Herein, a series of sulfur-doped porous carbons(SPCs) were prepared via a template-assisted freeze-drying followed by the carbonization and sulfuration processes at different temperatures. Among the three as-synthesized samples, SPC-600 exhibits the highest specific capacity(407 mAh·g^(-1) at 0.10 A·g^(-1)), the best rate(242 mAh·g^(-1) at 2.00 A·g^(-1)) and cycling performance(286 m Ah·g^(-1) after 800 cycles at 0.50 A·g^(-1)). All the SPCs display higher capacities than the undoped carbon materials. The excellent electrochemical performance of SPC can be ascribed to the abundant three-dimensional porous structure together with S-doping in the disordered carbon, which is favor of providing adequate reaction active sites as well as fast ion/electron transport paths. The density functional theory(DFT) calculations further demonstrate that the sulfurdoping can promote K-ion adsorption and storage. Meanwhile, the kinetic analyses reveal that surface-induced capacitive mechanism dominates the K-ion storage process in SPCs, which contributes to ultrafast charge storage. This work provides an effective strategy for fabricating highperformance potassium-ion storage electrode materials.展开更多

Proper management of this problem, especially postoperatively, is still controversial. This study was designed to assess the rate and determinants of success or failure of balloon angioplasty for such lesions. Methods: Clinical and hemodynamic data from 40 pediatric patients (24 boys and 16 girls) with complex congenital heart diseases who underwent balloon angioplasty were reviewed retrospectively from January 2012 to December 2016. Patients were divided into four groups according to the site of stenosis, which included pulmonary valve stenosis (PVS), valved conduit stenosis, pulmonary artery stenosis (PAS), and supravalvular pulmonary stenosis (SVPS). Success rates were calculated according to defined criteria for initial success and favorable clinical impacts, and comparison between the successful subgroup and the unsuccessful subgroups was analyzed. Results: Grouped by the site of stenosis, initial success rates varied from 40.0% to 52.4% with the greatest success being seen in the PVS group, followed by the PAS group and SVPS group. In the PVS group and the PAS group, there was no statistical difference among age at dilation, postoperative interval, balloon/stenosis ratio, or pressure gradient predilation between the successful and the unsuccessful subgroups. Favorable clinical impacts included success rates of balloon angioplasty in the SVPS group, which was best (100%), followed by the PVS group (90.9%) and the PAS group (85.7%). There were a total of two transient complications (5.0%). Conclusions: Balloon angioplasty was proven to be a safe and useful modality in children with complex congenital heart diseases and postoperative pulmonary stenosis, which should be the initial therapeutic modality in selected patients.展开更多

The synthetic conditions were systematically investigated by orthogonal experiments, which indicate that the optimal reaction time, reaction temperature, molar ratio of Li to DES and rotate speed are 96 h, 220 ℃, 1:14 and20 r·min^(-1), respectively. X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscope(SEM) and transmission electron microscope(TEM) were characterized to investigate the crystalline structure and morphology of the obtained materials, indicating well-crystallized LiFePO_(4) with olivine structure. And the physical properties of LiFePO_(4) were explored through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR),57 Fe Mo¨ ssbauer absorption spectra and Raman spectra. An initial discharge capacity can reach 151 m Ah·g^(-1) at 0.1 C rate for LiFePO_(4) following by calcining at 600 ℃ under the optimal conditions, and it retains 125.1 m Ah·g^(-1) after 100 cycles. These results demonstrated that the addition of ionic liquids can improve the rate performance, cycle performance and ion diffusion rate of LiFePO_(4).展开更多
