Hydrothermal ore zoning belongs essentially to infiltration metasomatic zoning, it results from the formation and propagation of dissolution/precipitation waves through Permeable media. The authors apply the theory of coupled infiltration and dissolution/precipitation reactions in Physicochemical hydrodynamics to studying the structural characteristics of dissolution/precipitation waves, and apply furthermore the coherence principle in dynamic theory of multicomponent coupled systems to revealing the dynamic mechanisms of their formation. The results of investigation verify and develop . C. 's theory of infiltration metasomatic zoning,on the one hand, raising it from the qualitative, equilibrium thermodynamic basis to the quantitative dynamic level;on the other hand, and more importantly, applying theories of Physicochemical hydrodynamics and dynamics of multicomponent coupled systems to bringing to light the dynamic mechanisms of formation of the structure of hydrothermal ore zoning, and advancing a theory of hydrothermal ore zoning, putting forward new ideas on the nature of the problem of hydrothermal ore zoning, the essence of hydrothermal ore zoning and the structural characteristics and mechanisms of formation of hydrothermal ore zoning.展开更多

文摘This work investigated the original microstructure of cold-worked alumina-forming austenitic steel,along with its precipitation and dissolution corrosion behaviors in lead-bismuth eutectic with 10-8 wt.%oxygen at 600℃,using solution-annealed steel for comparison.Anomalously,cold-worked steel presented milder corrosion compared to solution-annealed steel,with average corrosion depths of 314.3 and 401.0μm after 1700 h exposure.Cold working-induced de-twinning transformed the annealing twin boundaries into normal high-angle grain boundaries(NGBs),increasing NGBs proportion from 36%to 89%.The increased NGBs provided more nucleation sites for intergranular barriers composed of alternate NiAl and M23C6 precipitates,thus better obstructing the dissolution attack.

文摘Complex physical and chemical reactions during CO_(2)sequestration alter the microscopic pore structure of geological formations,impacting sequestration stability.To investigate CO_(2)sequestration dynamics,comprehensive physical simulation experiments were conducted under varied pressures,coupled with assessments of changes in mineral composition,ion concentrations,pore morphology,permeability,and sequestration capacity before and after experimentation.Simultaneously,a method using NMR T2spectra changes to measure pore volume shift and estimate CO_(2)sequestration is introduced.It quantifies CO_(2)needed for mineralization of soluble minerals.However,when CO_(2)dissolves in crude oil,the precipitation of asphaltene compounds impairs both seepage and storage capacities.Notably,the impact of dissolution and precipitation is closely associated with storage pressure,with a particularly pronounced influence on smaller pores.As pressure levels rise,the magnitude of pore alterations progressively increases.At a pressure threshold of 25 MPa,the rate of change in small pores due to dissolution reaches a maximum of 39.14%,while precipitation results in a change rate of-58.05%for small pores.The observed formation of dissolution pores and micro-cracks during dissolution,coupled with asphaltene precipitation,provides crucial insights for establishing CO_(2)sequestration parameters and optimizing strategies in low permeability reservoirs.

文摘The structural changes in the CaO-SiO_(2)-Al_(2)O_(3)-MgO slag system with varying CaO contents were investigated through molecular dynamics(MD)simulations,and its effect on the dissolution behavior of alumina inclusions was characterized by the Kullback-Leibler(KL)divergence.The slag structure analysis revealed that the[AlO]tetrahedral structure was the primary network structure in the slag.With increasing the CaO content,the non-bridge oxygen(NBO)content in the slag structure increases,and the bridge oxygen(BO)content decreases,thereby reducing the complexity of the slag network structure.Raman spectroscopy detection verifies the results of the MD simulations.The results indicated that the dissolution rate of alumina inclusions accelerates with increasing the CaO content in the slag,owing to the reduced complexity of the slag network structure and the enhanced interatomic interactions.The simulation results for the dissolution of alumina inclusions were consistent with theoretical calculations based on the slag inclusion capacity and the dimensionless dissolution rate of inclusions.Radial distribution function analysis demonstrated that the interaction between atoms in the slag system and alumina inclusions strengthens,increasing the dissolution rate of alumina inclusions.The[AlO_(6)]octahedral structure of the alumina inclusions is disrupted,forming BO structures,which in turn enhances the complexity of the slag network structure,slowing the dissolution rate of alumina inclusions.In contrast,the slag system with a higher CaO content has a relatively simpler network structure,promoting faster alumina inclusion dissolution.

