Goh, K., & Yu, H. (2021, September). Processing and characterisation of water hyacinth cellulose nanofibres-based aluminium-ion battery separators. Presented at 2021 26th International Conference on Automation and Computing (ICAC), Portsmouth, United Kingdom

Water hyacinth is an invasive plant that can be converted to high value cellulose nanofibers. This study presents battery separators prepared from water hyacinth cellulose nanofibres (WHCNF) via a freeze-thawing crosslinking method, using polyethylen...

An Accessible Method of Embedding Fibre Optic Sensors on Lithium-ion Battery Surface for in-situ Thermal Monitoring (2021)
Journal Article
Alcock, K., Grammel, M., González-Vila, A., Binetti, L., Goh, K., & Alwis, L. (2021). An Accessible Method of Embedding Fibre Optic Sensors on Lithium-ion Battery Surface for in-situ Thermal Monitoring. Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, 332(1), Article 113061. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sna.2021.113061

Presented is a proof of concept to evaluate the suitability of a mounting technique for fibre optic sensors (FOSs) to measure Lithium-ion Battery (LIB) temperature. Two mounting techniques for the optical fibre, i.e. containing multiple Fibre Bragg G...

Feasibility Study on the Potential of Fibre Bragg Gratings for Thermal Monitoring of Cylindrical Lithium-Ion Batteries (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alcock, K., Grammel, M., Binetti, L., Gonzales Vila, A., Goh, K., & Alwis, L. (2020, June). Feasibility Study on the Potential of Fibre Bragg Gratings for Thermal Monitoring of Cylindrical Lithium-Ion Batteries. Presented at OFS 2020 (27th International conference on Optical Fiber Sensors), Washington, DC, US

Bragg Gratings were used to monitor thermal fluctuations of a Lithium-Ion battery by attaching the sensors outside the casing of the battery. Results are comparable to that obtained from thermo-couples and thus verifies its potential.
