Improving the strength of solid electrolyte cells

Abstract

The research on improving the strength of solid electrolytes aims to enhance the properties of solid electrolyte materials produced from cement and additives that help develop the cement structure to generate electricity. The main components include sodium chloride (NaCl) and graphite, which contribute to the material’s ability to generate a weak electrical current. The objective is to develop an electricity-generating flooring material. This study involves preparing a mixture of cement, water, sodium chloride (NaCl), and graphite to enhance the material’s electrical conductivity. It is highly anticipated that this research will lead to the development of concrete flooring capable of generating electricity and can be further expanded for future applications.

SOH Estimation for Li-ion battery

Currently, lithium batteries are widely used in electronic devices and electric vehicles, making the estimation of their State of Health (SOH) crucial. Accurate SOH estimation helps extend battery lifespan, reduce maintenance costs, and prevent safety issues such as overheating or explosions. This project aims to study and analyze mathematical models of batteries and develop SOH estimation techniques using Neural Networks to enhance accuracy and evaluation speed. The experiment involved collecting charge and discharge data from three lithium battery cells under controlled temperature conditions while maintaining a constant current. The current, voltage, and time data were recorded and analyzed to determine the battery capacity for each cycle. These data were then used to train a Neural Network model. The results demonstrated an effective method for predicting battery health status. The outcomes of this project can contribute to the development of a Battery Management System (BMS) that improves battery efficiency and longevity. Additionally, it provides a foundation for applying artificial intelligence techniques in the energy sector effectively.

Detection of Durian Leaf Diseases Using Image Analysis and Artificial Intelligence

Durian is a crucial economic crop of Thailand and one of the most exported agricultural products in the world. However, producing high-quality durian requires maintaining the health of durian trees, ensuring they remain strong and disease-free to optimize productivity and minimize potential damage to both the tree and its fruit. Among the various diseases affecting durian, foliar diseases are among the most common and rapidly spreading, directly impacting tree growth and fruit quality. Therefore, monitoring and controlling leaf diseases is essential for preserving durian quality. This study aims to apply image analysis technology combined with artificial intelligence (AI) to classify diseases in durian leaves, enabling farmers to diagnose diseases independently without relying on experts. The classification includes three categories: healthy leaves (H), leaves infected with anthracnose (A), and leaves affected by algal spot (S). To develop the classification model, convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithms—ResNet-50, GoogleNet, and AlexNet—were employed. Experimental results indicate that the classification accuracy of ResNet-50, GoogleNet, and AlexNet is 93.57%, 93.95%, and 68.69%, respectively.

Center of Invention for Future and Sustainability

The " Center of Invention for Future and Sustainability Project (Continuing)" serves as a continuation of a pilot initiative focused on the retrofitting of older buildings (Vach. 7), specifically a five-story structure. The primary aim of this project is to develop methodologies for enhancing the sustainability of existing buildings in order to mitigate carbon dioxide emissions. In the execution of the Future and Sustainability Innovation Development Center Project (Continuing), a comprehensive analysis of relevant data and theoretical frameworks has been undertaken, leading to the formulation of a research methodology designed to identify optimal strategies for retrofitting older buildings to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. This approach is structured into three principal phases: the combustion of fuels associated with transportation, labor, and materials; the electricity consumption during the construction process; and the accumulation of greenhouse gases from both existing and new construction materials. The project employs an experimental research design, wherein empirical data is collected to evaluate and quantify the equivalent carbon dioxide emissions arising from the construction of new buildings compared to the retrofitting of the selected case study building. Subsequent analysis of the collected data revealed that retrofitting the existing structure—through the integration of sustainable design principles—resulted in greenhouse gas emissions of 11.88 kgCO2e/sq.m. In contrast, the emissions associated with new building construction amounted to 299.35 kgCO2e/sq.m., indicating a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by a factor of approximately 26 when compared to the construction of new buildings.
