In the composite having 3wt% （weight ratio） SiCp （the 3SiCp/ Fe composite）, the interface reaction products of Fe3 Si, the carbon precipitates, and Fe3 C or pearlite were generated. Fe3 Si coustructs the bright matrix of the reaction zone in the original situation of the SiCp. The carbon precipitates are randondy embedded in the reaction zone. Fe3 C or pearlite exists at the grain boundaries of the Fe matrix. As increasing the SiCp concentration in the SiCp/ Fe composite, the inteusity of the interface reaction between SiCp and Fe iacreases. After the 10SiCp/ Fe composite （ having 10wt .% SiCp ） sintered at 1423 K for 1 h, all of SiCp are decomposed, and replaced by the reaction zone composed of Fe3 Si and the carbon precipitates. No Fe3 C or pearlite was genertaed during the reaction. The effects of the techniques of oxidizing of SiCp , coating SiCp by interaction with the Cr powder, and alloying the Fe matrix by adding the Cr element on the interface stability of the SiCp/ Fe composite system were also investigated, respectitely. The oxide membrane and the coating layer on SiCp can inhibit the interface reaction between SiCp and Fe by isolating SiCp from the Fe matrix during sintering. The interface reaction does not occur in the 3 SiCp/ Fe- 10 Cr composite but in the 3 SiCp/ Fe-5 Cr composite. In the SiCp/ Fe-Cr alloy composites, the interface reaction between SiCp and the Fe- Cr alloys is weaker than that between SiCp and Fe . The Cr element behaves as a diluent, it causes a redaction in the interface reaction, which is proportional to the amount of the element added.展开更多

In t...The well cementing is important during the extended reach well drilling and the completion, whereas the displacement efficiency and the interface stability are important to guarantee the success of the cementing. In this paper, the interface stability of the cement slurry is simulated using the computational fluid dynamics software. The calculation results indicate that during the displacement, the length of the displacement interface increases with the increase of the deviation angle. The larger the eccentricity, the more significant the velocity difference, along with a longer displacement interface length, a less stable interface, and a lower displacement efficiency. Therefore, to guarantee the cementing quality and maintain a high displacement efficiency, the eccentricity should be controlled within 0.5. Application of a casing centralizer will dramatically improve the interface stability, decrease the dilution zone length of the interface and thus, is beneficial to the slurry cementing and displacement. The simulations are verified with an average absolute deviation less than 3.76% and the 45？ helix angle of the rigid centralizer is recommended. Combining the data of an extended reach well on-site, methods are proposed for improving the displacement efficiency and the interface stability during the well cementing and displacement with complex boreholes. These numerical methods can be used to provide some theoretical guidance for designing the cementing of an extended reach well.展开更多

S...A model is developed based on the time-related thermal diffusion equations to investigate the effects of twodimensional shear flow on the stability of a crystal interface in the supercooled melt of a pure substance. Similar to the three-dimensional shear flow as described in our previous paper, the two-dimensional shear flow can also be found to reduce the growth rate of perturbation amplitude. However, compared with the case of the Laplace equation for a steady-state thermal diffusion field, due to the existence of time partial derivatives of the temperature fields in the diffusion equation the absolute value of the gradients of the temperature fields increases, therefore destabilizing the interface. The circular interface is more unstable than in the case of Laplace equation without time partial derivatives. The critical stability radius of the crystal interface increases with shearing rate increasing. The stability effect of shear flow decreases remarkably with the increase of melt undercooling.展开更多

In the c...From the macroscopic point of view, expressions involving reservoir and operational parameters are established for investigating the stability of moving interface in piston- and non-piston-like displacements. In the case of axisymmetrical piston-like displacement, the stability is related to the moving interface position and water to oil mobility ratio. The capillary effect on the stability of moving interface depends on whether or not the moving interface is already stable and correlates with the wettability of the reservoir rock. In the case of non-piston-like displacement, the stability of the front is governed by both the relative permeability and the mobility ratio.展开更多

