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.

平均地层压力是产能评价和动态分析的基础，准确、快速获取平均地层压力对高效开发气藏意义重大。基于地层压力随时间变化的规律，分析了平均地层压力的变化规律。研究结果表明：平均地层压力等效点仅随时间发生改变，平均地层压力的下降速率等于或者近似等于井底流压的下降速率。从封闭弹性驱动气藏的物质平衡方程出发，考虑偏差系数和井底流压随平均地层压力的变化，推导建立了平均地层压力跟踪计算新方法，根据生产数据可迭代计算平均地层压力。方法验证结果显示，采气速度和采出程度共同影响模型的计算结果。应用实例表明，跟踪计算法与压力恢复试井和物质平衡法之间的相对误差均较小，满足工程计算精度要求，且跟踪计算法不需依托生产测试数据，节约了测试费用，避免了测试占产。     

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.     

Toward a better understanding of multifunctional cement-based materials: The impact of graphite nanoplatelets (GNPs)

The impact of graphite nanoplatelets (GNPs) on the physical and mechanical properties of cementitious nanocomposites was investigated. A market-available premixed mortar was modified with 0.01% by weight of cement of commercial GNPs characterized by two distinctively different aspect ratios.The rheological behavior of the GNP-modified fresh admixtures was thoroughly evaluated. Hardened cementitious nanocomposites were investigated in terms of density, microstructure (Scanning Electron Microscopy, SEM and micro–Computed Tomography, μ-CT), mechanical properties (three-point bending and compression tests), and physical properties (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, EIS and thermal conductivity measurements). At 28 days, all GNP-modified mortars showed about 12% increased density. Mortars reinforced with high aspect ratio GNPs exhibited the highest compressive and flexural strength: about 14% and 4% improvements compared to control sample, respectively. Conversely, low aspect ratio GNPs led to cementitious nanocomposites characterized by 36% decreased electrical resistivity combined with 60% increased thermal conductivity with respect to the control sample.     

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.     

Effect of Zr addition on the interfacial reaction of the SiC joint brazed by Inconel 625 powder filler

Ni-based alloys are believed to be the most suitable brazing fillers for SiC ceramic application in a nuclear environment. However, graphite, which severely deteriorates the mechanical property of the joint, is inevitable when Ni reacts with SiC. In this paper, Different amounts of Zr powders are mixed with Inconel 625 powders to braze SiC at 1400 °C. When Zr addition reaches 40 wt%, the brazed seam confirms the absence of graphite. This research proves that Zr can avoid the graphite’s formation by suppressing Ni’s activity. The room-temperature shear strength of the joint with graphite’s absence is tested to be 81.97 MPa, which is almost three times higher than that of the joint with graphite. The interfacial reaction process and mechanism of the SiC joint are investigated and explained in this paper using thermodynamic calculations.     

Superior hydrogen evolution electrocatalysis enabled by CoP nanowire array on graphite felt

Renewable electricity-powered hydrogen production is an attractive alternative to unsustainable industrial processes, but the large-scale implantation of such sustainable technology still requires efficient and noble-metal-free electrocatalysts for driving cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), especially under alkaline conditions. In this paper, CoP nanowire array was in-situ developed on porous graphite felt (CoP/GF) as a new 3D electrocatalyst in facilitating hydrogen evolution electrocatalysis. This CoP/GF presents outstanding HER activity, requiring a low overpotential of 130 mV to deliver a current density of 20 mA cm^?2 as tested in 1.0 M KOH. Furthermore, this free-standing catalyst exhibits impressive long-term durability of up to 50 h under working conditions.     

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.
