Efficient preparation of mesocarbon microbeads by pyrolysis of coal-tar pitch in the presence of rosin

Mesocarbon microbeads (MCMB) were prepared by pyrolysis of coal-tar pitch in the presence of rosin, and characteristics of the pitch-rosin mixtures and the MCMB were studied. Pyrolysis behavior of the pitch-rosin mixtures was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and chemical structures of the pyrolysated pitch-rosin mixtures were studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) technique. Optical textures of the pyrolysated pitch-rosin mixtures were characterized by polarized-light microscopy. In addition, morphologies and microstructures of the MCMB, extracted from the pyrolysated pitch-rosin mixtures, were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. Results show that the rosin addition contributes to a notable increase of MCMB yield as well as a decrease in the aromaticity index of the pyrolysated pitch-rosin mixtures. Moreover, the pyrolysis conditions have great effect on the morphologies and yields of MCMB. When the pitch-rosin mixtures are pyrolysated at 450 °C for 1.5-2.5 h, the MCMB yields arrive at 33.8-54.6 wt.% of the pyrolysated pitch-rosin mixtures.     

Conductivity of LiBOB in various ternary solvent blends and the electrochemical performance of LiBOB-PC/EMC/DMC used in Li/MCMB and LiFePO4/Li cells

The solid-state reaction was employed to obtain LiBOB in vacuum dryer at 100°C, with the dryer of P₂O₅. The resulting LiBOB was employed in various ternary solvent blends to get the k, and its change with salt, solvent composition and temperature. 0.7 M LiBOB-PC/EMC/DMC (1: 1: 1, v: v: v) and 0.5 M LiBOB-EC/EMC/DMC (1: 1: 1, v: v: v) were observed to have better k at wide θ range, and the former was chosen to assemble Li/MCMB and LiFePO₄/Li cells. The results indicated that it can stabilize the MCMB anodes, and exhibit good stability in LiFePO₄/Li cell. Published in Russian in Elektrokhimiya, 2008, Vol. 44, No. 10, pp. 1231–1236.
