纳米MgO掺杂改善LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2正极材料

将氢氧化物共沉淀法制备的(Ni_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3)（OH）₂在500℃热处理5 h得到具有尖晶石结构、纳米尺寸的氧化物M₃O₄(M=Ni_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3).将其与LiOH及不同量的纳米MgO混合均匀,并在850℃热处理24 h制备了Li(Ni_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3)_1/xMg_xO₂（x=0,0.01,0.02,0.03,0.04,0.05）正极村料.随着Mg掺杂量的增大,正极材料的晶胞参数增大;少量的Mg掺杂增大了锂离子的扩散系数,而过度掺杂却使锂离子扩散系数有所降低,其中Li(Ni_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3)_0.98Mg_0.02O₂的锂离子扩散系数最大,其脱出和嵌入扩散系数分别为D_Li-dein=29.20×10^-11cm²·S^-1和D_Li-in=4.760×10^-11cm²·s^-1;其以3C倍率充放电的平均放电比容量为139.3 mAh·g^-1,比未掺杂的原粉约高9.5 mAh·g^-1;另外其循环性能也得到了大幅度改善.     

Gas-phase chemistry of nitrogen trifluoride NF3: structure and stability of its M–NF3 (M=H, Li, Na, K) complexes

The stationary points characterizing the potential energy profiles of the complex processes of the M⁺(M=H, Li, Na, K) and NF₃ were investigated by QCISD and B3LYP in conjunction with the 6-311+G(2d,2p) basis set. The optimized geometries and NBO analysis indicate that the complexes of M⁺(M=Li, Na, K) and NF₃ exist as ion-dipole molecules. But for H⁺ complexes, there are two stable isomers NF₃H⁺ and NF₂⁺–HF. The interaction distances of isomers follow the sequence H⁺< Li⁺< Na⁺< K⁺. The calculated affinity energies of the most stable isomers of H⁺, Li⁺, Na⁺, and K⁺ complexes exceed 20.1 kJ/mol, and these values suggest that the M⁺–NF₃ (M=H, Li, Na, K) complexes could be observed as stable species in gas phase, which supports Fujii's proposal that Li⁺ ion attachment mass spectrometry can serve as a conceivable technique to quantify the emissions of the NF₃.     

Spectroscopic, mass spectrometry, and semiempirical investigations of a new 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl ester of Monensin A and its complexes with monovalent cations

A new 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl ester of Monensin A (MON7) has been synthesized and its capability of complex formation with Li⁺, Na⁺, and K⁺ cations has been studied by ESI MS, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, FT-IR, and PM5 semiempirical methods. ESI mass spectrometry indicates that MON7 forms complexes with Li⁺, Na⁺, and K⁺ of exclusively 1:1 stoichiometry which are stable up to cv = 70 V. The formation of complexes between MON7 and Na⁺ cations is strongly favored. Starting from about cv = 90 V fragmentation of the respective complexes is observed, primarily characterized by several dehydration steps. The structures of the MON7 complexes with Li⁺, Na⁺, and K⁺ cations are stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds in which the OH groups are always involved. The structures are visualized and discussed in detail. It has been proved that the formation of a pseudo crown ring structure formed by MON7 is preferred in complexes with Na⁺ cations.     

Simultaneous separation of common mono- and divalent cations on a zirconium-modified silica gel column by ion chromatography with non-suppressed conductimetric detection and tartaric acid–15-crown-5 as eluent

The application of laboratory-made zirconium-modified silica gels (Zr-silicas) as cation-exchange stationary phases to ion chromatography with conductimetric detection (IC–CD) for common mono- and divalent cations (Li⁺, Na⁺, NH₄⁺, K⁺, Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺) was carried out. Zr-silicas were prepared by the reaction of the silanol group on the surface of silica gel with zirconium tetrabutoxide (Zr(OCH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃)₄) in ethanol. Zr-silica adsorbed on 10 mg zirconium g⁻¹ silica gel was a suitable cation-exchange stationary phase in IC–CD for the separation of these mono- and divalent cations. Excellent simultaneous separation and highly sensitive detection for these cations were achieved in 10 min by IC–CD using a Zr-silica column (150×4.6 mm I.D.) and 10 mM tartaric acid containing 10 mM 15-crown-5 (1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxacyclopentadecane) as the eluent. The proposed IC–CD method was successfully applied to the determination of major mono- and divalent cations in natural water samples.     