文摘Quasi-solid-state lithium metal battery is a promising candidate for next generation high energy density and high safety power supply.Despite intensive efforts on electrolytes,uncontrolled interfacial reactions on lithium with electrolyte and patchy interfacial contacts still hinder its practical process.Herein,we bring in rationally designed F contained groups into polymer skeleton via in-situ gelation for the first time to establish quasi-solid-state battery.This method achieves a capacity retention of 90%after 1000 cycles at 0.5C with LiFePO_(4)cathodes.The interface constructed by polymer skeleton and reaction with–CF_(3)lead to the predicted solid electrolyte interface species with high stability.Furthermore,we optimize molecular reactivity and interface stability with regulating F contained end groups in the polymer.Comparisons on different structures reveal that high performance solid stable lithium metal batteries rely on chemical modification as well as stable polymer skeleton,which is more critical to construct robust and steady SEI with uniform lithium deposition.New approach with functional groups regulation proposes a more stable cycling process with a capacity retention of 94.2%at 0.5C and 87.6%at 1C after 1000 cycles with LiFePO_(4) cathodes,providing new insights for the practical development of quasi-solid-state lithium metal battery.

文摘A method to predict the solid-liquid interface stability during unidirectional solidification is developed by coupling M-S model with CALPHAD method. The method was applied to AI-0.38 Zn and AI-0.34 Si-0.14 Mg (wt pct) alloys, and the predicted results were compared with some former experimental data of the two alloys. The good agreement between the calculation results and the experimental data demonstrates the superiority of the present method to the classical one based on constant parameter assumptions.

文摘Halide solid-state electrolytes(SSEs)have become a new research focus for all-solid-state batteries because of their significant safety advantages,high ionic conductivity,high-voltage stability,and good ductility.Nonetheless,stability issues are a key barrier to their practical application.In past reports,the analysis of halide electrolyte stability and its enhancement methods lacked relevance,which limited the design and optimization of halide solid electrolytes.This review focus on stability issues from a chemical,electrochemical,and interfacial point of view,with particular emphasis on the interaction of halide SSEs with anode and cathode interfaces.By focusing on innovative strategies to address the stability issue,this paper aims to further deepen the understanding and development of halide all-solid-state batteries by proposing to focus research efforts on improving their stability in order to address their inherent challenges and match higher voltage cathodes,paving the way for their wider application in the next generation of energy storage technologies.

文摘The interface problems in zinc-ion batteries severely limit their electrochemical performance,even in hydrogel(HG)electrolyte(HE).Herein,a strategy of reconfiguring the hydrogen bond networks by thermal gelation is proposed to enhance the battery interface stability.The strategy introduces methyl cellulose into acrylamide,which can effectively stabilize the electrode interface and reconstruct the hydrogen bond networks of the electrolyte through its unique thermos-gelation property.Methylcellulose is dissolved by heating and cooled to form gel.This thermal gelation strategy formed hydrogen bonds with a large amount of free water and methyl cellulose,which not only reduced the water activity but also enhanced the intermolecular polymerization network and also promoted the solvation of Zn2+.More importantly,the symmetric batteries with HE-HG hydrogel electrolyte exhibited a long cycling life of 8000 h.The Zn||Zn0.25V2O5(Zn||ZVO)battery displays the low-capacity decay rate for 800 cycles at 1 C at−20°C.The pouch battery maintains a capacity of 255 mAh·g^(−1) after 100 cycles under 2.5 A·g−1 at−20°C.This study provides a new way to enhance the interfacial stability,which helps to realize the scale application of flexible zinc-ion batteries.