文摘Examining carbonate dissolution kinetics at mineral-water interface is crucial to understand numerous environmental and geochemical processes,including global carbon cycling,CO_(2)sequestration in deep geological reservoirs,and trace elements release in terrestrial and aquatic environments.Here we explored the effect of circumneutral to alkaline pH solutions(pH 6-11)on dissolution kinetics of pure dolomite and Ca and Mg release stoichiometry in flow-through reactor experiments at 25±1℃.Results revealed that the dolomite dissolution rates obtained from effluent Ca and Mg concentrations(R_(Ca)and R_(Mg)in mol/cm^(2)/s)were dependent on input solution pH and HCO_(3)^(-)log activity.The pH dependence of dissolution rates showed two distinct trends,i.e.,at circumneutral pH ranging between 6 and 8,the dissolution rate decreased with increasing pH,with minimum rate at pH 8.While in the highly alkaline pH range(pH 9-11),the dolomite dissolution rate increased with an increasing pH.Irrespective of the input pH,the dolomite dissolution rates indicated a reverse relationship with HCO_(3)^(-)log activity,with the lowest dissolution rate(R Ca=3.80×10^(-12)mol/cm^(2)/s)at pH 8 where HCO_(3)^(-)log activity attained the highest value(-3.957).The lower R Ca and R Mg obtained at pH 8 compared to all the other pH could possibly be attributed to an inhibition caused by high HCO_(3)^(-)log activity in solution at this pH.Dolomite dissolution rates were non-stoichiometric at all the experimental pH values,showing higher preferential Ca over Mg release(R_(Ca)>R_(Mg))whereas an opposite trend was observed at pH 8,with R_(Ca)<R_(Mg)at the steady state.Saturation index values calculated using geochemical speciation modelling were positive for Mg-bearing minerals(brucite,dolomite,artinite)at alkaline pH of 10-11,indicating favourable conditions for their precipitation under studied conditions.This study provides insights on the significance of log ion activities of HCO_(3)^(-)and Me-OH^(+)under varying pH for elucidating the dissolution mechanism of dolomite in circumneutral to alkaline aqueous environments.

文摘As the carrier of charge storage,the electrode determines the efficiency of the energy conversion reaction between the battery and the substance.However,with the continuous development of scientific research,electrode preparation is still facing complex technical problems,and it is difficult to achieve a balance in performance,cost,and technology.Based on the ion dissolution and deposition behavior of Mn^(2+)/MnO_(2) and Al^(3+)/Al,a novel cathode-free aqueous ion dissolution/deposition battery is designed,which can contribute 15 mAh at 16 cm^(2) in a voltage window of 0.5-1.8 V.The charge storage and the attenuation mechanism are systematically investigated.The battery model with compensable electrolyte was constructed,and the cycle characteristics of the cathode-free aqueous ion dissolution/deposition battery were optimized,which could achieve 1000 h continuous operation.This system provides a low-cost and high-safety solution for future high-energy density and large-scale energy storage.Future research will focus on optimizing electrolytes,controlling deposition morphology,and improving interface stability to further promote the commercialization of cathode-free batteries.

文摘Nanofiltration(NF) technology,with its capacity for nanoscale filtration and controllable selectivity,holds significant promise in diverse applications.However,the current upper bound of permeance and selectivity of NF membranes is intrinsically constrained by the morphology and structure of the polyamide(PA) selective layer.This issue arises because NF membranes typically exhibit relatively smooth nodular structures,which theoretically impede efficient water transport.In this study,we enhanced the formation of nanobubbles by synergistically regulating with surfactant and low temperatures,resulting in the fabrication of PA NF membranes with a crumpled morphology.We observed that lower temperatures promote enhanced gas solubility in the aqueous phase,facilitating increased nanobubble formation through the foaming effect of surfactant sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate(SDBS).Consequently,this resulted in the creation of PA NF membranes with more crumpled structures and superior performance,with pure water permeance reaching 36.25 ± 0.42 L m^(-2)h^(-1)bar^(-1),representing an improvement of 14.47 L m^(-2)h^(-1)bar^(-1)compared to the control group.Additionally,it maintains a high Na_(2)SO_(4) rejection rate of97.00 % ± 0.58 %.The PA NF membranes produced by eliminating nanobubbles and free interfaces exhibited a smooth structure,whereas introducing nanobubbles(through Na HCO_(3) addition,N_(2) pressurization,and ultrasonication) resulted in the formation of crumpled membranes.This emphasized that the large amount of nanobubbles generated by SDBS and low temperature in the interfacial process played a critical role in shaping crumpled PA NF membranes and enhancing membrane performance.This approach has the potential to provide valuable insights into customizing the structural design of TFC PA NF membranes,contributing to further advancements in this field.

