Sulfur–carbon composites were prepared by an in situ sulfur deposition route developed for the heterogeneous nucleation of sulfur into nanopores of conductive carbon black (CCB) by fumigation of Na2S4/CCB powder with HCl. The sulfur–carbon composites demonstrate enhanced reversible capacity and stable cycle performance.
By using a low rotation rate of 200 rpm with additional water cooling, a friction stir welded (FSW) joint with equal fatigue strength to the base material (BM) was obtained in 5083Al-H19 rolled plates due to the significantly decreased softening and the residual stress effect. Though the hardness value in the heat affected zone (HAZ) was a little lower than that of the BM, the decreased tensile effect of the residual stress in the HAZ greatly improved the fatigue performance, which was even higher than that of the BM, so the final fracture occurred at the BM. This study provides an effective strategy to enhance the fatigue performance of the FSW joints.
We evaluate (4-methoxy)-phenoxy pentafluorocyclotriphosphazene (4-MPPFPP) as a novel flame retardant and overcharge protection additive for lithium-ion batteries.
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.
