These methods-mechanical disintegration, thermal hydrolysis and ultrasonic disintegration-are compared from the point of view of energy. This comparison requires knowledge of mass and heat balances. The data needed for evaluating of all processes has been obtained from our previous research and also from our own experiments, especially for the case of ultrasonic disintegration.展开更多

HVFA concrete can play the role of a high-performance material that may be comparable to the conventional Portland cement concrete. The results of the research programme concerning the relationships between the composition of concrete (w/b ratio, fly ash content and type of cement) and their physical and mechanical properties are presented and discussed in the paper. It is found that the introduction of high-volume fly ash into concrete has caused a decrease in compressive strength at the early age of storage. The significant increase in strength was observed between 28 days and 90 days of curing. The high-volume fly ash concretes were characterized with lower water absorbability and sorptivity than control concrete.展开更多

Unfortunately, the low energy density,poor power density and cycling performance hinder its further practical applications. In this study, in order to obtain high performance negative iron-based material, we first synthesized a-iron oxide(α-Fe2O3) nanorods(NRs) with superstructures on the surface of highly conductive carbon nanotube fibers(CNTFs), then electrically conductive polypyrrole(PPy) was coated to enhance the electron, ion diffusion and cycle stability. The as-prepared α-Fe2O3@PPy NRs/CNTF electrode shows a high specific capacity of 0.62 Ah cm-3 at the current density of 1 A cm-3. Furthermore, the Ni/Fe battery that was assembled by the above negative electrode shows a maximum volumetric energy density of 15.47 mWh cm-3 with228.2 mW cm-3 at a current density of 1 A cm-3. The cycling durability and mechanical flexibility of the Ni/Fe battery were tested, which show good prospect for practical application. In summary, these merits make it possible for our Ni/Fe battery to have practical applications in next generation flexible energy storage devices.展开更多
