24 de ago. de 2010 · Abstract. Poly (3-docosoxy-4-methylthiophene) (PDMT) was synthesized and investigated. PDMT can form a mesophase by rapid quenching from the isotropic melt. Variable- temperature reflection and fluorescence spectroscopy of thin films and differential scanning calorimetry were used to study the thermal behavior of PDMT.

In your electric car’s battery, swapping an electrode with one made of silicon could let the battery store 10 times more energy. Why isn’t silicon used? It falls apart. Scientists designed binders, small molecules and polymers, to modify the surface chemistry of the silicon. The binders improved resilience to cycling. A binder-based layer was forme...
The research is developing a better understanding of modified silicon electrodes for lithium-ion batteries. The result? The work could lead to batteries that give electric vehicles a greater driving range.
Lithium-ion batteries with silicon anodes have a theoretical capacity 10 times higher than the most commonly used anodes. However, silicon electrodes suffer degradation during charging and discharging. The electrode contracts and expands during cycling, pulverizing active particles and destroying electrical contact. The volume changes break down an...

4 de dic. de 2018 · Recently, fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) and lithium difluoro (oxalato)borate (LiDFOB) have been reported to significantly improve the electrochemical performance of lithium metal anodes. This investigation focuses on exploring the synergy between LiDFOB and FEC in carbonate electrolytes for lithium metal anodes.
Satu Kristiina Heiskanen,1 Jongjung Kim,1 and Brett L. Lucht1,*. A solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is generated on the anode of lithium-ion bat-teries during the first few charging cycles. The SEI provides a passivation layer on the anode surface, which inhibits further electrolyte decomposition and af-fords the long calendar life required ...
