Analyzing capacity degradation characteristics and accurately predicting the knee point of capacity are crucial for the safety management of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). A recent breakthrough study presented by researchers from Shandong University introduces a knee point prediction method based on neural network. This advanced method can help us clarify the degradation mechanism and predict the knee point.
The study focuses on battery life, which is the result of multiple coupling aging mechanisms affected by multiple factors. It is significantly necessary to clarify the mechanism for the capacity degradation at each stage and possess the ability to detect the knee point. It can not only achieve effective predictive maintenance, but also prevent the occurrence of failures. More importantly, predicting the occurrence of the knee point and its onset in each cell is valuable to cell and battery manufactures, which can help them to adjust the production standard.
The overall framework consists of several main parts: data acquisition and processing, battery data visualization and analysis, feature extraction and selection, and capacity knee point prediction.
Firstly, the battery cycle aging data is obtained in the public data set. The data of voltage, current and capacity are further preprocessed. Secondly, the mechanism of battery capacity degradation is analyzed based on capacity degradation gradient and IC curve. On the basis of the analysis, the features are further extracted and selected. The feature sets are composed of the capacity degradation gradient and the difference of the maximum correlation IC curve. Based on LSTM, the extracted target features are taken as inputs. The corresponding capacity and cycle are taken as outputs to train the network. Finally, the knee point of capacity degradation is predicted by using the trained prediction network and extracted features.
The capacity degradation is innovatively divided into four stages through external features such as degradation gradient. The degradation mechanism of LIBs is analyzed in two aspects which includes the longitudinal and horizontal contents. The former is concentrated in whole cycle life degradation. The latter is analyzed from the charge–discharge protocol and internal materials. Understanding degradation mechanisms helps improve charging and discharging strategies, maximizing battery lifespan and efficiency.
The advanced prediction method using LSTM performs better than other benchmark methods in predicting knee point's capacity and cycle synthetically. The average mean relative error (MRE) of the capacity and cycle of the proposed LSTM method are 0.68% and 9.64%, respectively.
As the demand for efficient and sustainable energy storage solutions continues to grow, understanding these critical degradation patterns is more important than ever. Capacity knee point represents key moments in a battery's life cycle when its performance and capacity begin to shift significantly. By accurately predicting these points, manufacturers and researchers can develop advanced strategies to optimize battery performance, extend longevity, and enhance safety across various industries.
In future, to accurately predict capacity and knee point, it is essential to use real-world scenario data in research. It guarantees that the analysis reflects real-world usage conditions and battery performance over time, leading to more accurate and trustworthy predictions.

A cancer therapy that prompts the body’s immune defenses against viruses and bacteria to attack tumors can make patients more vulnerable to heart attack and stroke. A possible explanation for this side effect is that the treatment interferes with immune regulation in the heart’s largest blood vessels, a new study suggests.
Led by researchers at NYU Langone Health and its Perlmutter Cancer Center, the new work focused on a potent class of cancer-fighting drugs called immune checkpoint inhibitors. These medications ...
Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have demonstrated that large language models (LLMs), such as GPT-4, could help automate functional genomics research, which seeks to determine what genes do and how they interact. The most frequently-used approach in functional genomics, called gene set enrichment, aims to determine the function of experimentally-identified gene sets by comparing them to existing genomics databases. However, more interesting and novel biology is often beyond the scope of established databases. Using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze gene ...
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Alcohol’s ability to increase people’s pain threshold is one reason that drinking also leads to more aggressive behavior, a new study suggests.
Researchers found that the less pain that study participants felt after drinking an alcoholic beverage, the more pain they were willing to inflict on someone else.
“We’ve all heard the idiom ‘I feel your pain,’” said study co-author Brad Bushman, professor of communication at The Ohio State University.
“But if intoxicated people can’t feel their own pain, they might be less likely to feel ...
It’s a big year for microRNAs. The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine went to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun, who discovered the first microRNA in 1993. Today, we know that humans make more than 1,000 different microRNAS. These molecules are critical for building and maintaining healthy bodies, so it’s crucial that they’re made the right way. Errors in microRNA manufacture can put us at risk for developmental disorders, cancer, or neurodegenerative disease.
To learn how cells accurately generate a mind-boggling array of microRNAs, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) Professor and HHMI Investigator Leemor ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- Since the first fiber optic cables rolled out in the 1970s, they’ve become a major part of everything from medical devices to high-speed internet and cable TV. But as it turns out, one group of marine mollusks was way ahead of us.
A new study reveals that clams called heart cockles -– so-named because of their heart-shaped shells -- have unique structures in their shells that act like fiber optic cables to convey specific wavelengths of light into the bivalves’ tissues.
Researchers from Duke University and Stanford University used electron and laser microscopy and computer simulations ...

Biology textbooks may need a revision, say Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists, who present new evidence that an armlike structure of mammalian brain cells may be a different shape than scientists have assumed for more than a century.
Their study on mouse brain cells shows that the cells’ axons — the armlike structures that reach out and exchange information with other brain cells — are not the cylindrical tubes often pictured in books and on websites ...
CHICAGO – Researchers have linked a specific type of body fat to the abnormal proteins in the brain that are hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease up to 20 years before the earliest symptoms of dementia appear, according to a study being presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). The researchers emphasized that lifestyle modifications targeted at reducing this fat could influence the development of Alzheimer’s disease.
“This crucial result was discovered because we investigated Alzheimer’s disease pathology as ...
CHICAGO – Durable and attractive, engineered stone countertops are a popular feature in modern American kitchens, but the workers who build them are risking their health. A growing number of these countertop workers are developing silicosis, a serious and long-term lung disease, according to a study being presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
“This is a new and emerging epidemic, and we must increase awareness of this disease process so we can avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment for our patients,” ...

Key points:
In a 30-year study of American adults’ diets, those who consumed the highest ratio of plant-based protein to animal-based protein had a 19% lower risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and a 27% lower risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) compared to those who consumed the lowest ratio.
According to the researchers, the findings suggest that a 1:2 ratio of plant to animal protein is effective in preventing CVD—and that an even higher ratio (1:1.3) may be needed to protect against CHD.
While global dietary guidelines recommend higher intake of plant ...
