Three‐Dimensional Multilayer Assemblies of MoS2/Reduced Graphene Oxide for High‐Performance Lithium Ion Batteries

Three‐dimensional (3D) multilayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂)/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanocomposites are prepared by a solution‐processed self‐assembly based on the interaction using different sizes of MoS₂ and GO nanosheets followed by in situ chemical reduction. 3D multilayer assemblies with MoS₂ wrapped by large RGO nanosheets and good interface are observed by transmission electron microscopy. The interaction of Na⁺ ions with oxygen‐containing groups of GO is also investigated. The measurement of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) shows that MoS₂/RGO anode nanocomposite with a weight ratio of MoS₂ to GO of 3:1 exhibits an excellent rate performance of 750 mAh g^?1 at 3 A g^?1 outperforming many previous studies and a high reversible capacity up to ≈1180 mAh g^?1 after 80 cycles at 100 mA g^?1. Good rate performance and high capacity of MoS₂/RGO with 3D unique layered‐structures are attributed to the combined effects of continuous conductive networks of RGO, good interface facilitating charge transfer, and strong RGO sheets preventing the volume expansion. Results indicate that 3D multilayer MoS₂/RGO prepared by a facile solution‐processed assembly can be developed to be an excellent nanoarchitecture for high‐performance LIBs.

The Variation of Composition of Resols Under Different Reaction Conditions

The multi-hydroxymethyl structure of resol makes it suitable for connecting two or more polyacrylamide chains as a crosslinker in oil recovery applications, but control of the structure and composition of the resol, whether in practice or theory, is still a controversial problem. In the present research, a series of resol prepolymers synthesized with different amounts and types of catalysts, formaldehyde to phenol molar ratio, reaction temperature and charging steps were characterized by high-performance liquid chromatography. It is found that the compositions of the resols barely changed with almost all the varying conditions, but the contents of each component were greatly affected by the variation of reaction conditions. Finally, the best conditions for preparing resol crosslinker were obtained.     

Crystal packing in the structures of diethanolamine derivatives

Four distinct hydrogen‐bonding topologies were observed in the structures of six diethanolamine ligands. These compounds are (1R*,2R*)‐2‐[(2‐hydroxyethyl)(methyl)amino]‐1,2‐diphenylethanol, C₁₇H₂₁NO₂, (I), 1‐[(2S)‐2‐(hydroxydiphenylmethyl)pyrrolidin‐1‐yl]‐2‐methylpropan‐2‐ol, C₂₁H₂₇NO₂, (II), 2‐[(2‐hydroxyethyl)(methyl)amino]‐1,1‐diphenylethanol, C₁₇H₂₁NO₂, (III), 1‐{(2‐hydroxy‐2‐methylpropyl)[(1S)‐1‐phenylethyl]amino}‐2‐methylpropan‐2‐ol, C₁₆H₂₇NO₂, (IV), 1‐{[(2R)‐2‐hydroxy‐2‐phenylethyl][(1S)‐1‐phenylethyl]amino}‐2‐methylpropan‐2‐ol, C₂₀H₂₇NO₂, (V), and (1R*,2S*)‐2‐[(2‐hydroxyethyl)(methyl)amino]‐1,2‐diphenylethanol, C₁₇H₂₁NO₂, (VI). In each compound, all `active' hydroxy H atoms are engaged in hydrogen bonding, but the N atoms are not involved in intermolecular hydrogen bonding. In the structures of (I), (II) and (IV)–(VI), molecules are linked into chains by intermolecular O—H...O interactions. These chains are organized in such a way as to hide the hydrophilic groups inside, and so the outer surfaces of the chains are hydrophobic. The structure of (VI) contains two distinct non‐equivalent systems of intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds formed by disordered hydroxy H atoms.     

The group inverse and core inverse of sums of two elements in a ring

Abstract

In Dedekind-finite ring, we present the group inverse of sum of two group invertible elements under different conditions. Then, the core inverse of a sum of two core invertible elements is investigated. Furthermore, the core inverse of the difference of two core invertible elements is presented. These results generalized the corresponding results of complex matrices.     

Structures of germylenes and stannylenes with chelating ligands: a DFT study

Geometries of 20 germylenes and 18 stannylenes based on dialkanolamines, diethylenetriamines, and related compounds were optimized by the DFT method. It was found that the most of the germylenes and stannylenes studied are more stable as dimeric structures of different types. The dimerization is possible due to either additional Ge-O(N) interactions or Ge-Ge bonding. The factors leading to the stabilzation of one or another isomer are examined.
