The principle of the charging reaction in automotive lithium batteries is that when the battery is charged, lithium ions are generated at the positive electrode. These generated lithium ions move through the electrolyte to the negative electrode. The negative electrode, made of carbon, has a layered structure with numerous micropores. The lithium ions that reach the negative electrode are embedded into these micropores in the carbon layers. The more lithium ions embedded, the higher the charging capacity. Lithium batteries used in automobiles serve as the power source for hybrid and electric vehicles. Due to certain technical performance aspects of nickel-metal hydride batteries, such as energy density and charge-discharge rates, which are approaching their theoretical limits, they are favored by consumers.

The electric vehicle I'm driving now uses lithium batteries. Every time I plug it into the charging station, chemical reactions inside the battery start working. The cathode material releases lithium ions, which travel through the electrolyte like workers commuting home and settle into the graphite layers of the anode. This moving process requires energy assistance, so the charger provides current to help the lithium ions move, while electrons take a detour through the external circuit to enter the anode. After charging is complete, the lithium ions are neatly embedded in the graphite interlayers, ready to work again the next time the car is driven. The entire charging process is like pumping water into a water tower to store energy. Designing a charging management system is particularly important to strictly control the charging current and voltage peaks, preventing overheating or overcharging.

What to Do If the Iris Scan Keeps Failing During Subject One Exam?

If the iris scan keeps failing, it could be due to distance issues or a problem with the machine. Each person's iris pigment is unique, and if the contrast is not high enough, the machine may not be able to capture the data. However, an iris scan is not required for obtaining a driver's license and will not affect the normal process of taking the driver's license exam. Below are the physical requirements for applying for a driver's license: 1. Height: Applicants for large buses, tractors, city buses, large trucks, or trolleybuses must be at least 155 cm tall. Applicants for medium-sized buses must be at least 150 cm tall. 2. Vision: For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or tramcars, the naked or corrected vision of both eyes must reach at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. For other vehicle types, the naked or corrected vision of both eyes must reach at least 4.9 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. 3. Color Vision: No red-green color blindness. 4. Hearing: Must be able to distinguish the direction of sound sources with each ear at a distance of 50 cm from a tuning fork. Applicants with hearing impairments who can meet these conditions with hearing aids may apply for a driver's license for small cars or small automatic vehicles. 5. Upper Limbs: Both thumbs must be intact, and each hand must have at least three other fingers intact with normal movement. Applicants with missing fingertip sections or a missing right thumb may apply for a driver's license for small cars, small automatic vehicles, low-speed trucks, or three-wheeled vehicles. 6. Lower Limbs: Both lower limbs must be intact with normal movement, and the length difference must not exceed 5 cm. Applicants with a missing or non-functional left lower limb may apply for a driver's license for small automatic vehicles. Those with missing or non-functional right or both lower limbs who can sit independently may apply for a driver's license for small automatic vehicles designed for disabled individuals. 7. Torso and Neck: No movement disorders.

Should the Older Teana Use 92 or 95 Gasoline?

According to the official vehicle manual recommendation, the older Teana should use 92-octane gasoline. For the older Teana, besides checking the suitable gasoline grade in the vehicle manual, you can also find it indicated on the fuel tank cap. Typically, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92-octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95-octane gasoline. However, with the application of some new technologies nowadays, the gasoline grade cannot be solely determined by the compression ratio. Even engines with high compression ratios can be tuned to use lower-octane gasoline. This is because, apart from the compression ratio, other factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline octane rating, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92-octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95-octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the older Teana occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switching back to the correct grade after consumption is sufficient. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower-octane gasoline, mistakenly using higher-octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increase in octane number will alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This means both the engine's power output and thermal efficiency will decrease, with the actual feedback being poorer performance. For vehicles recommended to use higher-octane gasoline, using lower-octane gasoline can cause engine knocking. Because the octane number is too low, the gasoline's ignition point decreases, causing it to ignite prematurely during the compression stroke. If detonation occurs before the spark plug ignites during the compression stroke, resistance will arise during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. If it's mild knocking, it only increases noise with no significant damage to the engine. However, if noticeable knocking occurs, it indicates severe engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, and in severe cases, cylinder scoring.
