ABSTRACTMultifunctional structures are those that combine load bearing support in addition to supplemental functions such as actuation, electrochemical energy storage or thermal management. Electron beam - directed vapor deposition (EB- DVD) technology has been used for the deposition of templated cellular structures for micro heat-pipe structures and porous electrode coatings for rechargeable nickel - metal hydride cells. In addition to load bearing support, the tem- plated cellular structures exhibit enhanced thermal management characteristics and the electrochemical cells can be integrated into the load bearing supports of linear and truss based structures leading to their multifunctionality. Dur- ing EB-DVD, the electron beam evaporated vapor flux is encompassed by a rarefied transonic inert gas jet, entraining the vapor in a non-reactive gas flow and transporting it onto a polymer or metal template structure. Here, EB-DVD technology has been used to synthesize copper based templated cellular structures for thermal management systems and porous nickel coatings for the positive electrode of rechargeable nickel - metal hydride cells.

<span>Batteries are one of the main elements in Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPSs). To maintain good operation during power failure, UPSs must have adequate energy for their operation. It depends on the reliability and performance of batteries. Owing to low capital cost and wide availability, lead-acid batteries have been used extensively as the main energy source in UPSs. Nevertheless, as batteries technology grown, Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries have offered more promising performance than lead-acid batteries; they are installed in various portable electronic devices. This paper provides an overview of the performance of lead-acid and NiMH batteries during the operation of a single-phase UPS. Their performances are studied based on 2 characteristics which are discharge curve and State of Charge (SOC). Based on those characteristics, both batteries have shown different performances. Simulation results have shown that the NiMH battery exhibits better discharge curve with higher voltage capacity and constant discharge current, and it is more reliable to obtain 12V at minimum percentage of SOC than the lead-acid battery.</span>
