In the attachment energy range of 0-10 eV, three shape resonances for serine 1, serine 2, and serine 4 and four shape resonances for serine 3 are predicted. The one-dimensional potential energy curves of the temporary negative ions of electron-serine are calculated to explore the correlations between the shape resonance and the bond cleavage. The bond-cleavage selectivity of the different resonant states for a certain conformer is demonstrated, and the recent experimental results about the dissociative electron attachment to serine are interpreted on the basis of present calculations.展开更多

Neutral excited N^* and O^* atoms are detected by fluorescence spectroscopy for the NO molecule upon interaction with 800 nm intense laser radiation of duration 60 fs and intensity 0.2 PW/cm^2. Intense laser pulse causes neutral dissociation of superexcited NO molecule by way of multiphoton excitation, which is equivalent to single photon excitation in the extreme-ultraviolet region by synchrotron radiation. Potential energy curves (PECs) are also built using the calculated superexcited state of NO^+. In light of the PECs, direct dissociation and pre-dissociation mechanisms are proposed respectively for the neutral dissociation leading to excited fragments N^* and O^*.展开更多

Experimental results show that the excited triplet of AQS (3AQS*) could react rapidly with H2O and the transient absorption spectra greatly changed by increasing the volume fraction of the ionic liquid (VIL) in [BPy][BF4]/H2O mixtures. The absorbance at 510 nm increased gradually with increasing VIL when 0〈VIL〈0.1. By contrast, the absorbance decreased gradually when VIL〉0.1. Otherwise, the absorbance of the band near 380 nm steadily increased. The apparent kinetic parameters of transient species B and ^3AQS* are obtained approximately. 3AQS* abstracting hydrogen from [BPy]+ was also explored. It was deduced that the 350-420 nm band was the superposition of the peaks of 3AQS* and AQSH'. The two reactions of 3AQS* with [BPy][BF4] and H2O are a pair of competitive reactions. We also concluded that the entire reaction processes slow down in the case of high [BPy] [BF4] concentrations.展开更多

The geometries and frequencies of the reactants, transition states and products have been performed at B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level, and single-point energy calculations for all the stationary points were carried out at DFT calculations of the optimized structures with the G3B3 level.

With the help of available published experimental data and theoretical results, four dissociative photoionization channels have been proposed: CTHT++H, C6Hs++CH3, C5H6+WC2H2, CsHs++C2H2+H. Transition structures and intermediates for those isomerization processes are determined in this work.

In contrast to the experimental studies of photoexcitation ion-pair dissociation, there are some experimental challenges in the electron-impact ion-pair dissociation study, in particular, on determination of the energetic threshold. Here we report an experimental development for the ion-pair dissociation study by using the monochromized electron impacts. As an example, the threshold of BrCN→Br^-+CN^+ is determined as 13.78 eV according to the appearance energy of CN^+ signals, meanwhile, the time-sliced ion velocity image of CN^+ is recorded at 16.09 eV and indicates an anisotropic distribution of the CN^+ momentum.展开更多

The H(2 S)+O(1 D) and H(2 S)+O(1 S) product channels are observed in the dissociation of the OH radical on the 22Π and B2Σ+repulsive states, respectively, from sequential two-photon excitation via the A2Σ+(v′=2, J′=0.5-2.5)state. Both H+O product channels have anisotropic angular distributions, with β=-0.97 for H(2 S)+O(1 D) and 1.97 for H(2 S)+O(1 S). The anisotropic angular distributions are consistent with a mechanism of OH direct dissociation on the repulsive potential energy curves(PECs) leading to the H+O products. The OH bond dissociation energy D0(O-H) is determined to be 35580±15 cm-1.展开更多

