Module-Designed Carbon-Coated Separators for High-Loading,High-Sulfur-Utilization Cathodes in Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Lithium–sulfur batteries have great potential as next-generation energy-storage devices because of their high theoretical charge-storage capacity and the low cost of the sulfur cathode. To accelerate the development of lithium–sulfur technology, it is necessary to address the intrinsic material and extrinsic technological challenges brought about by the insulating active solid-state materials and the soluble active liquid-state materials. Herein, we report a systematic investigation of module-designed carbon-coated separators, where the carbon coating layer on the polypropylene membrane decreases the irreversible loss of dissolved polysulfides and increases the reaction kinetics of the high-loading sulfur cathode. Eight different conductive carbon coatings were considered to investigate how the materials’ characteristics contribute to the lithium–sulfur cell’s cathode performance. The cell with a nonporous-carbon-coated separator delivered an optimized peak capacity of 1112 mA∙h g⁻¹ at a cycling rate of C/10 and retained a high reversible capacity of 710 mA∙h g⁻¹ after 200 cycles under lean-electrolyte conditions. Moreover, we demonstrate the practical high specific capacity of the cathode and its commercial potential, achieving high sulfur loading and content of 4.0 mg cm⁻² and 70 wt%, respectively, and attaining high areal and gravimetric capacities of 4.45 mA∙h cm⁻² and 778 mA∙h g⁻¹, respectively.

The Applications of Order Reduction Methods in Nonlinear Dynamic Systems

Two different order reduction methods of the deterministic and stochastic systems are discussed in this paper. First, the transient proper orthogonal decomposition (T-POD) method is introduced based on the high-dimensional nonlinear dynamic system. The optimal order reduction conditions of the T-POD method are provided by analyzing the rotor-bearing system with pedestal looseness fault at both ends. The efficiency of the T-POD method is verified via comparing with the results of the original system. Second, the polynomial dimensional decomposition (PDD) method is applied to the 2 DOFs spring system considering the uncertain stiffness to study the amplitude-frequency response. The numerical results obtained by the PDD method agree well with the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) method. The results of the PDD method can approximate to MCS better with the increasing of the polynomial order. Meanwhile, the Uniform-Legendre polynomials can eliminate perturbation of the PDD method to a certain extent via comparing it with the Gaussian-Hermite polynomials.

Temperature‐Induced Transformation from Large Compound Vesicles to Worm‐like Aggregates by ABC Triblock Copolymer

Two triblock polymers, tetraaniline‐block‐poly(N‐isopropyl acrylamide)‐block‐poly(hydroxyethyl acrylate) (TA‐b‐PNIPAM‐b‐PHEA) and TA‐b‐PHEA‐b‐PNIPAM, were synthesized with unambiguous structure by a two step method. The difference of these two diblock polymers is the connection order of carboxyl group to block, e.g., carboxyl group to PNIPAM block for PNIPAM‐b‐PHEA and to PHEA block for PHEA‐b‐PNIPAM. Secondly, block tetraaniline was linked to the diblock polymer through amidation to yield the corresponding triblock copolymer. Both of them have almost the identical chemical compositions. The only difference is the connection order of each block in the triblock polymers. When they were self‐assembled at 45°C in a suitable solution, both of their aggregates have spherical shape with slight defects on their surface with the average diameter of about 400 nm. However, when their aggregate dispersion was cooled down to 20°C, only TA‐b‐PHEA‐b‐PNIPAM's morphology changed, forming worm‐like aggregates with the diameter of about 100–200 nm transformed from spherical aggregates. Both amphiphilic property and position of each block in this triblock copolymer are very essential for this morphology transformation. Since the worm‐like aggregates presented here by our group have hollow structure inside, its controlled release properties for doxorubicin were evaluated. Drug release experiment indicated that along with the temperature changes, the rearrangement of the intermediate layer structure caused morphology change in aggregate, thus accelerating the speed of drug release.

Chromo-chemodosimetric detection for Fe2+ by Fenton reagent-induced chromophore-decolorizing of halogenated phenolsulfonphthalein derivatives

A commercially-available sulfonphthalein derivative was demonstrated to be a chemodosimeter for Fe²⁺ and its sensing behavior was further investigated by UV-vis spectroscopy in aqueous media under the optimum conditions. In the presence of chlorophenol red (CPR) and H₂O₂, the absorption maximum at 435 nm decreased upon addition of Fe²⁺, resulting in a significant color change of the CPR solution from yellow to colorless. The chemosensor system did not show significant responses to a series of other metal ions including Al³⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Hg²⁺, Mn²⁺, Co²⁺, Fe³⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, La³⁺, Ce⁴⁺, Th⁴⁺, Pd²⁺, Pb²⁺, Sb³⁺, Cr³⁺, Au³⁺, Ag⁺, Nd³⁺, Sm³⁺, alkali and alkaline earth metal cations, allowing for highly selective naked-eye detection of Fe²⁺. Quantitative analysis was carried out kinetically for practicable the Fe²⁺ assay when either fixed time method or the initial rate method was applied. When the detecting time was set, the decrease of absorbance signal was linear with Fe²⁺ concentration in the range of 0 to 7.50 × 10^?5 mol L^?1 and the regression equation was ΔA = 0.00759 + 0.00593C _Fe with a correlation coefficient r = 0.9953. The chemodosimetric system has employed an irreversible Fenton reagent-promoted oxidation of the CPR free chromophore and the hydroxyl radicals were generated in the presence of both Fe²⁺ and hydrogen peroxide. The mechanistic interpretation of the signaling process was partially confirmed by the radical scavenging experiment and the FT-IR analysis of the intermediates formed at different reaction periods.     

Easy deposition of Ag onto polystyrene beads for developing surface-enhanced-Raman-scattering-based molecular sensors

We describe a very simple electroless plating method that can be used to prepare Ag-coated polystyrene beads. Robust Ag nanostructures are reproducibly fabricated by soaking polystyrene beads in ethanolic solutions of AgNO(3) and butylamine. When the molar ratio of butylamine to AgNO(3) is far below 1.0, distinct nanosized Ag particles are formed on the polystyrene beads, but by increasing the amount of butylamine, network-like Ag nanostructures are formed that possess very broad UV/vis absorption characteristics extending from the near-UV to near-infrared regions. In conformity with the UV/vis absorption characteristics, the Ag-deposited polystyrene beads were highly efficient surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates, with an enhancement factor estimated using 4-aminobenzenethiol (4-ABT) as a model adsorbate to be larger than 1.1x10(6). On the basis of the nature of the SERS peaks of 4-ABT, those Ag-deposited polystyrene beads were confirmed, after attaching biotin groups over 4-ABT, to selectively recognize streptavidin molecules down to concentrations of 10(-11) g mL(-1) (i.e., approximately 0.2 pM). Since a number of different molecules can be used as SERS-marker molecules (such as 4-ABT), multiple bioassays are readily accomplished via SERS after attaching appropriate host or guest molecules onto them.