文摘The water-quenched(WQ)2195 Al−Li alloy was subjected to stretching at different temperatures,from room temperature(RT)to−196℃(CT),to investigate the effect of cryogenic deformation on the aging precipitation behaviors and mechanical properties.The precipitation kinetics of the T1 phase and the microstructures in peak aging state were investigated through the differential scanning calorimetric(DSC)tests and electron microscopy observation.The results show that−196℃deformation produces a high dislocation density,which promotes the precipitation of the T1 phase and refines its sizes significantly.In addition,the grain boundary precipitates(GBPs)of−196℃-stretched samples are suppressed considerably due to the high dislocation density in the grain interiors,which increases the ductility.In comparison,the strength remains nearly constant.Thus,it is indicated that cryogenic forming has the potential to provide the shape and property control for the manufacture of critical components of aluminum alloys.

文摘Enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation(EICP)is a potential ground improvement method that can reduce the permeability of sands.However,the traditional mathematical models are hard to accurately predict the permeability of EICP-treated sands.In this study,the mathematical model was established for predicting the permeability of EICP-treated sands based on Kozeny-Carman equation.The effects of calcium carbonate precipitation on the porosity,tortuosity,and specific surface area of the EICP-treated sands were considered in the model.To validate the model,the bio-cemented sand column tests with different grain size distributions(coarse,medium,and fine sands)and treatment numbers(6,8,and 10 times)were conducted.The calcium carbonate content(CCC)and permeability of EICP-treated sands were measured.The validation of the model was confirmed through a comparative analysis of theoretical and experimental results.Furthermore,the impacts of porosity,particle size,CCC,and specific surface area on the hydraulic conductivity of EICP-treated sands were analyzed.The results showed that the model can reflect the hydraulic conductivity of EICP-treated sands under different particle size distributions and degrees of cementation,demonstrating broad applicability.Parametric analysis indicated the hydraulic conductivity gradually decreases with increasing CCC and specific surface area.Conversely,the hydraulic conductivity gradually increases with increasing porosity(n)and particle size(d50),with porosity exhibiting a significantly higher sensitivity than particle size.In summary,this study contributes theoretical foundations for the practical implementation of EICP technology in reducing soil permeability.

文摘Manganese is a major impurity in acidic vanadium-bearing leaching solutions,but its effects on vanadium precipitation via hydrolysis and acidic ammonium salts remain unclear.In this study,vanadium-bearing leachates with varying manganese concentrations(VL-cMn)were prepared through calcium,a calcium-manganese composite,and manganese-based roasting of vanadium slag(VS)to investigate the influence of manganese on vanadium precipitation behavior during hydrolysis precipitation(HP)and ammonium salt precipitation(AP),as well as the microscopic characteristics and purity of the resulting V_(2)O_(5) products.The results showed that increasing the pH mitigated the negative effects of Mn on the V precipitation rate during HP.However,as the manganese concentration increased from 5.69 to 15.38 g/L,the V precipitation rate gradually declined at higher temperatures and longer reaction times.The precipitates exhibited increased microstructural density,which might had contributed to the formation of Mn-bearing phases.Additionally,the average grain size of V_(2)O_(5) was reduced and the particles were increasingly agglomerated,leading to a 2.55%decrease in product purity.For AP,as manganese concentration increased,raising the pH counteracted the negative impact of Mn on the V precipitation rate and reduced the required amount of ammonium sulfate.Moreover,Mn was unevenly adsorbed on the surface of the precipitates.Although V_(2)O_(5) grains gradually shrank and became denser,there was no significant effect on the final product purity,which remained above 99.3%.In conclusion,roasting with added manganese salts influenced the hydrolysis of vanadium but had no significant effect on acidic ammonium salt precipitation.

