Transport Properties and Cationic Substitutions in Sr<Subscript>2</Subscript>IrO<Subscript>4</Subscript>

We realized cationic substitutions in Sr₂IrO₄ and measured resistivity, thermoelectric power, and the Hall coefficient. A two-carrier model, reflecting the presence of thermally activated carriers at high temperature, qualitatively explains the behavior of the Hall coefficient of Sr_1.95La_0.05IrO₄ in comparison with Sr₂IrO₄. Concerning the substitution of Ir by different transition metals, Pt with 5d orbitals does not affect the transport properties, contrary to Ti and Rh with 3d and 4d orbitals, respectively. This may be explained by strong spin–orbit coupling involved in Ir and Pt, in comparison with 3d or 4d transition metals.

A Materials Perspective on Direct Recycling of Lithium-Ion Batteries: Principles,Challenges and Opportunities

As the dominant means of energy storage technology today, the widespread deployment of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) would inevitably generate countless spent batteries at their end of life. From the perspectives of environmental protection and resource sustainability, recycling is a necessary strategy to manage end-of-life LIBs. Compared with traditional hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical recycling methods, the emerging direct recycling technology, rejuvenating spent electrode materials via a non-destructive way, has attracted rising attention due to its energy efficient processes along with increased economic return and reduced CO₂ footprint. This review investigates the state-of-the-art direct recycling technologies based on effective relithiation through solid-state, aqueous, eutectic solution and ionic liquid mediums and thoroughly discusses the underlying regeneration mechanism of each method regarding different battery chemistries. It is concluded that direct regeneration can be a more energy-efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable way to recycle spent LIBs compared with traditional approaches. Additionally, it is also identified that the direct recycling technology is still in its infancy with several fundamental and technological hurdles such as efficient separation, binder removal and electrolyte recovery. In addressing these remaining challenges, this review proposes an outlook on potential technical avenues to accelerate the development of direct recycling toward industrial applications.     

Surface Oxygen Coordination of Hydrogen Bond Chemistry for Aqueous Ammonium Ion Hybrid Supercapacitor

Aqueous ammonium ion hybrid supercapacitor (A-HSC) combines the charge storage mechanisms of surface adsorption and bulk intercalation, making it a low-cost, safe, and sustainable energy storage candidate. However, its development is hindered by the low capacity and unclear charge storage fundamentals. Here, the strategy of phosphate ion-assisted surface functionalization is used to increase the ammonium ion storage capacity of an α-MoO₃ electrode. Moreover, the understanding of charge storage mechanisms via structural characterization, electrochemical analysis, and theoretical calculation is advanced. It is shown that NH₄⁺ intercalation into layered α-MoO₃ is not dominant in the A-HSC system; rather, the charge storage mainly depends on the adsorption energy of surface “O” to NH₄⁺. It is further revealed that the hydrogen bond chemistry of the coordination between “O” of surface phosphate ion and NH₄⁺ is the reason for the capacity increase of MoO₃. This study not only advances the basic understanding of rechargeable aqueous A-HSC but also demonstrates the promising future of surface engineering strategies for energy storage devices.     

面向增材制造的粉末束流对激光能量散射损失规律的理论研究

同步送粉激光增材制造是一种通过粉末添加方式快速制造实体零件的先进技术。在激光增材制造过程中, 激光与粉末束流将产生相互作用, 激光能量的损失是由于粉末束流对激光的散射作用。本文基于米氏散射理论建立数学模型, 研究粉末束流对激光能量的散射损失规律。结果表明: 激光能量散射损失与粉末颗粒物理特性、激光波长、粉末颗粒大小、送粉量等因素有关。粉末颗粒导电性能越好, 其对激光的散射损失越大;激光波长越长, 散射损失也越大;而在相同送粉量时, 粉末颗粒半径越小, 激光能量散射损失越大。从激光能量散射损失角度考虑, 激光增材制造宜选择短波长激光和大颗粒粉末。     

Nano-Engineered Carbon Fibre-Based Piezoelectric Smart Composites for Energy Harvesting and Self-Powered Sensing

The integration of piezoelectric materials onto carbon fiber (CF) can add energy harvesting and self-power sensing capabilities enabling great potential for “Internet of Things” (IoT) applications in motion tracking, environmental sensing, and personal portable electronics. Herein, a CF-based smart composite is developed by integrating piezoelectric poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT)/CuSCN-coated ZnO nanorods onto the CF surfaces with no detrimental effect on the mechanical properties of the composite, forming composites using two different polymer matrices: highly flexible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and more rigid epoxy. The PDMS-coated piezoelectric smart composite can serve as an energy harvester and a self-powered sensor for detecting variations in impact acceleration with increasing output voltage from 1.4 to 7.6 V under impact acceleration from 0.1 to 0.4 m s⁻². Using epoxy as the matrix for a CF-reinforced plastic (CFRP) device with sensing and detection functions produces a voltage varying from 0.27 to 3.53 V when impacted at acceleration from 0.1 to 0.4 m s⁻², with a lower output compared to the PDMS-coated device attributed to the greater stiffness of the matrix. Finally, spatially sensitive detection is demonstrated by positioning two piezoelectric structures at different locations, which can identify the location as well as the level of the impacting force from the fabricated device.     

Energy Transfer Induced by TADF Polymer Enables the Recycling of Excitons in Perovskite Solar Cells

Formamidinium lead triiodide (FAPbI₃) has been demonstrated as the most efficient perovskite system to date, due to its excellent thermal stability and an ideal bandgap approaching the Shockley-Queisser limit. Whereas, there are intrinsic quantum confinement effects in FAPbI₃, which lead to unwanted non-radiative recombination. Additionally, the black α-phase of FAPbI₃ is unstable under room temperature due to the significant residual tensile stress in the film. To simultaneously address the above issues, a thermally-activated delayed fluorescence polymer P1 is designed in the study to modify the FAPbI₃ film. Owing to the spectral overlap between the photoluminescence of P1 and absorption of the above-bandgap quantum wells of FAPbI₃, the Förster energy transfer occurs at the P1/FAPbI₃ interface, which further triggers the Dexter energy transfer within FAPbI₃. The exciton “recycling” can thus be realized, which reduces the non-radiative recombination losses in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Moreover, P1 is found to introduce compressive stress into FAPbI₃, which relieves the tensile stress in perovskite. Consequently, the PSCs with P1 treatment achieve an outstanding power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 23.51%. Moreover, with the alleviation of stress in the perovskite film, flexible PSCs (f-PSCs) also deliver a high PCE of 21.40%.
