As compared with the traditional additive friction stir deposition (AFSD), the auxiliary induction heat-source in HHSAM effectively improves the temperature and fluidity of plastic flow, which facilitates the formation and enrichment of residual Mg_(2)Si phases besides Al(Fe,Mn)Si, promotes the dynamic recrystallization and increases the bonding strength between layers during the deposition process. Therefore, the HHSAM depositions possess a more uniform structure, superior integral mechanical properties and corrosion resistance after heat treatment process. Moreover, HHSAMed specimens avoid abnormal grain growth (AGG) in heat treatment process, which is regularly encountered in the traditional AFSD. HHSAM method is proved to be a new solid-state additive manufacturing method with good developing prospects for fabricating alloy production with excellent properties in a high-efficiency manner.展开更多

Recycling oily CRM sludge can not only reduce pollution but also bring social and environmental benefits. In this study, using oily CRM sludge as sources of iron oxide, the strontium ferrite powders were synthesized in multiple steps including vacuum distillation, magnetic separation, oxidizing roasting, and solidstate reaction. The optimal technological conditions of vacuum distillation and oxidizing roasting were studied carefully. To consider the effects of Fe203/ SrCO3 tool ratio, calcination temperature, milling time and calcination time on magnetic properties of prepared strontium ferrite powders, the orthogonal experimental method was adopted. The maximum saturation magneti- zation (62.6 mA-m2.g-1) of the synthesized strontium ferrite powders was achieved at the Fe203/SrCO3 mol ratio of 6, 5 h milling time, 1250 ~C calcination temperature, and 1 h calcination time. Strontium ferrite powders syn- thesis method not only provides a cheap, high quality raw material for the production of strontium ferrite powders, but also effectively prevents the environmental pollution.展开更多

文摘[Background]Surfactin is a biosurfactant with remarkable surface/interfacial activity.Surfactin production suffers from high costs of carbon sources and severe foaming problem during fermentation.Unreasonable utilization of soybean residue(okara)can cause resource waste and environmental pollution.[Objective]To achieve sustainable production of surfactin and valueadded conversion of okara,we explored foam-free production of surfactin by Bacillus subtilis using okara as a low-cost substrate and evaluated its application prospects.[Methods]We evaluated and compared the feasibility of B.subtilis utilizing okara to synthesize surfactin through liquid and solid-state fermentation methods.Biosurfactants were extracted from solid-state culture via a weak alkaline water extraction method.The products were identified by HPLC-MS,and the physicochemical properties of the produced surfactin were analyzed.The solid-state medium for fermentation of okara was optimized by the response surface method.The viable count of B.subtilis in solid-state fermentation residue was determined by the plate colony counting method.[Results]The conversion rates of okara to surfactin were 0.6%−0.8%and 1.2%−1.5%in liquid and solid-state fermentation,respectively.Interestingly,solid-state fermentation of okara by B.subtilis achieved both high-yield and foam-free production of surfactin.Five surfactin homologues were produced from okara,mainly including surfactin-C13(34.16%),surfactin-C_(14)(23.95%),and surfactin-C_(15)(35.14%).The produced surfactin,with a critical micelle concentration of 35.0 mg/L,decreased water surface tension to(26.0±0.1)mN/m and emulsified crude oil with emulsifying activity index(EI24)(73.1±3.2)%.It was stable at 4−121℃,pH 5.0−11.0,and NaCl<150 g/L.Okara,NH_(4)Cl,and CaCl_(2)·2H_(2)O were significant components in the solid-state medium.The surfactin yield was increased by 52.1%through solid-state medium optimization.Adding wheat straw further enhanced surfactin production by improving aeration in the solid-state medium.B.subtilis AnPL-1 produced(263.2±7.8)mg surfactin in the optimized solid-state medium containing 14.8 g okara and 1.5 g wheat straw.The conversion rate of okara to surfactin was enhanced to 1.8%.In addition,the residue of solid-state fermentation was expected to be microbial fertilizer since it contained 4.27×10^(10)CFU/g of B.subtilis.[Conclusion]This study established a promising way for foam-free production of surfactin and value-added conversion of okara.

