Porous surfur-doped hard carbon for excellent potassium storage

Hard carbon is promising anode for potassium-ion batteries(PIBs),however,the poor rate capability hinders its development as potential anode.To address this question,we design a sulfur-doped porous hard carbon(S-HC)for PIBs through the combination of structural design and composition adjustment.The as-designed S-HC exhibits a long cycling life with^191 mAh/g after 300 cycles at 1 A/g,and an excellent rate capability with^100 mAh/g at 5 A/g,which was attributed to its structural characteristics and compositions.The S-HC demonstrates to be promising anode in the future.     

聚酯型脂肪族和芳香族聚氨酯硬段结晶特性对比

本文利用DSC、IR、WAXD、PLM和SALS等实验手段,探讨了具有相同软段的聚酯型脂肪族和芳香族聚氨酯硬段结晶特性的差异,发现脂肪族聚氨酯的相分离速率极快,氢键主要在硬段间形成,因而对硬段的结晶过程影响不大;而芳香族聚氨酯的相分离速率较慢,软硬段间又能形成氢键,因而对硬段的结晶起了阻碍作用。     

不同分子量软链段的聚己内酯型聚氨酯扩链反应动力学研究

合成了一系列不同分子量的聚己内酯,进而制备异氰酸根封端的聚己内酯预聚体,用傅里叶变换红外光谱研究了不同分子量的聚己内酯预聚体与二元醇的扩链反应.扩链反应动力学研究结果表明:聚己内酯预聚体与二元醇的扩链反应均为二级反应;随着软链段反应物料分子量的增加,反应速率常数显著降低,但当分子量超过某一范围后,其对反应速率的影响逐渐减小,趋于不变.对于不同硬链段反应物料含量的扩链反应体系,硬链段反应物料含量越高,软链段反应物料分子量对反应速率的影响越明显,而且,当软链段反应物料分子量超过某一范围后,不同体系的反应速率常数间的差值趋于不变.Arrhenius方程中的指前因子(B)随软链段反应物料分子量的变化关系与速率常数对分子量的依赖关系相同;从反应速率常数对温度的依赖关系可见:表观活化能的直线斜率基本相同,扩链反应的活化能主要与官能团的反应活性相关.

Inducing anisotropy in bulk Nd-Fe-Co-Al-B nanocrystalline alloys by quenching in magnetic field

We have observed magnetic anisotropy in bulk Nd_55−xCo_xFe₃₀Al₁₀B₅ (x=10, 15 and 20) alloys prepared by copper mold suction casting method with a presence of external magnetic field (quenching field) μ₀H=0.25 T. By changing direction of the measuring field from perpendicular to parallel one in comparison with that of the quenching field, coercive force of the alloys slightly decreases while remanent magnetization and squareness of hysteresis loop increase more clearly. It is also found that the higher Co-concentration in the alloys the larger magnetic anisotropy is induced. The structure analyses manifest nanocrystalline particles embedded in residual amorphous matrix of the alloys. The size of the particles is in range of 10-30 nm and their crystalline phases consist of Nd₂(Fe,Co)₁₄B, Nd₃Co, Nd₃Al, NdAl₂ and Nd.     

Quaternionic geometry of matroids

Building on a recent paper [8], here we argue that the combinatorics of matroids are intimately related to the geometry and topology of toric hyperkähler varieties. We show that just like toric varieties occupy a central role in Stanley’s proof for the necessity of McMullen’s conjecture (or g-inequalities) about the classification of face vectors of simplicial polytopes, the topology of toric hyperkähler varieties leads to new restrictions on face vectors of matroid complexes. Namely in this paper we will give two proofs that the injectivity part of the Hard Lefschetz theorem survives for toric hyperkähler varieties. We explain how this implies the g-inequalities for rationally representable matroids. We show how the geometrical intuition in the first proof, coupled with results of Chari [3], leads to a proof of the g-inequalities for general matroid complexes, which is a recent result of Swartz [20]. The geometrical idea in the second proof will show that a pure O-sequence should satisfy the g-inequalities, thus showing that our result is in fact a consequence of a long-standing conjecture of Stanley.     

Spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric investigation of different equilibria of a recently synthesized Schiff base with the aid of chemometric methods

In this study ground and excited states acidic dissociation constants of a recently synthesized Schiff base was obtained in a DMF:water mixture of 30:70 (v/v) using absorption and fluorescent spectra of the Schiff base in different pH values with the aid of chemometric methods. In addition, the fluorescent of the two kinds of tautomers of this Schiff base was investigated and the rate of tautomerization was obtained using rank annihilation factor analysis (RAFA). The effect of different kinds of surfactants such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and Triton X-100 on fluorescence spectrum of the Schiff base in a DMF:water mixture of 2:98 (v/v) was investigated. CTAB increased the fluorescence intensity of the Schiff base while SDS and Triton X-100 had no significant effect on it. β-Cyclodextrin increased the fluorescence intensity of the Schiff base. Also the sensing behavior of this Schiff base toward metal ions was studied in DMF and ethanol by fluorescence spectroscopy. The Schiff base showed prominent fluorescent signal in the presence of Zn²⁺, whereas other metal ions failed to induce response and ground-state dissociation constant of the complex was determined by direct fluorimetric titration as a function of Zn²⁺ concentration.     

Cotunnite-Structured Titanium Dioxide and the Hardest known Oxide

Combined theoretical and experimental investigations led to the discovery of a new polymorph of titanium dioxide with titanium nine-coordinated to oxygen in the cotunnite (PbCl 2 ) structure. Hardness measurements on the cotunnite-structured TiO 2 synthesized at pressures above 60 GPa and temperatures above 1000 K reveal that this material is the hardest oxide yet discovered. Furthermore, it is one of the least compressible (with a measured bulk modulus of 431 GPa) and hardest (with a microhardness of 38 GPa) polycrystalline materials studied thus far.