Vibrational frequencies and infrared intensities of acetonitrile coordinated with metal cations: an ab initio study

Vibrational frequencies and infrared intensities have been calculated at the 6-31G and 6-31G^** levels for acetonitrile and for the complexes of acetonitrile with Li⁺ and Na⁺ cations. The changes in the infrared characteristics from an isolated acetonitrile to acetonitrile coordinated with metal cations (Li⁺ and Na⁺) have been evaluated. The ab initio calculations predict an essential increase of the intensities of the stretching CN, C-C and deformation CH₃, CCN vibrations in the complexes of acetonitrile with Li⁺ and Na⁺ cations.     

Ion chromatographic separation of alkali metal and ammonium cations on a C18 reversed-phase column

The separation of alkali metal (Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺ and Cs⁺) and ammonium cations on a C₁₈ reversed-phase column using three anionic surfactants [sodium 1-eicosyl sulphate, sodium dodecyl benzenesulphonate and sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)] is described. Two methods were examined: (a) “permanent” coating, with the use of a C₁₈ reversed-phase column previously coated with the surfactants; and (b) dynamic coating, with addition of the surfactants to the mobile phase. With method (a) the separation of the six cations was achieved with SDS. However, the retention times gradually decreased owing to dissolution of the SDS coating. Good separation was obtained with method (b), where 10 mM HNO₃ containing 0.1 mM SDS was used as the mobile phase with conductivity detection, and it was applied satisfactorily to real samples. The effect of system peaks on determination is also discussed.     

ESI MS, spectroscopic and PM5 semiempirical studies of Colchicine complexes with lithium, sodium and potassium salts

The colchicine complexes with Li⁺, Na⁺ and K⁺ cations have been synthesized and studied by ESI MS, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, FT-IR and PM5 semiempirical methods. It has been shown that colchicine forms stable complexes of 1:1 stoichiometry with monovalent metal cations. For Li⁺ cations also formation of the 2:1 stoichiometry complexes has been detected. The most stable structures of the complexes are those in which the acetamide groups are involved in the coordination process. The structures of the colchicine complexes with Li⁺, Na⁺ and K⁺ cations are visualized and discussed in details.     

Simultaneous separation of common mono- and divalent cations on silica gel modified with aluminium by non-suppressed ion chromatography with conductimetric detection and nitric acid–15-crown-5 as eluent

The modification of silica gel with aluminium by a coating method was very effective for the preparation of silica-based stationary phases which acted as a cation exchanger under strongly acidic conditions. However, the separation of common mono- and divalent cations (Li⁺, Na⁺, NH₄⁺, K⁺, Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺) on an aluminium-adsorbing silica (Al-Silica) column was moderate by a conductimetric detection ion chromatography (IC) with strongly acidic eluents. Then, the addition of various crown ethers (12-crown-4, 15-crown-5 and 18-crown-6) in acidic eluent was carried out. As a result, it was found that 15-crown-5 was most effective for the improvement of peak resolution. Excellent separation of these cations was achieved in 20 min by elution with 2 mM nitric acid–2 mM 15-crown-5. The proposed IC was successfully applied to the determination of major cations in various natural waters.     