文摘Micro silicon(mSi)is a promising anode candidate for all-solid-state batteries due to its high specific capacity,low side reactions,and high tap density.However,silicon suffers from its poor electronic and ionic conductivity,which is particularly severe on a micro scale and in solid-state systems,leading to increased polarization and inferior electrochemical performance.Doping can broaden the transmission pathways and reduce the diffusion energy barrier for electrons and lithium ions.However,achieving effective,uniform doping in mSi is challenging due to its longer diffusion paths and higher energy barriers.Therefore,current doping research is primarily limited to nanosilicon.In this study,we successfully used a Joule-heating activated staged thermal treatment to achieve full-depth doping of germanium(Ge)in the mSi substrate.The Joule-heating process activated the mSi substrate,resulting in abundant vacancy defects that reduced the diffusion barrier of Ge into the silicon lattice and facilitated full-depth Ge doping.Surprisingly,the resulting Si-Ge anode exhibited significantly enhanced electrical conductivity(70 times).Meanwhile,the improved Li-ion conductivity in mSi and the reduced Young’s modulus enhance the electrode reaction kinetics and integrity after cycling.Ge-doped silicon anodes demonstrate excellent electrochemical performance when applied in sulfide solid-state half-cells and full-cells.This work provides substantial insights into the rational structural design of mSi alloyed anode materials,paving the way for the development of high-performance solid-state Li-ion batteries.

文摘The application of polymer electrolytes is expected to revitalize solidstate lithium metal batteries(SSLMBs)with high energy density and enhanced safety.However,practical deployment faces challenges from inadequate mechanical properties of electrolyte and unstable interfaces in high-voltage SSLMB s.Herein,we design an asymmetric composite solid-state electrolyte(ACSE)composed of a cellulose framework in situ self-assembled with zeolitic imidazolate framework nanosheets(CP@MOF)embedded in a polymer matrix.The CP@MOF network provides the electrolyte with an elastic modulus of 1.19 GPa,effectively resisting Li dendrite penetration.Furthermore,theoretical calculations guided the compositional design of ACSE to address asynchronous interfacial requirements at cathode/electrolyte and anode/electrolyte interfaces,facilitating stable interphase formation and thus ensuring prolonged cycling of SSLMBs.Consequently,Li symmetric cells achieve extended cycling stability(>5000 h)with minimal polarization.The NCM811|Li full cell maintains 84.9%capacity retention after 350 cycles.Notably,assembled NCM811 pouch cells deliver practical energy densities of 337.9 Wh kg^(-1)and 711.7 Wh L^(-1),demonstrating exceptional application potential.This work provides novel insights into the application of ACSEs for high-energy-density SSLMBs.

文摘Sulfide solid electrolytes are considered promising candidates for all-solid-state lithium batteries(ASSLBs)because of their high ionic conductivity and favorable mechanical properties.However,the uncontrolled growth of lithium dendrites at the lithium metal-electrolytes interface remains a major obstacle to their practical application.In this work,we introduced a scalable three-dimensional(3D)Li-B skeleton structure designed to suppress dendrite formation.The alloy anode demonstrates a lower Young's modulus,which helps alleviate the accumulation of localized stresses at the interface.Additionally,the 3D alloy anode provided a uniform potential distribution,which promoted homogeneous lithium deposition.Benefiting from these structural advantages,symmetric cells with the Li-B alloy achieved a high critical current density of 2.8 mA cm^(-2).Notably,Li-B‖LPSCI‖LVO-NCM ASSLBs exhibited long-term cycling stability,retaining 97.8%of their capacity after 1500 cycles at 2 C.Furthermore,ASSLBs incorporating the Li-B alloy showed cycling stability comparable with Li-In-based cells,while delivering a higher energy density.Overall,this work presents a practical strategy that may accelerate the commercialization of sulfide-based ASSLBs.

