Inhibited intracrystalline cracks and enhanced electrochemical properties of NCM811 cathode materials coated by EPS

The formation of micro-cracks in Ni-rich LiNi_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1O₂ (NCM811) cathode particles is an extremely important factor affecting the electrochemical characteristics after long-term cycling. Generally, cracks can be divided into intergranular crack and intracrystalline crack according to their positions. Coating has been confirmed as a highly effective strategy to relieve intergranular cracks. However, the intracrystalline cracks of primary-like particles have rarely been studied. In this work, ethoxy functional polysiloxane (EPS) was directly coated on the surface of original NCM811 by tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) hydrolytic polycondensation method without any additives. Then, the microstructure, micromorphology, surface state and electrochemical properties were investigated in detail by XRD, SEM, TEM, CV and EIS. The results displayed that the micro-cracks of primary-like particles were effectively suppressed under appropriate EPS coating. Accordingly, excellent capacity retention of 95.6% (100 cycles, 1C) and rate performance (144.6 mA h/g, 5C) were obtained. These improved mechanical and electrochemical properties are considered to be related to the EPS stress buffer layer, suppressed oxygen vacancies, inhibited phase transition and reduced volume change.

Ab initio study of helium in Li4SiO4 crystals: Electronic properties,migration, and vacancy capture mechanism

Li₄SiO₄ crystal is a candidate material for tritium breeder material. Vacancy defects and He atoms will be produced in the crystal after neutron irradiation in fusion reactor. In previous research, we learned vacancy defects mainly include V_O⁰, V_O²⁺, and V_Li⁰, meanwhile, He atoms are easy to migrate and aggregate in the crystal. In order to understand the relationship between vacancy defects and He atoms, we use density functional theory (DFT) to study the interaction mechanism between vacancy and He atom. The results show that the local stable sites of He atoms are related to the surrounding charge distribution. V_O²⁺ and V_Li⁰ can capture interstitial He atoms, and it is difficult to escape the vacancies, thereby increasing the nucleation center of He atoms. V_O⁰ promotes the diffusion of He atoms in the interstitial space, which will cause small helium bubbles to merge more easily.     

Enhanced electromagnetic microwave absorption of Fe/C/SiCN composite ceramics targeting in integrated structure and function

The Fe/C/SiCN composite ceramics were synthesized by polymer-derived method to obtain the integration of structure and functions. The electromagnetic waves (EMW) absorption properties at X and Ku bands were investigated. The addition of nano-sized Fe particles improved the magnetic loss and impedance matching, and the carbon nanotubes generated by the iron in-situ catalysis increased the internal relaxation polarization and interfacial polarization, which together improved the EMW absorption properties significantly. In particular, the Fe/C/SiCN-9 showed the optimum reflection loss (RL) of ?31.06 dB at 10.03 GHz with an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB, RL < ?10 dB) of 3.03 GHz at 2.51 mm, indicating the excellent EMW absorption properties of Fe/C/SiCN composite ceramics.     

Yttrium doped covalent triazine frameworks as promising reversible hydrogen storage material: DFT investigations

Through Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulations, we have explored the possibility of yttrium (Y) doped Triazine (Covalent Triazine Frameworks i.e., CTF-1) to be a promising material for reversible hydrogen storage. We have found that Y atom strongly bonded on Triazine surface can adsorb at the most 7H₂ molecules with an average binding energy of ?0.33 eV/H₂. This boosts the storage capacity of the system to 7.3 wt% which is well above the minimum requirement of 6.5 wt% for efficient storage of hydrogen as stipulated by the US Department of Energy (DoE). The structural integrity over and above the desorption temperature (420 K) has been entrenched through Molecular Dynamics simulations and the investigation of metal-metal clustering has been corroborated through diffusion energy barrier computation. The mechanism of interactions between Y and Triazine as well as between H₂ molecules and Y doped Triazine has been explored via analyses of the partial density of states, charge density, and Bader charge. It has been perceived that the interplay of H₂ molecules with Y on Triazine is Kubas-type of interaction. The above-mentioned analysis and outcomes make us highly optimistic that Y doped Triazine could be employed as reversible hydrogen storage material which can act as an environmentally friendly alternate fuel for transport applications.     

Structure,magnetic properties and microwave absorption properties of NdFe1-xNixO3

In this paper, a high-purity NdFe_1-xNi_xO₃ perovskite-type material was prepared by a simple sol method. At the same time, adjust the substitution content of nickel to achieve the purpose of adjusting the dielectric properties and magnetic properties. According to the respective instruments, as Ni is substituted into the NdFeO₃, the crystal microstructure will change to a certain extent, and there is a certain causal relationship between the magnetic properties and the bonding. Therefore, by adding a certain amount of nickel, the dielectric properties and magnetic properties can be adjusted to a certain balance point. NdFe_1-xNi_xO₃ material has excellent microwave absorption performance. When x = 0.2, the minimum reflection loss value is ?49.32, and the corresponding impedance matching value is 1, and the effective bandwidth is 2.2 GHz when the thickness is 5.0 mm. The material that adjusts the perovskite structure by Ni element is beneficial to make the microwave absorption peak move from high frequency to low frequency, which has a wider application range and is closer to civil, commercial, military and aerospace.     

Hydrogen production performance of a photovoltaic thermal system coupled with a proton exchange membrane electrolysis cell

As one of the cleanest energies, hydrogen has attracted much attention over the past decade. Hydrogen can be produced using water electrolysis in a Proton Exchange Membrane Electrolysis Cell (PEMEC). In the present study, the performance of the PEMEC, powered by the Photovoltaic-Thermal (PVT) system, is scrutinized. It is considered that the PVT system provides the required electrical power of the PEMEC and preheats the feedwater. A comprehensive numerical model of the coupled PVT-PEMEC system is developed. The model is used to investigate the effect of various operating parameters, including solar radiation intensity, inlet feedwater temperature, and feedwater mass flow rate, on the hydrogen production and operating voltage of the PEMEC at various Exchange Current Densities (ECDs). Furthermore, the effect of integration of Phase Change Material (PCM) and Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) on the hydrogen production of the system is evaluated. According to the obtained results, the PVT-TEG-PEMEC system outperforms other systems in hydrogen production. However, integration of the PVT-PEMEC system with PCM has a negligible effect on its hydrogen production.     

Facile self-assembly approach to construct a novel MXene-decorated nano-sized phase change material emulsion for thermal energy storage

In recent years, phase change material emulsions (PCMEs) with enhanced energy storage capacities and good flow characteristics have drawn significant attention. However, due to the thermodynamically unstable nature and tiny particle confinement, the nanomaterial modification strategies at PCM/water interface to improve stabilities and reduce supercooling of nano-sized PCMEs (NPCMEs) are very limited and challenging. Herein, we report a facile strategy for constructing MXene-decorated NPCME with good stability, little supercooling, and high thermal conductivity by self-assembly of MXene nanosheets at PCM/water interface. The concentrations of MXene have great influences on the average droplet diameters, stabilities, and thermophysical properties of the NPCMEs. The results show that the PCMs have been well dispersed into the water in the form of quasi-spherical droplets, with average droplet diameters of 242–805 nm. The thermal conductivity of 10 wt% n-tetradecane/water NPCME containing 9 mg ml^-1 MXene is 0.693 W m^-1·K^-1, achieving an enhancement by 15.5%, as compared to that of water. Besides, the MXene-decorated paraffin/water NPCMEs exhibit little supercooling and enhanced heat storage capacities. More importantly, this facile self-assembly strategy opens a new platform for preparing high-performance NPCMEs, which can be used as novel heat transfer fluids for thermal energy storage systems.