邻甲氧基羰基苄氧基取代杯[4]芳烃衍生物的合成及其性能研究

杯芳烃是继冠醚、环糊精之后的第三代主体分子[1].据文献[2,3]报道,在杯[4]芳烃下沿酚氧原子上连接乙酸酯得到的四取代衍生物对Na+有很高的选择性,核磁与晶体结构研究均证实这是由于羧酸酯的羰基和酚氧基参与了对Na+的配位,而且配位基团所形成的包络空间大小与钠离子相匹配.一般认为,随着包络空间改变,对金属离子的识别作用会有所变化[4].但目前对这方面的工作并没有给予更多的重视.我们发现,用2-溴甲基苯甲酸甲酯与杯[4]芳烃反应,得到了一种新的四取代杯[4]芳烃衍生物[2]萃取研究结果表明,该化合物对钾离子有较好的选择性.此外,在合成该衍生物的过程中,还得到了另一新的二取代衍生物(3).     

On the affinities of ammonia and water for Li, Na and K

The affinities of ammonia for Na⁺ and K⁺, recently determined experimentally, have been computed by the ab initio SCF method using ended polarized gaussian basis sets and shown to be satisfactory Furthermore, the corresponding values computed at the same level of accuracy for the three cations Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺ and the two ligands NH₃ and H₂O are shown to yield the order Li⁺ > Na⁺ > K⁺ for each ligand and NH₃ > H₂O for each ion, in agreement with experiment. An analysis of the factors involved in the binding provides a consistent rationalization of these regularities and of some observed correlations.     

离子选择性微电极用于原位测量离子扩散系数

扩散系数是描述物质扩散过程的重要参数,而用膜池法、放射性或荧光示踪法、分子动力学模拟等现有方法无法原位进行生物体系中离子扩散系数的实时测量。 本文利用离子选择性微电极响应迅速、高选择性、高灵敏度、高空间分辨率、对样品无污染等优势,通过分析单个植物细胞原生质体在培养液中破裂时所形成的离子浓度脉冲信号,建立了相应的点源扩散模型,推导出了描述离子浓度随时间变化的理论公式,并通过该公式对实验测得的脉冲信号进行拟合,得到了离子的扩散系数,从而建立了一种用离子选择性微电极原位测定离子扩散系数的新方法,并将其应用于芦荟细胞原生质体破裂时离子扩散系数的测定,得到了Ca²⁺、Na⁺和K⁺的扩散系数分别为(6.51±0.12)×10^-6、(2.93±0.15)×10^-5和(3.03±0.35)×10^-5 cm²/s。 对比发现,拟合得到的Ca²⁺、Na⁺和K⁺扩散系数均略高于已报道的数值(纯水中),这一现象的产生可能是因为原生质体是在低渗液中吸水膨胀,细胞膜内压力升高产生内外压力差,该压力差会加速细胞破裂时离子的扩散。 这一方法对生物体系无干扰,较好地解决了生物体系中离子扩散系数原位实时测量的难题。     

Ion-exchange properties of hypercrosslinked polystyrene impregnated with methyl orange

A novel bipolar stationary phase (HCPS–MO) was prepared by impregnation of hypercrosslinked polystyrene (HCPS) with methyl orange (MO; 4-dimethylamino-4′-sulfoazobenzene) and its ion-exchange properties were studied. Simultaneous separation of cations and anions on HCPS–MO is possible, although it behaves preferentially as a cation-exchanger. Unusual selectivity of HCPS-MO for alkali and alkaline-earth metal cations: Na⁺+K⁺+4⁺+ and Mg²⁺2+2+2+ was observed. The effect of temperature on retention of alkali and alkaline-earth metal cations was studied. Separation of Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺, NH₄⁺, Cs⁺, Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺ on HCPS–MO with diluted cerium(III) nitrate solution as an eluent in single run is presented.     

Raman spectroscopic study of the conformational change of 12-crown-4 due to cation capture

Raman spectra of the Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, NH⁺₄, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺, Ba²⁺, Pb²⁺ complexes of 12-crown-4 and also 12-crown-4 in various states are observed. The spectra of 12-crown-4 change remarkably by complex formation with cations. Normal vibration calculations of various conformations of 12-crown-4 are carried out. On the basis of the observed spectra and the results of the calculations, the conformation of 12-crown-4 in the Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, NH⁺₄, Mg²⁺ complexes is found to have approximate D_2d symmetry, while that in the Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺, Ba²⁺ complexes is found to have approximate C_2V symmetry.     