文摘Polyethylene oxide(PEO)-based solid polymer electrolytes(SPEs)have long faced limitations due to low ionic conductivity at ambient temperature and poor interfacial stability with lithium metal anodes.Here,we present a structural engineering strategy to address these challenges through shear-induced crystallization of concentrated PEO-LiTFSI solutions,which self-assemble into flower-like spherulites with radially aligned lamellar crystals.This unique structure creates continuous Li^(+)transport highways through densely packed crystalline domains,achieving a record-high ionic conductivity of 1.70×10^(-4) S/cm at 25℃ for pristine PEO-based systems.Strategic incorporation of lithium montmorillonite(MMTli,10 wt%)further optimizes the composite electrolyte,balancing high ionic conductivity(1.47×10^(-4) S/cm)with enhanced electrochemical stability(4.99 V vs.Li^(+)/Li),elevated Li^(+)transference number(0.62),and mechanical robustness.The composite electrolyte enables stable Li plating/stripping over 800 h in symmetric Li||Li cells and powers LiFePO_(4)||Li solid-state batteries with 82%capacity retention after 200 cycles at 0.2 C under ambient conditions.This work pioneers a scalable processing paradigm for crystalline polymer electrolytes,offering new insights into ion transport mechanisms and validating clay minerals as multifunctional additives for next-generation energy storage systems.
文摘All-solid-state batteries(ASSBs)represent a next-generation energy storage technology,offering enhanced safety,higher energy density,and improved cycling stability compared to conventional liquid-electrolyte-based lithium-ion batteries.Understanding and optimizing the complex chemistries and interfaces that underpin ASSB performance present significant challenges from both experimental and modeling perspectives.In particular,atomistic simulations face difficulties in capturing the complex structure,disorder,and dynamic evolution of materials and interfaces under practically relevant conditions.While established methods such as density functional theory and classical force fields have provided valuable insights,some questions remain difficult to address,particularly those involving large system sizes or long timescales.Recently,machine learning interatomic potentials(MLIPs)have emerged as a transformative tool,enabling atomistic simulations at length and time scales that were previously challenging to access with conventional approaches.By delivering near first-principles accuracy with much greater efficiency,MLIPs open new avenues for large-scale,long-timescale,and high-throughput simulations of solid-state battery materials.In this review,we present a comparative overview of density functional theory,classical force fields,and MLIPs,highlighting their respective strengths and limitations in ASSB research.We then discuss how MLIPs enable simulations that reach longer timescales,larger system sizes,and support high-throughput calculations,providing unique insights into ion transport and interfacial evolution in ASSBs.Finally,we conclude with a summary and outlook on current challenges and future opportunities for expanding MLIP capabilities and accelerating their impact in solid-state battery research.

文摘In the realm of large-scale power system energy storage,sodium-based batteries represent a cost-effective post-lithium energy storage technology,making inorganic solid-state sodium batteries(ISSSB)a critical branch of this development.Inorganic solid-state electrolytes(ISSEs)are the core components of sodium batteries;however,they face significant challenges such as insufficient ionic conductivity,interfacial instability,and dendrite growth,all of which severely hinder practical application.This review critically assesses experimental protocols and theoretical frameworks related to mainstream ISSEs and systematizes optimization strategies aimed at overcoming these challenges.Leveraging integrated insights from both experimental and computational studies,the review first categorizes and summarizes the primary types of ISSEs,namely oxide-,sulfide-,and halide-based electrolytes.It then details interfacial optimization strategies focused on addressing three core interfacial issues:ion transport barriers resulting from mechanical incompatibility,side reactions stemming from electrochemical mismatch,and dendrite formation.Finally,the review advocates prioritizing in-depth research that integrates experimental and theoretical approaches to establish a closed-loop methodology encompassing predictive design,multiscale investigation,mechanistic exploration,and high-throughput automated experimentation,with feedback-driven refinement.This work serves as a comprehensive reference and systematic roadmap for future research on solid-state electrolytes(SSEs).

文摘Thermoplastic polyurethane(TPU)consists of a hardsegment and a soft segment,where the former affords mechanical strength and thermalstability,while the latter provides a possibility of good ionic conductivity by promoting dissociation of ions from the lithium salt.Thus,TPU attracts a wide interest recently as a promising polymer electrolyte for solid-state lithium batteries.However,the relatively low ionic conductivity of TPU still restricts its actual applications due to the aggregation of polymer chains,which greatly reduces the dissociation of lithium salts.Herein,a strategy to address this challenge was adopted by in situ polymerization poly(ethylene glycol diacrylate)(PEGDA)in fully dispersed TPU.Hence a stretchable solid-state electrolyte(denoted as TELL and the contrast sample was denoted as TLL)with high ionic conductivity of 7.18×10^(-4) S/cm was obtained at room temperature.The Li^(+)transference number is 0.85 in Li|TELL|Li cell and can stably undergo charge-discharge cycles for 1400 h at a current density of 0.1 mA/cm^(2),while the contrast sample is short-circuited after 634 h of cycling.The LiFePO_(4)|TELL|Li cell achieves a capacity retention of 78.93%after 200 cycles at 2 C.The LiFePO_(4)|TLL| Li cellonly gains the capacity retention of 51.9%after 50 cyclesat the same current density.So,the method adopted here may provide a new approach to realize a flexible solid-state electrolyte with high ion-conductivity.