文摘The interfacial microstructures and configurations directly affect the comprehensive properties of the composites,but their interfacial adhesion mechanism is complicated to expound by experimental methods.In this work,based on the stacking sequence of the Mg/Mg_(2)Y interface models,nine different Mg/Mg_(2)Y interface configurations with top site,bridge site,and hollow site(HCP)under Mg1,Mg_(2),and Y terminations were successfully constructed and systematically explored by first-principles calculations.The results showed that the Mg_(2)Y(0001)surface with Y termination is the most stable when the yttrium chemical potential()is less than-1.09 eV;otherwise,Mg_(2)Y(0001)surface with Mg1 termination is the most stable.The seven-layer Mg(0001)and eleven-layer Mg_(2)Y(0001)slabs are employed to reflect the bulk-like interior properties.Additionally,the Mg(0001)/Mg_(2)Y(0001)with the Y-HCP stacking has the largest interface thermodynamic stability with the value of 2.383 J/m^(2) in all interface configurations owing to its largest work of adhesion.In addition,the interfacial energy of Y-HCP stacking is significantly smaller than those of Mg1-HCP when is approximately less than-0.55 eV,showing that it is more stable.The thermodynamic stability of Mg/Mg_(2)Y with Y-HCP is due to Mg-Y chemical bonds formed between Mg and Y atoms.Lastly,the Mg/Mg_(2)Y interfaces are strong interfaces based on the Griffith fracture theory.

文摘The well cementing is important during the extended reach well drilling and the completion, whereas the displacement efficiency and the interface stability are important to guarantee the success of the cementing. In this paper, the interface stability of the cement slurry is simulated using the computational fluid dynamics software. The calculation results indicate that during the displacement, the length of the displacement interface increases with the increase of the deviation angle. The larger the eccentricity, the more significant the velocity difference, along with a longer displacement interface length, a less stable interface, and a lower displacement efficiency. Therefore, to guarantee the cementing quality and maintain a high displacement efficiency, the eccentricity should be controlled within 0.5. Application of a casing centralizer will dramatically improve the interface stability, decrease the dilution zone length of the interface and thus, is beneficial to the slurry cementing and displacement. The simulations are verified with an average absolute deviation less than 3.76% and the 45？ helix angle of the rigid centralizer is recommended. Combining the data of an extended reach well on-site, methods are proposed for improving the displacement efficiency and the interface stability during the well cementing and displacement with complex boreholes. These numerical methods can be used to provide some theoretical guidance for designing the cementing of an extended reach well.

文摘Increasing the density and thickness of electrodes is required to maximize the volumetric energy density of lithium-ion batteries for practical applications.However,dense and thick electrodes,especially highmass-content(>50 wt%) silicon anodes,have poor mechanical stability due to the presence of a large number of unstable interfaces between the silicon and conducting components during cycling.Here we report a network of mechanically robust carbon cages produced by the capillary shrinkage of graphene hydrogels that can contain the silicon nanoparticles in the cages and stabilize the silicon/carbon interfaces.In situ transmission electron microscope characterizations including compression and tearing of the structure and lithiation-induced silicon expansion experiments,have provided insight into the excellent confinement and buffering ability of this interface-strengthened graphene-caged silicon nanoparticle anode material.Consequently,a dense and thick silicon anode with reduced thickness fluctuations has been shown to deliver both high volumetric(>1000 mAh cm^-3) and areal(>6 mAh cm^-2)capacities together with excellent cycling capability.

文摘Layered oxide cathodes with high Ni content promise high energy density and competitive cost for Li-ion batteries(LIBs).However,Ni-rich cathodes suffer from irreversible interface reconstruction and undesirable cracking with severe performance degradation upon long-term operation,especially at elevated temperatures.Herein,we demonstrate in situ surface engineering of Ni-rich cathodes to construct a dual ion/electron-conductive NiTiO 3 coating layer and Ti gradient doping(NC90–Ti@NTO)in parallel.The dual-modification synergy helps to build a thin,robust cathode–electrolyte interface with rapid Li-ion transport and enhanced reaction kinetics,and effec-tively prevents unfavorable crystalline phase transformation during long-term cycling under harsh environments.The optimized NC90–Ti@NTO delivers a high reversible capacity of 221.0 mAh g^(-1) at 0.1C and 158.9 mAh g^(-1) at 10C.Impressively,it exhibits a capacity retention of 88.4%at 25?C after 500 cycles and 90.7%at 55?C after 300 cycles in a pouch-type full battery.This finding provides viable clues for stabilizing the lattice and interfacial chemistry of Ni-rich cathodes to achieve durable LIBs with high energy density.

