A carbon–LiFePO<Subscript>4</Subscript> nanocomposite as high-performance cathode material for lithium-ion batteries

A cathode material of an electrically conducting carbon–LiFePO₄ nanocomposite is synthesized by wet ball milling and spray drying of precursor powders prior to a solid-state reaction. The structural characterization shows that the composite is composed of LiFePO₄ crystals and 4.8 wt.% amorphous carbon. Galvanostatic charge/discharge measurements indicate that the composite exhibits a superior high energy and high cycling stability. This composite delivers a discharge capacity of 159.1 mAh g⁻¹ at 0.1 C, 150.8 mAh g⁻¹ at 1 C, and 140.1 mAh g⁻¹ at 2 C rate. The capacity retention of 99% is achieved after 200 cycles at 2 C. The 18,650 cylindrical batteries are assembled using the composite as cathode materials and demonstrate the capacity of 1,400 mAh and the capacity retention of 97% after 100 cycles at 1 C. These results reveal that the as-prepared LiFePO₄–carbon composite is one of the promising cathode materials for high-performance, advanced lithium-ion batteries directed to the hybrid electric vehicle and pure electric vehicle markets.     

AlF<Subscript>3</Subscript> coating of LiNi<Subscript>0.5</Subscript>Mn<Subscript>1.5</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript> for high-performance Li-ion batteries

AlF₃-coating is attempted to improve the performance of LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. The prepared powders are characterized by scanning electron microscope, powder X-ray diffraction, charge/discharge, and impedance. The coated LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ samples show higher discharge capacity, better rate capability, and higher capacity retention than the uncoated samples. Among the coated samples, 1.0 mol% AlF₃-coated sample shows highest capacity after charge–discharged at 30 mA/g for 3 cycles, but 4.0 mol% coated sample exhibits the highest capacity and cycling stability when cycled at high rate of 150 and 300 mA/g. The 40th cycle discharge capacity at 300 mA/g current still remains 114.8 mAh/g for 4.0 mol% AlF₃-coated LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄, while only 84.3 mAh/g for the uncoated sample.     

Fabrication of concave microlens arrays using controllable dielectrophoretic force in template holes

This Letter presents a method for fabricating concave microlens arrays of UV-curable polymer by using the dielectrophoresis (DEP) force. The DEP force, generated by a voltage between the patterned conductive template and substrate, acting on the polymer-air interface, can drive the dielectric liquid polymer into the template holes and change the shape of the polymer-air interface. The upper polymer surface of fabricated microlens is super smooth, which can reduce optical noise. The upper surface geometry is measured approximately as parabolic in general, which can lead to a negligible spherical aberration, compared to spherical surfaces.

受驱动的关联发射激光:双模亚泊松光

如果在关联发射的基础之上再引入原子相干，这样的系统可产生明亮的双模亚泊松光。运用Ｓｃｕｌｙ－Ｌａｍｂ理论计算ＭａｎｄｅｌＱ因子，一方面，当相对相位和相对振幅的量子噪声被抑制到真空噪声水平时，平均模呈现亚泊松光子分布；或者当平均相位和平均振幅的量子噪声被抑制到真空噪声水平时，相对模呈现亚泊松光子分布，ＭａｎｄｅｌＱ因子的最佳值均可达到－０．５。在上述两种情况下，每个关联发射激光（ＣＥＬ）模呈现亚泊松光子分布，ＭａｎｄｅｌＱ因子的最佳值均可达到－０．２５。

In vivo mechanical study of helical cardiac pacing electrode interacting with canine myocardium

Cardiac pacing is a medical device to help human to overcome arrhythmia and to recover the regular beats of heart. A helical configuration of electrode tip is a new type of cardiac pacing lead distal tip. The helical electrode attaches itself to the desired site of heart by screwing its helical tip into the myocardium. In vivo experiments on anesthetized dogs were carried out to measure the acute interactions between helical electrode and myocardium during screw-in and pull-out processes. These data would be helpful for electrode tip design and electrode/myocardium adherence safety evaluation. They also provide reliability data for clinical site choice of human heart to implant and to fix the pacing lead. A special design of the helical tip using strain gauges is instrumented for the measurement of the screw-in and pull-out forces. We obtained the data of screw-in torques and pull-out forces for five different types of helical electrodes at nine designed sites on ten canine hearts. The results indicate that the screw-in torques increased steplike while the torque–time curves presente saw-tooth fashion. The maximum torque has a range of 0.3–1.9 N mm. Obvious differences are observed for different types of helical tips and for different test sites. Large pull-out forces are frequently obtained at epicardium of left ventricle and right ventricle lateral wall, and the forces obtained at right ventricle apex and outflow tract of right ventricle are normally small. The differences in pull-out forces are dictated by the geometrical configuration of helix and regional structures of heart muscle.
