Loosely coordinating diluted highly concentrated electrolyte toward -60℃ Li metal batteries

Lithium metal batteries(LMBs) promise energy density over 400 Wh kg^(-1).However,they suffer severe electrochemical performance deterioration at sub-zero temperatures.Such failure behavior highly correlates to inferior lithium metal anode(LMA) compatibility and sluggish Li^(+) desolvation.Here,we demonstrate that cyclopentylmethyl ether(CPME) based diluted high-concentration electrolyte(DHCE)enables-60℃ LMBs operation.By leveraging the loose coordination between Li^(+) and CPME,such developed electrolyte boosts the formation of ion clusters to derive anion-dominant interfacial chemistry for enhancing LMA compatibility and greatly accelerates Li^(+) desolvation kinetics.The resulting electrolyte demonstrates high Coulombic efficiencies(CE),providing over 99.5%,99.1%,98.5% and 95% at 25,-20,-40,and-60℃respectively.The assembled Li-S battery exhibits remarkable cyclic stability in-20,and-40℃ at 0.2 C charging and 0.5 C discharging.Even at-60℃,Li-S cell with this designed electrolyte retains> 70% of the initial capacity over 170 cycles.Besides,lithium metal coin cell and pouch cell with10 mg cm^(-2) high S cathode loading exhibit cycling stability at-20℃.This work offers an opportunity for rational designing electrolytes toward low temperature LMBs.

Multi-Point Forming Technology for Sheet Metal

Multi-point forming (MPF) is an advanced manufacturing technology for three-dimensional sheet metal parts. In this paper, the MPF integrated system is described that can form a variety of part shapes without the need for solid dies, and given only geometry and material information about the desired part. The central component of this system is a pair of matrices of punches, and the desired discrete die surface is constructed by changing the positions of punches though the CAD and control system. The basic MPF process is introduced and the typical application examples show the applicability of the MPF technology. Wrinkle and dimple are the major forming defects in MPF process, numerical simulation is a feasible way to predict forming defects in MPF. In conventional stamping, the mode to form sheet metal with blankholder is an effective way to suppress wrinkling; the same is true in MPF. A MPF press with flexible blankholder was developed, and the forming results indicated the forming stability of this technique. Based on the flexibility of MPF, varying deformation path MPF and sectional MPF were explored that cannot be realized in conventional stamping. By controlling each punch in real-time, a sheet part can be manufactured along a specific forming path. When the path of deformation in MPF is designed properly, forming defects will be avoided completely and lager deformation is achieved. A work piece can be formed section by section though the sectional MPF, and this technique makes it possible to manufacture large size parts in a small MPF press. Some critical experiments were performed that confirmed the validity of two special MPF techniques.

Two new isostructural multi-metal beryllium borates, m^3 Li Na4Be4B10O24F（M = Sr（1）, Cd（2））, have been synthesized by spontaneous crystallization. The structures were verified by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The compounds crystallize in the trigonal space group R 3, with a = b = 9.4645（1） A, c = 38.842（8） A, V = 3013.2（6） A3, Z = 6, F（000） = 2568, Dc = 3.005 g/cm^3, Mr = 908.9, R = 0.0327, w R = 0.0678, μ = 8.160 mm-1 for Sr3 Li Na4Be4B10O24F and a = b = 9.3019（8） A, c = 37.782（7） A, V = 2831.12（9） A3, Z = 6, F（000） = 2748, Dc = 3.459 g/cm^3, Mr = 983.24, R = 0.0158, w R = 0.0455, μ = 3.586 mm-1 for Cd3 Li Na4Be4B10O24F. The structures are characterized by an infinite two-dimensional [Be8B16O40F2]∞ double layer bridged by [B12O24] groups like a sandwich structure, while the cations reside in tunnels along different directions. UV-vis-IR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy demonstrates that their cut-off edges are below 200 nm. Thermal analysis shows that they melt incongruently and their melting points are around 740-770 ℃.

Research on the process of fabricating a multi-layer metal micro-structure based on UV-LIGA overlay technology

In this paper,we report the study of the process of fabricating a multi-layermetal micro-structure using UV-LIGA overlay technology,includingmask fabrication,substrate treatment,and UV-LIGA overlay processes.To solve the process problems in the masking procedure,the swelling problemof the first layer of SU-8 thick photoresist was studied experimentally.The 5μmline-width compensation and closed 20μmand 30μmisolation strips were designed and fabricated around the micro-structure pattern.The pore problemin the Ni micro-electroforming layer was analyzed and the electroforming parameters were improved.The pH value of the electroforming solution should be controlled between 3.8 and 4.4 and the current density should be below 3 A/dm^2.To solve the problems of high inner stress and incomplete development of the micro-cylinder hole array with a diameter of 30μm,the lithography process was optimized.The pre-baking temperature was increased via gradient heating and rose every 5℃ from 65℃ to 85℃ and then remained at 85℃ for 50 min–1 h.In addition,the full contact exposure was used.Finally,a multi-layer metal micro-structure with high precision and good quality of microelectroforming layer was fabricated using UV-LIGA overlay technology.

