Binder-conductive additive design for practical sulfurized polyacrylonitrile lithium–sulfur batteries

Abstract Lithium–sulfur batteries are widely regarded as promising next-generation energy storage owing to their high theoretical energy density and the abundance of sulfur. Sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (SPAN) has emerged as a compelling active material, retaining the advantages...

Extension of the particle finite element method towards quadrilateral-dominated meshes for large-deformation geotechnical problems

Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) simulations frequently suffer from volumetric locking and remeshing-related inaccuracies when conventional first-order triangular finite elements are employed. In this contribution, a variant of the PFEM relying on quadrilateral-dominated mes...