文摘Enzyme-Induced Carbonate Precipitation(EICP)is an innovative technique to improve soil strength and reduce permeability.However,the use of EICP for reinforcing underwater sand beds remains largely unexplored.To advance EICP implementation in various geotechnical applications,this paper develops a model box system to investigate the effectiveness of the EICP technique in reinforcing underwater sand beds.An"injection-extraction"system is designed to facilitate the flow of the EICP solution through underwater sand layers.Key parameters,including conductivity,pH,and Ca^(2+)concentration of the solution,are measured and analyzed.Electrical resistivity tomography(ERT)is utilized to evaluate the reinforcement effect in the underwater sand bed.The permeability of the model is tested to verify the feasibility of EICP technology for strengthening underwater sands.Furthermore,scanning electron microscope(SEM)is performed to investigate the growth mechanisms of calcium carbonate(CaCO_(3))crystals.The results show that the permeability of the model decreases from 1.28×10^(-2)m/s to 9.66×10^(-5)m/s,representing a reduction of approximately three orders of magnitude.This verifies that the EICP technology can greatly reduce the permeability of underwater sand beds.With increasing grouting cycles,the resistivity of the underwater sand initially decreases and then increases.This variation in sand resistivity is significantly influenced by the ion concentration in the solution,resulting in marked differences in resistivity at various depths and positions within the sand.The findings from this study offer a theoretical basis for the application of EICP technology in reinforcing seabed foundations and supporting marine infrastructure such as offshore pipelines,wind turbines,and oil platforms.

文摘Precipitation events,which follow a life cycle of initiation,development,and decay,represent the fundamental form of precipitation.Comprehensive and accurate detection of these events is crucial for effective water resource management and flood control.However,current investigations on their spatio-temporal patterns remain limited,largely because of the lack of systematic detection indices that are specifically designed for precipitation events,which constrains event-scale research.In this study,we defined a set of precipitation event detection indices(PEDI)that consists of five conventional and fourteen extreme indices to characterize precipitation events from the perspectives of intensity,duration,and frequency.Applications of the PEDI revealed the spatial patterns of hourly precipitation events in China and its first-and second-order river basins from 2008 to 2017.Both conventional and extreme precipitation events displayed spatial distribution patterns that gradually decreased in intensity,duration,and frequency from southeast to northwest China.Compared with those in northwest China,the average values of most PEDIs in southeast China were usually 2-10 times greater for first-order river basins and 3-15 times greater for second-order basins.The PEDI could serve as a reference method for investigating precipitation events at global,regional,and basin scales.

文摘Northeast China(NEC),a critical agricultural and ecological zone,has experienced intensified hydrological variability under global warming,with cascading impacts on food security and ecosystem resilience.This study utilized observational data and two new generation reanalysis products(i.e.,the fifth major global reanalysis produced by ECMWF(ERA5)and the Japanese Reanalysis for Three Quarters of a Century(JRA-3Q))to investigate the shift changes in precipitation in NEC around 2000 and associated water vapor transport.The analysis identified a pivotal interdecadal shift in 1998/99,transitioning from moderate increases(17.5 mm/10 yr during 1980-1998)to accelerated but more variable precipitation growth(85.4 mm/10 yr post-1999).While the mean precipitation during the post-shift period decreased,enhanced anticyclonic circulation amplified moisture divergence over continental NEC,redirecting vapor flux toward coastal regions.Crucially,trajectory analysis demonstrated regime-dependent moisture sourcing:midlatitude westerlies dominated during wet extremes(44% of trajectories in 1998),whereas East Asian monsoon flows prevailed in drought years(36% of trajectories in 2007).The post-1998 period exhibited increased reliance on localized recycling(45%of mid-tropospheric trajectories),reflecting weakened monsoonal inflow.These findings highlight NEC’s growing vulnerability to competing moisture pathways and atmospheric blocking-a dual mechanism that explains rising extremes despite declining mean precipitation.By reconciling dataset discrepancies(ERA5 vs.JRA-3Q trends)and elucidating circulation-precipitation linkages,this work provides actionable insights for climate-resilient agriculture in NEC’s water-stressed ecosystems.