文摘Li_(7)La_(3)Zr_(2)O_(12)-based electrolytes have got great promise for solid-state lithium(Li)metal batteries because of their high elastic modulus and wide electrochemical stability window.However,the insufficient contact and heterogeneous Li deposition severely hinder their practical applications.Here,a flexible ternary polymethacrylate(PMA)matrix is designed to incorporate with Ta-doped Li_(7)La_(3)Zr_(2)O_(12)(LLZTO-PMA).The PMA matrix ensures excellent interfacial contact,while the synergistic effects of its polar carbonyl groups and its interaction with LLZTO creating fast interfacial Li^(+)pathways yield a high ionic conductivity of 0.266 mS cm^(-1)at 20℃.Moreover,the interaction between LLZTO and PMA matrix further guides the formation of a hybrid LiF/Li_(3)N-rich solid electrolyte interphase,which allows a fast Li^(+)interfacial kinetic due to its lowered Li^(+)diffusion barrier.Consequently,the LLZTO-PMA electrolyte contributes an ultra-stable Li anode interphase,attaining a lifespan exceeding 10,000 h in symmetric cells and retaining over 96%capacity after 600 cycles in full battery,demonstrating a breakthrough for high-performance solid-state batteries.

文摘Solid-state lithium batteries are considered one of the most promising next-generation energy storage technologies owing to their safety and high energy density.The key to solid-state lithium battery advancement lies in the design and optimization of suitable solid-state electrolytes.Among various solid-state electrolytes,solid-state composite polymer electrolytes offer the combined benefits of solid inorganic electrolytes and solid polymer electrolytes.In particular,Li1_(+x)Al_(x)Ti_(2-x)(PO_(4))_(3)(LATP)/polymer composite polymer electrolytes exhibit high ionic conductivity due to LATP and improved flexibility from the polymer matrix.These systems also demonstrate robust mechanical properties and excellent electrode contact.While recent reviews have primarily focused on the performance of LATP/polymer composite polymer electrolytes and the general effects of composite polymer electrolyte modifications for solid-state lithium battery applications,this review provides a concise overview of the Li^(+)transport mechanisms in LATP/polymer composite polymer electrolytes and strategies to enhance ionic conductivity.It highlights several modification approaches,including the use of fillers,additives,and LATP coatings,which markedly influence the performance of composite polymer electrolytes across different polymer matrices.Finally,the review addresses the challenges of LATP/polymer composite polymer electrolytes and outlines key research directions for developing advanced composite polymer electrolytes for high-performance solid-state lithium batteries.

文摘Ribonucleic acid(RNA)structures and dynamics play a crucial role in elucidating RNA functions and facilitating the design of drugs targeting RNA and RNA-protein complexes.However,obtaining RNA structures using conventional biophysical techniques,such as Xray crystallography and solution nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR),presents challenges due to the inherent flexibility and susceptibility to degradation of RNA.In recent years,solid-state NMR(SSNMR)has rapidly emerged as a promising alternative technique for characterizing RNA structure and dynamics.SSNMR has several distinct advantages,including flexibility in sample states,the ability to capture dynamic features of RNA in solid form,and suitability to character RNAs in various sizes.Recent decade witnessed the growth of ^(1)H-detected SSNMR methods on RNA,which targeted elucidating RNA topology and base pair dynamics in solid state.They have been applied to determine the topology of RNA segment in human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)genome and the base pair dynamics of riboswitch RNA.These advancements have expanded the utility of SSNMR techniques within the RNA research field.This review provides a comprehensive discussion of recent progress in ^(1)H-detected SSNMR investigations into RNA structure and dynamics.We focus on the established ^(1)H-detected SSNMR methods,sample preparation protocols,and the implementation of rapid data acquisition approaches.

