Silicon–Graphite (SiGr) blended anodes represent a promising approach for enhancing the energy density of commercial Li-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the ≈300% volume change of the silicon component during lithiation and delithiation induces significant mechanical stress, leading to particle...

A modelling approach is presented that couples a detailed model of the heat flow through the insulation and walls of a cryogenic storage tank to a description of the fluid that accounts isobaric boil-off and for thermal stratification of the gas phase. We apply this approach to simulate the boil-off...

This study investigates the potential of multi-disciplinary collaboration and hackathon-based approaches in addressing smart city challenges, with a particular focus on Kochi, India. It examines how interdisciplinary teams and participatory innovation models contribute to smart city development...

Several Alpine river ecosystem services (ES) depend on the streamflow regime, thus they might be affected by multiple stressors such as changing climate and anthropic water uses, with still poorly investigated consequences. We focused on the supply of three ES in an Alpine river, namely habitat...

Epoxy resins are high-performance materials extensively utilized in construction and protective coatings, playing a vital role in enhancing durability and sustainability by extending the service life of structures such as aircraft, automobiles, and offshore equipment. Despite their benefits...

A wave of energy efficiency-focused activity has spread across Europe in recent years, with ambitious goals for improving the energy performance of existing buildings through various directives. Among these existing buildings, there are older structures with heritage-protected facades. Some of the...

Pore pressure changes during hydrocarbon extraction from geological reservoirs or CO₂ injection into a reservoir lead to significant stress changes in the reservoir and surrounding rock. Such stress changes can be described by stress path. This work aims to understand the factors influencing stress...
