Specific discharging capacities of 403.1 and 241.9 mAh/g could be delivered at current densities of 100 and 800 mA/g after 25 cycles, respectively. Improvement in electrochemical performance could be attributed to the steric effect of complex matrix composed of Li

Prussian blue (PB) is a kind of metal-organic framework complex that displays wide application prospect as cathode material for aqueous sodium-ion batteries. In this study, PB composites were prepared by a single source method. Furthermore, effects of reaction temperature, time and concentration of hydrochloric acid on PB morphology and electrochemical performance were systematically investigated. The results showed that crystallinity and electrochemical stability of PB were improved by increasing reaction temperature. The aqueous sodium-ion battery with PB synthesized at 80 ℃ as cathode material displayed a capacity retention of 93.9% after 100 cycles. The particle size of PB grew with the extension of reaction time until 6 h. It’s exhibited that the extended reaction time was beneficial to the cycle performance of device fabricated with PB prepared for 10 h, delivering 90% capacity retention after 100 cycles. Increment of the hydrochloric concentration acid changed the surface morphology, and thus improved electrochemical performance of PB. When the concentration of hydrochloric acid reached 0.20 mol/L, a capacity of 67.5 mAh/g could be maintainted after 100 discharge-charge. This work may provide theoretical and experimental gaidence for preparing high performance PB-based aqueous sodium-ion batteries..

Lithium sulfur battery has attracted extensive attention as highly promising next generation of rechargeable battery. However, lithium sulfur battery, especial the sulfur cathode, is still under experimental exploration, and the commercial carbon fiber felt is rarely reported to apply in the sulfur cathode. Herein, the flexible carbon-fiber- supported carbon-sulfur electrode was prepared, and its physical properties and electrochemical performance were characterized. The results showed that the interface resistance was reduced from 97.9 Ω to 22.6 Ω, due to porous three-dimensional network of the carbon fiber felt and micropore of the porous carbon which benefited energy density of the battery and conductivity of the sulfur cathode. Furthermore, the initial discharge capacity at 0.05
C
rate was 996.7 mAh/g and the discharge capacity at 2
C
rate after 140 cycles was 666.7 mAh/g when carbon fiber felt serves as current collector, while their counterparts with aluminum foil as the current collector were 772.9 and 471.6 mAh/g, respectively. Furthermore, the environmental-friend and low-cost binder LA132, super-P, and the ball-milling technique are beneficial to mass synthesis, suitable for the industrial production and the application of lithium sulfur battery..

Ag Doped Amorphous Carbon Films: Structure, Mechanical and Electrical Behaviors
Ren-De CHEN, Peng GUO, Xiao ZUO, Shi-Peng XU, Pei-Ling KE, and Ai-Ying WANG
By adjusting sputter current from 1.3 A to 2.0 A in reactive magnetron sputtering deposition processes, Ag doped amorphous carbon films (a-C:Ag) with doping content from 0.7at% to 41.4at% were prepared.

By adjusting sputter current from 1.3 A to 2.0 A in reactive magnetron sputtering deposition processes, Ag doped amorphous carbon films (a-C:Ag) with doping content from 0.7at% to 41.4at% were prepared. The influence of Ag content on structure, component, mechanical and electrical properties of a-C:Ag films were systematically studied. The results showed that Ag atoms were dissolved in amorphous carbon matrix at low Ag content (0.7at% to 1.2at%) conditions. However, Ag nanocrystal with a size around 6 nm formed when Ag content increased to 13.0at%. With the increase of Ag content, the size of sp
2
clusters in the amorphous carbon matrix increased while the structural disorder degree decreased. Stress test indicated that in the low Ag content range, Ag atoms were dissolved in carbon matrix which played a pivotal role in promoting relaxation of bond length and angle distortion, thereby the film stress was reduced. Ag atoms started to form Ag nanocrystals as the Ag content increased. As a result, film stress would be reduced due to release of excessive distortion by sliding and diffusion at the grain boundaries. When Ag content reached 37.8at%, a-C:Ag exhibited transition from metal to semiconductor characteristic near 11.6 K. However, as the Ag content increased to 41.4at%, the films displayed semiconducting characteristics in the whole test temperature range (2-400 K) and exhibited typical thermal activation mechanism within temperature range of 164-400 K..

A kind of hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) with high crystallinity was synthesized using magnesium borate nanosheets with petal morphology as the template and boron source while ammonia as the nitride source. The morphology and structure of the BNNSs were analyzed by SEM, TEM, XRD, Raman, and FT-IR. The results show that the BNNSs are a kind of single crystalline h-BN with a thickness of about 5 nm and a diameter of 150-300 nm, respectively. The BNNSs aggregate together and inherit the petal shape of magnesium borate. Then, BNNSs/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composite films containing different content of BNNSs were prepared. The results show that elastic modulus of the film containing 30% BNNSs is 39.8% higher than that of pure PVA films, while the in-plane thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity increase about 7 and 8 times, respectively, demonstrating the significant improvement to the thermal performance of PVA by adding this kind of BNNSs..

This study investigated the bioactivity and mechanical stability of hydroxyapatite (HA) ceramics under micro-vibration stress environment (MVS), and explored influence of physiological stress environment on osteoinductivity of HA ceramics. Results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and calcium ion release showed that MVS was beneficial for calcium ion re-deposition and bone-like apatite layer formation in HA with high micro-porosity ((29±1.2)%, (26.4±0.3)%, respectively), while calcium ion release of HA materials with a lower micro-porosity ((10.6±0.8)%) was promoted. Protein adsorption results displayed that 40 Hz MVS promoted while 60 Hz MVS significantly inhibited HA protein adsorption behavior. The compression tests demonstrated that stress environment of MVS did not affect the mechanical stability of the HA scaffolds. Our results suggested that stress environment is an important factor affecting the bioactivity and osteoinductivity of HA ceramics..

Morphology and phase makeup of initial powder and combustion products were analyzed by scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. Thermodynamic property of the alloy was analyzed using TG-DSC. The results show that the Al in the Mg-Al alloy powder can be completely transformed to AlN. Ignition temperature of the alloy is about 494.4℃. Once the alloy powder is ignited, self-sustained combustion in the powder can be observed. When combustion begins, Mg can rapidly vaporize and react with oxygen. This oxidation reaction can consume the oxygen around the particles, leading N

diffusing to the liquid Al layer. Combustion products of the alloy consist of two different layers.The upper white layer contains only MgO and the lower black layer contains only AlN. During synthetic process, the existence of Mg significantly promotes the nitridation of Al..

Silicon has the highest theoretical lithium insertion specific capacity, more than ten times the theoretical specific capacity of graphite electrode material, and low delithiation potential, with abundant resources and good rate characteristics, high-energy-density lithium-ion battery silicon-based materials have become hot spots in application fields such as electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems. However, it will cause powdering and structural collapse of the silicon electrode material due to its large volume expansion effect in the process of delithiation and lithium insertion. In addition, the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer on the surface of silicon is repeatedly formed in the electrolyte, which increases the polarization and reduces the coulomb efficiency, eventually leading to deterioration of electrochemical performance. In order to solve the above problems and realize the commercial application of silicon electrodes. This paper systematically summarizes the work to solve the volume effect in charge and discharge process through the selection and structural design of silicon-based materials, and deeply analyzes and discusses the preparation methods, electrochemical properties and corresponding mechanisms of representative silicon-based composite materials, focusing on silicon-carbon composites and SiO
