Polytriphenylamine: A high power and high capacity cathode material for rechargeable lithium batteries

Polytriphenylamine (PTPAn) was chemically synthesized and tested as a cathode material for high-rate storage and delivery of electrochemical energy. It is found that the polymer has not only superior high power capability but also high energy density at prolonged cycling. At a moderate rate of 0.5C, PTPAn gives a high average discharge voltage of 3.8 V and quite a high capacity of 103 mAh g⁻¹, which is very close to the theoretical capacity (109 mAh g⁻¹) as expected from one electron transfer per triphenylamine monomer. Even cycled at a very high rate of 20C, the polymer can still deliver a capacity of 90 mAh g⁻¹ at 1000th cycle with a nearly 100% coulombic efficiency. The excellent electrochemical performances of PTPAn are explained from the structural specificity of the polymer where the radical redox centers are stabilized and protected by conductive polymeric backbone, making the radical redox and charge-transporting processes kinetically facile for high-rate charge and discharge.     

Improvement of output performance of solid oxide fuel cell by optimizing Ni/samaria-doped ceria anode functional layer

Anode functional layers (AFLs) were fabricated using slurry spin coating method on anode substrates to improve the performance of cells based on samaria-doped ceria (SDC) films. The effects of the chemical compositions of AFL and AFL thickness on the performance of solid oxide fuel cell anodes were investigated by studying their effect on the ohmic loss, electrode overpotential, and output performance of cells in different atmospheres. With humidified hydrogen used as fuel and oxygen as oxidant, the cell with an 8-μm-thick AFL (NiO:SDC = 6:4) exhibited excellent maximum power densities of 3.41, 2.89, 1.46 and 0.80 W cm⁻² at 650, 600, 550 and 500 °C, respectively.

MICROSTRUCTURES AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF IN-SITU Al2O3/TiAl COMPOSITES BY EXOTHERMIC DISPERSION METHOD

In-situ Al2O3/TiAl composites were fabricated by pressure-assisted exothermic disper-sion (PAXD) method from elemental powder mixtures of Ti, Al, TiO2, and Nb2O5.The microstructures and mechanical properties of the as-sintered composites are in-vestigated. The results show that the as-sintered products consist of γ-TiAl, α2-Ti3Al,Al2O3, and NbAl3 phases. Microstrueture analysis indicates that Al2O3 particles tend to disperse on the grain boundaries. Application of a moderate pressure of 35 Mpa at 1200℃ yields Ab2O3/TiAl composites with fine Al2O3 reinforcement and a dis-continuous network linking by Al2O3 particles. The aluminide component has a fine submicron γ+α2 larnellar rnicrostructure. With increasing Nb2O5 content, A1203 par-ticles are dispersed uniformly in the matrix. The hardness of the composites increases gradually, and the bending strength and fracture toughness of the composites reach to the maximum value, respectively.

The influence of tool flank wear on residual stresses induced by milling aluminum alloy

The machining processes could induce residual stresses that enhance or impair greatly the performance of the machined component. Machining residual stresses correlate very closely with the cutting parameters and the tool geometries. In this paper, the effect of the tool flank wear on residual stresses profiles in milling of aluminum alloy 7050-T7451 was investigated. In the experiments, the residual stresses on the surface of the workpiece and in-depth were measured by using X-ray diffraction technique in combination with electro-polishing technique. In order to correlate the residual stresses with the thermal and mechanical phenomena developed during milling, the orthogonal components of the cutting forces were measured using a Kistler 9257A type three-component piezoelectric dynamometer. The temperature field of the machined workpiece surface was obtained with the combination of infrared thermal imaging system and finite element method. The results show that the tool flank wear has a significant effect on residual stresses profiles, especially superficial residual stress. As the tool flank wear length increases, the residual stress on the machined surface shifts obviously to tensile range, the residual compressive stress beneath the machined surface increases and the thickness of the residual stresses layer also increases. The magnitude and distributions of the residual stresses are closely correlated with cutting forces and temperature field. The three orthogonal components of the peak cutting forces increase and the highest temperature of the machined workpiece surface also increases significantly with an increase in the flank wear. The results reveal that the thermal load plays a significant role in the formation of the superficial residual stress, while the dominative factor that affects thickness of residual stresses layer is the mechanical load in high-speed milling aluminum alloy using worn tool.

Synthesis and characterization of Fe-Co binary ferrospinel nanospheres via one-step nonaqueous solution pathway

Fe-Co binary ferrospinel (CoFe₂O₄) nanospheres were synthesized by a facile nonaqueous solution route. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron diffraction (ED) showed that the obtained nanospheres had the cubic spinel structure. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicated that the samples consisted of abundant uniform CoFe₂O₄ nanospheres with the particle size in the range of 35-40 nm. The magnetic properties of the sample were measured by using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) at room temperature, which showed that the nanospheres exhibited a typical ferromagnetic behavior.
