Electric field simulation shows that the current density along the side gap decreases with increasing the thickness of electrode insulation. And the analysis of the electrolyte flow in the frontal gap shows that the insulation thickness has a remarkable influence on the pressure distributions. Ex- periments investigate the influence of the insulation thickness on the main characteristics of the machined hole, i.e. , radial overcut, entrance conicity, and current stability. The poor hole is observed and identified as most likely to occur with a combination of the low tool feed rate and the low insulation thickness. The appropriate thickness of the insulating layer leads to an improvement on hole accuracy and machining stability.展开更多

Two 18650 cells with and without VC additive were investigated by galvanostatic cycling, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis and Raman spectroscopy. The results show that in the presence of VC additive, dissolution of Fe from LiFePO4 material is greatly depressed and stability of graphite structure is improved; the additive can not only reduce reaction of electrolyte on surface of LiFePO4 electrode but also suppress reduction of solvent and thickening of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer on graphite surface. Electrolyte with VC is considered to be a good candidate for improving cycling performance of the LiFePOa/graphite cell at elevated temperature.展开更多

Correspondingly, there is an urgent demand for an appropriate measurement method to be established for the reliable evaluation of NPMEs. In this study, platinum and graphite counter electrodes were used to investigate the impact of counter electrode material on the accelerated durability testing (ADT) of NPMEs in acidic medium. Platinum used as the coun- ter electrode in a traditional three-electrode electrochemical cell was found to dissolve in acidic medium and re-deposit on NPME coated on the working electrode during ADT. Such re-deposition causes the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance of NPMEs to remarkably improve, and thus will seriously mislead our judgment of NPMEs if we are unaware of it. The phenomenon can be avoided using a graphite counter electrode.展开更多

The results show that the conductivities of melts increase with the increase of temperature, but by different extents. Every increasing 10 ℃ results in an increase of 1.85 × 10^-2, 1.86× 10^-2, 1.89 × 10^-2 and 2.20 × 10^-2 S/cm in conductivity for the (Na3AlF6-40%K3AlF6)-AlF3 melts containing 0%, 20%, 24%, and 30% AlF3, respectively. An increase of every 10 ℃ in temperature results an increase about 1.89× 10^-2, 1.94 × 10^-2, 1.95 × 10^-2, 1.99× 10^-2 and 2.10× 10^-2 S/cm for (Na3AlF6-40%K3AlF6)-AlF3-Al2O3 melts containing 0%, 1%, 2%, 3% and 4% Al2O3, respectively. The activation energy of conductance was calculated based on Arrhenius equation. Every increasing 1% of AlF3 results in a decrease of 0.019 and 0.020 S/cm in conductivity for (Na3AlF6-40%K3AlF6)-AlF3 melts at 900 and 1 000 ℃, respectively. Every increase of 1% Al2O3 results in a decrease of 0.07 S/cm in conductivity for (Na3AlF6-40%K3AlF6)-AlF3-Al2O3 melts. The activation energy of conductance increases with the increase in content of AlF3 and Al2O3.展开更多

The influences of the calcination temperature, additive content (2.5%-10.0% Fe2O3, mass fraction) and the basic density of the activation process were thoroughly investigated. The surface of catalysts was characterized by Boehm titration. The products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results show that catalysts with 2.5%-5.0% Fe2O3 after calcining at 500 ℃ have superior activity. The conversion rate of COS increases with increasing the relative density of basic capacity loaded onto activated carbon(AC), and the activity follows the order: KOH〉Na2CO3 〉NaHCO3. Boehm titration data clearly show that the total acidity increases (from 0.06 to 0.48 mmol/g) and the basic groups decrease (from 0.78 to 0.56 mmol/g) after COS hydrolysis and H2S adsorption. The XPS results show that the product of HzS may be absorbed by the interaction with metal compounds and 02 to form sulfate (171.28 eV) and element sulfur (164.44 eV), which lead to catalysts poisoning.展开更多