Design of multi-layered porous fibrous metals for optimal sound absorption in the low frequency range

We present a design method for calculating and optimizing sound absorption coefficient of multi-layered porous fibrous metals （PFM） in the low frequency range. PFM is simplified as an equivalent idealized sheet with all metallic fibers aligned in one direction and distributed in periodic hexagonal patterns. We use a phenomenological model in the literature to investigate the effects of pore geometrical parameters （fiber diameter and gap） on sound absorption performance. The sound absorption coefficient of multi- layered PFMs is calculated using impedance translation theorem, To demonstrate the validity of the present model, we compare the predicted results with the experimental data. With the average sound absorption （low frequency range） as the objective function and the fiber gaps as the design variables, an optimization method for multi-layered fibrous metals is proposed. A new fibrous layout with given porosity of multi-layered fibrous metals is suggested to achieve optimal low frequency sound absorption. The sound absorption coefficient of the optimal multi-layered fibrous metal is higher than the single- layered fibrous metal, and a significant effect of the fibrous material on sound absorption is found due to the surface Dorosity of the multi-layered fibrous.

Zincate mechanism on cast Al-Si alloy in non-cyanide multi-metal zincate solutions

Arrhenius formula was applied to calculate the apparent activation energy of zincate reaction. The standard electrode potential of all the metal coordinating ions and the order of galvanic couple of different metals in zincate solution were also calculated. Electrochemical behavior of zincate process was studied by Tafel polarization curves, E—t curves, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS). The results show that the apparent activation energy of zincate reaction in non-cyanide multi-metal zincate solution is smaller than that in simple zincate solution, and precipitation sequence of all the metals in zincate solution is Cu, Ni, Fe and Zn. Relationship between the potential at 30 s before zincate and coverage was attained according to the change of potential of zincate. EIS shows that inductive reactance is produced during zincate.

Multi-index analysis of the melting process of laterite metallized pellet

Herein, a multi-index analysis of the nickel content of an alloy, output rate of the alloy, nickel recovery rate, and iron recovery rate during the melting of laterite metallized pellets was performed. The thermodynamic reduction behavior of oxides such as NiO, FeO, Fe_3 O_4, and Cr_2 O_3 was studied using the FactSage software, which revealed that SiO_2 is not conducive to the reduction of iron oxides, whereas the addition of basic oxides such as CaO and MgO is beneficial for the reduction of iron oxides. On the basis of a comprehensive analysis to achieve greater nickel recovery and lower iron recovery rates, the optimum experimental parameters in the orthogonal experiment were A3 B1 C3(t = 30 min, C/O = 0.4, R = 1.2); the indicators wNi, φalloy, ηNi, and ηFe had values of 15.0 wt%, 12.1%, 44.9%, and 96.4%, respectively. In single-factor experiments, increasing basicity(R) substantially improved the separation effect in the low-basicity range 0.5 ≤ R ≤ 0.8 but not in the high-basicity range 0.8 ≤ R ≤ 1.2. Similar results were obtained for the effect of the C/O ratio. Moreover, the recovery rate of nickel increased with increasing recovery rate of iron.

Development of a biliary multi-hole self-expandable metallic stent for bile tract diseases: A case report

BACKGROUND Uncovered stents used for malignant obstructions in the biliary tree, especially in the hilar area, are prone to obstruction by tumor ingrowths. In comparison, however, covered stents may block bile duct branches and are at risk of migration. We have developed a multi-hole self-expandable metallic stent (MHSEMS), with a hole in each cell, to prevent the obstruction of bile duct branches. In addition, the holes may prevent migration due to small ingrowths by reducing the tension of the membrane. CASE SUMMARY MHSEMS were placed in five patients with a malignant obstruction and one with post-endoscopic sphincterotomy bleeding. Each MHSEMS was successfully deployed in all cases. Patients showed no complications. Two cases were reviewed. Case 1: A 74-year-old male presented with jaundice and was diagnosed with a sigmoid colon cancer and giant liver metastases in the right liver lobe. A MHSEMS was placed in the left bile duct. The jaundice improved and peroral cholangioscopy was performed. Case 2: A 90-year-old female was admitted to hospital for jaundice and diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma. A MHSEMS was placed in the left bile duct but after 8 months the stent became obstructed by tumor ingrowth. We treated the patient by ablation therapy. A silicone cover separated the internal bile duct from the surrounding tissue, protecting the latter from thermal injury during treatment by endobiliary ablation of the reobstruction. CONCLUSION A MHSEMS is a new choice of stent for biliary tract diseases.