文摘To reveal the influence mechanism of Nb/Ti microalloying on the mechanical property of ferritic stainless steel,the grain size,phase composition,microhardness,mechanical properties and fracture morphology are characterized and analyzed for ferritic stainless steel with single addition of Ti stabilizing element and composite addition of Nb and Ti stabilizing elements.The influence mechanism of Ti and Nb stabilizing elements is elucidated on microstructure and mechanical properties of ferritic stainless steel.Results indicate that the grains are bigger(20-60µm)for ferritic stainless steel containing 0.09 wt.%Ti(F-Ti-ss).The average grain size is about 43.9µm.Meanwhile,there are many granular TiN precipitates with big size.For ferritic stainless steel with Nb and Ti stabilizing elements(F-Nb-Ti-ss),the grains are small(8-22µm),and average grain size is about 17.3µm.There are a few granular TiN precipitates with small size.Furthermore,many nanoscale(Fe,Cr,Nb)C phases precipitate at grain boundary,which plays a role in refining grain size.Compared with mechanical properties of F-Ti-ss(506 MPa and 28.2%),both the ultimate tensile strength and elongation are improved for F-Nb-Ti-ss(573 MPa and 30.5%).The ultimate tensile strength is increased by 13.2%.The main reason is that grains are obviously refined and a large number of nanoscale phases precipitate at grain boundary for F-Nb-Ti-ss.Therefore,strengthening effect is obvious and grain deformation is more uniform during tensile test.

文摘This study investigated the characteristics and mechanisms of summer regional persistent extreme precipitation events(RPEPEs)over South China(SC)modulated by distinct intensity regimes of 10-30-day intraseasonal oscillation(ISO).Diagnostic analyses revealed that the spatiotemporal evolution of RPEPEs exhibits robust phase-locking with the 10-30-day intraseasonal precipitation.By classifying RPEPEs into strong-ISO(SRPEPE)and weak-ISO(WRPEPE)composites based on the amplitude of 10-30-day filtered precipitation,we demonstrate a 14.6%enhancement in peak precipitation intensity during SRPEPEs compared to WRPEPEs.These distinct precipitation regimes are governed by fundamentally different Rossby wave teleconnection patterns over Eurasia.During SRPEPEs,a robust southeastward-propagating 10-30-day Rossby wave train originating from the Barents Sea traverses midlatitude Eurasia,effectively perturbing the northwestern Pacific upper-level circulation and establishing a favorable dynamic environment over SC.In contrast,WRPEPEs are associated with weaker eastward-propagating wave trains constrained along the subtropical jet stream.The horizontal convergence of background moisture driven by 10-30-day winds significantly amplifies lower-tropospheric humidity during SRPEPEs.The thermal advection of background temperature by 10-30-day geostrophic winds enhances baroclinic instability and vertical motion,intensifying precipitation under these moisture conditions.

文摘China launched its first spaceborne Precipitation Measurement Radar(PMR)on the FY-3G satellite in April 2023.To achieve the scientific goal of measuring the three-dimensional precipitation structure,evaluating the quantitative measurement ability of the PMR is critical.China operates more than 250 weather radars over the mainland.Consistency of the spaceborne radar with ground-based radars will enhance precipitation measurement ability,especially over oceans and mountains where observations are sparse.Additionally,the spaceborne radar can be used to evaluate the spatial and temporal homogeneity of the ground-based radar network.This paper focuses on comparing the PMR onboard the FY-3G satellite with S-band China New Generation Weather Radars(CINRADs).A comparison algorithm between the PMR and CINRADs has been developed,incorporating detailed quality control,attenuation correction,data optimization,spatiotemporal matching,non-uniform beam filling constraint,uniformity constraint,and frequency correction.The matched data in typical months of four seasons were selected to carry out the comparison.The data consistency between the PMR and CINRADs was analyzed.The correlation coefficient is 0.87,the deviation is 0.89 dB,and the standard deviation is 2.50 dB,based on 98226 matching samples.The results show the radar reflectivity of the PMR is quite comparable to that of the CINRADs,demonstrating that the PMR data quality is satisfactory and can be used to verify and correct data consistency among multiple ground-based radars.This work also paves the way for data fusion and joint application of satellite and ground radars in the future.

文摘Using multi-source reanalysis data,this study examines the relationship between the tropical Pacific-Atlantic SST Dipole Mode(TPA-DM)and summer precipitation in North China(NCSP)on the interannual timescale during the period of 1979-2022.The results show that the TPA-DM,the dominant pattern of interannual variability in the tropical Pacific and Atlantic regions,exhibits a significant negative correlation with NCSP.The positive phase of TPA-DM induces subsidence over the Maritime Continent through a zonal circulation pattern,which initiates a Pacific-Japan-like wave train along the East Asian coast.The circulation anomalies lead to moisture deficits and convergence subsidence over North China,leading to below-normal rainfall.Further analysis reveals that cooler SST in the Southern Tropical Atlantic facilitates the persistence of the TPA-DM by stimulating the anomalous Walker circulation associated with wind-evaporation-SST-convection feedback.

