A study on structure-performance relationship of overcharged 18650-size Li4Ti5O12/LiMn2O4 battery

The electrochemical properties and thermal generation behavior of 18650 Li₄Ti₅O₁₂/LiMn₂O₄ batteries were tested before and after overcharge. The experimental results showed that after overcharge, the specific capacity decreased obviously. The higher the current density was, the more obvious the capacity decreased. For instance, the overcharged battery had almost no capacity when the current density increased to 5C. At the same time, the overcharged battery presented a much more apparent thermal runaway trend compared to the normal battery. After measuring the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy of the batteries and characterizing the crystal structure/nanostructure of the electrode materials, these phenomena could be attributed to the following two reasons: (1) the decomposition of the electrolyte arisen from the overcharge process resulted in increased internal resistance; (2) the thermal runaway due to the increased internal resistance resulted in the damage to crystal structure/nanostructure and aggregation of the electrode materials, thus leading to the secondary decrease in capacity.     

Auto‐Oxidative Coupling of Glycine Derivatives

The unprecedented title reaction between glycine derivatives and indoles, as well as the auto‐oxidative Povarov/aromatization tandem reaction of glycine derivatives with olefins are described. The reactions were performed in the absence of redox‐active catalysts and chemical oxidants under mild reaction conditions. Only simple organic solvents and air (or O₂) were required.

Alumina nanofibers obtained via electrospinning of pseudo-boehmite sol/PVP solution

Alumina nanofibers were fabricated by calcination of the polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)/pseudo-boehmite nanocomposite precursor fibers formed by electrospinning PVP/ethanol solution of dispersed pseudo-boehmite nanoparticles with and without additive of silica. The evolution of the phase, mechanical property and morphological features of the calcined fibers were studied and the effect of adding SiO₂ on the phase transformation of alumina was discussed. Adding SiO₂ can retard the phase transformation of γ-Al₂O₃ to α-Al₂O₃ and therefore inhibit the growth of alumina grains during calcination. Upon calcining the precursor fibers with 4 wt% SiO₂ additive at 1,300 °C, continuous alumina nanofibers with diameter ranging from 300 to 800 nm were obtained. These continuous nanofibers exhibited good flexibility and could be very promising for applications in filtration and catalyst support.     

Highly efficient elimination of thorium(IV) from aqueous solution using poly(cyclotriphosphazene-co-melamine) microspheres

Highly crosslinked organic–inorganic hybrid polymer poly(cyclotriphosphazene-co-melamine) microspheres (PZM) were synthesized by a simple method. The microspheres was characterized by FTIR, SEM and EDX. It was applied to eliminate thorium(IV) from aqueous solution under various conditions, i.e., pH, initial concentration, dosage and contact time. The experimental data were well-imitated via the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and its adsorption processes comply with the Langmuir isotherm model. Adsorption thermodynamic studies demonstrated that the adsorption process, in essence, was spontaneous and endothermic. Furthermore, the maximum experimental adsorption capacity was 98.6 mg g^?1 for initial thorium(IV) concentration 50 mg L^?1. When pH?=?0.0, the thorium(IV) removal efficiency reached at 76.9%, which indicates that the adsorbent can also was used in a peracid environment. Adsorption behavior of thorium(IV) onto the microspheres were weakly affected via temperature, implying that adsorption would be done at room temperature.

     

Two-Coordinate Copper(I)/NHC Complexes: Dual Emission Properties and Ultralong Room-Temperature Phosphorescence

As a kind of photoluminescent material, Cu^I complexes have many advantages such as adjustable emission, variable structures, and low cost, attracting attention in many fields. In this work, two novel two-coordinate Cu^I-N-heterocyclic carbene complexes were synthesized, and they exhibit unique dual emission properties, fluorescence and phosphorescence. The crystal structure, packing mode, and photophysical properties under different conditions were systematically studied, proving the emissive mechanism to be the locally excited state of the carbazole group. Based on this mechanism, ultralong room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) with a lifetime of 140 ms is achieved by selective deuteration of the carbazole group. These results deepen the understanding of the luminescence mechanism and design strategy for two-coordinate Cu^I complexes, and prove their potential in applications as ultralong RTP materials.     

基于手机光线传感器为检测器的简易光度计的自组装设计

By using light sensors of the cellphone, we build a simple photometer which can be used in quantitative analysis experiments. We have performed 5 replicate measurements of iron with phenanthroline to verify reproducibility and stability. We find the absorbance of the sample has a good linear relationship with the concentrations of iron with a R² value around 0.999 and the RSD of 2.81%. The result is 4.94 μg·mL^-1 with spectrophotometer and 5.11 μg·mL^-1 with our photometer. The photometer is simple, convenient, accurate and realistic by using a phone as detector, which can replace the traditional spectrophotometer in the laboratory class. The students can enhance their understanding of the structure and principle of spectrophotometer by the DIY photometer experiment.
