文摘The demand for high-energy-density sodium-ion batteries has driven research to increase the hard carbon(HC)plateau capacity(<0.1 V),but the plateau capacity-rate capability trade-off limits performance.We report a way to regulate the closed pore structure and improve the rate capability of HC by the addition of graphene oxide using an emulsification process.In a non-emulsion system,graphene oxide not only shortens ion diffusion paths by inducing the formation of flakelike HC but also significantly improves the rate performance by serving as conductive bridges within the carbon matrix.The prepared graphene/phenolic resin carbon composite has reversible capacities of 362,340,319,274,119,86,69 and 48 mAh g^(−1)at current densities of 0.02,0.05,0.1,0.2,0.5,1,2 and 5 A g^(−1),respectively.When emulsification is introduced,the graphene oxide acts as a nano-confinement template,guiding the cross-linking of phenolic resin to form uniformly sized closed pores.This composite electrode material has the highest plateau capacity of 268 mAh g^(−1)at 20 mA g^(−1).
文摘Biomass-derived hard carbons,usually prepared by pyrolysis,are widely considered the most promising anode materials for sodium-ion bat-teries(SIBs)due to their high capacity,low poten-tial,sustainability,cost-effectiveness,and environ-mental friendliness.The pyrolysis method affects the microstructure of the material,and ultimately its so-dium storage performance.Our previous work has shown that pyrolysis in a sealed graphite vessel im-proved the sodium storage performance of the car-bon,however the changes in its microstructure and the way this influences the sodium storage are still unclear.A series of hard carbon materials derived from corncobs(CCG-T,where T is the pyrolysis temperature)were pyrolyzed in a sealed graphite vessel at different temperatures.As the pyrolysis temperature increased from 1000 to 1400℃ small carbon domains gradually transformed into long and curved domains.At the same time,a greater number of large open pores with uniform apertures,as well as more closed pores,were formed.With the further increase of pyrolysis temperature to 1600℃,the long and curved domains became longer and straighter,and some closed pores gradually became open.CCG-1400,with abundant closed pores,had a superior SIB performance,with an initial reversible ca-pacity of 320.73 mAh g^(-1) at a current density of 30 mA g^(-1),an initial Coulomb efficiency(ICE)of 84.34%,and a capacity re-tention of 96.70%after 100 cycles.This study provides a method for the precise regulation of the microcrystalline and pore structures of hard carbon materials.
文摘Objectives:Suicidal ideation(SI)among university students is a growing concern,influenced by anxiety,depression,and bullying.However,family closeness and peer support may act as protective factors,reducing the risk of SI.Therefore,this study aims to investigate the key factors influencing SI among university students,focusing on the effects of anxiety,depression,and bullying,along with the roles of family closeness and peer support.The research also explores the interactions and mechanisms between these variables.Methods:A sample of 318 university students was surveyed,evaluating six main factors:anxiety,depression,bullying,family closeness,peer support,and SI.Using the Structural Equation Modeling(SEM)and Artificial Neural Networks(ANN)approach,both compensatory and non-compensatory relationships were examined.Results:Anxiety,depression,and bullying significantly contribute to SI,with depression mediating the link between anxiety,bullying,and SI.Additionally,family closeness moderates the effects of anxiety and bullying on SI,while peer supportmoderates the effects of depression and bullying.Themultilayer perceptron analysis identifies peer support as the most influential predictor,followed by bullying,family closeness,depression,and anxiety.Conclusion:The study identifies anxiety,depression,and bullying as key factors influencing suicidal ideation(SI)among university students.Family closeness and peer support act as protective factors,moderating the effects of these variables on SI.

文摘Hard carbon(HC)is considered the most promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)due to its high costeffectiveness and outstanding overall performance.However,the amorphous and intricate microstructure of HC poses significant challenges in elucidating the structure-performance relationship,which has led to persistent misinterpretations regarding the intrinsic characteristics of closed pores.An irrational construction methodology of closed pores inevitably results in diminished plateau capacity,which severely restricts the practical application of HC in high-energy-density scenarios.This review provides a systematic exposition of the conceptual framework and origination mechanisms of closed pores,offering critical insights into their structural characteristics and formation pathways.Subsequently,by correlating lattice parameters with defect configurations,the structure-performance relationships governing desolvation kinetics and sodium storage behavior are rigorously established.Furthermore,pioneering advancements in structural engineering are critically synthesized to establish fundamental design principles for the rational modulation of closed pores in HC.It is imperative to emphasize that adopting a molecular-level perspective,coupled with a synergistic kinetic/thermodynamic approach,is critical for understanding and controlling the transformation process from open pores to closed pores.These innovative perspectives are strategically designed to accelerate the commercialization of HC,thereby catalyzing the sustainable and high-efficiency development of SIBs.