文摘An approach called hybrid heat-source solid-state additive manufacturing (HHSAM) for fabricating multilayer AA6061 deposition with superior properties is proposed in this paper. As compared with the traditional additive friction stir deposition (AFSD), the auxiliary induction heat-source in HHSAM effectively improves the temperature and fluidity of plastic flow, which facilitates the formation and enrichment of residual Mg_(2)Si phases besides Al(Fe,Mn)Si, promotes the dynamic recrystallization and increases the bonding strength between layers during the deposition process. Therefore, the HHSAM depositions possess a more uniform structure, superior integral mechanical properties and corrosion resistance after heat treatment process. Moreover, HHSAMed specimens avoid abnormal grain growth (AGG) in heat treatment process, which is regularly encountered in the traditional AFSD. HHSAM method is proved to be a new solid-state additive manufacturing method with good developing prospects for fabricating alloy production with excellent properties in a high-efficiency manner.

文摘Oily cold rolling mill (CRM) sludge is one of the pollutants emitted by iron and steel plants. Recycling oily CRM sludge can not only reduce pollution but also bring social and environmental benefits. In this study, using oily CRM sludge as sources of iron oxide, the strontium ferrite powders were synthesized in multiple steps including vacuum distillation, magnetic separation, oxidizing roasting, and solidstate reaction. The optimal technological conditions of vacuum distillation and oxidizing roasting were studied carefully. To consider the effects of Fe203/ SrCO3 tool ratio, calcination temperature, milling time and calcination time on magnetic properties of prepared strontium ferrite powders, the orthogonal experimental method was adopted. The maximum saturation magneti- zation (62.6 mA-m2.g-1) of the synthesized strontium ferrite powders was achieved at the Fe203/SrCO3 mol ratio of 6, 5 h milling time, 1250 ~C calcination temperature, and 1 h calcination time. Strontium ferrite powders syn- thesis method not only provides a cheap, high quality raw material for the production of strontium ferrite powders, but also effectively prevents the environmental pollution.

文摘The formation mechanism of calcium vanadate and manganese vanadate and the difference between calcium and manganese in the reaction with vanadium are basic issues in the calcification roasting and manganese roasting process with vanadium slag.In this work,CaO–V_(2)O_(5) and MnO_(2)–V_(2)O_(5) diffusion couples were prepared and roasted for different time periods to illustrate and compare the diffusion reaction mechanisms.Then,the changes in the diffusion product and diffusion coefficient were investigated and calculated based on scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis.Results show that with the extension of the roasting time,the diffusion reaction gradually proceeds among the CaO–V_(2)O_(5) and MnO_(2)–V_(2)O_(5) diffusion couples.The regional boundaries of calcium and vanadium are easily identifiable for the CaO–V_(2)O_(5) diffusion couple.Meanwhile,for the MnO_(2)–V_(2)O_(5) diffusion couple,MnO_(2) gradually decomposes to form Mn_(2)O_(3),and vanadium diffuses into the interior of Mn_(2)O_(3).Only a part of vanadium combines with manganese to form the diffusion production layer.CaV_(2)O_(6) and MnV_(2)O_(6) are the interfacial reaction products of the CaO–V_(2)O_(5) and MnO_(2)–V_(2)O_(5) diffusion couples,respectively,whose thicknesses are 39.85 and 32.13μm when roasted for 16 h.After 16 h,both diffusion couples reach the reaction equilibrium due to the limitation of diffusion.The diffusion coefficient of the CaO–V_(2)O_(5) diffusion couple is higher than that of the MnO_(2)–V_(2)O_(5) diffusion couple for the same roasting time,and the diffusion reaction between vanadium and calcium is easier than that between vanadium and manganese.
文摘This study shows that sulfide solid-state electrolytes,β-Li_(3)PS_(4)and Li_(6)PS_(5)Cl,are flammable solids.Both solid-state electrolytes release sulfur vapor in a dry,oxidizing environment at elevated temperature<300℃.Sulfur vapor is a highly flammable gas,which then auto-ignites to produce a flame.This behavior suggests that an O_(2)-S gas-gas reaction mechanism may contribute to all-solid-state battery thermal runaway.To improve all-solid-state battery safety,current work focuses on eliminating the O_(2)source by changing the cathode active material.The conclusion of this study suggests that all-solidstate battery safety can also be realized by the development of solid-state electrolytes with less susceptibility to sulfur volatilization.