文摘A model is developed based on the time-related thermal diffusion equations to investigate the effects of twodimensional shear flow on the stability of a crystal interface in the supercooled melt of a pure substance. Similar to the three-dimensional shear flow as described in our previous paper, the two-dimensional shear flow can also be found to reduce the growth rate of perturbation amplitude. However, compared with the case of the Laplace equation for a steady-state thermal diffusion field, due to the existence of time partial derivatives of the temperature fields in the diffusion equation the absolute value of the gradients of the temperature fields increases, therefore destabilizing the interface. The circular interface is more unstable than in the case of Laplace equation without time partial derivatives. The critical stability radius of the crystal interface increases with shearing rate increasing. The stability effect of shear flow decreases remarkably with the increase of melt undercooling.

文摘Silicon(Si)is a competitive anode material owing to its high theoretical capacity and low electrochemical potential.Recently,the prospect of Si anodes in solid-state batteries(SSBs)has been proposed due to less solid electrolyte interphase(SEI)formation and particle pulverization.However,major challenges arise for Si anodes in SSBs at elevated temperatures.In this work,the failure mechanisms of Si-Li_(6)PS_(5)Cl(LPSC)composite anodes above 80℃are thoroughly investigated from the perspectives of interface stability and(electro)chemo-mechanical effect.The chemistry and growth kinetics of Lix Si|LPSC interphase are demonstrated by combining electrochemical,chemical and computational characterizations.Si and/or Si–P compound formed at Lix Si|LPSC interface prove to be detrimental to interface stability at high temperatures.On the other hand,excessive volume expansion and local stress caused by Si lithiation at high temperatures damage the mechanical structure of Si-LPSC composite anodes.This work elucidates the behavior and failure mechanisms of Si-based anodes in SSBs at high temperatures and provides insights into upgrading Si-based anodes for application in SSBs.

Further, several important conclusions on effect of particle property on growth and propagation of disturbance of interface of two-phase jet and particle disturbance property me presented on the basis of analyses of the obtained stability curves and particle-gas disturbance velocity ratio curves. These important conclusions can play a guiding role in studying development of two-phase jet and executing artificial controls over it in project practice.

文摘From the macroscopic point of view, expressions involving reservoir and operational parameters are established for investigating the stability of moving interface in piston- and non-piston-like displacements. In the case of axisymmetrical piston-like displacement, the stability is related to the moving interface position and water to oil mobility ratio. The capillary effect on the stability of moving interface depends on whether or not the moving interface is already stable and correlates with the wettability of the reservoir rock. In the case of non-piston-like displacement, the stability of the front is governed by both the relative permeability and the mobility ratio.

文摘Sulfide-based all-solid-state lithium batteries(ASSLBs) with nickel-rich oxide cathodes are emerging as primary contenders for the next generation rechargeable batteries,owing to their superior safety and energy density.However,the all-solid-state batteries with nickel-rich oxide cathodes suffer from performance degradation due to the reactions between the highly reactive surface oxygen of the cathode and the electrolyte,as well as the instability of the bulk oxygen structure in the cathode.Herein,we propose a synergistic modification design scheme to adjust the oxygen activity from surface to bulk.The LiBO_(2)coating inhibits the reactivity of surface lattice oxygen ions.Meanwhile,Zr doping in the bulk phase forms strong Zr-O covalent bonds that stabilize the bulk lattice oxygen structure.The synergistic effect of these modifications prevents the release of oxygen,thus avoiding the degradation of the cathode/SE interface.Additionally,the regulation of surface-to-bulk oxygen activity establishes a highly stable interface,thereby enhancing the lithium ion diffusion kinetics and mechanical stability of the cathode.Consequently,cathodes modified with this synergistic strategy exhibit outstanding performance in sulfide-based ASSLBs,including an ultra-long cycle life of 100,000 cycles,ultra-high rate capability at 45C,and 85% high active material content in the composite cathode.Additionally,ASSLB exhibits stable cycling under high loading conditions of 82.82 mg cm^(-2),achieving an areal capacity of 17.90 mA h cm^(-2).These encouraging results pave the way for practical applications of ASSLBs in fast charging,long cycle life,and high energy density in the future.

