Synthesis of MoS2 and MoO2 for their applications in H2 generation and lithium ion batteries: a review

Abstract

Scientists increasingly witness the applications of MoS₂ and MoO₂ in the field of energy conversion and energy storage. On the one hand, MoS₂ and MoO₂ have been widely utilized as promising catalysts for electrocatalytic or photocatalytic hydrogen evolution in aqueous solution. On the other hand, MoS₂ and MoO₂ have also been verified as efficient electrode material for lithium ion batteries. In this review, the synthesis, structure and properties of MoS₂ and MoO₂ are briefly summarized according to their applications for H₂ generation and lithium ion batteries. Firstly, we overview the recent advancements in the morphology control of MoS₂ and MoO₂ and their applications as electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reactions. Secondly, we focus on the photo-induced water splitting for H₂ generation, in which MoS₂ acts as an important co-catalyst when combined with other semiconductor catalysts. The newly reported research results of the significant functions of MoS₂ nanocomposites in photo-induced water splitting are presented. Thirdly, we introduce the advantages of MoS₂ and MoO₂ for their enhanced cyclic performance and high capacity as electrode materials of lithium ion batteries. Recent key achievements in MoS₂- and MoO₂-based lithium ion batteries are highlighted. Finally, we discuss the future scope and the important challenges emerging from these fascinating materials.     

Influence of the copper ion on aging rate of oil-paper insulation in a power transformer

To identify the influence of copper ion on the aging rate of oil-paper insulation, accelerated thermal aging experiments on oil-paper insulation were designed and performed at two significant temperatures. A set of characteristic parameters, including dissolved gases, degree of polymerisation, furfural content, water content and acid number of oil, was tested. The experiments- results reveal that copper ion has a different influence on insulation paper and oil during the aging process of the insulation system. On the one hand, it delays the degradation of insulation paper, reducing the ratio of CO₂/CO by about 11% at 80%C and by more than 50% at 130%C. On the other hand, copper ion promotes the oxidation of oil and thus accelerates the aging rate.

Annealing process of fine grained co-stabilised (Y,Mg)-PSZ/MgAl2O4 ceramics

Abstract

Co-stabilised (Y,Mg) partially stabilised zirconia (PSZ) ceramics with MgAl₂O₄ spinel additions were produced, with industrial zirconia as the main starting material. Powders were prepared using a mechanical milling–mixing process. The effect of the annealing process on the mechanical properties, phase compositions, and microstructure of fine grained PSZ ceramics was investigated.     

ARGET ATRP合成大分子偶联剂PMMA-b-PTMSPMA及其对玻璃表面的接枝

Effect of carrier screening on ZnO-based resistive switching memory devices

The carrier screening effect occurs commonly in dielectric materials. It reduces the electric potential gradient, thus negatively affecting the functionality of resistive random access memory (RRAM) devices. An Au/ZnO film/Al-doped ZnO device fabricated in this work exhibited no resistive switching (RS), which was attributed to the carrier screening effect. Therefore, annealing was used for alleviating the screening effect, significantly enhancing the RS property. In addition, different on/off ratios were obtained for various bias values, and the screening effect was accounted for by investigating electron transport mechanisms. Furthermore, different annealing temperatures were employed to modulate the free carrier concentration in ZnO films to alleviate the screening effect. The maximal on/off ratio reached 10⁵ at an annealing temperature of 600 °C, yielding the lowest number of free carriers and the weakest screening effect in ZnO films. This work investigates the screening effect in RS devices. The screening effect not only modulates the characteristics of memory devices but also provides insight into the mechanism of RS in these devices.
