Spinel lithium titanate (Li4Ti5O12) as novel anode material for room-temperature sodium-ion battery

This is the first time that a novel anode material, spinel Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ which is well known as a “zero-strain” anode material for lithium storage, has been introduced for sodium-ion battery. The Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ shows an average Na storage voltage of about 1.0 V and a reversible capacity of about 145 mAh/g, thereby making it a promising anode for sodium-ion battery. E_x-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) is used to investigate the structure change in the Na insertion/deinsertion process. Based on this, a possible Na storage mechanism is proposed.

Nanoporous silicon flakes as anode active material for lithium-ion batteries

Nanoporous-silicon (np-Si) flakes were prepared using a combination of an electrochemical etching process and an ultra-sonication treatment and the electrochemical properties were studied as an anode active material for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). This fabrication method is a simple, reproducible, and cost effective way to make high-performance Si-based anode active materials in LIBs. The anode based on np-Si flakes exhibited a higher performances (lower capacity fade rate, stability and excellent rate capability at high C-rate) than the anode based on Si nanowires. The excellent performance of the np-Si flake anode was attributed to the hollowness (nanoporous structure) of the anode active material, which allowed it to accommodate a large volume change during cycling.     

Seed priming with cold plasma improved seedling performance,secondary metabolism,and expression of deacetylvindoline O-acetyltransferase gene in Catharanthus roseus

The plasma-primed seeds of Catharanthus roseus were cultured in a hormone-free culture medium under sterile conditions. Plasma of 30 or 60 s improved root length (mean = 41.4%) and biomass (mean = 47%), whereas plasma of 90 s delayed plant growth. The plasma treatments enhanced concentrations of photosynthetic pigments and soluble phenols. Plasma of 90 s increased the proline level. With a similar trend, plasma priming induced activities of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, catalase (about twofold) and peroxidase (31%) enzymes. Plasma also upregulated the expressions of deacetylvindoline O-acetyltransferase gene by an average of 7.8 times. Similarly, the plasma-treated seedlings contained higher concentrations of alkaloids (mean = 72%). Here, molecular evidence is provided on the plasma-associated modifications in secondary metabolism.

Improvement of electrochemical performance of all-solid-state lithium secondary batteries by surface modification of LiMn2O4 positive electrode

To improve the electrochemical performance of an all-solid-state In/80Li₂S⋅20P₂S₅ (electrolyte)/LiMn₂O₄ cell, a lithium-titanate thin film was used to coat LiMn₂O₄. The interfacial resistance between LiMn₂O₄ and the electrolyte (measured after initial charging) decreased when the LiMn₂O₄ particles were coated with lithium-titanate. A cell with lithium-titanate-coated LiMn₂O₄ had a higher capacity than a cell with noncoated LiMn₂O₄ for current densities in the range 0.064 to 2.6 mA cm^− 2. Additionally, a cell with coated LiMn₂O₄ retained 96% of the 10th-cycle reversible capacity at a current density of 0.064 mA cm^− 2 after 50 cycles.     

An orbifold relative index theorem

Atomic force microscopy study of surface morphology change in spinel LiMn2O4: Possibility of direct observation of Jahn-Teller instability

Surface morphology in 3.5 × 3.5 μm² area of spinel LiMn₂O₄, which is a typical cathode material for Li ion secondary batteries, is studied using an atomic force microscopy (AFM) with a conductive probe. Negative bias voltage is applied to the probe to attract Li⁺ ions toward LiMn₂O₄ surface during the AFM observation. Before applying the voltage (0 V), the whole LiMn₂O₄ surface is covered with scale-shaped grains. Under the negative voltage of 5.5 V, electric current abruptly increases, indicating Li⁺ ionic conduction. Simultaneously, part of the scale-shaped grains expand and flatten. Jahn-Teller phase transition, which is induced by the repulsive interaction between the Mn-e_g and O-2p electrons in Li accumulated layer, is proposed as a possible origin of these results.
