Preparation and performance of sulfur–carbon composite based on hollow carbon nanofiber for lithium-sulfur batteries

A unique structured hollow carbon nanofiber–sulfur composite material (HCF–S) was fabricated and characterized in lithium-sulfur batteries. It is found that a part of spherical sulfur particles are located in the voids formed by the intertwined fibers and the others are confined in hollow channel of the HCF. The high conductive and porous HCF favors the construction of stable three-dimensional conducting network and convenient infiltration of the electrolytes into the cathode. The HCF–S cathode exhibits excellent electrochemical performance in the electrolyte with LiNO₃. By contrast, the ionic liquid electrolyte provides insufficient shuttle suppression and weakens ion transport, which leads to poor cycle and rate capability.     

Sol–gel preparation and characterization of Bi4(Si1−xGex)3O12 solid solutions

Micro-crystals of Bi₄(Ge_xSi_1?x)₃O₁₂ (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1) solid solution series were synthesized by a sol–gel method, using stoichiometric Si(OC₂H₅)₄, GeO₂, Bi(NO₃)₃·5H₂O as the starting materials. The as-prepared series were studied by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectra, differential thermal analysis, and fluorescence spectra. Experiments showed that single phase of Bi₄(Si_1?xGe_x)₃O₁₂ was obtained by the sol–gel method. For all the composition, Bi₄Si₃O₁₂ and Bi₄Ge₃O₁₂ can completely dissolve into each other. The refined cell parameters were in proportion to the composition. Bi₄Ge₃O₁₂ showed the strongest fluorescence emission while Bi₄Si₃O₁₂ showed the weakest fluorescence emission.

Physically and chemically bound H2O in the α-C2S hydrate structure

In this paper, a fundamental practical unit, namely the wedge-shaped enclosure, is proposed as a novel and efficient latent heat storage unit for thermal energy storage. The enthalpy–porosity method that treats the solid and liquid zones as a single domain is employed. Effect of the mushy zone constant C on melting is analyzed and a suitable value is obtained by comparing the numerical results with experimental data in the literature. A series of simulations are conducted to analyze the transient melting coupled with natural convection as well as the heat transfer process. Fourteen units those have different length ratios between top and bottom of the enclosures are investigated and compared by the analysis of transient temperature fields, vertical velocity distributions, and evolution of the melting fronts. It is found that the length ratio n dramatically affects the full melting time and heat transfer intensity. An enclosure of n = 5.5, which has the shortest completion time and the highest heat transfer intensity, is determined as the optimal unit. Compared with the base geometry (n = 1), charging time of the optimal unit (n = 5.5) decreased by 32.8 %, while the heat transfer intensity increased by 45.7 %. This is a significant improvement in the field of latent heat storage.

ZnMO(M=Cd,Mg)纳米管发光性能的第一性原理研究

采用热蒸发法制备得到掺Cd量为3.3at%的ZnO纳米管,室温光致发光谱(PL)显示,由于Cd的掺入,ZnCdO纳米管的紫外近带边发射(UV NBE)从纯ZnO的3.26 eV红移到3.20 eV附近。应用基于密度泛函理论研究锯齿型(9,0)ZnMO(M=Cd,Mg)单壁纳米管的电子结构。分析发现Cd掺杂纳米管与薄膜相似,能隙随掺杂量增加逐渐减小,出现红移;而Mg掺杂纳米管则不同,能带变化没有规律性。
