This paper presents an efficient and comprehensive method for measuring and understanding the self-discharge behaviour of LiB cells, considering factors such as temperature and cell to cell variability, as well as underlying electrochemical mechanisms. The innovative approach presented in this paper aims to revolutionize the way we understand and engineer LiB cells, potentially leading to more efficient, longer-lasting, and sustainable energy storage solutions.

This paper introduces two novel ideas on Supercaps (SCs) characterization and modeling, 1) a novel measurement method for the determination of the non-linear leakage resistance of SCs, and 2) a novel approach for accurately modeling SCs by means of a Three-Branch circuit model. Through these two innovations the accuracy of the SCs simulation reaches very high levels. The determination of the non-linear leakage resistance occurs in two steps. The method relies on using an auxiliary resistor in a repeated discharging phase. A new model identification method based on the state equations of the circuit is described in the paper and validated by measurements.

The publication details a refined laser-based method for creating highly conductive graphene films used in microflexible supercapacitors. This method significantly improves the performance and durability of these supercapacitors, making them suitable for advanced applications in paper electronics and smart textiles.This promising laser-based approach emerges as a viable alternative for the fabrication of microflexible interdigitated supercapacitors for paper electronics and smart textiles.