Present paper reports fabrication of All-Solid-State battery based on the following Mg2+-ion conducting nano composite polymer electrolyte (NCPE) films: [85PEO: 15Mg(C104)2] + 5% TiO2 (〈 100 nm), [85PEO: 15Mg(CIO4)2] + 3% SiO2(-8 nm). [85PEO: 15Mg(CIO4)2] + 3% MgO (〈 100 nm), [85PEO:15Mg(C1O4)2] + 3% MgO (-44 μm). NCPE films were prepared by hot-press technique. Solid Polymer Electrolyte (SPE) composition: [85PEO: 15Mg(CIO4)2], identified as high conducting film at room temperature, has been used as ISt--phase host and nano/micro particles of active (MgO)/passive (SiO2, TiO2) fillers as IInd-phase dispersoid. Filler particle dependent conductivity studies identified above mentioned NCPE films as optimum conducting composition (OCC) at room temperature. Ion transport behavior of SPE/NCPE film materials was investigated previously. Present paper reports materials characterization and cell performance studies on All-Solid-State batteries: Mg (Anode) Ⅱ SPE or NCPE films tt C+MnO2+Electrolyte (Cathode). Open circuit voltage (OCV) obtained was in the range: 1.79-1.92 V. The batteries were discharged at room temperature under different load conditions and some important battery parameters have been evaluated from plateau region of cell-potential discharge profiles. All the batteries performed quite satisfactorily specially under low current drain states.展开更多

However, searching compatible solid electrolyte and reversible conversion cathode is still a big challenge. The phase transformation at cathode and Li deformation at anode would usually deactivate the electrode-electrolyte interfaces. Herein, we propose an all-solid-state Li-FeF_(3) conversion battery reinforced by hierarchical microsphere stacked polymer electrolyte for the first time. This gC_(3)N_(4) stuffed polyethylene oxide(PEO)-based electrolyte is lightweight due to the absence of metal element doping, and it enables the spatial confinement and dissolution suppression of conversion products at soft cathode-polymer interface, as well as Li dendrite inhibition at filler-reinforced anode-polymer interface. Two-dimensional(2 D)-nanosheet-built porous g-C_(3)N_(4) as three-dimensional(3 D) textured filler can strongly cross-link with PEO matrix and Li TFSI(TFSI: bistrifluoromethanesulfonimide) anion, leading to a more conductive and salt-dissociated interface and therefore improved conductivity(2.5×10^(-4) S/cm at 60℃) and Li+transference number(0.69). The compact stacking of highly regular robust microspheres in polymer electrolyte enables a successful stabilization and smoothening of Li metal with ultra-long plating/striping cycling for at least 10,000 h. The corresponding Li/LiFePO_(4) solid cells can endure an extremely high rate of 12 C. All-solid-state Li/FeF_(3) cells show highly stabilized capacity as high as 300 m Ah/g even after 200 cycles and of 200 m Ah/g at extremely high rate of 5 C, as well as ultra-long cycling for at least 1200 cycles at 1 C. High pseudocapacitance contribution(>55%) and diffusion coefficient(as high as10^(-12) cm^(2)/s) are responsible for this high-rate fluoride conversion. This result provides a promising solution to conversion-type Li metal batteries of high energy and safety beyond Li-S batteries, which are difficult to realize true "all-solid-state" due to the indispensable step of polysulfide solid-liquid conversion.展开更多

In contrast to the experimental studies of photoexcitation ion-pair dissociation, there are some experimental challenges in the electron-impact ion-pair dissociation study, in particular, on determination of the energetic threshold. Here we report an experimental development for the ion-pair dissociation study by using the monochromized electron impacts. As an example, the threshold of BrCN→Br^-+CN^+ is determined as 13.78 eV according to the appearance energy of CN^+ signals, meanwhile, the time-sliced ion velocity image of CN^+ is recorded at 16.09 eV and indicates an anisotropic distribution of the CN^+ momentum.