基于多区多求解器的金属-介质复合目标电磁散射特性分析

在导弹类金属-介质复合目标电磁散射特性求解过程中,采用常规迭代求解方法存在难以收敛以及内迭代边界积分区域重复求解的问题。针对该问题,在传统有限元边界积分区域分解法(finite element boundary integral domain decomposition method,FE-BI-DDM)的基础上,采用了更为灵活的多区多求解器的方法(multi domain multi solver method,MDMSM)。该方法对导弹类金属-介质复合目标中难以收敛的金属区域,使用快速直接求逆的方法求解,由于可以使用独立的网格模型进行电磁建模,避免了内迭代部分的模型重复建立过程,从而大幅减少了整体模型求解时间。实验结果表明:所提方法可以在相同计算精度的条件下,以不过多增加内存空间为前提,大幅缩短了导弹类目标的金属-介质复合模型的电磁求解时间。该方法为开展导弹类目标特性分析提供了一条可行的技术途径。

Coupled edge plasmon modes of metal/dielectric multi-wedges

We present a metallic/dielectric multi-wedge model to investigate the coupled edge plasmon modes （CEPMs）, where all wedges have a common edge and the wave propagates along the edge direction. A general theoretical method valid to many practical structures is presented. The analytical dispersion relations of CEPMs in these structures are obtained and the CEPM properties are discussed with numerical results and the dispersion relations. For all structures mentioned in this paper, we find that the structures containing an even number of metallic wedges have four CEPMs and those with an odd-number of metallic wedges have two CEPMs. Further, the periodic structures containing any odd number of periods and any even number of periods possess their common CEPMs, respectively.

Purified oxygenand nitrogen-modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes as metal-free catalysts for selective olefin hydrogenation

Oxygen and nitrogen-functionalized carbon nanotubes （OCNTs and NCNTs） were applied as metal-free catalysts in selective olefin hydro- genation. A series of NCNTs was synthesized by NH3 post-treatment of OCNTs. Temperature-programmed desorption, N2 physisorption, Raman spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were employed to characterize the surface properties of OCNTs and NCNTs, aiming at a detailed analysis of the type and amount of oxygen- and nitrogen-containing groups as well as surface defects. The gas-phase treatments applied for oxygen and nitrogen functionalization at elevated temperatures up to 600 ℃ led to the increase of surface defects, but did not cause structural damages in the bulk. NCNTs showed a clearly higher activity than the pristine CNTs and OCNTs in the hydrogenation of 1,5-cyclooctadiene, and also the selectivity to cyclooctene was higher. The favorable catalytic properties are ascribed to the nitrogen-containing surface functional groups as well as surface defects related to nitrogen species. In contrast, oxygen-containing surface groups and the surface defects caused by oxygen species did not show clear contribution to the hydrogenation catalysis.

Dual-function protective layer for highly reversible Zn anode

The thermodynamic instability of zinc anodes in aqueous electrolytes leads to issues such as corrosion,hydrogen evolution reactions(HER), and dendrite growth, severely hindering the practical application of zinc-based aqueous energy storage devices. To address these challenges, this work proposes a dualfunction zinc anode protective layer, composed of Zn-Al-In layered double oxides(ILDO) by rationally designing Zn-Al layered double hydroxides(Zn-Al LDHs) for the first time. Differing from previous works on the LDHs coatings, firstly, the ILDO layer accelerates zinc-ion desolvation and also captures and anchors SO_(4)^(2-). Secondly, the in-situ formation of the Zn-In alloy phase effectively lowers the nucleation energy barrier, thereby regulating zinc nucleation. Consequently, the zinc anode with the ILDO protective layer demonstrates long-term stability exceeding 1900 h and low voltage hysteresis of 7.5 m V at 0.5 m A cm^(-2) and 0.5 m A h cm^(-2). Additionally, it significantly enhances the rate capability and cycling performance of Zn@ILDO//MnO_(2) full batteries and Zn@ILDO//activated carbon zinc-ion hybrid capacitors.This simple and effective dual-function protective layer strategy offers a promising approach for achieving high-performance zinc-ion batteries.

