... [7] has built model of lead-acid battery and conclude that the charging efficiency keeps above 0.9 when the charging current value is below 30A, while the average discharge efficiency is higher than 0.93 when the discharging current is less than 50A. Table 1 shows performance comparison of three kinds of batteries mainly used in hybrid cars, which indicates that Lithium-ion battery is the best choice of HPGHP battery, owing to its high energy density, high power density, long cycle life and environmental friendliness. Within the Li-ion battery family, the LiFePO4 type has been considered to be one of the most suitable technologies for high-power automotive applications due to an attractive combination of safety, cycle and calendar life and performance [8][9][10]. ...

In this paper the most promising developments of technology for gas engine-driven heat pumps for the last 15 years are presented. The purpose is to present the latest research studies and changes in this type of device, as well as to help readers to search for publications containing relevant aspects of gas engine heat pumps. Gas engine-driven heat pumps are devices for parallel heating and cooling production based on compressor heat pump technology. However, unlike heat pumps with compressors powered by electric motors, gas engine-driven heat pumps are driven by gas internal combustion engines. The reviewed solutions are an interesting alternative to traditional heating systems, characterized by the higher than 1.0 Performance Energy Ratio which expresses the degree of conversion of the energy contained in the fuel supplied to the device into energy transported to the utility needs. Presented in this review, papers show different solutions for conversion of the energy contained in the fuel into mechanical and thermal energy, and mechanical energy through the shaft system is used to drive the compressor of the heat pump. The presented study shows that, due to the complexity of the system and the wide range of applications, the technology has been subjected to detailed analyses and optimizations during the last 30 years in order to increase the efficiency of devices.

The lithium-ion battery is widely and increasingly used in many portable electronic devices and high-power systems in the modern society. Currently, it is significant to develop excellent cathode materials to meet stringent standards for batteries. In this paper, recent developments were reviewed for several typical cathode materials with high voltages and good capacities. These cathode materials referred to LiCoO 2 , LiNiO 2 , LiMn 2 O 4 , LiMPO 4 (M=Fe, Mn, Co and Ni, et al), and their composites. The technical bottlenecks about the cathode material is required to be conquered. For instance, LiCoO 2 and LiNiO 2 have high coulombic capacity and good cycling characteristics, but are costly and exhibit poor thermal stability. Simultaneously, LiMn 2 O 4 exhibit good thermal stability, high voltage and high rate capability, but have low capacity. Thus it is advantageous to produce a composite which shares the benefits of both materials. The composite cathode material is superior over any single electrode material because the former has more balanced performance, and therefore, is promising to manufacture the next generation of batteries.