PEO基聚合物电解质及其锂硫电池性能研究

锂硫电池由于具有高的理论比能量引起了广泛关注,然而传统液态锂硫电池由于多硫化物的“穿梭效应”以及安全问题而限制了其应用,全固态锂硫电池可显著提高电池安全性能并有望解决多硫化物的穿梭问题. 本文采用传统的溶液浇铸法制备了具有不同的[EO]/[Li⁺]的PEO-LiTFSI聚合物电解质,并将其应用于锂硫电池. 研究发现,虽然[EO]/[Li⁺] = 8的聚合物电解质具有更高的离子电导率,但是[EO]/[Li⁺] = 20的电解质与金属锂负极间的界面阻抗更低,界面稳定性更好. Li|PEO-LiTFSI([EO]/[Li⁺]=20)|Li对称电池在60 °C,电流密度为0.1 mA·cm^-2时可稳定循环超过300 h,而Li|PEO-LiTFSI ([EO]/[Li⁺]=8)|Li对称电池循环75 h就出现了短路现象. 基于PEO-LiTFSI([EO]/[Li⁺]=20)电解质的锂硫电池首圈放电比容量为934 mAh·g^-1,循环16圈后放电比容量为917 mAh·g^-1以上. 而基于PEO-LiTFSI ([EO]/[Li⁺]=8)电解质的锂硫电池,由于与锂负极较低的界面稳定性不能够正常循环,首圈就出现了严重过充现象.     

新型类沸石金属-有机骨架材料用于天然气中CO2的分离

研究了在usf型类沸石金属-有机骨架材料(usf-ZMOF)中不同金属离子(Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺, Cs⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺, Al³⁺)对天然气分离(以CO₂/CH₄, CO₂/H₂, CO₂/N₂为研究对象)的不同影响. 结果表明, 此类材料对于3种体系的分离选择性均高于现有材料. 其中性能最好的是Al-usf-ZMOF, 其对CO₂/CH₄, CO₂/N₂和CO₂/H₂的分离选择性分别为290, 1700和16800. 同时, 对于经不同的离子交换后的usf-ZMOF, 吸附选择性随着离子电荷值的增加而增大; 对于同一主族的离子, 选择性随着原子序数的增加而减小. 而上述现象的产生是由阳离子和CO₂间的强静电作用所致.     

一种新型的碳复合钼掺杂的钒氧化物纳米线钠离子电池正极材料

近年来,由于锂资源逐渐紧缺而导致其成本增加,锂离子电池发展受到了限制. 作为一个有潜力的替代者,有着相似电化学机制且成本较低的钠离子电池则发展迅速. 但由于钠离子与锂离子相较有着更大半径,在钠离子脱嵌过程中,对大多数电极材料的晶体结构破坏严重. 因此,开发新型电极材料对钠离子电池的进一步发展尤为重要. 其中,层状钒氧化物作为正极材料被广泛研究. 在这项工作中,作者基于钒氧化物,引入钼元素并与碳复合,首次设计合成了一种新型的碳复合钼掺杂的钒氧化物纳米线电极材料,并获得了优良的电化学性能（在50 mA•g^-1的电流密度下,最高放电比容量达135.9 mAh•g^-1,并在循环75次后仍有82.6mAh•g^-1的可逆容量,容量保持率高达71.8%;在1000mA•g^-1的高电流密度下循环并回到50mA•g^-1后,可逆放电比容量仍能回复至111.5mAh•g^-1）. 本工作的研究结果证明,这种具有超大层间距的新型碳复合钼掺杂的钒氧化物纳米线是一种非常有潜力的储钠材料,并且我们的工作为钠离子电池的进一步发展提供了一定的理论基础.     