Influence of multi-deposition multi-annealing on time-dependent dielectric breakdown characteristics of PMOS with high-k/metal gate last process

A multi-deposition multi-annealing technique （MDMA） is introduced into the process of high-k/metal gate MOSFET for the gate last process to effectively reduce the gate leakage and improve the device＇s performance. In this paper, we systematically investigate the electrical parameters and the time-dependent dielectric breakdown （TDDB） characteristics of positive channel metal oxide semiconductor （PMOS） under different MDMA process conditions, including the depo- sition/annealing （D＆A） cycles, the D＆A time, and the total annealing time. The results show that the increases of the number of D＆A cycles （from 1 to 2） and D＆A time （from 15 s to 30 s） can contribute to the results that the gate leakage current decreases by about one order of magnitude and that the time to fail （TTF） at 63.2% increases by about several times. However, too many D＆A cycles （such as 4 cycles） make the equivalent oxide thickness （EOT） increase by about 1A and the TTF of PMOS worsen. Moreover, different D＆A times and numbers of D＆A cycles induce different breakdown mechanisms.

直接进样-全反射X射线荧光光谱快速测定饮用水微量元素

相比于复杂的富集程序,饮用水中由于金属元素含量甚微,急需一种快速,简单和可靠的检测方法。全反射X射线荧光光谱法(TXRF)是一种方便快捷、定量简单的微量多元素同步分析方法,该方法所需要的样品少,测量时间短,无需预处理可实现对样品的直接分析。以镓(Ga)为内标,采用直接进样-TXRF法,探究了快速测定多质量浓度梯度多元素金属溶液的可行性,并将该方法应用于低矿物质饮用水中进行微量元素分析。实验结果表明,TXRF能直接提取溶液中的Al、K、Ca、Mn、Fe、Co、Ni、Cu、Zn、Sr进行同步测量,但是多次试验发现,Al、K、Ca作为轻质元素由于回收率明显偏离标准值,难以实现准确定量,究其原因是基体效应较大或元素的灵敏度较低,而其他元素均满足定量要求。通过对不同浓度梯度的标准样品进行测量,发现当金属元素浓度分别处于40 mg·L^(-1)、4 mg·L^(-1)、0.4 mg·L^(-1)、40μg·L^(-1)水平时,Mn、Fe、Co、Ni、Cu、Zn、Sr元素均呈现出很好的准确度和精密度,回收率(RR)稳定在80%~112%,相对标准偏差(RSD)处于3.6%~10.5%,检出限(DL)处于0.001~0.07 mg·L^(-1)。随着浓度梯度的逐渐下降,各元素的准确度和精密度开始表现出不同程度的下降,当质量浓度处于本文试验最低水平4μg·L^(-1)时,大部分元素(Mn除外)的回收率和RSD均明显偏离标准值。还利用直接进样-TXRF法,在低、中、高三个不同加标水平下对饮用矿物质水进行加标回收试验,结果表明,样本中Mn、Fe、Co、Ni、Cu、Zn、Sr元素含量基本处于几十个μg·L^(-1)水平,平均加标回收率在90%~110%之间,平均RSD小于12%,满足微量测定要求。综上所述,多元素测试结果表明,TXRF在对元素的选择上更适宜原子序数(Z>20)的中等重元素,对于组分含量在十几个μg·L^(-1)以上的水质样品,无需经过复杂预处理,可直接实现快速准确定量分析,对于环境中的超痕量样品需要使用预浓缩技术以提高测量准确率。

钴矿是重要的战略性金属矿产资源之一,对其成矿作用(如构造与成矿的关系)进行深入的研究能为前期指导找矿提供理论依据。本文对中国东部吉林白山市三道沟镇三岔河村大横路Cu-Co矿开展了相关工作,包括野外构造解析、钻孔-岩芯资料分析、钻孔薄片综合矿物分析系统(TIMA)实验和区域相关岩石年代学等。构造解析显示大横路Cu-Co矿围岩变形包括层片交切、S_(1)面理和褶劈理等构造要素。钻孔-岩芯资料分析矿区发育大量F_(2)紧闭褶皱、逆冲断层及断层相关褶皱、倒转褶皱F_(2)等。钻孔、探槽薄片样品TIMA实验显示含Co流体大量富集于低角度逆冲断裂、倒转褶皱韧性剪切域和断层相关褶皱转折端处。这些工作显示走向为NE的低角度逆冲断裂及断层相关褶皱对大横路Cu-Co矿的富集起到关键的控制作用。相关年代学工作,结合前人研究及大量区域地质资料表明:(1)矿区内逆冲断层及褶皱等控矿构造要素为古元古代构造事件的产物;(2)中生代构造事件对成矿作用的制约(Cu-Co矿的再富集)可能来自于白垩纪大规模的伸展作用。
