Aging Characteristics of Lithium-Ion Battery Under Fast Charging Based on Electrochemical-thermalmechanical Coupling Model

The aging characteristics of lithium-ion battery(LIB)under fast charging is investigated based on an electrochemical-thermal-mechanical(ETM)coupling model.Firstly,the ETM coupling model is established by COMSOL Multiphysics.Subsequently,a long cycle test was conducted to explore the aging characteristics of LIB.Specifically,the effects of charging(C)rate and cycle number on battery aging are analyzed in terms of nonuniform distribution of solid electrolyte interface(SEI),SEI formation,thermal stability and stress characteristics.The results indicate that the increases in C rate and cycling led to an increase in the degree of nonuniform distribution of SEI,and thus a consequent increase in the capacity loss due to the SEI formation.Meanwhile,the increases in C rate and cycle number also led to an increase in the heat generation and a decrease in the heat dissipation rate of the battery,respectively,which result in a decrease in the thermal stability of the electrode materials.In addition,the von Mises stress of the positive electrode material is higher than that of the negative electrode material as the cycling proceeds,with the positive electrode material exhibiting tensile deformation and the negative electrode material exhibiting compressive deformation.The available lithium ion concentration of the positive electrode is lower than that of the negative electrode,proving that the tensile-type fracture occurring in the positive material under long cycling dominated the capacity loss process.The aforementioned studies are helpful for researchers to further explore the aging behavior of LIB under fast charging and take corresponding preventive measures.

The Effect of Ionizing Radiation and Magnetic Field on Deformation Properties of High Density PolyethylenelAcrylonitrile-Butadiene Composites

The effect of magnetic field and ionizing radiation on the mechanical properties of polymer blends consisting of high density polyethylene （HDPE） and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber （NBR） has been investigated. The purpose of the work was to create HDPE/NBR blend composites of significantly different compositions （with an excess of HDPE, intermediate ones, and with an excess of NBR） and to investigate the role of composition on mechanical deformation properties under the influence of magnetic field. The investigation has importance from the engineering viewpoint, since thermoplastic composite materials have been used as structural elements in thermonuclear and engineering fields, like wires, insulation materials and others, which are frequently subjected to mechanical loadings under the effect of magnetic field greater than 1 T. One part of the blends has been irradiated with 5 MeV accelerated electrons up to absorbed dose D equal to 150 kGy. Unirradiated and the radiation modified blends have been exposed to a constant magnetic field with induction B equal to 1.0 T, 1.5 T and 1.7 T. It is found that the action of magnetic field decreases the elastic modulus of unirradiated materials. Decrement of elastic modulus is reduced with increase of the content of NBR in composites. It is also found that preliminary irradiation noticeably decreases the effect of magnetic field. Data of the influence of the magnetic field, radiation cross-linking, and the ratio of the components on the creep are also obtained.

Dielectric properties and temperature increase characteristics of zinc oxide dust from fuming furnace

Cavity perturbation method was used to determine the dielectric properties （ε′,ε″, and tanδ） of zinc oxide dust in different apparent densities. The process was conducted to study the microwave-absorption properties of zinc oxide dust and the feasibility of microwave roasting zinc oxide dust to remove fluorine and chlorine. The dielectric constant, dielectric loss, and loss tangent were proportional to the apparent density of zinc oxide dust. The effects of sample mass and microwave power on the temperature increase characteristics under the microwave field were also studied. The results show that the apparent heating rate of the zinc oxide dust increases with the increase in microwave roasting power and decreases with the increase in the sample mass. The temperature of the samples reaches approximately 800 ＆#176;C after microwave treatment for 8 min, which indicates that the zinc oxide dust has strong microwave-absorption ability.

Physical and electromagnetic shielding properties of green carbon foam prepared from biomaterials

100%green carbon foam from the fibrous fruits of Platanus Orientalis-L(Plane)along with the tar oil as binder has been prepared using a powder molding technique.The objective was to develop a porous monolithic carbon from biomaterials with a considerable strength necessary for various physical,thermal and electromagnetic shielding applications.Fast carbonization was carried out at1000°C under the cover of Plane tree pyrolyzed seeds without using any external protective gas.For comparative analysis,some samples were mixed with5%(mass fraction)iron chloride during the molding process.Iron chloride being a graphitization catalyst and activating agent helped in increasing the specific surface area from88to294m2/g with a25%decrease in flexural strength.Thermal stability was improved due to the incorporation of more graphitic phases in the sample resulting in a little higher thermal conductivity from0.22to0.67W/(m·K).The catalytic carbon foam exhibited shielding effectiveness of more than20dB over the X-band frequency.Absorption was dominant with only8.26%?10.33%reflectance,indicating an absorption dominant shielding mechanism.The new material is quite suitable for high temperature thermal insulation being lightweight,highly porous with interconnected porous morphology most of which is preserved from the original biomaterial.