文摘Two-photon dissociation dynamics of the OH radical is studied using the high-n Rydberg atom time-of-flight(HRTOF) technique. The H(2 S)+O(1 D) and H(2 S)+O(1 S) product channels are observed in the dissociation of the OH radical on the 22Π and B2Σ+repulsive states, respectively, from sequential two-photon excitation via the A2Σ+(v′=2, J′=0.5-2.5)state. Both H+O product channels have anisotropic angular distributions, with β=-0.97 for H(2 S)+O(1 D) and 1.97 for H(2 S)+O(1 S). The anisotropic angular distributions are consistent with a mechanism of OH direct dissociation on the repulsive potential energy curves(PECs) leading to the H+O products. The OH bond dissociation energy D0(O-H) is determined to be 35580±15 cm-1.
文摘For All-Solid-State battery applications, Mg2+-ion conducting polymer electrolytes and Mg-metal electrode are currently considered as alternate choices in place of Li+-ion conducting polymer electrolytes/Li-metal electrode. Present paper reports fabrication of All-Solid-State battery based on the following Mg2+-ion conducting nano composite polymer electrolyte (NCPE) films: [85PEO: 15Mg(C104)2] + 5% TiO2 (〈 100 nm), [85PEO: 15Mg(CIO4)2] + 3% SiO2(-8 nm). [85PEO: 15Mg(CIO4)2] + 3% MgO (〈 100 nm), [85PEO:15Mg(C1O4)2] + 3% MgO (-44 μm). NCPE films were prepared by hot-press technique. Solid Polymer Electrolyte (SPE) composition: [85PEO: 15Mg(CIO4)2], identified as high conducting film at room temperature, has been used as ISt--phase host and nano/micro particles of active (MgO)/passive (SiO2, TiO2) fillers as IInd-phase dispersoid. Filler particle dependent conductivity studies identified above mentioned NCPE films as optimum conducting composition (OCC) at room temperature. Ion transport behavior of SPE/NCPE film materials was investigated previously. Present paper reports materials characterization and cell performance studies on All-Solid-State batteries: Mg (Anode) Ⅱ SPE or NCPE films tt C+MnO2+Electrolyte (Cathode). Open circuit voltage (OCV) obtained was in the range: 1.79-1.92 V. The batteries were discharged at room temperature under different load conditions and some important battery parameters have been evaluated from plateau region of cell-potential discharge profiles. All the batteries performed quite satisfactorily specially under low current drain states.

文摘The development of high-performance solid polymer electrolytes is crucial for producing all-solid-state lithium metal batteries with high safety and high energy density.However,the low ionic conductivity of solid polymer electrolytes and their unstable electrolyte/electrode interfaces have hindered their widespread utilization.To address these critical challenges,a strong Lewis acid(aluminum fluoride(AIF_(3)))with dual functionality is introduced into poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO)-based polymer electrolyte.The AlF;facilitates the dissociation of lithium salt,increasing the iontransfer efficiency due to the Lewis acid-base interaction;further the in-situ formation of lithium fluoride-rich interfacial layer is promoted,which suppresses the uneven lithium deposition and continuous undesired reactions between the Li metal and PEO matrix.Benefiting from our rational design,the symmetric Li/Li battery with the modified electrolyte exhibits much longer cycling stability(over 3600 h)than that of the pure PEO/lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide(LiTFSI)electrolyte(550 h).Furthermore,the all-solid-state LiFeP04 full cell with the composite electrolyte displays a much higher Coulombic efficiency(98.4%after 150 cycles)than that of the electrolyte without the AlF;additive(63.3%after 150 cycles)at a large voltage window of 2.4-4.2 V,demonstrating the improved interface and cycling stability of solid polymer lithium metal batteries.

文摘Pursuing all-solid-state lithium metal batteries with dual upgrading of safety and energy density is of great significance. However, searching compatible solid electrolyte and reversible conversion cathode is still a big challenge. The phase transformation at cathode and Li deformation at anode would usually deactivate the electrode-electrolyte interfaces. Herein, we propose an all-solid-state Li-FeF_(3) conversion battery reinforced by hierarchical microsphere stacked polymer electrolyte for the first time. This gC_(3)N_(4) stuffed polyethylene oxide(PEO)-based electrolyte is lightweight due to the absence of metal element doping, and it enables the spatial confinement and dissolution suppression of conversion products at soft cathode-polymer interface, as well as Li dendrite inhibition at filler-reinforced anode-polymer interface. Two-dimensional(2 D)-nanosheet-built porous g-C_(3)N_(4) as three-dimensional(3 D) textured filler can strongly cross-link with PEO matrix and Li TFSI(TFSI: bistrifluoromethanesulfonimide) anion, leading to a more conductive and salt-dissociated interface and therefore improved conductivity(2.5×10^(-4) S/cm at 60℃) and Li+transference number(0.69). The compact stacking of highly regular robust microspheres in polymer electrolyte enables a successful stabilization and smoothening of Li metal with ultra-long plating/striping cycling for at least 10,000 h. The corresponding Li/LiFePO_(4) solid cells can endure an extremely high rate of 12 C. All-solid-state Li/FeF_(3) cells show highly stabilized capacity as high as 300 m Ah/g even after 200 cycles and of 200 m Ah/g at extremely high rate of 5 C, as well as ultra-long cycling for at least 1200 cycles at 1 C. High pseudocapacitance contribution(>55%) and diffusion coefficient(as high as10^(-12) cm^(2)/s) are responsible for this high-rate fluoride conversion. This result provides a promising solution to conversion-type Li metal batteries of high energy and safety beyond Li-S batteries, which are difficult to realize true "all-solid-state" due to the indispensable step of polysulfide solid-liquid conversion.

