Investigation of Thermal Runaway in Prismatic Batteries with Dual-Parallel Jelly-Roll Architecture Under Thermal Abuse Conditions by Jinmei Li, Dong Li, Xin Li, Ting Sun, Qiang Li

“…Although LIBs exhibit enhanced safety features, significant fire risks persist during thermal runaway (TR) events occurring in charging/discharging processes. To elucidate dual-parallel jelly-roll architecture TR characteristics of LIBs under varied operational conditions, this study integrates theoretical analysis with experimental methods, conducting thermal abuse tests under four distinct working conditions: open circuit, constant-current charging, constant-voltage charging, and discharging. …”

Fabrication and characterization of low-loss Al/Si/Al parallel plate capacitors for superconducting quantum information applications by Anthony P. McFadden, Aranya Goswami, Tongyu Zhao, Teun van Schijndel, Trevyn F. Q. Larson, Sudhir Sahu, Stephen Gill, Florent Lecocq, Raymond Simmonds, Chris Palmstrøm

“…Abstract Increasing the density of superconducting circuits requires compact components, however, superconductor-based capacitors typically perform worse as dimensions are reduced due to loss at surfaces and interfaces. Here, parallel plate capacitors composed of aluminum-contacted, crystalline silicon fins are shown to be a promising technology for use in superconducting circuits by evaluating the performance of lumped element resonators and transmon qubits. …”