文摘The northeastern permafrost region of China is one of the most vulnerable areas to climate warming in midlatitude areas.Despite this,the specific pathways of water vapor circulation and transport in this area remain poorly understood.Additionally,there is ongoing debate on whether the oxygen isotope of precipitation(δ^(18)O_(p))is primarily influenced by the temperature or the precipitation amount effects.Tree-ring samples were collected from various sites and tree species across the region,and 12 stable oxygen isotopes(δ18Oc)series constructed to investigate the water vapor signals embedded within.Our findings revealed consistentδ18Oc variations across different sites and species,reflecting relative humidity signals during the growing season(June to September)(r=−0.764,P<0.001,n=40).By applying an improved model to simulateδ^(18)O_(p),a“temperature effect”was identified.Bothδ18Oc andδ^(18)O_(p) provided valuable insights into the regional water vapor circulation,withδ18Oc offering a stronger climate signal.A binary linear regression model further revealed thatδ^(18)O_(p) had a greater influence onδ18Oc than relative humidity.The regional climate is primarily driven by the East Asian summer monsoon and large-scale water vapor circulation associated with the El Niño-Southern Oscillation.Because of future warming and drying trends,trees in this region are expected to face increasing drought stress.

文摘Global land monsoon precipitation(GLMP)is highly sensitive to changes in interhemispheric thermal contrast(ITC).Amplified interhemispheric asymmetries of GLMP due to enhanced ITC driven by high-level anthropogenic emissions are expected to simultaneously increase the probability of regional floods and droughts,threatening ecosystems within global terrestrial monsoon regions and the freshwater supply for billions of residents in these areas.In this study,the responses of GLMP to the evolution of ITC toward the carbon neutrality goal are assessed using multimodel outputs from a new model intercomparison project(CovidMIP).The results show that the Northern Hemisphere-Southern Hemisphere(NH-SH)asymmetry of GLMP in boreal summer weakens during the 2040s,as a persistent reduction in well-mixed greenhouse gas(WMGHG)emissions leads to a downward trend in the ITC after 2040.At the same time,the reduction in WMGHG emissions dampens the Eastern Hemisphere-Western Hemisphere(EH-WH)asymmetry of GLMP by inducing La Niña-like cooling and enhancing moisture transport to Inner America.The resulting increases in land monsoon precipitation(LMP)may alleviate drought under the global warming scenario by about 19%-25%and 7%-9%in the WH and SH monsoon regions,respectively.However,a persistent reduction in aerosol emissions in Asia will dominate the increases in LMP in this region until the mid-21st century,and these increases may be approximately 23%-60%of the growth under the global warming scenario.Our results highlight the different rates of response of aerosol and WMGHG concentrations to the carbon neutrality goal,leading to various changes in LMP at global and regional scales.

文摘Interfacial engineering is crucial for developing high-performance Ni-rich layered cathodes for lithiumion batteries.Here,we introduce an interfacial precipitation(IP)strategy,guided by first-principles calculations,to create a functionally graded cathode during precursor synthesis.Based on thermodynamic principles of bulk insolubility and phase separation kinetics,we achieved the selective precipitation of Co onto the surface of a Ni-rich hydroxide precursor.Upon high-temperature lithiation,this engineered precursor spontaneously forms a unique,bifunctional Co-rich spinel-like layer on the final LiNi_(0.88)Co_(0.06)Mn_(0.06)O_(2)(NCM)cathode.This architecture suppresses detrimental Li/Ni cation mixing and protects the active material.Consequently,the IP-driven NCM cathode demonstrates vastly superior rate capability,delivering 140.8 m A h g^(-1)at 5C,compared to 112.9 mA h g^(-1)for its conventionally prepared counterpart.This enhancement is attributed to significantly lower charge-transfer resistance and faster kinetics.Remarkably,in a full-cell configuration,the IP-driven NCM cathode maintains 81.5%capacity after 1000 cycles at an aggressive 5C rate.This work presents a thermodynamically driven,scalable strategy for designing advanced cathodes with exceptional high-power performance and stability.
