Li-richl ayered oxides with high capacity are expected to be the next generation of cathode materials. However,t he irreversible and sluggish anionic redox reaction leads to the O 2 loss in the surface as well as the capacity and voltage fading.I nt he present study,asimple gas-solid treatment with ferrous oxalate has been proposed to uniformly coat at hin spinel phase layer with oxygen vacancy and simultaneously realize Fe-ion substitution in the surface.T he integration of oxygen vacancy and spinel phase suppresses irreversible O 2 release,p revents electrolyte corrosion, and promotes Li-ion diffusion. In addition, the surface doping of Fe-ion can further stabilizet he structure.A ccordingly,t he treated Feox-2 %c athode exhibits superior capacity retention of 86.4 %a nd 85.5 %a t1Ca nd 2C to that (75.3 %a nd 75.0 %) of the pristine sample after 300 cycles,r espectively. Then, the voltage fading is significantly suppressed to 0.0011 V per cycle at 2Cespecially.T he encouraging results may play asignificant role in paving the practical application of Li-rich layered oxides cathode.
We prove that ideal sheaves of lines in a Fano three-fold $X$ of Picard rank one and index two are stable objects in the Kuznetsov component ${\operatorname{\mathsf{Ku}}}(X)$, with respect to the stability conditions constructed by Bayer, Lahoz, Macrì, and Stellari, giving a modular description to the Hilbert scheme of lines in $X$. When $X$ is a cubic three-fold, we show that the Serre functor of ${\operatorname{\mathsf{Ku}}}(X)$ preserves these stability conditions. As an application, we obtain the smoothness of nonempty moduli spaces of stable objects in ${\operatorname{\mathsf{Ku}}}(X)$. When $X$ is a quartic double solid, we describe a connected component of the stability manifold parametrizing stability conditions on ${\operatorname{\mathsf{Ku}}}(X)$.
Silicon monoxide (SiO) has been explored and confirmed as a promising anode material of lithium‐ion batteries. Compared with pure silicon, SiO possesses a more stable microstructure which makes better comprehensive electrochemical properties. However, the lithiation mechanism remains in dispute, and problems such as poor cyclability, unsatisfactory electrical conductivity, and low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) need to be addressed. Additionally, more attention needs to be paid on the internal relationship between electrochemical performances and structures. In this review, the different preparation processes, the derived microstructure of the SiOx, the corresponding lithiation mechanism, and electrochemical properties are summarized. Researches about disproportionation reaction which is regarded as a key point and other modifications are systematically introduced. Closely linked with structure, the advantages and disadvantages of various SiOx anode materials are summarized and analyzed, and the possible directions toward the practical applications of SiOx anode material are presented. In a word, from the preparation and reaction mechanism of the material to the modifications and future development, a complete and systematical review on SiOx anode is presented.
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.
