Rolling up MXene sheets into scrolls to promote their anode performance in lithium-ion batteries

Although Ti3 C2 MXene sheets have attracted extensive attention in lithium-ion storage techniques,their restacking makes against and even hinders the Li ions diffusion within them,thereby decreasing the capacity as well as rate performance of conventional MXene anode.Here,for the first time,we roll up the Ti3 C2 Tx sheets into scrolls with unclosed topological structure and the interlayer galleries to alleviate the restacking problem.Thus,Ti3 C2 Tx scrolls as anode materials in lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)have higher capacity and better rate performance than Ti3 C2 Tx sheets.On the bases of these,high-capacity silicon nanoparticles are added during the rolling process to in-situ produce Ti3 C2 Tx/Si composite scrolls.The addition of 10%silicon nanoparticles shows the best overall improvement among capacity,rate capability and cyclic stability for Ti3 C2 Tx scrolls.

Highly Sensitive Flexible Pressure Sensors based on Graphene/Graphene Scrolls Multilayer Hybrid Films

In recent years,flexible pressure sensors have attracted much attention owing to their potential applications in motion detection and wearable electronics.As a result,important innovations have been reported in both conductive materials and the underlying substrates,which are the two crucial components of a pressure sensor.1D materials like nanowires are being widely used as the conductive materials in flexible pressure sensors,but such sensors usually exhibit low performances mainly due to the lack of strong interfacial interactions between the substrates and 1D materials.In this paper,we report the use of graphene/graphene scrolls hybrid multilayers films as the conductive material and a microstructured polydimethylsiloxane substrate using Epipremnum aureum leaf as the template to fabricate highly sensitive pressure sensors.The 2D structure of graphene allows to strongly anchor the scrolls to ensure the improved adhesion between the highly conductive hybrid films and the patterned substrate.We attribute the increased sensitivity(3.5 k Pa^-1),fast response time(<50 ms),and the good reproducibility during 1000 loading-unloading cycles of the pressure sensor to the synergistic effect between the 1D scrolls and 2D graphene films.Test results demonstrate that these sensors are promising for electronic skins and motion detection applications.

Effects of process parameters on semi-solid squeeze casting performance of aluminum alloy scrolls for scroll compressors

The aluminum alloy scroll is one of the key parts of the scroll compressors widely used in the air-conditioning,refrigeration,and heat pump systems.In this work,the semi-solid squeeze casting(SSSC)process was used to fabricate the aluminum alloy scroll.The effects of process parameters including the pouring temperature,mold temperature,and squeezing velocity on the filling and solidification behaviors of the alloys were investigated through simulations based on the power law cut-off(PLCO)material model.Results show that there is a significant increase in the flow velocity of the slurry,and the area of the high-speed region enlarges with the increase of the pouring temperature.The homogeneity of the temperature and velocity fields in the slurry is improved with an increase in mold temperature.Both the filling time and its variation rate decrease with an increase in squeezing velocity.The maximum solidification time exhibits a linear variation with the increase in pouring temperature.The shrinkage area is decreased by increasing the mold temperature.The optimal process parameters of the SSSC process were obtained from simulation analysis,which are the pouring temperature of 595°C,mold temperature of 350°C,and squeezing velocity of 0.3 m·s-1.Moreover,the qualified scroll casting was fabricated using the SSSC process under the optimal process parameters.

Bilateral retrocorneal hyaline scrolls secondary to asymptomatic congenital syphilis: A case report

BACKGROUND Retrocorneal hyaline scrolls are a rare phenomenon.We report a case of bilateral retrocorneal hyaline scrolls that were likely induced by asymptomatic congenital syphilis.CASE SUMMARY A 71-year-old woman presented with blurred vision due to cataracts.Slit-lamp microscopy revealed bilateral hyaline scrolls with a dichotomous branching pattern extending to the anterior chamber or rods attaching to the rough posterior surface of the cornea.The patient was positive for syphilis-specific antibodies,with no ocular or systemic evidence of congenital or acquired syphilis.Binocular cataract,retrocorneal scroll,and corneal endothelial gutta were considered.The scroll of the right eye was removed during cataract surgery and further observed using hematoxylin–eosin staining and scanning electron microscopy.The cornea of the right eye remained transparent,and the residual scroll seemed stable,however,the corneal endothelial density declined at 13 mo after surgery.In vivo confocal microscopy revealed coalescence of corneal guttae at the level of the corneal endothelium or adhesion to the posterior surface of the endothelium,with enlarged endothelial cells in both eyes.Activated keratocytes in the stroma and a highly reflective acellular structure at the level of the Descemet’s membrane were observed.The removed scroll had a cartilage-like hardness and a circularly arranged fiber-like acellular structure.CONCLUSION Occult congenital syphilis could induce corneal endothelial gutta and theformation of retrocorneal scrolls without other signs of ocular syphilis.

