The matrix material in a Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell, usually LiAlO2, has an important role in the ionic conduction, gas sealing and electrolyte retention. To avoid cracking, this material has been reinforced with various additives, mostly Al-based, which are subject to in situ lithiation. In this work, matrices were systematically synthesized through a fast and more environmentally friendly route and characterized, with two types of reinforcing agent, either Al powder or Al2O3 fibers, both with and without carbonates. Then, a comparative analysis was done, in terms of mechanical strength and porosity, on the effect of adding Al powder and Al2O3 fibers and their subsequent lithiation. This reaction was found to be quantitative after 50 h at 650 °C, and matrices with reinforcing agent and carbonates featured increased mechanical strength by a factor up to 2 compared to matrices with only reinforcing agent, reaching 0.61 kgf.mm?2. Al powder was also found to be better suited than Al2O3 fibers for addition in a matrix, also contributing to enhance the porosity, particularly after lithiation. 相似文献
Hydrogen-metal exchange reactions using butyllithium have been studied on cross-linked poly(4-methylstyrene) to prepare polymer-bound benzyllithium reagent, which is a valuable starting material for functionalized resins. A simple one-step lithiation of pendant tolyl group of poly(4-methylstyrene) was achieved with a degree of lithiation as high as 50% using t-butyllithium in tetrahydrofuran. 相似文献
In situ oxidation/lithiation reaction of the pure Ni and Ni-Co alloy electrodes were studied in molten Li0.62/K0.38 carbonate eutectics saturated with a 0.9O2 + 0.1CO2 atmosphere at 923 K. Ni-Co alloy electrodes were prepared on the pure Au foil by the galvanostatic pulse plating method. Open circuit potential (OCP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) were employed to investigate the in situ oxidation /lithiation reaction of electrodes. OCP variation of Ni and Ni-Co alloy electrodes was divided into four regions and charge transfer resistance (Rct) and diffusion resistance (Rdiff) measured as a function of OCP/immersion time in EIS experiment strongly depended on the composition of Ni-Co alloy electrodes and the electrochemical-catalytic activity of Ni-Co alloy electrodes was affected by the surface roughness. In XRD analysis and micro-Raman spectroscopy (RS), the lithiation content increased proportionally with the amount of cobalt in Ni-Co alloy electrodes, which was an important factor to determine the electrochemical-catalytic activity of electrodes. 相似文献
The silicon film (6 μm) was prepared by vacuum deposition method on a surface modified copper foil as anode for lithium-ion batteries with high capacity and long cycle life. The modified copper foil has a rough and pyramid-like surface which helps the deposited Si film to connect toughly. The deposited hill-like Si is favorable to reduce the mechanical stress coming from the volume expansion and shrinkage of active materials during lithiation and de-lithiation. Moreover, the Si film exists mostly in an amorphous state. After cycling, partial amorphous phase transforms into the polycrystalline Si grains, forming a combination of amorphous and crystalline structure. Cyclic voltammograms (CVs) and electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) research indicate that the vacuum-deposited thick Si film has a good reversibility of lithiation/de-lithiation. As a consequence, the thick Si film exhibits an excellent cycling performance with high reversible capacity. 相似文献
The lithiation of 5,5′‐dibromo‐2,2′‐bithiophene with one equivalent of an alkyllithium such as n‐BuLi or s‐BuLi was studied by varying the residence time in flow microreactors. With a short residence time, the product 2,2′‐bithiophene (3) derived from dilithiation was obtained preferentially and a significant amount of the starting material 5,5′‐dibromo‐2,2′‐bithiophene remained unchanged. An increase in the residence time caused a higher yield of the product 5‐bromo‐2,2′‐bithiophene derived from monolithiation with expense in the yields of 2,2′‐bithiophene and 5,5′‐dibromo‐2,2′‐bithiophene. The lithiation using MeLi gave the product 5‐bromo‐2,2′‐bithiophene preferentially even with a very short residence time. 相似文献
On the basis of previous work, the home-made deformation-testing system was further applied to detect the thickness change of porous nickel materials in the various experimental condition of molten carbonate. The deformation and dissolution behavior of porous nickel and the loading effect on the behavior were in situ studied in the process of oxidation and lithiation. The results indicated that both an obvious deformation and a severe nickel dissolution occurred during the oxidation/lithiation of porous nickel in molten carbonate under loading conditions. Furthermore, the dissolution of nickel from porous nickel was still significant even if without loading. It was found that the deformation of porous nickel closely corresponded to its dissolution during the oxidation/lithiation of porous nickel in molten carbonate. 相似文献
