三功能共晶溶剂添加剂用于高性能锂金属电池

Rational carbonate electrolyte chemistry is critical for the development of high-voltage lithium metal batteries(LMBs).However,the implementation of traditional carbonate electrolyte is greatly hindered by the generation of an unstable electrode interphase and corrosive by-product(HF).Herein,we propose a triple-function eutectic solvent additive of N-methylacetamide(NmAc)with LiNO_(3) to enhance the stability and compatibility of carbonate electrolyte.Firstly,the addition of NmAc significantly improves the solubility of LiNO_(3) in carbonate electrolyte by forming an eutectic pair,which regulates the Li~+solvation structure and leads to dense and homogenous Li plating.Secondly,the hydrolysis of acidic PF_5 is effectively alleviated due to the strong complexation of NmAc with PF_5,thus reducing the generation of corrosive HF.In addition,the optimized cathode electrolyte interphase layer decreases the structural degradation and transition metal dissolution.Consequently,Li||LiNi_(0.6)Co_(0.2)Mn_(0.2)O_(2)(NCM622)cells with the designed electrolyte deliver superior long-term cycle reversibility and excellent rate capability.This study unveils the rationale for incorporating eutectic solvent additives within carbonate electrolytes,which significantly contribute to the advancement of their practical application for high-voltage LMBs.

A case of Gitelman syndrome with homozygous SLC12A3 deletion presenting with epilepsy

Background Gitelman syndrome(GS)is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary renal tubular disorder characterized by hypokalemia,metabolic alkalosis,hypomagnesemia,and hypocalciuria.Case presentation We report a rare case of GS with homozygous loss of SLC12A3 presenting with epilepsy.The patient was a 21-year-old female who sought medical attention for seizures.Her condition primarily manifested as epilepsy,diarrhea,and weakness of limbs.Through genetic analysis,we confirmed the diagnosis of this case and formulated a comprehensive approach for its management.Conclusions This case report extends the clinical symptoms of GS and provides a complete family of GS as a reference for subsequent studies.

Liquid metal spring： oscillating coalescence and ejection of contacting liquid metal droplets

With pretty high surface tension, the room temperature liquid metal may inherit with unexpected be- haviors that conventional fluids could not own. Here, we disclosed the coalescence and ejection phenomena of liquid metal droplets via high-speed camera. It was experimen- tally found that, when gently contacting （rather than col- liding） two metal droplets with identical size together in NaOH solution, oscillating coalescence would happen which runs just like a spring after the interface ruptures and forms capillary waves. For two metal droplets with evidently different diameters, the coalescence induces rather unusual ejection phenomena. The large droplet would swallow part of the small one and then eject another much smaller droplet. Such phenomenon provides a direct evidence for the existence of electrical double layer on metal droplets. The dynamics fluid impacting behaviors were quantified through processing images from the recorded movies, and the basic differences between the liquid metal droplets and that of water droplets were clar- ified. Theoretical mechanisms related to the events were preliminarily interpreted. The present finding refreshes the basic understanding of the liquid metal droplets, which also suggests potential values of applying such fundamental effects to characterize viscosity, surface tension, electrical double layer of the metal fluids and droplet formations.
