Optimize two-phase distribution of lithium-rich materials to stabilize structure and suppress voltage attenuation

Lithium-rich materials possess the ultra-high specific capacity,but the redox of oxygen is not completely reversible,resulting in voltage attenuation and structural instability.A stepwise co-precipitation method is used for the first time in this paper to achieve the control of the two-phase distribution through controlling the distribution of transition metal elements and realize the modification of particle surface structure without the aid of heterologous ions.The results of characterization tests show that the content of LiMO_(2) phase inside the particles and the content of Li_(2)MnO_(3) phase on the surface of the particles are successfully increased,and the surface induced formation of Li_(4)Mn_(5)O_(12) spinel phase or some disorderly ternary.The electrochemical performance of the modified sample is as follows:LR(pristine)shows specific discharge capacity of 72.7 mA·h·g^(−1)after 500 cycles at 1 C,while GR(modified sample)shows specific discharge capacity of 137.5 mA·h·g^(−1) at 1 C,and the discharge mid-voltage of GR still remains above 3 V when cycling to 220 cycles at 1 C(mid-voltage of LR remains above 3 V when cycling to 160 cycles at 1 C).Therefore,deliberately regulating the local state of the two phases is a successful way to reinforced the material structure and inhibition the voltage attenuation.

Simulation research and application on response characteristics of detecting water-filled goaf by transient electromagnetic method

Water inrush disasters poses a great threat to the safe exploitation of coal resources.To solve this problem,the transient electromagnetic method(TEM)was proposed to accurately detect the water accumulation in the goaf.The electromagnetic response characteristics of diferent water-flled goaves were studied by electromagnetic feld theory,numerical simulation and feld verifcation.Through the models of 100%water accumulation,50%water accumulation,0%water accumulation,100%water accumulation with collapsed rock,50%water accumulation with collapsed rock and 0%water accumulation with collapsed rock goaf,the characteristics of induced voltage attenuation curves were studied.Meanwhile,the relationship between the attenuation voltage value and area of the transmitting coil,the depth of the goaf,the background resistivity,and the delay time were also simulated.The results illustrate that the attenuation curve of induced voltage presented a regular exponential decay form in the 0%water accumulation model but existed abnormal exaltation for voltage in water-flled model.Through the linear ftting curve,it can be seen that the abnormal intensity of the induced voltage becomes stronger as the distance between the measuring point and the center of the target decrement.Moreover,the abnormal amplitude of the induced voltage increases with the rise of the water accumulation and collapsed rock will weakly reduce the low-resistivity anomalous efect on the water-accumulated goaf.In addition,the response value of the attenuation voltage increased as the area of the transmitting coil increases,but decreased with increasing delay time and increasing background resistivity and depth of the target body.The feld detection results of the Majiliang coal mine also confrmed the theoretical analysis and the numerical simulation.
