Ionic liquid-based electrolyte with dual-functional LiDFOB additive toward high-performance LiMn<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript> batteries

Manganese oxide-based cathodes are one of the most promising lithium-ion battery (LIB) cathode materials due to their cost-effectiveness, high discharge voltage plateau (above 4.0 V vs. Li/Li⁺), superior rate capability, and environmental benignity. However, these batteries using conventional LiPF₆-based electrolytes suffer from Mn dissolution and poor cyclic capability at elevated temperature. In this paper, the ionic liquid (IL)-based electrolytes, consisting of 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfon)imidate (PYR_1,4-TFSI), propylene carbonate (PC), lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfon)imide (LiTFSI), and lithium oxalyldifluoroborate (LiDFOB) additive, were explored for improving the high temperature performance of the LiMn₂O₄ batteries. It was demonstrated that LiTFSI-ILs/PC electrolyte associated with LiDFOB addition possessed less Mn dissolution and Al corrosion at the elevated temperature in LiMn₂O₄/Li batteries. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy implied that this kind of electrolyte also contributed to the formation of a highly stable solid electrolyte interface (SEI), which was in accordance with the polarization measurement and the Li deposition morphology of the symmetric lithium metal cell, thus beneficial for improving the cycling performance of the LiMn₂O₄ batteries at the elevated temperature. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy implied that the cells using this kind of electrolyte exhibited better interfacial stability, which was further verified by the polarization measurement and the Li deposition morphology of the symmetric lithium metal cell, thus beneficial for improving the cycling performance of the LiMn₂O₄ batteries at the elevated temperature. These unique characteristics would endow this kind of electrolyte a very promising candidate for the manganese oxide-based batteries.     

THE SHEAR LAG EFFECT OF BOX BEAMS WITH VARYING LATERAL LOADING LOCATIONS 1)

对箱梁各翼板(顶板、悬臂板、底板)分设不同剪力滞广义纵向位移,其横向分布均取二次抛物线形式,并引入载荷横向位置参数η,以分析载荷横向变位对剪力滞效应的影响.运用能量变分原理,建立剪力滞控制微分方程,求解了简支梁和悬臂梁在均布载荷作用下的控制微分方程的解.算例分析表明:载荷横向变位改变直接承受载荷的翼板的正负剪力滞特性,对非直接承载翼板只改变其应力幅度;箱梁横向框架效应对直接承载翼板纵向应力的贡献远远大于剪切变形.与块体有限元分析结果较吻合,表明该算法能较准确分析载荷横向变位作用下箱梁剪力滞的变化规律.     

New Strategy Targeting Well‐Defined Polymethylene‐block‐Polystyrene Copolymers: The Combination of Living Polymerization of Ylides and Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization

Well‐defined polymethylene‐block‐polystyrene (PM‐b‐PS) diblock copolymers were synthesized via a combination of living polymerization of ylides and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of styrene. A series of hydroxyl‐terminated polymethylenes (PM‐OHs) with different molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution were prepared using living polymerization of ylides following efficient oxidation in a quantitive functionality. Then, the macroinitiators (PM‐MIs ( = 1 900–15 000; PDI = 1.12–1.23)) transformed from PM‐OHs in ≈ 100% conversion initiated ATRPs of styrene to construct PM‐b‐PS copolymers. The GPC traces indicated the successful extension of PS segment ( of PM‐b‐PS = 5 000–41 800; PDI = 1.08–1.23). Such copolymers were characterized by ¹H NMR and DSC.

     

Corrosion resistance and blood compatibility of lanthanum ion implanted pure iron by MEVVA

Pure iron is a potential material applying for coronary artery stents based on its biocorrodible and nontoxic properties. However, the degradation characteristics of pure iron in vivo could reduce the mechanical stability of iron stents prematurely. The purpose of this work was to implant the lanthanum ion into pure iron specimens by metal vapor vacuum arc (MEVVA) source at an extracted voltage of 40 kV to improve its corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. The implanted fluence was up to 5 × 10¹⁷ ions/cm². The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to characterize the chemical state and depth profiles of La, Fe and O elements. The results showed lanthanum existed in the +3 oxidation state in the surface layer, most of the oxygen combined with lanthanum and form a layer of oxides. The lanthanum ion implantation layer could effectively hold back iron ions into the immersed solution and obviously improved the corrosion resistance of pure iron in simulated body fluids (SBF) solution by the electrochemical measurements and static immersion tests. The systematic evaluation of blood compatibility, including in vitro platelets adhesion, prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT), indicated that the number of platelets adhesion, activation, aggregation and pseudopodium on the surface of the La-implanted samples were remarkably decreased compared with pure iron and 316L stainless steel, the PT and TT were almost the same as the original plasma. It was obviously showed that lanthanum ion implantation could effectively improve the corrosion resistance and blood compatibility of pure iron.     

Bulk Modulus and Electronic Band Structure of ZnGa2X4(X=S,Se): a First-Principles Study

First-principles local density functional calculations are presented for the compounds ZnGa₂X₄ (X=S,Se). We investigate the bulk moduli and electronic band structures in a defect chalcopyrite structure. The lattice constants and internal parameters are optimized. The electronic structures are analysed with the help of total and partial density of states. The relation between the cohesive energy and the unit cell volume is obtained by fully relaxed structures. We derive the bulk modulus of ZnGa₂X₄ by fitting the Birch-Murnaghan's equation of state. The extended Cohen's empirical formula agrees well with our ab initio results.