The mixed metal/metal sulphide(Ag@CoS)with reduced graphene oxide(rGO)nanocomposite(Ag@CoS/rGO)was synthesized for the possible electrode in supercapacitors.Ag@CoS was successfully deposited on the rGO nanosheets by hydrothermal method,implying the growth of 2D Ag and CoS-based hexagonal-like structure on the rGO framework.The synthesized nanocomposite was subjected to structural,morphological and electrochemical studies.The XRD results show that the prepared nanocomposite material exhibits a combination of hexagonal and cubic phase due to the presence of CoS and Ag phases together.The band appearing at nearly 470.33 cm^−1 in FTIR spectra can be ascribed to the absorption of S—S bond in the Ag@CoS/rGO nanocomposite.The clear hexagonal structure was analysed by SEM and TEM with the grain sizes ranging from nanometer to micrometer.The electrode material exhibits excellent cyclic stability with a specific capacitance of 1580 F/g at a current density of 0.5 A/g without any loss of capacitive retention even after 1000 cycles.Based on the electrochemical performance,it can be inferred that the prepared novel nanocomposite material is very suitable for using as an electrode for electrochemical supercapacitor applications.

Calculation of interaction of AlCl, AlCl_2 and AlCl_3 on Al_4C_3(001) Al_4CO_4(001) and Al_2CO(001) planes

To make sure the intermediate products of the carbothermic reduction of Al2O3 process, such as Al4CO4, Al2CO and Al4C3,and the interaction of AlCl, AlCl2, AlCl3 with Al4CO4, Al2CO and Al4C3, respectively, thermodynamic analyses were used to study the chloride reaction production of them under the vacuum situation. The stable structures and electronic properties of AlCl, AlCl2 and AlCl3 adsorbed on Al4CO4, Al2CO and Al4C3 were calculated by first-principles calculations by the CASTEP module in the Materials Studio program. The results show that the AlCl3 and AlCl2 molecules have decomposed on the plane of Al4C3（001）, while there are no obvious decomposition of AlCl3 and AlCl2 on Al4CO4（001） and Al2CO（001） planes. The adsorption of AlCl on the Al4CO4（001）and Al2CO（001） planes is stronger than that on the Al4C3（001） plane. The interaction strength of AlCl3, as well as AlCl2, with Al4CO4,Al2CO and Al4C3 is in the sequence of Al4CO4Al2CO〉Al4C3.

Evaluation of Heat and Current Characteristics of Bypass Diodes for Fault Detection in Photovoltaic Module

In recent years, PV （photovoltaic） systems have been installed rapidly around the world. However, there is often a delay in the practical application of fault detection in PV systems. In this study, the temperature of BD （bypass diodes） mounted on PV modules was measured for simple and practical fault detection. The temperature of the BD of Module 31 was higher than other modules and a large current passed through one of the BDs. Measuring BD temperatures is easier than other conventional methods of fault detection. From the results of the rise in BD temperature under dark conditions, the increase in temperature increased linearly with increasing current flow. There is a proportional relationship between heat generated and the increasing temperature of the terminal box. The experimental results about surface temperature of the junction box in actual system operation suggested that the electric current through a BD in a terminal box can be known by measuring the surface temperature of the terminal box for PV module fault detection without a system shutdown. Moreover, we tried to evaluate temperature distribution of a terminal box using heat conduction equations. The evaluated results agreed well with the measured results.

By linking TPE to the oxadiazole core through meta-or para-position, the intramolecular conjugation is effectively controlled. Thanks to the intelligent molecular design and specific AIE feature, when fabricated as emissive layers in non-doped OLEDs, they exhibit blue or deep-blue emission with CIE coordinates of (0.17, 0.23) and (0.15, 0.12), and good efficiencies with ηC, max and ηP, max up to 1.52 cd A-1 and 0.84 Im W-1 , shedding some light on the construction of deep-blue AIE fluorophores.

