Performance of positive and negative electrodes in amorphous manganese oxide supercapacitor

Using potassium permanganate and acetic manganese as the reactants, amorphous manganese oxide was prepared with mechanochemical method. XRD was used for microstructure characterization, while cyclic voltammetry and constant current charge-discharge were used for electrochemical performance testing. The positive electrode （PE） and negative electrode （NE） were investigated respectively in amorphous manganese oxide supercapacitor, aiming to find their different performances in charging-discharging. The results show that the crystalline structure is destroyed in both the PE and NE material during charge-discharge process. Thereinto, the NE suffers a bit more seriously. When cycling, the PE potential scope diminishes while the NE potential scope enlarges. The increased inner resistance makes the NE curves almost bended to be a right angle, but not the PE curves. The cell＇s equivalent series resistance （ESR） is more dependent on the NE, and the capacitance is mainly determined by the rapid descent of the NE potential range. The capacitances of the NE are highly rate-dependent, decreasing from 121.3 to 53.1 F/g, by 56.2%, over the range of 5-25 mV/s. However, the PE appears to be weakly dependent and its capacitance is only dropped by 22.1%.     

微型点焊时电极表面熔敷TiC涂层对电极失效的影响

研究了表面处理对微型点焊镀镍钢板和镍板时电极失效的影响.结果表明:微型点焊镀镍钢板和镍板时电极的失效主要是电极头部的塑性变形以及电极和镀镍板之间局部焊接的断裂发生在电极表面而导致的电极磨损;表面涂敷TiC的CuCrZr电极的寿命(1 200点)是CuCrZr电极寿命(600点)的两倍,表面处理能提高电极寿命的主要原因是表面涂敷的TiC颗粒能阻碍电极和镀镍板之间的局部焊接,以及减小电极表面的塑性变形.

A novel electrochemical testing method and its use in the investigation of the self-repairing ability of temporarily protective oil coating

A novel electrochemical method using a wire beam electrode was developed to investigate self-repairing ability of temporarily protective oil coating. Results showed that inhibited oil coatings had the ability of self-repairing, and oil-soluble inhibitors had direct effect on the self-repairing ability of oil coating. The degradation processes that were related to the underfilm corrosion of oil coating could also be realized by investigating the self-repairing ability of oil coating.     

Pre-annealing effect of electroless Ni−B deposit as a diffusion barrier for electroplated Cu electrodes

Ni−B film of 1 μm thickness was electrolessly deposited on an electroplated Cu bus electrode. The film, which encapsulates the Cu bus electrodes, prevents Cu oxidation and serves as a diffusion barrier against Cu contamination of the transparent dielectric layer in a plasma display during the firing process at 580 °C. The microstructure of theas-deposited barrier film was amorphous phase and crystallized to Ni and Ni₃B after annealing at 300 °C. The good barrier properties observed here can be explained by Ni₃B precipitates at the grain boundaries acting as a fast diffusion path via pre-annealing at 300 °C before the firing process at 580 °C.     

Influence of addition of Cu（OH）2 to KOH alkaline electrolyte on electrochemical properties of La2Mg0.9Al0.1Ni7.5Co1.5 hydrogen storage alloy electrode

The influence of the addition of Cu（OH）2 to 6 mol/L KOH alkaline electrolyte on the electrochemical properties of La2Mg0.9Al0.1Ni7.5Co1.5 hydrogen storage alloy electrode was investigated by electron probe X-ray microanalysis（EPMA）, X-ray diffraction（XRD） and electrochemical measurements. EPMA micrographs and XRD patterns show that the surface of the hydride electrode is plated by metal copper film. The thickness and compactness of Cu film increase with the increment of charge-discharge cycle number. The copper film of the hydride electrode surface can keep the hydrogen storage alloy particle in the electrode interior from oxidizing availably. The addition of Cu（OH）2 to alkaline electrolyte lowers the activation property and the high rate dischargeability of the La2Mg0.9Al0.1Ni7.5Co1.5 hydride electrode, but has no negative effect on the maximum discharge capacity of the hydride electrode. Moreover, it is effective to improve the cyclic stability of the hydride electrode utilizing electrodeposit Cu film on theLa2Mg0.9Al0.1Ni7.5Co1.5 hydride electrodes surface.

The Information Navigation System

Abstract

Today's instruction and reference librarians face new challenges as the gatekeepers to information. The information explosion requires that we create strategies for our customers to navigate through a maze of material. This paper describes a reference tool developed at The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory to meet the information needs of our researchers and offers practical advice to other librarians interested in providing a similar service.
