预嵌锂用穿孔集流体对锂离子电容器电化学性能的影响

将石墨涂覆于传统铜箔(CCC)与穿孔铜箔(PCC)集流体表面,通过内部短路的方式进行预嵌锂处理,再以商业化的活性炭及预锂化的石墨分别为正、负极材料组装成锂离子电容器(LIC)。以PCC为集流体的LIC在0.1和2.0 A?g~(-1)的电流密度下,能量密度分别为118.2和51.7 Wh?kg~(-1),并且在0.5 A?g~(-1)的电流密度下循环1000次后的能量密度保持率为90%;以CCC为集流体的LIC在0.1和2.0 A?g~(-1)的电流密度下的能量密度分别为125.5和43.3 Wh?kg~(-1),在同等电流密度下2.0-3.8 V之间循环1000次后的能量密度保持率仅为73.2%。进一步研究表明,石墨采用PCC在预嵌锂的过程中避免了金属锂沉积,生成了均一且稳定的固体电解质膜(SEI),有效防止充放电过程中SEI膨胀,活性物质与集流体间粘结力降低,活性物质脱落等现象发生。因此,LIC通过PCC完成预嵌锂后的自放电及内阻更小,具有更佳的倍率性能和循环性能。

Electrospray ionization with aluminum foil: A versatile mass spectrometric technique

In this study, we developed a novel electrospray ionization (ESI) technique based on household aluminum foil (Al foil) and demonstated the desirable features and applications of this technique. Al foil can be readily cut and folded into desired configuration for effective ionization and for holding sample solution in bulk to allowing acquisition of durable ion signals. The present technique was demonstrated to be applicable in analysis of a wide variety of samples, ranging from pure chemical and biological compounds, e.g., organic compounds and proteins, to complex samples in liquid, semi-solid, and solid states, e.g., beverages, skincare cream, and herbal medicines. The inert, hydrophobic and impermeable surface of Al foil allows convenient and effective on-target extraction of solid samples and on-target sample clean-up, i.e., removal of salts and detergents from proteins and peptides, extending ESI device from usually only for sample loading and ionization to including sample processing. Moreover, Al foil is an excellent heat-conductor and highly heat-tolerant, permitting direct monitoring of thermal reactions, e.g., thermal denaturation of proteins. Overall, the present study showed that Al-foil ESI could be an economical and versatile method that allows a wide range of applications.     

High sensitive electrolytical conductivity measurements of irradiated polymer films of 1μm thickness measured by a modified experimental set-up

The interaction of heavy ions with solids produces a narrow radial core of primary damage. The actual nature of the damage and the mechanism of its formation is not yet fully understood.

The technique of the electrochemical etching of irradiated samples is an useful method to investigate these structures of the track cores. The transversale etching rate as a function of the radius, derived from the time-dependence of the radius of the etching pore, can be interpreted as the corresponding magnitude of the degree of the damage within the track core.

To carry through measurements of smallest radii of etching pores, their very high electric resistance respectively, a sophisticated experimental set-up is required.

An advanced set-up is performed, which enables, by application of a combined d.c.-a.c.-method, to measure the resistance of the sample during the whole etching process, associated with the origin of pore and its growth up to radii of 10 nm and more.     

Element segregation on the surfaces of pure aluminum foils

The surface segregation trend of trace elements in pure aluminum foils was investigated by density functional theory. The model of nine-layer Al(1 0 0) slab substituted partially by trace element atoms was proposed for calculating surface segregation energy. The calculating results show that (i) B, Mg, Si, Ga, Ge, Y, In, Sn, Sb, Pb and Bi exhibit negative segregation energy and possibly move to the surface, while Be, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zr exhibit positive segregation energies and migrated into the bulk; (ii) the segregation energy was found to be related with the covalent radius, the relaxed position at the surface of the substituting atom and the surface energy; (iii) the segregation behavior of trace element generates lots of defects and dislocation, which can increase the initial pitting nucleation sites in the surface of aluminum foils; (iv) the impurity atom concentration was tested with Pb-doped surfaces, the calculated negative segregation energies in all coverage increases rapidly with the Pb coverage. These conclusions are helpful for designing of the chemical composition and to advance the tunnel etching of aluminum foils.     

Evaluation of carbon stripper foils produced by a nitrogen ion beam sputtering method

Carbon stripper foils having thicknesses in the range of 5–40 μg/cm² have been prepared by a nitrogen ion beam sputtering method and their lifetimes have been tested in the Van de Graaff accelerator facility with 3.2 MeV, Ne⁺ ions. The foils of 21 μg/cm² thickness had the longest mean lifetime of 1350.0 mC/cm² (irradiation dose of 8.4×10¹⁸ atoms/cm²) which was 50 times longer than that of commercial foils. However, foils with other thicknesses had extremely short lifetimes similar to commercial foils. The nitrogen content of the foils of both long and short lifetimes has been determined using elastic scattering of 3 MeV α-particles.     

Size effects on tensile and fatigue behaviour of polycrystalline metal foils at the micrometer scale

Tensile and fatigue properties of as-rolled and annealed polycrystalline Cu foils with different thicknesses at the micrometer scale were investigated. Uniaxial tensile testing results showed that with decreasing foil thickness the uniform elongation decreases for both as-rolled and annealed foils, whereas the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength increase for as-rolled foils, but decrease for the annealed foils. For both the as-rolled or annealed foils, bending fatigue resistance decreases with decreasing the foil thickness. Deformation and fatigue damage behaviour of the free-standing foils were characterised as a function of foil thickness. In addition, the fatigue strength of various small-scale Cu foils was compared to understand the physical mechanisms of size effects on mechanical properties of the metallic material at micrometer scales.     

Preparation and characterization of slice-like Cu2(OH)3NO3 superhydrophobic structure on copper foil

Superhydrophobic structure was prepared on copper foil via a facile solution-immersion method. Thus slice-like Cu₂(OH)₃NO₃ crystal was prepared on the surface of the copper foil by sequential immersing in an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide and cupric nitrate. And the superhydrophobic structure was obtained by modifying the slice-like Cu₂(OH)₃NO₃ crystal with 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane (FAS-17). The morphologies, chemical compositions and states, and hydrophobicity of the surface-modifying films on the copper foil substrates were analyzed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and water contact angle measurement. Moreover, the thermal stability of the slice-like structure was also evaluated using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). It was found that roughening of the copper foil surface helped to increase the hydrophobicity to some extent, but no superhydrophobicity was obtained unless the slice-like Cu₂(OH)₃NO₃ crystal formed on the Cu substrate was modified with 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane. Besides, the superhydrophobicity of the FAS-17-modified slice-like Cu₂(OH)₃NO₃ structure was closely related to the surface morphology. And this hydrophobic structure retained good superhydrophobic stability at elevated temperature and in long-term storage as well, which should be critical to the application of Cu-matrix materials in engineering.
