The main contribution of the paper is related to the design of the nonlinear input observer which can avoid false alarm arising from the disturbance from orbit control force. The effects of orbit control force on the fault diagnosis system for satellite attitude control systems, including the disturbing torque caused by the misalignments and the model uncertainty caused by the fuel consumed, are discussed, where standard Lu- enberger observer cannot work well. Then the nonlinear unknown input observer is proposed to decouple faults from disturbance, Besides, a linear matrix inequality approach is adopted to reduce the effect of nonlinear part and model uncertainties on the observer. The numerical and semi-physical simulation demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed observer for the fault diagnosis system of the satellite during orbit maneuver.展开更多

On account of the particular electrolyte structure, the shuttle effect is completely suppressed by quasi-solid conversion of S species in Li-S batteries,with a stable cycle performance even at lean electrolyte(5μL mg^(-1)). Simultaneously, in-situ-formed highly-fluorinated interphases can not only lower Li+diffusion barrier to ensure uniform nucleation of Li but also improve stability of NCM cathodes, which enable excellent capacity retention of Lik LiNi(0.5)Co(0.2)Mn(0.3)O2 batteries under conditions toward practical applications(high loading of 2.7 m Ah cm^(-2) and lean electrolyte of 5 m L Ah^(-1)). Besides, the electrolyte is also nonflammable. This electrolyte structure offers useful guidelines for the design of novel organic electrolytes for practical lithium-based batteries.展开更多

However, volume expansion with the ‘‘liquid-solid-liquid”transformation process still leads to un-controlled electrode failure, which stimulates the irreversibility of liquid metal and hinders their self-healing effect as the anode for lithium-ion batteries. Herein, the polypyrrole(PPy) with highly conductive and adhesive features is first introduced to fasten the liquid metal nanoparticles(gallium-tin alloy, EGaSn) in the integrated electrode and applied as the anode for lithium-ion batteries. A tightly PPy wrapped EGaSn nanoparticles structure is formed during the in-situ polymerization synthesis process, which effectively avoids the detachment of solid alloyed products. Based on the features of PPy, polyacrylic acid is added to facilitate strengthening the integrity of the electrode by constructing the hydrogen bond. The ‘‘dual-insurance” design endows the EGaSn to exhibit superior electrochemical kinetics and an astonishing self-healing effect. As a result, the customized anode displays superior cycling stability(499.8 mAh g^(-1) after 500 cycles at 1.0 A g^(-1))and rate capability(350 mAh g^(-1) at 2.0 A g^(-1)).This work enriches the electrode engineering technology of liquid metal nanoparticles and opens up a new way to customize the self-healing anode for lithium-ion batteries.展开更多
