A Gaussian-like distribution was constructed as the sub-model of overlapped peaks by analyzing the characteristics of linear sweep polarographic curve. Then, the abscissas of each peak and trough were pinpointed through multi-resolution wavelet decomposition, the curve and its derivative curves were fitted by using nonlinear weighted least squares (NWLS). Finally, overlapped peaks were resolved into independent sub-peaks based on fitted reconstruction parameters. The experimental results show that the relative error of half-wave potential pinpointed by multi-resolution wavelet decomposition is less than 1% and the accuracy of Ip fitted by NWLS is higher than 96%. The proposed resolution method is effective for overlapped linear sweep polarographic peaks of Zn(Ⅱ) and Co(Ⅱ).展开更多
To improve the low-temperature performances of Li-ion cells, three types of linear carboxylic ester-based electrolyte, such as EC/EMC/EA(1:1:2, mass ratio), EC/EMC/EP(1:1:2, mass ratio) and EC/EMC/EB(1:1:2,...To improve the low-temperature performances of Li-ion cells, three types of linear carboxylic ester-based electrolyte, such as EC/EMC/EA(1:1:2, mass ratio), EC/EMC/EP(1:1:2, mass ratio) and EC/EMC/EB(1:1:2, mass ratio), were prepared to substitute for industrial electrolyte(EC/EMC/DMC). Then, 18650-type Li Mn2O4-graphite cells(nominal capacity of 1150 mA ·h) were assembled and studied. Results show that the cells containing three types of electrolyte are able to undertake 5C discharging current with above 93% capacity retention at-20 °C. Electrochemical impedance spectra show that the discharge capacity fading of Li-ion cells at low temperature is mainly ascribed to the charge transfer resistance increasing with temperature decreasing. In comparison, the cells containing electrolyte of 1.0 mol/L LiPF6 in EC/EMC/EA(1:1:2, mass ratio) have the highest capacity retention of 90% at-40 °C and 44.41% at-60 °C, due to its lowest charge-transfer resistance.展开更多

The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the scan electron microscope (SEM) are used to investigate the phases and microstructures. The measurements and analyses of oxygen ionic conductivity of SDC-LSGM are carried out through the four-terminal direct current (DC) method and the electrochemical impendence spectroscopy, respectively. The optimum weight ratio of SDC-LSGM is 8∶2, of which the ionic conductivity is 0.113 S/cm at 800℃ and the conductivity activation energy is 0.620 eV. The impendence spectra shows that the grain boundary resistance becomes the main barrier for the ionic conductivity of electrolyte at lower temperatures. The appropriate introduction of LSGM to the electrolyte SDC can not only decrease the electronic conductivity but also improve the conditions of the grain and grain boundary, which is advantageous to cause an increase in oxygen ionic conductivity.展开更多

With the references of the high-resolution photoabsorption spectra reported in the literatures, we make tentative assignments of the electron valence-to-Rydberg transitions. Furthermore, the multibody ion-pair fragmentation processes to Cl- are discussed by comparison between the calculated thermochemical thresholds and the experimental efficiency spectrum.展开更多

The experimental factors in aqueous solutions including persulfate concentration, Fe2+ concentration, pH and ionic strength level were discussed. It is demonstrated that, aniline degradation rate increases with increasing persulfate concentration, but much more ferrous ion inhibits the aniline degradation. When the aniline concentration is 0.10 mmol/L, the maximum aniline degradation occurs at the S2O82- to Fe2+ molar ratio of 250/5 at pH 7.0. In the pH range of 5.0-8.5, increasing pH causes higher aniline degradation. What's more, the increase of ionic strength in solution causes inhibiting in the reaction. Produced intermediates during the oxidation process were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technology. And degradation pathways of aniline were also tentatively proposed.展开更多

Both angular and translational energy distributions for the CO products at different rotational and vibrational states have been obtained. The 2+1 REMPI spectrum of CO products is also obtained.

The DSSCs incorporating tris(1,10-phenanthroline)eobalt(Ⅱ/Ⅲ)-based redox elec- trolyte and four synthesized organic dyes as photosensitizers are described. The photovoltaic performance of these dyes-sensitized solar cells employing the cobalt redox shuttle and the influences of the w-conjugated spacers of organic dyes upon the photovoltage and photocur- rent of mesoscopic titania solar cells are investigated. It is found that organic dyes with thiophene derivates as linkers are suitable for DSSCs employing cobalt electrolytes.

The ion complexes of interest are each mass-selected in a time- of-flight spectrometer, and studied with infrared photodissociation spectroscopy. For each complex, a sharp band in the CO stretching frequency region is observed, which confirms the formation of the OTi+CO(CO2)~_l oxide-carbonyl species. Small OTi+CO(CO2)~_1 complexes (n_〈5) exhibit CO stretching and antisymmetric CO2 stretching vibrational bands that are blue-shifted from those of free CO and CO2. The experimental observations indicate that the coordination number of CO and CO2 molecules around TiO+ is five. Evidence is also observed for the presence of another electrostatic bonding Ti+(CO2)2 structural isomer for the Ti+(CO2)2Ar complex, which is characterized to have a bent OCO-Ti+-OCO structure stabilized by argon coordination.展开更多

文摘The aniline degradation by persulfate activated with ferrous ion (Fe2+ ) was investigated in batch reactor at ambient temperature. The experimental factors in aqueous solutions including persulfate concentration, Fe2+ concentration, pH and ionic strength level were discussed. It is demonstrated that, aniline degradation rate increases with increasing persulfate concentration, but much more ferrous ion inhibits the aniline degradation. When the aniline concentration is 0.10 mmol/L, the maximum aniline degradation occurs at the S2O82- to Fe2+ molar ratio of 250/5 at pH 7.0. In the pH range of 5.0-8.5, increasing pH causes higher aniline degradation. What's more, the increase of ionic strength in solution causes inhibiting in the reaction. Produced intermediates during the oxidation process were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technology. And degradation pathways of aniline were also tentatively proposed.
