Material innovation on high‐performance Na‐ion cathodes and the corresponding understanding of structural chemistry still remain a challenge. Herein, we report a new concept of high‐entropy strategy to design layered oxide cathodes for Na‐ion batteries. An example of layered O3‐type NaNi0.12Cu0.12Mg0.12Fe0.15Co0.15Mn0.1Ti0.1Sn0.1Sb0.04O2 has been demonstrated, which exhibits the longer cycling stability (ca. 83 % of capacity retention after 500 cycles) and the outstanding rate capability (ca. 80 % of capacity retention at the rate of 5.0 C). A highly reversible phase‐transition behavior between O3 and P3 structures occurs during the charge‐discharge process, and importantly, this behavior is delayed with more than 60 % of the total capacity being stored in O3‐type region. Possible mechanism can be attributed to the multiple transition‐metal components in this high‐entropy material which can accommodate the changes of local interactions during Na+ (de)intercalation. This strategy opens new insights into the development of advanced cathode materials. 相似文献
A new electrospinning process was developed for preparing TiO2 nanofibers using a water-soluble Ti-precursor, [bis(kappa1O-hydroxo)(bis(kappa2O,O′-lactato)titanium(IV)] commonly known as titanium(IV) bis (ammonium lactato) dihydroxide (TiBALDH). The importance of the study is justified by the fact that Ti-precursors used for electrospinning, sol–gel, hydrothermal and other fiber synthesis processes are mostly non-water soluble. Accordingly, anatase TiO2 nanofibers of diameter between 20 and 140 nm were synthesized by electrospinning and annealing. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and different concentrations of TiBALDH were dissolved in a mixture of water, ethyl alcohol and acetic acid to optimize the electrospinning conditions. The thermal decomposition and fragmentation of PVP, TiBALDH and the fibers with 50% mass fraction of TiBALDH were studied by TGA-MS measurements. The fibers were then annealed at 1 °C min?1 until 600 °C. The TiO2 fibers were characterized using SEM–EDX, FTIR and XRD
The synthesis and structure of a giant 102‐silver‐atom nanocluster (NC) 1 is presented. X‐ray structural analysis reveals that 1 features a multi‐shelled metallic core of Ag6@Ag24@Ag60@Ag12. An octahedral Ag6 core is encaged by a truncated octahedral Ag24 shell. The Ag24 shell is composed of a hitherto unknown sodalite‐type silver orthophosphate cluster (SOC) {(Ag3PO4)8}, reminiscent of the Ag3PO4 photocatalyst. The SOC is capped by six interstitial sulfur atoms, giving a unique anionic cluster [Ag6@{(Ag3PO4)8}S6]6?, which functions as an intricate polyhedral template with abundant surface O and S atoms guiding the formation of a rare rhombicosidodecahedral Ag60 shell. An array of 6 linear Ag2 staples further surround this Ag60 shell. [Ag6@{(Ag3PO4)8}S6]6? is an unusual Ag‐based templating anion to induce the assembly of a SOC within silver NC. This finding provides molecular models for bulk Ag3PO4, and offers a fresh template strategy for the synthesis of silver NCs with high symmetry. 相似文献
In quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), the background field removal is an essential data acquisition step because it has a significant effect on the restoration quality by generating a harmonic incompatibility in the measured local field data. Even though the sparsity based first generation harmonic incompatibility removal (1GHIRE) model has achieved the performance gain over the traditional approaches, the 1GHIRE model has to be further improved as there is a basis mismatch underlying in numerically solving Poisson’s equation for the background removal. In this paper, we propose the second generation harmonic incompatibility removal (2GHIRE) model to reduce a basis mismatch, inspired by the balanced approach in the tight frame based image restoration. Experimental results shows the superiority of the proposed 2GHIRE model both in the restoration qualities and the computational efficiency. 相似文献
