Mg-doping effects on the electrochemical property of LiFePO4–Li3V2(PO4)3 composite materials, a mutual-doping system, are investigated. X-ray diffraction study indicates that Mg doping decreases the cell volume of LiFePO4 in the composite. The cyclic voltammograms reveal that the reversibility of the electrode reaction and the diffusion of lithium ion is enhanced by Mg doping. Mg doping also improves the conductivity and rate capacity of 7LiFePO4–Li3V2(PO4)3 composite material and decreases the polarization of the electrode reaction. The discharge capacity of the Mg-doped composite was 93 mAh?g?1 at the current density of 1,500 mA?g?1, and Mg-doped composite has better discharge performance than the original 7LiFePO4–Li3V2(PO4)3 composite at low temperature, too. At ?30 °C, the discharge capacity of Mg-doped LFVP is 89 mAh?g?1, higher than that of the original composite. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy study shows that Mg2+ doping could enhance the electrochemical activity of 7LiFePO4–Li3V2(PO4)3 composite. Mg doping has a positive influence on the electrochemical performance of the LiFePO4–Li3V2(PO4)3 composite material. 相似文献
Lauric acid (LA) impregnates in carbon nanotubes (CNTs), resulting in nano-encapsulated phase change materials (PCMs). TEM and DSC results both indicate that the filling of LA into CNTs is realized by the vacuum infiltration method. A further study of nano-encapsulated PCMs at the molecular level is investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. From the axial view of CNTs, LA molecules always keep a circular distribution inside CNTs with a radius of about 4.8 Å. The analysis on radial distribution function, the end-to-end distance and the torsion angle simultaneously verifies that the order degree of LA molecules is improved due to the nano-confined effect of CNTs. The diffusion coefficient of LA is enhanced in CNTs. The energy flux and thermal conductivity of LA molecules in CNTs are higher than those of pure LA at the same temperature. These results fully indicate the heat and mass transfer of LA in CNTs could be enhanced. The current research could contribute to a deep understanding nanoscale thermal science and to potential application in heat dissipation of nanodevices.
The development of high‐efficiency electrocatalysts for large‐scale water splitting is critical but also challenging. In this study, a hierarchical CoMoSx chalcogel was synthesized on a nickel foam (NF) through an in situ metathesis reaction and demonstrated excellent activity and stability in the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline media. The high catalytic activity could be ascribed to the abundant active sites/defects in the amorphous framework and promotion of activity through cobalt doping. Furthermore, the superhydrophilicity and superaerophobicity of micro‐/nanostructured CoMoSx/NF promoted mass transfer by facilitating access of electrolytes and ensuring fast release of gas bubbles. By employing CoMoSx/NF as bifunctional electrocatalysts, the overall water splitting device delivered a current density of 500 mA cm?2 at a low voltage of 1.89 V and maintained its activity without decay for 100 h. 相似文献
A novel zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF‐8) nanoparticles@polyphosphazene (PZN) core‐shell architecture was synthesized, and then, ZIF‐8@PZN and ammonium polyphosphate (APP) were applied for increasing the flame retardancy and mechanical property of epoxy resin (EP) through a cooperative effect. Herein, ZIF‐8 was used as the core; the shell of PZN was coated to ZIF‐8 nanoparticles via a polycondensation method. The well‐designed ZIF‐8@PZN displayed superior fire retardancy and smoke suppression effect. The synthesized ZIF‐8@PZN observably raised the flame retardancy of EP composites, which could be demonstrated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and a cone calorimeter test (CCT). The chemical structure of ZIF‐8@PZN was characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Compared with pure epoxy, with the incorporation of 3 wt% ZIF‐8@PZN and 18 wt% APP into the EP, along with 80.8%, 72.6%, and 64.7% decreased in the peak heat release rate (pHRR), the peak smoke production rate (pSPR), and the peak CO production rate (pCOPR), respectively. These suggested that ZIF‐8@PZN and APP generated an intumescent char layer, and ZIF‐8@PZN can strengthen the char layer, resulting in the enhancement in the flame resistance of EP. 相似文献