Subthermionic field-effect transistors with sub-5 nm gate lengths based on van der Waals ferroelectric heterostructures

Overcoming the sub-5 nm gate length limit and decreasing the power dissipation are two main objects in the electronics research field. Besides advanced engineering techniques, considering new material systems may be helpful. Here, we demonstrate two-dimensional(2D) subthermionic field-effect transistors(FETs) with sub-5 nm gate lengths based on ferroelectric(FE) van der Waals heterostructures(vdWHs).The FE vd WHs are composed of graphene, MoS2, and CuInP2S6 acting as 2D contacts, channels, and ferroelectric dielectric layers, respectively. We first show that the as-fabricated long-channel device exhibits nearly hysteresis-free subthermionic switching over three orders of magnitude of drain current at room temperature. Further, we fabricate short-channel subthermionic FETs using metallic carbon nanotubes as effective gate terminals. A typical device shows subthermionic switching over five-to-six orders of magnitude of drain current with a minimum subthreshold swing of 6.1 mV/dec at room temperature. Our results indicate that 2D materials system is promising for advanced highly-integrated energy-efficient electronic devices.

Structural,electronic,and thermoelectric properties of La_2CuBiS_5

The basic physical properties of La_2CuBiS_5 are studied by the first-principle calculations and the semiclassical Boltzmann theory.Charge density difference calculations show that electrons accumulate between Bi-S atoms,indicating considerable covalent bonding of Bi and S atoms.A similar charge density difference indicates that the Cu-S bonds also exhibit covalent character.The calculated minimum thermal conductivity of La_2CuBiS_5 is low,which is conducive to its use as a thermoelectric material.Owing to a bipolar effect,induced by thermal excitation,the material＇s Seebeck coefficient decreases sharply at T = 800 K.For the n-type and p-type doping conditions,the largest values of S^2σ/τ were calculated as-1.71×10^（11） and 1.837×10^（11） W K^（-2）ms^（-1）,respectively.The combination of a large dispersion and a high band degeneracy along the Γ-Y direction in the band structure simultaneously induces the highest S_y value and a high σ/τ_y value.Thus,the thermoelectric performance of La_2CuBiS_5 is anisotropic and most favorable along the y direction.

Experimental study of viscosity characteristics of hightemperature heat transfer molten salts

In this paper several kinds of high temperature molten salts were investigated experimentally on viscosity-temperature characteristics with high-temperature viscometer.The viscosities of the molten salts were measured and compared with those from references to verify the reliability of the viscometer and measuring methods,and a good agreement was observed from the comparisons.Then,two new high-temperature molten salts were made from the HITEC salt by some additives and the viscosity-temperature profiles of them were obtained by experiments.The results show that the new molten salts have much lower viscosities,thus suitable for reducing the flow resistance in transportation system of high-temperature solar thermal power generation.

Photoelectrochemical characteristics of TiO_2 nanorod arrays grown on fluorine doped tin oxide substrates by the facile seeding layer assisted hydrothermal method

TiO2 nanorod arrays （NRAs） were prepared on,fluorine doped tin oxide （FTO） substrates by a facile two-step hydrothermal method. The nanorods were selectively grown on the FTO regions which were covered with TiO2 seeding layer. It took 5 h to obtain the compact arrays with the nanorod length of -2 μm and diameter of-50 nm. The photoelectrochemical （PEC） properties of TiO2 NRAs are also investigated. It is demonstrated that the TiO2 NRAs indicate the good photoelectric conversion ability with an efficiency of 0.22% at a full-wavelength irradiation. A photocurrent density of 0.21 mA/cm2 is observed at 0,7 V versus the saturated calomel electrode （SCE）. More evidences suggest that the charge transferring resistance is lowered at an irradiation, while the flat-band potential （Vgb） is shifted towards the positive side.

Modeling, Experimental Study on the Heat Transfer Characteristics of Thermoelectric Generator

This paper investigates the heat transfer characteristics of a thermoelectric generator. The influence of heat dissipation intensity to the sub-thermal resistances distribution is experimentally studied. Based on the thermal network analysis and finite time thermodynamics, an analytical model including all thermal resistances (in both thermocouples and external heat exchangers) is developed to predict the performance of the generator. The results show that the computed values of output power agree well with the experimental values. The heat transfer enhancement on the generator cold side greatly reduces the cold side temperature and thermal resistance, and obviously improves the output power. Compare with air natural convection cooling, the main thermal resistance changes from the resistance between the fins and the ambient to the thermal contact resistances between the generator and the heat sink at the conditions of forced convection and water cooling. This study may be guide the optimization of generator structure.
