Simultaneous thermogravimetric–differential scanning calorimetry–derivative thermogravimetric analysis was applied to investigating the mixture of transition metal acetates. X-ray powder diffraction and charge–discharge test were adopted to characterize the as-prepared LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2. The mixture of transition metal acetates undergoes dehydration and decomposition during heating. All the examined LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 samples have a layered structure with R3 m space group. LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 samples prepared with different lithium sources under different synthesis conditions exhibit very different charge–discharge performances. The sample synthesized via the procedure of sintering at 800 °C after heating lithium carbonate and transition metal acetates at 550 °C achieves a highest capacity of 200.8 m A·h/g and an average capacity of 188.1 mA ·h/g in the first 20 cycles at 0.2C.展开更多

Referring to the visualized material flow patterns, a three-dimensional model was developed to conduct the numerical simulation of the temperature profile and plastic material flow in friction stir welding. The calculated velocity contour of plastic flow in close proximity of the tool is generally consistent with the visualized results. As the tool rotation speed increases at a constant tool travel speed, the material flow near the pin gets stronger. The predicted shape and size of the weld nugget zone match with the experimentally measured ones.展开更多
