For analyzing performance degradation data, a two-parameter model based on GM was developed. In order to improve the prediction accuracy of the two-parameter model, parameter selection based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) was used. Then, the new PSO-GM(1, 2, co) optimization model was constructed, which was validated experimentally by conducting an accelerated testing on the Ta capacitors. The experiments were conducted at three different stress levels of 85, 120, and 145℃. The results of two experiments were used in estimating the parameters. And the reliability of the Ta capacitors was estimated at the same stress conditions of the third experiment. The results indicate that the proposed method is valid and accurate.展开更多

However,their wide application is still limited by their inferior cycle stability(<3000 cycles) and poor temperature tolerance. Furthermore, many of the reported high rate behaviors are achieved at a low mass loading(<3 mg cm^(-2)) of the electrodes. Herein, we propose an aqueous Na-ion battery which includes a Ni-based Prussian blue(NiHCF) cathode, a carbonyl-based organic compound, 5,7,12,14-pentacenetetrone(PT)anode and a “water-in-salt” electrolyte(17 mol kg^(-1)NaClO_(4)in water). Its operation involves the reversible coordination reaction of the PT anode and the extraction/insertion of Na;in the NiHCF cathode. It is demonstrated that the wide internal spaces of the PT anode and NiHCF cathode can not only buffer the volumetric change induced by Na;storage, but also enable fast kinetics. The full cell exhibits a supercapacitor-like rate performance of 50 A g^(-1)(corresponding to a discharge or charge within 6.3 s)and a super-long lifespan of 15,000 cycles. Moreover, the excellent rate performance can still be preserved even with a high mass loading of the electrodes(15 mgNiHCFcm^(-2)and 8 mgPTcm^(-2)).Especially, the cell can work well in a wide temperature range, from-40 to 100 °C, showing a typical all-climate operation.展开更多

The half lifetime of the device using 4CzlPN as host material has doubled, and a slower voltage rise compared with that of CBP-based devices has been achieved, which indicates the improvement of stability. We attribute the better sta- bility to the good film morphology and difficult crystallization property of 4CzlPN. Our results suggest that employing the 4CzlPN as host material can be a promising way of fabricating OLEDs with longer operation lifetime.展开更多