Copper-based oxides are attractive anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their abundant resources, low cost, non-toxic and high capacity. However, copper-based oxides will produce a huge volume change during lithiation/delithiation, and the structural strain caused by periodic volume changes may cause the exfoliation of active materials. Herein, a flower-like binder-free three-dimensional (3D) CuO/Cu2O-CTAB was prepared by introducing CTAB, which homogeneously grew in situ on a copper mesh framework. The binder-free 3D sample guarantees direct contact between the active material and the copper mesh, maintaining the structure stability. The flower-like CuO/Cu2O-CTAB with a small size reveals larger active interfaces and provides more active sites. The introduction of CTAB enlarges the interlayer spacing of CuO/Cu2O, increases the active sites for lithium storage, and adapts to the volume change of the material during lithiation/delithiation. In addition, the expanded interlayer structure helps decrease the ion diffusion energy barrier for accelerating electrochemical reaction kinetics. Therefore, CuO/Cu2O-CTAB exhibits better lithium storage performance (2.9 mAh cm?2 at 0.5 mA cm?2) than bare CuO/Cu2O (1.8 mAh cm?2 at 0.5 mA cm?2). 相似文献
A phosphor atom was introduced into photochromic dithienylethene and the corresponding dithienylethene bis(phosphine)ligands were obtained by the lithiation of 1,2-bis-(5-chloro-2-methylthien-3-yl) cyclopentene in the presence of n-butyllithium which were then reacted with Ph2PCl or Cy2PCl, respectively. The bis(phosphine)ligands were oxidised with H2O2, sulfurated by S8 and selenated by Se and their structures were characterized. 相似文献
In this paper, Ni0.6Mn0.2Co0.2(OH)2 precursors with several different morphologies and particle sizes are mixed with Li2CO3 and heat treated for 5, 7.5 and 10 h. The effects of the precursor properties on the degree of lithiation, electrochemical properties and volumetric capacities of lithiated product are compared. Based on the characterization results, a small (3 μm), narrow span precursor can be lithiated in a short period of time (5 h) and has good initial discharge capacity (185 mA h g??1) and capacity retention (93% for 55 cycles). In contrast, a large wide-span precursor requires over 10 h for full lithiation. A highly porous precursor can be lithiated faster than traditional large wide-span materials, and has low cation mixing and good crystallinity. However, the volumetric energy density of porous material is low after lithiation compared to the other tested materials. Capacity retention after washing correlated with crystallographic properties of the sample.
Methyl 6,9,12-octadecatrienoate-15,15,16,16-d4 was obtained by Wittig coupling between 6,6,7,7-tetradeutero-3-nonenyltriphenylphosphonium iodide, 8, and the aldehyde ester,
methyl 9-oxo-6-nonenoate. Methyl 6-oxohexanoate, obtained by ozonolysis of cyclohexene, was coupled in a Wittig reaction with
[2-(1,3-dioxan-2-yl)ethyl]triphenylphosphonium bromide to give methyl 8-dioxanyl-6-octenoate. This compound was transacetalized
to methyl 9,9-dimethoxy-6-nonenoate, which was then hydrolyzed to the aldehyde ester. For the preparation of compound 8, the
tetrahydropyranyl ether of 2-pentynol was deuterated with deuterium gas and tris-(triphenylphosphine)chlororhodium. The tetradeuterated
tetrahydropyranyl ether was converted to the bromide with triphenylphosphine dibromide, and the bromide was coupled with 3-butynol
by means of lithium amide in liquid ammonia to give 3-nonynol-6,6,7,7-d4. Hydrogenation over Lindlar's catalyst converted the deuterated alkynol to 3-nonenol-6,6,7,7-d4. This deuterated alkenol was converted to the bromide with triphenylphosphine dibromide, then to the iodide with sodium iodide
in acetone, and finally to 8 with triphenylphosphine in acetonitrile. Methyl 6,9,12,15-octadecatetraenoate-12,13,15,16-d4 was obtained by Wittig coupling between methyl 9-oxo-6-nonenoate and 3,4,6,7-tetradeutero-3,6-nonadienyltriphenylphosphonium
iodide, 15. For the preparation of compound 15, the bromide obtained from the reaction of 2-pentynol with triphenylphosphine
dibromide was coupled with 3-butynol with lithium amide in liquid ammonia. The resulting 3,6-nonadiynol was deuterated with
deuterium gas in the presence of P-2 nickel, and the resultant deuterated nonadienol was converted to 15 through the bromide
and iodide. The final products were separated from isomers formed during the synthetic sequences by silver resin chromatography. 相似文献
