锂离子电池正极界面修饰用电解液添加剂

The activities in progress in our laboratory for the development of batteries and fuel cells for portable electronics and hybrid car applications are reviewed and discussed. In the case of lithium batteries, the research has been mainly focused on the characterization of new electrode and electrolyte materials. Results related to disordered carbon anodes and improved, solvent-free, as well as gel-type, polymer electrolytes are particularly stressed.

Combination of Organic and Inorganic Electrolytes for Composite Membranes Toward Applicable Solid Lithium Batteries

To meet the demand for long-range electric vehicles with high-energy-density batteries,the solid-state batteries(SSBs)have attracted ever-increasing attention due to their enormous potential in affording the energy density greater than 400 W·h/kg.As the key materials,the solid electrolytes can be classified as inorganic electrolyte and organic electrolyte.The former usually has high ionic conductivity,good stability and mechanical properties,whereas being heavy and brittle.The latter is usually flexible,light and easy to mass produce,nevertheless has poor ionic conductivity and stability.Thus,the combination of the organic and the inorganic electrolytes for the composite membranes has become the inevitable trend to achieve the high energy density and safety of lithium batteries.From the perspective of practical application,this paper discusses how to construct the ideal organic-inorganic composite solid electrolyte with low areal specific resistance,thin texture,wide electrochemical window and high safety for applicable SSBs.Furthermore,the critical challenges and future development directions are prospected for the composite solid electrolytes.     

Interaction forces in thin liquid films stabilized by hydrophobically modified inulin polymeric surfactant. 3. Influence of electrolyte type on emulsion films

The interaction forces in emulsion films stabilized using hydrophobically modified inulin (INUTEC SP1) were investigated as a function of concentrations of electrolytes of different types (NaCl, Na2SO4, and MgSO4). At a constant disjoining pressure of 36 kPa, a constant temperature of 22 degrees C, and a film radius of 100 microm, the film thickness, hw, decreased with an increase in electrolyte concentration until a critical value, Cel,cr, was reached above which hw remained constant. Cel,cr decreased with an increase in electrolyte valency (Cel,cr = 5 x 10(-2) mol.dm(-3) for NaCl and 1 x 10(-2) mol.dm(-3) for Na2SO4 and MgSO4). The reduction in film thickness below Cel,cr could be accounted for by the compression of the electrical double layer. The Pi-hw isotherms below Cel,cr could be fitted using the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory (constant charge and constant potential cases were considered). At a certain pressure, the film jumped to a Newton black film. The pressure at the jump decreased with an increase in electrolyte valency as a result of the reduction of the electrostatic barrier. At electrolyte (NaCl, Na2SO4, or MgSO4) concentrations higher than Cel,cr, the jump occurred at a low pressure that was independent of the electrolyte type. The thickness of the Newton black film was independent of both the concentration and nature of the electrolytes studied. The results show clearly that the polyfructose loops and tails remain strongly hydrated both in water and in high concentrations of electrolytes of different types, and these results explain the high INUTEC SP1 emulsion stability against coalescence of emulsions prepared under such conditions.     

Structural studies of pressure-crystallized polymers. I. Heat treatment of oriented polymers under high pressure

A convenient pressure apparatus was designed for crystallization of high polymers under hydrostatic pressure up to 5000 atm. Melt crystallization as well as heat treatment under various temperatures and pressures was carried out on several polymers, and the effects of pressure on the molecular and crystal structures of the samples are discussed. Heat treatment of syndiotactic polypropylene under high pressure yields a new crystal modification rather than the previously known helix and planar zigzag modifications. Of the three modifications of poly(vinylidene fluoride), modification III was found as a high-pressure phase for specimens in the unoriented state, while modification I was obtained as the most stable one on heat treatment of oriented specimens under high pressure. Heat treatment under high pressure converts ordinary isotactic poly-4-methylpentene-1 with a lower density than the noncrystalline value, to a new crystal modification with higher density. As is reasonable, the dense modification is stable in a high-pressure range. For these three cases, the orientation of specimens was found to remain unchanged during the transitions, which must therefore occur in the solid state.
