By adding 1 wt% damage homogenizer(DH), i.e. carbon black microparticles, into the electrodes of lithiumion batteries, thermal runaway can be mitigated as the battery cells are subjected to impact loadings. In a drop tower test, the generated heat of the modified cells is reduced by nearly 40%, compared with the reference cells. This phenomenon may be attributed to the weakening effect of the carbon black *** shape of the filler grains does not have a pronounced influence on the temperature profile.

This paper discusses the rigor of simulating plan-view images of surfaces using numerical multislice calculations. In particular, the validity of using a conventional multislice approach with individual atomic slices is tested versus a three-dimensional muitislice with the top and bottom surfaces specifically included;the result is that the two are identical when inelastic scattering is neglected and almost identical when it is included. These results also demonstrate that inelastic scattering cannot be neglected for surface plan-view simulations. For instance, the bulk-forbidden, surface-allowed spots are shown to correspond to true bulk Bloch waves which are damped in thicker crystals consistent with experimental observations. The existence of a strong top-bottom effect is also pointed out, which means that plan-view imaging is more sensitive to the bottom surface except in exceedingly thin crystals.

Experimental results of the kinetics of phase transformation in vanadium pentoxide during surface loss of oxygen from electron irradiation are described. Phase transformations under three different regimes were examined: (a) low flux;(b) intermediate flux and (c) high flux. Different phase transformation routes were observed under different fluxes. In a companion paper, numerical calculations are presented demonstrating that these results are due to a mixed interface/diffusion controlled phase transition pumped by surface oxygen loss.

Cost-effective 3d transition metal(TM) based single atom catalysts(SACs) for oxygen reduction reaction(ORR) are potential alternatives for Pt-based electrocatalysts in fuel cells and metal-air *** the effects of SACs’ properties and active site composition on the catalytic performance is significant to construct highly efficient catalysts. Here, we successfully promote the activity of cobalt single atoms decorated on N-doped carbon nanosheets via tuning the content of different nitrogen components, which outperforms most reported cobalt SACs. The activity and kinetics show positive correlation trends with the content of Co-Nxand graphitic N, serving as the main active ***, ORR kinetics in alkaline media can be positively affected by the conductivity of catalysts while no similar relation is observed in acidic media. The slight loss of Co-Nxsites engenders a mild change of performance in alkaline media, while the decrease of Co-Nxsite activity due to chemical oxidation of carbon support and the loss of Co-Nxsites in acidic media exacerbate the degradation of performance. Our work provides an insight into the relation between ORR electron transfer kinetics and active sites in 3d TM based SACs.

A new approach is proposed to analyze the fracture behavior with crack tip plasticity by the use of three independent measurements: E0 is the energy required per unit length of crack front to prepare the crack just before propagation;the E(f)-curve is a plot of the energy required to produce a unit area of fractured surface versus the crack length;and the K(a)-curve is a plot of the applied stress intensity factor K(Iapp) versus the crack length. For ABS polymers, the prefracture energy E0 is 33 Jm-1;the E(f)-curve is a horizontal line of 5.2 x 10(4) Jm-2;and the K(a) curve has three different regions which depend on the development of the plastic zone during fracture.

The austenite-to-martensite transformation expansion during quenching of steels from intercritical temperatures results in plastic deformation of a region of ferrite near each martensite particle. The localized ferrite plastic strain lowers slightly the overall ductility of the ferrite and, hence, the dual-phase steel. The extent to which this occurs was investigated theoretically by determining the extent of the ferrite plastic zone, the average dislocation density within that zone, the effective overall increase in ferrite dislocation density and an associated strain ε dm . The value ε dm , when incorporated into a previous derivation of composite true uniform strain, was found to decrease the ductility of dual-phase steels. The magnitude of this decrease was largest for martensite volume fractions between 0.3 and 0.5 and was determined to be less than 0.02. La dilatation à la transformation de l'austénite en martensite au cours de la trempe des aciers à partir de températures intercritiques conduit à la déformation plastique d'une région de ferrite au voisinage de chaque particule de martensite. La déformation plastique localisée de la ferrite abaisse légèrement la ductilité générale de la ferrite et donc de l'acier diphasé. Nous avons étudié théoriquement dans quelle mesure ceci se produisait en déterminant la grandeur de la zone plastique ferritique, la densité moyenne de dislocations dans cette zone, l'accroissement effectif total de la densité de dislocations dans la ferrite et une déformation associée ε dm . La valeur de ε dm , introduite dans un calcul anténeein de la déformation uniforme vraie d'un composite, abaissait la ductilité des aciers diphasés. Cette diminution était maximale pour des fractions volumiques de martensite comprises entre 0,3 et 0,5 et elle était inférieure à 0,02. Die Umwandlung von Austenit in Martensit führt während des Abschreckens eines Stahles von interkritischen Temperaturen zu Dehnungen, durch die der Ferrit im bereich der mart

The effects of 60 Co gamma radiation on the strength-related mechanical properties of a borosilicate glass were examined. Although the glass darkened considerably, only a very slight densification was observed after irradiation to levels of 10 8 rads. The strength distributions were not appreciably changed by the irradiation, nor was the calculated slow crack growth parameter, or N value. Neither did radiation affect the elastic modulus or the fracture toughness of the glass. Gamma radiation does not affect the strength below 10 8 rads.

The future high-Mach aircraft requires advanced jet fuel with high stability in rigorous thermal environments. In this work high-temperature thermal stability of two JP-8 type jet fuels, a petroleum-derived JP-8P and a coal-derived JP-8C was studied by stressing in closed reactors at 450-degrees-C under 0.7 MPa of N2 for periods ranging from 0.5 to 16 h. The extents of fuel degradation in terms of liquid depletion, gas formation, and solid deposition were always higher with JP-8P than with JP-8C. There appeared an induction period for solid formation, which was longer for JP-8C than for JP-8P. Tests with the saturates isolated chromatographically from these fuels indicated that JP-8C saturates are much more stable than the JP-8P saturates, and the higher stability of JP-8C is due to its composition. JP-8C is rich in one- to three-ring cycloalkanes and two-ring hydroaromatics, while JP-8P is composed mainly of long-chain paraffins. GC-MS provided valuable information on the relative stability and molecular transformation of hydrocarbon components in these jet fuels. Cycloalkanes;were found to be more stable than long-chain paraffins with the same carbon number. The stability decreases with increasing length of main chain for the long-chain paraffins, or side chain for alkylcycloalkanes. Multisubstituted cycloalkanes are more stable than the monosubstituted ones with the same carbon number. Steric conformation of cycloalkanes also affects their reactivity;for decalin, the trans isomer was found to be more stable than the cis isomer. The higher stability of JP-8C can be attributed mainly to its higher content of cycloalkanes. Tetralins and decalins present in JP-8C also contribute to capping the thermally generated reactive radicals by hydrogen donation.