文摘Rational composite design is highly important for the development of high-performance composite polymer electrolytes(CPEs)for solid-state lithium(Li)metal batteries.In this work,Li closo-borohydride,Li_(2)B_(12)H_(12),is introduced to poly(vinylidene fluoride)-Li-bis-(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide(PVDF-LiTFSI)with a bound N-methyl pyrrolidone plasticizer to form a novel CPE.This CPE shows superb Li^(+)conduction properties,as evidenced by its conductivity of 1.43×10^(-4) S cm^(-1) and Li^(+)transference number of 0.34 at 25℃.Density functional theory calculations reveal that Li_(2)B_(12)H_(12),which features electron-deficient multicenter bonds,can facilitate the dissociation of LiTFSI and enhance the immobilization of TFSI to improve the Li^(+)conduction properties of the CPE.Moreover,the fabricated CPE exhibits excellent electrochemical,thermal,and mechanical stability.The addition of Li_(2)B_(12)H_(12) can help form a protective layer at the anode/electrolyte interface,thereby preventing unwanted reactions.The above benefits of the fabricated CPE contribute to the high compatibility of the electrode.Symmetric Li cells can be stably cycled at 0.2mA cm^(-2) for over 1200 h,and Li||LiFePO_(4) cells can deliver a reversible specific capacity of 140mAh g^(-1) after 200 cycles at 1C at 25℃ with a capacity retention of 98%.

文摘The exciton dissociation at ITO/pentacene interface is studied by means of transient photovoltage measurement.Opposite to ITO/NPB,ITO/CuPc or ITO/C60 interface where polarity change of transient photovoltage is observed,no interfacial dissociation is found at room temperature,which indicates a lack of Frenkel excitons in pentacene.Temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) is investigated.More like the behavior of inorganic semiconductors,the integrated PL intensity exhibits monotonic decrease with increasing temperature.A nonradiative path with characteristic activation energy of 8 meV is found to dominate at room temperature.The PL measurement also indicates that like in inorganic semiconductors,other types of excitation,for example,free carriers,could be responsible for the photoelectric processes.

文摘As one of the most promising next-generation energy storage devices,the lithium-metal battery has been extensively investigated.However,safety issues and undesired lithium dendrite growth hinder its development.The application of solid-state electrolytes has attracted increasing attention as they can solve safety issues and show great potential to inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites.Polyethylene oxide(PEO)-based electrolytes are very promising due to their enhanced safety and excellent flexibility.However,they suffer from low ionic conductivity at room temperature and cannot effectively inhibit lithium dendrites at high temperatures due to the intrinsic semicrystalline properties and poor mechanical strength.In this work,a novel coral-like Li_(6.25)Al_(0.25)La_(3)Zr_(2)O_(12)(C-LALZO)is synthesized to serve as an active ceramic filler in PEO.The PEO with LALZO coral(PLC)exhibits increased ionic conductivity and mechanical strength,which leads to uniform deposition/stripping of lithium metal.The Li symmetric cells with PLC do not cause a short circuit after cycling for 1500 h at 60℃.The assembled LiFePO_(4)/PLC/Li batteries display excellent cycling stability at both 60 and 50℃.This work reveals that the electrochemical properties of the composite electrolyte can be effectively improved by tuning the microstructure of the filler,such as the C-LALZO architecture.
