Carbon anode materials from polysiloxanes for lithium ion batteries

Three kinds of silicon-containing disordered carbons have been prepared by pyrolysis of polysiloxanes with different amounts of phenyl side groups. X-ray powder diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical capacity measurements were performed to study their behaviors. Graphite crystallites, micropores, and silicon species affect their electrochemical performances. All of them present high reversible capacities, >372 mAh/g. Since the graphite crystallites are very small, they contribute very little to reversible capacity. The number of micropores produced by gas emission during the heat-treatment process decides whether they exhibit reversible capacity. Si mainly exists in the form C–Si–O and influences the irreversible capacity. There is no evident capacity fading in the first ten cycles, indicating promising properties for these disordered carbons.     

Structure and magnetic properties of Ca14MnP11

The compound Ca₁₄MnP₁₁ crystallizes in the Ca₁₄AlSb₁₁ structure type with the tetragonal space group I4₁/acd (Z=8) and lattice parameters of , c=20.7565(9) at 90 K. The structure consists of MnP₄⁹⁻ tetrahedron, P₃⁷⁻ trimer, 4 P³⁻ isolated anions and 14 Ca²⁺ cations. Similar to other compounds of this structure type containing phosphorous, the P₃⁷⁻ trimer has a central P atom that is best modeled in the structure as being equally split between two sites. In addition, there is no additional distortion of the manganese-containing tetrahedron compared with the main group analog, Ca₁₄GaP₁₁, suggesting that the Mn oxidation state is Mn²⁺. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility shows that the compound is paramagnetic over the entire temperature range measured (2-300 K). The data can be fit with a modified Curie-Weiss law and provide an effective magnetic moment of 5.80 (2) B.M. with a Weiss constant of −2.13(2) K and . This moment is significantly higher than those measured for any of the Mn-containing analogs and is consistent with Mn²⁺. This result will be discussed in light of the electron counting scheme for Mn compounds of the Ca₁₄AlSb₁₁ structure-type.     

Perfluoro-1,3,5-tris(p-oligophenyl)benzenes: Amorphous Electron-Transport Materials with High-Glass-Transition Temperature and High Electron Mobility

Perfluoro-1,3,5-tris(p-quaterphenyl)benzene (PF-13Y) and perfluoro-1,3,5-tris(p-quinquephenyl)benzene (PF-16Y) have been synthesized and characterized. They showed higher glass transition temperatures compared with perfluoro-1,3,5-tris(p-terphenyl)benzene (PF-10Y). Organic light-emitting diodes were fabricated using these materials as the electron-transport layers. PF-13Y and -16Y are better electron transporters than PF-10Y. The electron mobilities of PF-10Y and Alq₃ were measured by the time-of-flight technique. PF-10Y showed higher electron mobilities (10⁻⁴ cm²/V s) and weaker electric field dependence compared with Alq₃.

A Novel Gelatin-Based Sustained-Release Molluscicide for Control of the Invasive Agricultural Pest and Disease Vector Pomacea canaliculata

Pomacea canaliculata, one of the 100 most destructive invasive species in the world, and it is an important intermediate host of Angiostrongylus cantonensis. The molluscicides in current use are an effective method for controlling snails. However, most molluscicides have no slow-release effect and are toxic to nontarget organisms. Thus, these molluscicides cannot be used on a large scale to effectively act on snails. In this study, gelatin, a safe and nontoxic substance, was combined with sustained-release molluscicide and was found to reduce the toxicity of niclosamide to nontarget organisms. We assessed the effects of gelatin and molluscicide in controlling P. canaliculata snails and eggs. The results demonstrated that the niclosamide retention time with 1.0% and 1.5% gelatin sustained-release agents reached 20 days. Additionally, the mortality rate of P. canaliculata and their eggs increased as the concentration of the niclosamide sustained-release agents increased. The adult mortality rate of P. canaliculata reached 50% after the snails were exposed to gelatin with 0.1 mg/L niclosamide for 48 h. The hatching rate of P. canaliculata was only 28.5% of the normal group after the treatment was applied. The sustained-release molluscicide at this concentration was less toxic to zebrafish, which means that this molluscicide can increase the safety of niclosamide to control P. canaliculata in aquatic environments. In this study, we explored the safety of using niclosamide sustained-release agents with gelatin against P. canaliculata. The results suggest that gelatin is an ideal sustained-release agent that can provide a foundation for subsequent improvements in control of P. canaliculata.

钾明矾蓄热性能的研究与改善

钾明矾(KAl(SO4)2·12H2O)有较高的潜热和良好的导热性(熔化热232.4kJ/kg,导热系数为0.55W/m·K),熔点为91℃,是中低温相变材料中较有开发价值的一种.但是它的过冷度高达19.8℃,并且由于相变过程伴随着结晶水的蒸发使无机盐的使用寿命大大降低.本文通过冷指法及添加成核剂的方法对硫酸铝钾的过冷现象进行了研究,结果表明成核剂NiSO4·6H2O、MgCl2·6H2O能较好的改善过冷现象,当MgCl2·6H2O的添加量为2;时可使过冷度降为零,且能保持钾明矾的相变温度而不使其降低.利用MgCl2·6H2O具有很强的吸湿性,可以补充相变过程中损失的水分,使相变材料的使用寿命大大提高.
