Nevertheless, its application is restricted by tremendous volume variation and tardy reaction kinetic during discharge/charge process.In this paper, the Ge/3DPG composites with Ge nanoparticles uniformly dispersed in 3D interconnected porous graphene(3DPG) skeleton are successfully prepared using a template-assisted in-situ reduction method. The unique 3D interconnected porous graphene can not only enhance the electronic conductivity and reaction kinetics of the materials, but also provide sufficient buffer space to effectively mitigate the volume expansion during cycling and strengthen the structural integrity. Moreover, the small-sized Ge nanoparticles in close conjunction with the 3D graphene can boost the surface-controlled reaction of the electrode, which contributes to a fast charge–discharge rate capability. The Ge/3DPG composite with optimized Ge/graphene mass ratio delivers high reversible specific capacity(1102 mAh g^(-1) after 100 cycles at 0.2 C), outstanding rate capability(494 mAh g^(-1) at 5 C), and admirable cycling stability(85.3% of capacity retention after 250 cycles at 0.5 C). This work provides a significant inspiration for the design and fabrication of advanced Ge-based anode materials for next-generation highperformance LIBs.展开更多

The in-plane thermal conductivity of the iron-based superconductor Ca10(Pt_(4-δ)As_8)((Fe_(1-x)Pt_x)_2As_2)_5 single crystal("10-4-8", T c= 22 K) was measured down to 80 m K.

In a zero field, the residual linear term κ_0/T is negligible, suggesting the nodeless superconducting gaps in this multiband compound. In the magnetic fields, κ_0/T increases rapidly, which mimics the multiband superconductor Nb Se_2 and Lu Ni_2B_2 C with highly anisotropic gap. Such a field dependence of κ_0/T is an evidence for the multiple superconducting gaps with quite different magnitudes or highly anisotropic gap. Compared with the London penetration depth results of the Ca10(Pt_(4-δ)As_8)((Fe_(1-x)Pt_x)_2As_2)_5("10-3-8") compound, the 10-4-8 and 10-3-8 compounds may have a similar superconducting gap structure.展开更多
