AI-Based Water Quality Predictor
AI-based water quality predictors leverage machine learning algorithms to forecast and monitor water quality parameters. These models can classify water sources, predict the Water Quality Index (WQI), and identify potential contaminants, ultimately helping to reduce water pollution and ensure compliance with regulations. Various algorithms, including SVM, KNN, Naive Bayes, ANFIS, NARNET, and LSTM, have been used for this purpose, with varying levels of success.

High-Energy-Density Li-Ion Battery Reaching Full Charge in 12 min
The continuous expansion of the electric vehicle (EV) market is driving the demand for high-energy-density batteries using Ni-rich cathodes. However, the operation of Ni-rich cathodes under extreme-fast-charging (XFC) conditions compromises their structural integrity, resulting in rapid capacity fading; realizing Ni-rich cathodes operable under XFC conditions while maximizing energy density and long-term cycling performance is challenging. This study introduces a Li[Ni0.92Co0.06Al0.01Nb0.01]O2 (Nb-NCA93) cathode with a high energy density of 869 Wh kg–1. The presence of Nb in the Nb-NCA93 cathode induces the grain refinement of its secondary particles, alleviating internal stress and preventing heterogeneity of Li concentration during cycling. A resulting full-cell reaches full charge within 12 min and retains 85.3% of its initial capacity after 1000 cycles (cycled at full depth of discharge). In addition, the Nb-NCA93 cathode generates limited heat under XFC conditions due to its refined microstructure.
