The Radical Pathway Based on a Lithium-Metal-Compatible High-Dielectric Electrolyte for Lithium-Sulfur Batteries.

High-dielectric solvents were explored for enhancing the sulfur utilization in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, but their applications have been impeded by low stability at the lithium metal anode. Now a radical-directed, lithium-compatible, and strongly polysulfide-solvating high-dielectric electrolyte based on tetramethylurea is presented. Over 200 hours of cycling was realized in Li|Li symmetric cells, showing good compatibility of the tetramethylurea-based electrolyte with lithium metal.

[Studies of influential factors in determination of Ca2+ by combination of FAAS with micro-column enrichment].

It have been studied that the influential factors in determination of calcium by combination of FAAS with micro-cell preconcentration. In order to the preconcentration, the ions can be adsorbed by the self-made electrochemical preconcentration micro-cell. Then the adsorbed ions instantly return into solution which is small in size and directly into FAAS.