Ion chromatography of organic-rich natural waters from peatlands II. Na, NH4, K, Mg and Ca

Organic rich natural waters from peat bogs in continental (Switzerland) and maritime (Shetland Islands, Scotland) environments were analysed for Na⁺, NH₄⁺, K⁺, Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺ using ion chromatography. These cations were determined simultaneously in surface and pore water samples from the continental bogs using a 250-μl injection loop in an isocratic separation. Using this loop, detection limits of the order of 1 ng/g were achieved. An organics-removal cartridge (Dionex OnGuard P) was used to remove humic materials. Analyses of deionized water filtered through these cartridges showed acceptably low blank values (e.g., ca. 5 ng/g) and appeared to have no significant effect on the measured cation concentration. For the maritime bog waters, the low concentrations of NH₄⁺ (ca. 1 μg/g) compared with Na⁺ (ca. 100 μg/g) required improved peak separation. This was accomplished using a gradient separation beginning with 40 mM HCl—1 mM , -2,3-diaminopropionic acid monochloride (DAP) and switching to 40 mM HCl-12 mM DAP after 2 min. Using a 25 μl injection loop, Na⁺, NH₄⁺, K⁺, Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺ were determined simultaneously in less than 25 min. In this instance, even with Na⁺/NH₄⁺ > 100, there was no interference from Na⁺ in the determination of NH₄⁺ (baseline separated).     

Synthesis and Electrochemical Studies of Carbon-modified LiNiPO4 as the Cathode Material of Li-ion Batteries

Well-crystallized olivine LiNiPO₄ and carbon-modified LiNiPO₄(LiNiPO₄/C) were synthesized by a combined solvothermal and solid state reaction method using water-benzyl alcohol two-phase solvent. The structure and morphology of the prepared LiNiPO₄ were systematically characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The LiNiPO₄ particles are up to around 2 μm in diameter while the particle size of LiNiPO₄/C is about 100—200 nm. At a current rate of 0.05 C(1.00 C=167 mA/g, corresponding to one Li⁺ intercalation/deintercalation), LiNiPO₄ and LiNiPO₄/C presented a high initial specific capacity of 157 and 220 mA·h/g, respectively. The capacity of LiNiPO₄/C is 72% larger than that of LiNiPO₄ at 0.1 C. The LiNiPO₄/C cathode exhibits a superior electrochemical performance in comparison with LiNiPO₄, revealing that carbon modifying is an effective method to improve the ionic diffusion and electronic conductivity of cathode material LiNiPO₄. Furthermore, lithium ion diffusion coefficients of LiNiPO₄ and LiNiPO₄/C are 1.80×10^-15 and 1.91×10^-14 cm²/s, respectively, calculated via the data from electrochemical impedance spectra.     

Separation and detection of common mono- and divalent cations by ion chromatography with an ODS column and conductivity/UV detection

The retention and detection behavior of common mono- and divalent cations (M⁺, alkali metal (Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺, Cs⁺) and ammonium ions (NH₄⁺); M²⁺, alkaline earth metal ions (Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺, Ba²⁺) was examined using an ODS column (150×4.6 mm I.D.) and conductivity (CD)/UV detection. The results obtained were as follows: (1) for M⁺, the mobile phase, 0.1 mM sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)+10 mM HNO₃ and indirect CD detection were effective. (2) Addition of Ce(III) in the mobile phase accelerated the elution of both M⁺ and M²⁺. The separation of above 10 cations on an ODS column was achieved for the first time without any coelution of cations and disturbance by system peak. Addition of higher SDS resulted in good separation of M⁺ and M²⁺ with longer retention times. CD detection was possible for M⁺ and M²⁺ and UV detection for M²⁺. (3) For M²⁺, the mobile phase, 0.8 mM Ce(III)+0.1 mM SDS+1 mM HNO₃ and indirect UV detection were effective. The IC methods were applied to real samples.
