CoNi基双金属-有机骨架衍生碳复合材料多功能改性锂硫电池隔膜

严重的多硫化物穿梭效应和转化缓慢等问题导致锂硫电池容量迅速衰减,其大规模应用受限。本文将金属有机框架材料(MOF)衍生碳(Ni,Co)/C用于锂硫电池隔膜改性,很好地解决了上述问题。钴镍双金属的协同作用分别实现了大量又快速的化学固硫和抑硫的可逆性,显著提高了锂硫电池的循环稳定性和倍率性能。在1C的电流密度下,(Ni,Co)/C改性隔膜电池的容量在第1次循环时可以达到1035.6 mAh·g^(-1),在500次循环后容量仍保持662.2 mAh·g^(-1),容量保持率为63.9%。此外,本工作克服了二元金属基MOF制备难的问题,使用简单快速的室温液相合成法制备了柱状镍钴二元MOF,该法有望实现MOF的宏观制备。

Brain activation and inhibition after acupuncture at Taichong and Taixi: resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging

Acupuncture can induce changes in the brain. However, the majority of studies to date have focused on a single acupoint at a time. In the present study, we observed activity changes in the brains of healthy volunteers before and after acupuncture atTaichong （LR3） andTaixi （KI3） using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging. Fifteen healthy volunteers underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging of the brain 15 minutes before acupuncture, then received acupuncture atTaichong andTaixi using the nail-pressing needle insertion method, after which the needle was retained in place for 30 minutes. Fifteen minutes after withdrawal of the needle, the volunteers underwent a further session of resting-state functional magnetic res-onance imaging, which revealed that the amplitude of low-frequency lfuctuation, a measure of spontaneous neuronal activity, increased mainly in the cerebral occipital lobe and middle occipital gyrus （Brodmann area 18/19）, inferior occipital gyrus （Brodmann area 18） and cuneus （Brodmann area 18）, but decreased mainly in the gyrus rectus of the frontal lobe （Brodmann area 11）, inferi-or frontal gyrus （Brodmann area 44） and the center of the posterior lobe of the cerebellum. The present ifndings indicate that acupuncture atTaichong andTaixi speciifcally promote blood lfow and activation in the brain areas related to vision, emotion and cognition, and inhibit brain areas related to emotion, attention, phonological and semantic processing, and memory.

Novel design and synthesis of 1D bamboo-like CNTs@Sn_(4)P_(3)@C coaxial nanotubes for long-term sodium ion storage

In this work,a novel bamboo-like carbon nanotubes@Sn4P3@carbon(BLCNTs@Sn_(4)P_(3)@C)coaxial nanotubes are designed and prepared using a newly developed hydrothermal method followed by a phophidation process.The prepared Sn_(4)P_(3) nanoparticles are uniformly coated and wrapped on the one-dimensional(1D)bamboo-like CNTs,which is covered by a uniform carbon layer to form a sandwich-like structure with Sn_(4)P_(3) in between.The inner CNT and outer carbon can effectively maintain the structural stability and serve as the good electron conductors.Additionally,the outer carbon coating layer can effectively keep BLCNTs@Sn_(4)P_(3)@C nanotubes separate each other,preventing aggregation of Sn_(4)P_(3) during charge/discharge when this material is used as anode for sodium ion batteries.The anode of BLCNTs@Sn_(4)P_(3)@C shows excellent reversible capacity and a long cycling of over 2000 cycles.The unique design of coaxial nanotubes is greatly beneficial to the electrochemical performance of Sn_(4)P_(3) for sodium ion storage.

Microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of laser-welded joints of medium manganese steel

The cold-rolled 5% medium Mn steel was butt-welded using a fiber laser.The microstructure,distribution of microhardness,and tensile properties of the base metal(BM)and welded joint were investigated.The results showed that the fusion zone of the welded joint had the highest microhardness due to the formatio n of 100%marten site.A finely mixed microstructure of martensite,ferrite,and austenite was formed in the heat-affected zone,and there was no softened zone in this area.The tensile test results indicated that the ultimate tensile sirength and yield strength were higher for the joint than for BM.The joint efficiency was approximately 100%.All samples of the welded joirn failed at the location of BM during tensile deformation.The fracture surfaces of the BM and welded joint were mainly ductile fractures.The BM and welded joint exhibited strain rate independence of the tensile strength and yield strength at strain rates of 0.01-1 s_1,while the yield strength of the BM and welded joint increased rapidly when the strain rate reached 5 s_1 due to changes in the dislocation moveme nt mechanisms.The uniform elongation of the BM and welded joint decreased with in creasing strain rate.

A novel method through solid phase extraction combined with gradient elution for concentration and separation of 66(ultra)trace persistent toxic pollutants in Antarctic waters

This study developed a method to perform the simultaneous concentration and selective separation of 66 （ultra） trace persistent toxic substances in Antarctic waters. The substances included 30 polychlorinated biphenyls, 17 organochlorine pesticides, 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, 3 hexabromocyclododecanes. Solid phase extraction was performed using a C18 membrane and silica gel column. Gradient elution was conducted using organic solvents with different polarities; as a result, the efficiency of the C18 film is improved and the interferences from impurities and target compounds are eliminated. Extracts were subsequently analyzed through gas chromatography or liquid and gas chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. Method validation yielded the following values： recoveries of all target analytes in the Antarctic water ranged from 87.3% to 117.6% and reproducibility as percent relative standard deviation was lower than 5%. Quantification limits ranged from 0.004 μg L^-1 to 0.030 μg L^-1. The established method improved the recoveries and reduced the limits of detection. Results indicated the method exhibited good performance in the simultaneous concentration and selective separation of 66 （ultra） trace organic pollutants; Therefore, the proposed sample pretreatment can potentially eliminate the effects of various classes of impurities to some extent.
