Interactions of Li2O volatilized from ternary lithium-ion battery cathode materials with mullite saggar materials during calcination

In recent years, the rapid development of Li(Ni_xCo_yMn_1-x-y)O₂ (LNCM) materials for application in ternary lithium-ion batteries has led to an increased demand for refractory kiln saggars in industries. However, saggars used for firing ternary Li-ion battery cathode materials are often subjected to severe corrosion and spalling. To investigate the damage mechanism of the saggar materials, non-contact corrosion experiments were designed to study the effects of the precursor additions, calcination temperature, and number of calcinations during the interaction between mullite saggar and LNCM materials. The phase composition and microstructure of the mullite saggar specimens before and after corrosion were characterized using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, respectively, to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the causes of the deterioration of mullite saggar materials during corrosion.     

A novel design for humidifying an open-cathode proton exchange membrane fuel cell using anode purge

The low performance of open-cathode proton-exchange-membrane fuel cells (OCPEMFCs) is attributed to the low-humidity ambient air supplied to the cathode using electric fans. To improve the OCPEMFC performance, this paper proposes a novel humidification method by collecting water purged from the anode and supplying it to the open cathode. The OCPEMFC performance is evaluated at various humidifier distances from the cathode inlet, and it is compared with that where no humidifier is used when the OCPEMFC operates under three different current levels of 1, 5, and 8 A. The results show that the novel design improves the stack power, and optimal performance is achieved at a humidifier distance of 2 cm. The energy efficiency achieves an improvement between 1.4% and 1.8% when a humidifier is used.     

Synergistic effect of bulk phase doping and layered-spinel structure formation on improving electrochemical performance of Li-Rich cathode material

In this study, La was doped into the lithium layer of Li-rich cathode material and formed a layered-spinel hetero-structure. The morphology, crystal structure, element valence and kinetics of lithium ion migration were studied by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The La doped lithium-rich cathode material exhibited similar initial discharge capacity of 262.8 mAh g^?1 at 0.1 C compared with the undoped material, but the discharge capacity retention rate can be obviously improved to 90% after 50 cycles at 1.0 C. Besides that, much better rate capability and Li⁺ diffusion coefficient were observed. The results revealed that La doping not only stabilized the material structure and reduced the Li/Ni mixing degree, but also induced the generation of spinel phase to provide three-dimensional diffusion channels for lithium ion migration. Moreover, the porous structure of the doped samples also contributed to the remarkable excellent electrochemical performance. All of these factors combined to significantly improve the electrochemical performance of the material.     

Experimental investigations of enhanced glow based on a pulsed hollow-cathode discharge

In this work, the pulsed hollow cathode discharges at low pressure argon with an axial magnetic field were studied. The results indicate that the pulsed discharge is operated in an enhanced glow(EG) mode. Under the same conditions, the discharge current of the pulsed discharge is two or three orders higher than that of the direct current discharge. The spatial and temporal evolution of the light emission shows that, the current fluctuation at the rising edge of the pulse plays an important role for the EG discharge of pulsed hollow cathode, which forms a high-density, highcurrent and long-distance plasma column outside the cavity.

珠光体球化的分形研究

珠光体球化反映到金相上，是一种不规则图像的变化，并且具有分形的特征，可望用分形几何的方法来进行描述。以Cr-Mo钢的珠光体球化为例，用分形维数来描述珠光体球化程度；用小岛法对15CrMo钢的珠光体球化图谱进行了测量。实验表明，珠光体球化从1级到6级，其相应的分形维数范围为1.3156-1.9282。从电厂运行了10^5h的15CrMo钢管上取样，实测了该试样的珠光体球化等级，结果表明，以分形维数表示的球化程度与按图谱评定的球化等级完全吻合。     

锂离子电池正极材料LiMn2O4的研究进展

具有尖晶石相的LiMn2O4因价格低、无毒、无环境污染、制备简单、研究较成熟,因此有着很好的应用前景,被看作最有可能成为新一代商用锂离子二次电池正极材料.由于LiMn2O4电化学循环稳定性能不好,表现在可逆容量衰减较大,尤其在高温下(>55℃)使用衰减更严重,从而限制了它的商业化应用.经过近十几年的研究,人们对其衰减机理有了比较清晰的了解,提出了造成容量衰减的几种可能原因如Jahn-Teller畸变效应、Mn2+在电解质中的溶解、出现稳定性较差的四方相以及电解质的分解等.通过掺杂、表面包覆、制备工艺的改进,人们已能制得循环稳定性能较好的尖晶相材料.本文结合我们研究小组的最新研究成果对锂离子二次电池正极材料LiMn2O4的最新研究进展进行综述和评论.     

荧光显示管直丝氧化物阴极有效逸出功的计算

阴极的逸出功是表征阴极发射能力的物理量，求定荧光显示管直丝氧化物阴极有效逸出功时，因其零场发射电流密度难于准确取值，温度无法直接测量，显得困难，须予解决，为此提出了一种计算阴极有产逸出功的办法，对某显示管的发射欠佳和“低温高效”的两种氧化物阴极的有效逸出功进行计算，有效逸出功率是靠测量相关物理量再同计算得出，精度不很高，文中所用办法也不例外，但所得结果能反映阴极发射能力，所需仪器少，是实用方法。
