锡基复合氧化物的高能球磨法制备及其电化学性能

随着锂离子电池的发展,人们越来越多地要求可充锂离子电池电极材料具有更高的容量.许多研究小组正致力于寻找和开发能够取代现有碳材料(理论最大比容量为372 mAh·g-1)的新型负极材料[1].锡氧化物基材料由于其高的储锂容量和低的锂离子脱嵌平台电压倍受人们关注,有望作为新一代锂离子电池负极材料[2～5].通过在线X-射线研究,Courtney等[4,5]提出了这类材料作为锂离子电池负极材料的两步反应机理:在首次放电过程中,锡氧化物被不可逆地还原成金属锡,同时生成氧化锂;随后,金属锡与锂发生可逆的合金化与去合金化反应,用反应式表示如下:

采用湿化学方法合成了具有钙钛矿结构的CaSnO3,将其作为锂离子电池的负极活性物质,研究了其电化学性能。结果表明,湿化学方法制备的锡酸钙,粒度分布集中、平均粒径在500nm左右,在0￣1.0V之间以0.1C倍率充放电时,其可逆容量达到469mAh·g-1,而且循环性能良好。经80次循环后的容量衰减率只有0.57%。从首次放电容量和可逆容量来看,锡酸钙的储锂机制与锡基氧化物材料相似,即:首先是结构的还原并形成金属锡;然后金属锡与锂发生可逆的合金化与去合金化过程。锡酸钙的可逆容量、循环性能都比文献报道的块状锡氧化物或者是无定型锡基复合氧化物好,这说明钙钛矿结构和钙离子的存在可能对改善锡基负极材料的性能是有益的。

锂离子电池的合金电极材料的失效研究

采用电镀技术在铜箔上电镀金属锡, 并对其充放电过程中的厚度和结构的变化进行了观察和分析. 锡电极经过热处理后, 活性物质锡与基体铜相互扩散生成中间合金Cu6Sn5. 在合金电极嵌锂过程中, 由于有机电解液的分解, 形成了大量的锂氧化物, 这是合金电极体积膨胀的最主要的原因之一. 锂脱嵌后, 部分锂以Li2SnCu的形态保留在合金中, 造成了合金电极首次充放电的不可逆容量损失. 一些新型电解质的应用可能有助于降低合金电极材料体积的膨胀并提高其循环寿命.     

锂离子电池锡-金属-碳复合负极材料

石墨作为锂离子电池的负极材料已经使用了很长时间。但由于其嵌锂容量低,已不能满足动力电池快速发展的需求。而锡可以与锂形成合金,有可能取代石墨成为下一代锂离子电池负极材料。但是单纯的金属锡在电池循环过程中发生巨大的体积变化,容易导致电极材料的粉化。而碳材料具有较高的导电性,良好的机械性能和储锂性能。为了充分发挥金属锡和碳材料的优势,锡-碳(Sn-C)复合材料得到了广泛研究。本文详细介绍了无定型碳、石墨(G)、石墨烯(GP)、碳纳米管(CNT)、碳纳米纤维(CNF)等碳材料作为惰性的导电基体与锡形成的二元复合物,阐述了锡与其它金属(M)形成的碳基三元、多元复合物的结构和性能。通过总结近些年对锡碳复合物结构与性能的研究,相信多元复合和多种结构的应用是提高锡-碳复合负极材料的关键。其中,以Sn-Co-C为基础的多元复合负极材料最有可能走向市场应用。     

以不同二氧化锰为原料制备的锂锰氧化物的性能研究

用几种典型的化学方法合成了8种CMD材料,并以其作锰源,制得锂锰氧化物.通过X射线衍射技术对CMD和锂锰氧化物的结构进行了分析.电化学实验结果显示,除了CMD的结构外,它的组成和其中的碱金属离子含量对锂锰氧化物的性能同样具有重大的影响.即使是属于相同类型的CMD材料,由于合成方法不同,其它离子的引入使材料的局部或微观结构发生变化,最终得到的锂锰氧化物的电化学行为出现差异.δ-MnO₂虽然具有大隧道结构,但其结构的热不稳定性并不适于作为高温合成锂锰氧化物的锰源.

