Solid‐state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs) are identified as a highly promising candidate for next‐generation energy storage devices, yet they still face uncontrollable dendritic lithium (Li) growth originating from interfacial incompatibility. To address this issue, an “integration plasma (IP)” strategy for interlayer construction is proposed that integrates metal reduction and vapor deposition functions, featuring the ability to give a manipulable and quantifiable chemical regulation for controlling the surface concentration (Csurface) and the atomic ratio of the introduced metal element and electronegative element (ARE/M) on solid‐state electrolyte (SSE). This IP‐formed interlayer can in situ react with Li anode to synchronously produce metal‐Li alloy, Li salt and amorphous carbon, thus offering an “integrated function” to promote a spherical and hexagonal Li growth, preventing the dendrite propagation from SSE. When Csurface of metal elements and corresponding ARE/M is regulated as ≈1.13 nmol cm‐2 and ≈2.6, the IP‐modified SSE prolongs the lifespan of SSLMBs with LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cathode to over 1000 cycles with a low‐capacity attenuation of 0.03% per cycle, highlighting the multiply functions of IP to accelerate the practical application of SSLMBs.
The purpose is to optimize the catalytic performance of biochar (BC), improve the removal effect of BC composites on organic pollutants in wastewater, and promote the recycling and sustainable utilization of water resources. Firstly, the various characteristics and preparation principles of new BC are discussed. Secondly, the types of organic pollutants in wastewater and their removal principles are discussed. Finally, based on the principle of removing organic pollutants, BC/zero valent iron (BC/ZVI) composite is designed, among which BC is mainly used for catalysis. The effect of BC/ZVI in removing tetracycline (TC) is comprehensively evaluated. The research results reveal that the TC removal effect of pure BC is not ideal, and that of ZVI is general. The BC/ZVI composite prepared by combining the two has a better removal effect on TC, with a removal amount of about 275 mg/g. Different TC concentrations, ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), pH environment, tert-butanol, and calcium ions will affect the TC removal effect of BC composites. The overall effect is the improvement of the TC removal amount of BC composites. It reveals that BC has a very suitable catalytic effect on ZVI, and the performance of BC composite material integrating BC catalyst and ZVI has been effectively improved, which can play a very suitable role in wastewater treatment. This exploration provides a technical reference for the effective removal of organic pollutants in wastewater and contributes to the development of water resource recycling.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