文摘Despite progress in suppressing polysulfide shuttling,this challenge persists in lithium-sulfur battery commercialization.While existing strategies emphasize polysulfide adsorption and catalytic conversion,the critical role of diffusion kinetics in conversion–deposition processes remains underexplored.We design an MXene-based array architecture integrating 2D structural advantages and strong polysulfide affinity to regulate diffusion pathways.Combined experimental and multiscale computational studies reveal diffusion-mediated conversion-deposition dynamics.The sodium alginate-constructed MXene array enables three synergistic mechanisms:(1)Enhanced ion/electron delocalization reduces diffusion barriers,(2)Continuous ion transport channels facilitate charge transfer,and(3)Exposed polar surfaces promote polysulfide aggregation/conversion.Synchrotron X-ray tomography coupled with comprehensive electrochemical analyses reveals distinct mechanistic differences between conversion and deposition processes arising from diffusion heterogeneity.In situ characterization techniques combined with DFT simulation calculations demonstrate that diffusion kinetics exerts differential regulatory effects on these coupled electrochemical processes,exhibiting particular sensitivity toward the deposition mechanism.This work provides fundamental insights that reshape our understanding of diffusion-mediated phase transformation in complex multi-step electrochemical systems,offering new perspectives for advanced electrode architecture design in next-generation energy storage technologies.

文摘The low-voltage plateau capacity,which is highly related to the internal closed pores in hard carbon(HC),is the main contributor to the total capacity in sodium-ion batteries.However,the formation mechanism of closed pores and modification strategies at the molecular level in HC polymer precursors remain poorly understood.Furthermore,the practical applications of HCs are significantly impeded by their low initial coulombic efficiency(ICE).In this study,the intramolecular heteroatom doping(IHP)effect was proposed to facilitate the formation of closed pores in polymer-derived HC for the first time by grafting sulfonyl,ether,and carbonyl groups between benzene rings.As a result,the optimized HC sample showed an increased closed pore volume and low Na^(+)adsorption energy,which delivered a reversible capacity of 307.9 mAh·g^(-1)and superior rate capability.Through further optimized presodiation,the formed presodiated HC featuring a thin,smooth,and dense solid electrolyte interface film exhibited a remarkably enhanced ICE of 94.4%and enhanced cycling stability(93.6%over 3000 cycles).This study provides an in-depth understanding of the formation mechanisms of closed pores via IHP engineering and develops a new synergistic strategy involving presodiation to prepare highly stable HC anodes.

文摘In order to improve the efficient and high-value recycling utilization rate of waste red bricks from construction waste,this study crushed and ground the waste red bricks to produce recycled brick powder(RBP)with different fineness,used the Andreasen model to explore the influence of RBP on the compact filling effect of cementitious material system based on the basic characteristics of RBP.The influence of grinding time(10,20,30 min)and content(0%,5%,10%,15%,20%)of RBP on the macroscopic mechanical properties of cementitious materials was investigated.We analyzed the significant impact of RBP particle characteristics on the compressive strength of the specimen with the aid of grey entropy theory,and revealed the influence mechanism of RBP on the microstructure of cementitious materials by scanning electron microscope(SEM)and nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR).The results show that the fineness of RBP after grinding is smaller than that of cement.The fineness of recycled brick powder increases gradually with the extension of grinding time,which is manifested as the increase of<3μm particles and the decrease of>18μm particles.Compared with the unitary cement cementitious material system,the particle gradation of the RBP-cement binary cementitious material system is closer to the closest packing state.With the increase of RBP content and grinding time,the compactness of the binary cementitious system gradually decreases,indicating that the incorporation of RBP reduces the mechanical strength of the specimen.The results of grey entropy show that the specific surface area D(0.1)and<45μm particles are the significant factors affecting the mechanical properties of cementitious materials mixed with RBP.RBP mainly affects the macroscopic properties of cementitious materials by affecting the internal compactness,the number of hydration products and the pore structure.The results of SEM show that when the RBP content is less than 15%,the content of C-S-H in cement paste increase,and the content of Ca(OH)2 decreases,and the content of C-S-H decreases and the content of Ca(OH)2 increases when the RBP content is more than 15%.The NMR results show that with the extension of grinding time,the pore size of micropore increases gradually,that of middle-small pores decreases gradually,and that of large pores remains unchanged.With the increase of RBP content,the micropores first decrease and then increase,and the middle-small pores and large pores gradually decrease.In summary,the compactness of cementitious material system can be improved by adjusting the fineness of RBP.Considering the performance of cementitious materials and the utilization rate of RBP,it is recommended that the grinding time of RBP is 20 min and the content is 10%-15%.