一步法制备铁氧化物/氮改性氧化石墨/碳纳米管异质结及其用于催化活化过一硫酸氢钾降解亚甲基蓝模型染料（英文）

随着较差的生物相容性和更高毒性有机染料的应用,如酚类化合物和抗生素,水污染和食品污染变得极其严重.这不仅危害人类健康,而且严重污染自然环境.过硫酸盐去污技术利用自由基活化降解过程,成为处理一系列污染物非常有效的方法;然而设计具有多功能性的高性能催化剂仍然面临着巨大的挑战.因此,本文借鉴铁基材料、氮改性石墨和碳纳米管独特的物化性质,以尿素、铁盐、氧化石墨、碳纳米管为原材料,通过一步水热法成功制备了三维多功能铁氧化物/氮改性氧化石墨/碳纳米管异质结,用作活化过一硫酸氢钾复合盐以降解有机模型污染物亚甲基甲蓝(MB),研究了高级氧化法(AOPs)作用机理和优化反应条件.XRD、红外光谱、SEM和XPS结果表明,铁氧化物通过物理静电作用力和化学键结合力已经被牢牢固定在了氮修饰的氧化石墨结构框架内.当加入了碳纳米管之后,它会与石墨形成类似于互穿聚合物网络的结构,从而具有三维材料的优点,且提升电子转移电导率,使得催化剂的结构和性能有了很大的改善.此外,优化了降解系统、PMS负载量、初始有机污染物浓度和催化剂用量等因素.结果表明,处于催化剂/PMS系统时,亚甲基蓝可以在12min之内有效地完全降解,可归结于碳、氮以及主要活性物质铁氧化物之间的协同作用.基于数据拟合分析,污染物氧化降解系统与拟一阶动力学相符合,其速率常数约为0.33 min~(-1).淬灭实验证明,硫酸根自由基和羟基自由基是主要的反应活性物种.这种同时富含铁/氮分级的多孔碳骨架异质结物质不仅可用作过渡金属催化剂,而且为制备其他异质结提供参考,以用于超级电容器、储能材料、电催化剂等领域

Carbon nanotube reinforced biobased poly(urethane urea) covalent adaptable network composite

A solvent-free approach was developed to incorporate carbon nanotube (CNT) into castor oil derived poly(urethane urea) (PPU) covalent adaptable network (CAN) based on dynamic piperidine-urea bonds to fabricate CNT reinforced PPU composites. The approach includes two steps i.e., pre-polymerization of castor with isophorone diisocyanate in flask and subsequent chain-extension with 1,3-bis(4-piperidinyl)propane (PIP) in the presence of CNT in an internal mixer. The effect on CNT content of the morphology, mechanical property, stress relaxation, and reprocessability of the PPU/CNT composites was investigated in detail. The results demonstrated that CNT dispersed well in the PPU networks due to the applied strong shear force which facilitated the dispersion of CNT in the PPU matrix before cross-linking. The well-dispersed CNT reinforced the mechanical properties of PPU significantly and the Young's modulus (E) of the composites were enhanced significantly when the content of CNT was ≥6 wt% due to the formation of CNT network in the PPU matrix. When the content of CNT was 10 wt%, the E of PPU-10%CNT was 927.59 ± 149.05 MPa, which was improved by ~60% compared to PPU. The reprocessability of the PPU network was remained although the stress relaxation rate was reduced with incorporation and increasing content of CNT. In addition, the PPU/CNT composites could be degraded chemically to recycle CNT through reaction of the dynamic piperidine-urea bonds with additional PIP.     

Ultrahigh Molecular mass Polyethylene/ Carbon Nanotube CompositesCrystallization and melting properties

Ultrahigh molecular mass polyethylene (UHMMPE) is filled with carbon nano-tubes (CNTs) by solution in the presence of maleic anhydride grafted styrene-(ethylene-co-butylene)-styrene copolymer (MA-SEBS) as a compatibilizer. The UHMMPE/CNT composites crystallized from melt were prepared at a cooling rate of 20°C min^-1. The melting and crystallization behaviors of UHMMPE/ CNT composites were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. The results showed that onset melting temperature (T _m) and degree of crystallinity (X _c) of UHMMPE/CNT composites crystallized from solution are higher than those from melt due to the larger crystalline lamellar thickness. The onset crystallization temperature (T _c) of UHMMPE/CNT composites tends to shift to higher temperature region with increasing CNT content in the composites. Tm and Tc of UHMMPE phase in UHMMPE/CNT composites decrease with the addition of MA-SEBS. Moreover, the crystallization rate of UHMMPE phase in UHMMPE/CNT composite is increased due to the introduction of CNTs. MA-SEBS acts as compatilizer, enhances the dispersion of CNTs in the UHMMPE matrix. Thereby, the crystallization rate of UHMMPE phase in UHMMPE/CNT composite is further increased with the addition of MA-SEBS. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Electrooxidation of ethanol on carbon nanotubes–nickel nanoparticles composites in alkaline media

In this report, the preparation of carbon nanotubes–Ni nanoparticles composites (CNT–Ni) is presented. The morphology and elemental composition of CNT–Ni composites were examined by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The electrochemical behaviour of carbon nanotubes–Ni nanoparticles composites in an aqueous solutions of alkali and alkaline solutions of ethanol has been studied by linear sweep voltammetry. The peak on the potentiodynamic curve for CNT–Ni composite electrode in alkaline solutions of ethanol is observed which is ascribed to the ethanol oxidation in alkaline medium. The results obtained are discussed from the point of view of employment of the CNT–Ni composites for the catalytic electrodes of fuel cells.     