TRIGONOMETRIC CURVE MODIFICATION OF SCROLL PROFILE AND ITS EFFECT ON PERFORMANCES OF A SCROLL COMPRESSOR

A modification of central profile with trigonometric curve is proposed based on the theory of engagement of scroll compressor. General modification equations for central profile of a pair of scrolls are given and various modification patterns are discussed. The equidistant method is employed to calculate the volume of a sealed chamber and a set of general equations is represented. Modification parameters affecting geometric and dynamic property of a scroll compressor are analyzed systematically, and the relations between them are accurately determined. The condition for transforming a trigonometric curve modification into an arc-curve modification is explained. The conclusions can also be applied to other scroll fluid machines.

Branch Processes of Vortex Filaments and Hopf Invariant Constraint on Scroll Wave

In this paper, by making use of Duan＇s topological current theory, the evolution of the vortex filaments in excitable media is discussed in detail. The vortex filaments are found generating or annihilating at the limit points and encountering, splitting, or merging at the bifurcation points of a complex function Z（x, t）. [t is also shown that the Hopf invariant of knotted scroll wave filaments is preserved in the branch processes （splitting, merging, or encountering） during the evolution of these knotted scroll wave filaments. Furthermore, it also revealed that the ＂exclusion principle＂ in some chemical media is just the special case of the Hopf invariant constraint, and during the branch processes the ＂exclusion principle＂ is also protected by topology.

Planetary scroll surface polishing method for aluminum wheel hub

Instead of manual polishing work for aluminum wheel hub （hub） surface, a new planetary scroll surface polishing method based on the rotation and revolution of hub in abrasives is presented in this paper. Since conventional barrel rotation polishing mode is unsatisfactory, shorter polishing period and lower energy consumption are expected. The surface polishing mechanism of the proposed method is ghen introduced. The influence of cutting velocity, cutting angle, abrasive on surface polishing quality and efficiency, as well as the correlation of the revolution velocity and the rotation velocity of hub are discussed. Experimental results show that high surface polishing quality and efficiency can be achieved with the new polishing method implying that a dustless clean working environment is realized.

Research progress on rolling superlubricity in solid lubricants

Superlubricity is an ideal lubrication state where friction nearly vanishes between contact interfaces. It has become one of the most important research topics and approaches owing to its significance in reducing energy consumption and preventing device failures. As an efficient and universal lubricating principle capable of achieving superlubricity, rolling lubrication has attracted widespread attention in recent years. In this review, the theoretical concept of rolling lubrication and the experimental research progress of spherical/scroll structures are summarized. The review focuses on the possibility of achieving rolling lubrication using spherical/scroll structures(such as spherical fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and formed and constructed spherical/scroll structures). The challenges in achieving rolling lubrication are summarized, and the possibility of molecular rolling lubrication,as well as its potential applications in superlubrication, are discussed.

New results of study on generating multiple-scroll chaotic attractors

We present a new method for generating multiple-scroll attractors. By constructing a piece-wise-linear odd function as the driving-point characteristic of Chua's diode with multiple breakpoints, and finding a recurrence formula for determining equilibrium point voltages and breakpoint voltages, we can calculate the voltages of all the equilibrium points and breakpoints, and the multiple-scroll chaotic attractors can be obtained. This method is based on Shil'nikov theorem and the cell model of chaotic attractors. The theoretical calculations are in good agreement with computer simulations and hardware experimental results. Compared with the results reported by Suykens, our method has some advantages that much more scrolls can be obtained, the scrolls are uniform in size, and a general recurrence formula for generating attractors with any number of scrolls is given. Furthermore, the observation of attractors with a maximum of 11-21 uniform scrolls obtained by hardware experiment and computer simulation, respectively, is reported for the first time.