文摘Solid-state batteries(SSBs)with thermal stable solid-state electrolytes(SSEs)show intrinsic capacity and great potential in energy density improvement.SSEs play critical role,however,their low ionic conductivity at room temperature and high brittleness hinder their further development.In this paper,polypropylene(PP)-polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF)-Li_(1.3)Al_(0.3)Ti_(1.7)(PO_(4))_(3)(LATP)-Lithium bis(trifluoromethane sulphonyl)imide(LiTFSI)multi-layered composite solid electrolyte(CSE)is prepared by a simple separator coating strategy.The incorporation of LATP nanoparticle fillers and high concentration LiTFSI not only reduces the crystallinity of PVDF,but also forms a solvation structure,which contributes to high ionic conductivity in a wide temperature.In addition,using a PP separator as the supporting film,the mechanical strength of the electrolyte was improved and the growth of lithium dendrites are effectively inhibited.The results show that the CSE prepared in this paper has a high ionic conductivity of 6.38×10^(-4)S/cm at room temperature and significantly improves the mechanical properties,the tensile strength reaches 11.02 MPa.The cycle time of Li/Li symmetric cell assembled by CSE at room temperature can exceed 800 h.The Li/LFP full cell can cycle over 800 cycles and the specific capacity of Li/LFP full cell can still reach 120 m Ah/g after 800 cycles at 2 C.This CSE has good cycle stability and excellent mechanical strength at room temperature,which provides an effective method to improve the performance of solid electrolytes under moderate condition.

文摘Quasi-solid-state composite electrolytes(QSCEs)show promise for high-performance solid-state batteries,while they still struggle with interfacial stability and cycling performance.Herein,a F-grafted QSCE(F-QSCE)was developed via copolymerizing the F monomers and ionic liquid monomers.The F-QSCE demonstrates better overall performance,such as high ionic conductivity of 1.21 mS cm^(-1)at 25℃,wide electrochemical windows of 5.20 V,and stable cycling stability for Li//Li symmetric cells over 4000 h.This is attributed to the significant electronegativity difference between C and F in the fluorinated chain(-CF_(2)-CF-CF_(3)),which causes the electron cloud to shift toward the F atom,surrounding it with a negative charge and producing the inductive effect.Furthermore,the interactions between Li^(+)and F,TFSI~-,and C are enhanced,reducing ion pair aggregation(Li^(+)-TFSI~--Li^(+))and promoting Li^(+)transport.Besides,-CF_(2)-CF-CF_(3)decomposes to form Li F preferentially over TFSI~-,resulting in better interfacial stability for F-QSCE.This work provides a pathway to enable the development of high-performance Li metal batteries.

文摘The polyvinyl carbonate(PVC)polymer solid electrolyte can be in-situ generated in the assembled lithium-ion battery(LIBs);however,its rigid characteristic leads to uneven interface contact between electrolyte and electrodes.In this work,trimethyl phosphate(TMP)is introduced into the precursor solution for in-situ generation of flexible PVC solid electrolyte to improve the interfacial contact of elec-trolyte and electrodes together with ionic conductivity.The PVC-TMP electrolyte exhibits good interface compatibility with the lithium metal anode,and the lithium symmetric battery based on PVC-TMP electrolyte shows no obvious polarization within 1000 h cycle.As a consequence,the initial interfacial resistance of battery greatly decreases from 278Ω(LiFePO_(4)(LFP)/PVC/Li)to 93Ω(LFP/PVC-TMP/Li)at 50℃,leading to an improved cycling stability of the LFP/PVC-TMP/Li battery.Such in-situ preparation of solid electrolyte within the battery is demonstrated to be very significant for commercial application.