Synthesis and physicochemical properties of calcium hydroxylapatite/multi-walled carbon nanotubes nanocomposites

Calcium hydroxylapatite/carbon nanotubes (HA/CNT) composites with various CNT contents have been synthesized by coprecipitation from aqueous solutions in the CaCl₂-(NH₄)₂HPO₄-NH₃-CNT-H₂O system (25°C) under conditions modeling the interaction between HA (Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂), which is an inorganic component of osseous tissue, and multi-walled CNTs. The empirical formula of the composites is Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂ · nCNT · 6H₂O, where n = 0.2?C5.0. The synthesis products have been identified by the solubility (Tananaev??s residual concentration) method, pH measurements, chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis, and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The effect of the CNT concentration in aqueous solution on the composition of the HA/CNT composites and on the crystallographic and morphological characteristics of HA nanocrystals in HA/CNT has been investigated.     

Shear modulated percolation in carbon nanotube composites

A novel time-dependent percolation transition has been observed in sheared carbon nanotube (CNT) composites. At a fixed CNT filler loading, the electrical conductivities of CNT composites can change abruptly as much as 8 orders of magnitude as the shear processing time increases. Microstructure characterization shows that the CNTs have aligned along the shear flow direction, which leads to the dramatic increase of the percolation threshold and thereby the dramatic decreases of the electrical conductivities. Our results highlight the great importance of understanding the response of CNT dispersion states to the processing conditions.     

Preparation and electromagnetic interference shielding characteristics of novel carbon‐nanotube/siloxane/poly‐(urea urethane) nanocomposites

Poly(urea urethane) (PUU) with a poly(dimethylsiloxane) soft segment was synthesized. Different types of conductive fillers—carbon nanotube (CNT), silver‐coated carbon nanotube (CNT–Ag), and nickel‐coated carbon nanotube (CNT–Ni)—were blended with PUU to form partially conductive polymer composites. The results showed that highly conductive metals could improve the conductivity of CNTs significantly. When the filler contents were 3, 4, and 5 parts per hundred parts of resin (phr), the PUU/CNT composites possessed electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (SE) at 8.5, 28.4, and 26.0 dB as the electromagnetic wave frequencies were 12.3, 16.2, and 15.9 GHz, respectively. SE of the composites that contained CNT–Ni and CNT–Ag increased with the filler loading. At the same modified‐CNT loading, the CNT–Ni‐filled composites had a higher SE than those filled with CNT–Ag. Tensile stresses ranged from 5.7 to 15.6 MPa (a 177.3% increase) when the CNT concentration reached 8 phr. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 43: 345–358, 2005

Comparison of the properties of waterborne polyurethane/multiwalled carbon nanotube and acid‐treated multiwalled carbon nanotube composites prepared by in situ polymerization

A series of waterborne polyurethane (WBPU)/multiwalled carbon nanotube (CNT) and WBPU/nitric acid treated multiwalled carbon nanotube (A‐CNT) composites were prepared by in situ polymerization in an aqueous medium. The optimum nitric acid treatment time was about 0.5 h. The effects of the CNT and A‐CNT contents on the dynamic mechanical thermal properties, mechanical properties, hardness, electrical conductivity, and antistatic properties of the two kinds of composites were compared. The tensile strength and modulus, the glass‐transition temperatures of the soft and hard segments (T_gs and T_gh, respectively), and ΔT_g (T_gh − T_gs) of WBPU for both composites increased with increasing CNT and A‐CNT contents. However, these properties of the WBPU/A‐CNT composites were higher than those of the WBPU/CNT composites with the same CNT content. The electrical conductivities of the WBPU/CNT1.5 and WBPU/A‐CNT1.5 composites containing 1.5 wt % CNTs (8.0 × 10⁻⁴ and 1.1 × 10⁻³ S/cm) were nearly 8 and 9 orders of magnitude higher than that of WBPU (2.5 × 10⁻¹² S/cm), respectively. The half‐life of the electrostatic charge (τ_1/2) values of the WBPU/CNT0.1 and WBPU/A‐CNT0.1 composites containing 0.1 wt % CNTs were below 10 s, and the composites had good antistatic properties. From these results, A‐CNT was found to be a better reinforcer than CNT. These results suggest that WBPU/A‐CNT composites prepared by in situ polymerization have high potential as new materials for waterborne coatings with good physical, antistatic, and conductive properties. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
