Harnessing organic electrolyte for non-corrosive and wide-temperature Na-Cl battery.

Rechargeable sodium-chlorine (Na-Cl) batteries show great promise in grid energy storage applications due to their high electrochemical performance. However, the use of highly corrosive thionyl chloride (SOCl)-based electrolytes has severely hindered their real-world applications. Here we show a non-corrosive ester (methyl dichloroacetate) as a promising alternative to SOCl, which can form a non-corrosive electrolyte with aluminum chloride and sodium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide for high-performance rechargeable Na-Cl batteries.

Image encryption scheme based on alternate quantum walks and discrete cosine transform.

As an important information medium, the digital image exists widely on the Internet. Quantum walks have the property of encrypting information. For the eneryption problem of optical digital images, an encryption scheme based on discrete cosine transform (DCT) and alternate quantum walks (AQW) is proposed in this paper.

Quantum Multi-User Broadcast Protocol for the "Platform as a Service" Model.

Quantum Cloud Computing is the technology which has the capability to shape the future of computing. In "Platform as a Service (PaaS)" type of cloud computing, the development environment is delivered as a service. In this paper, a multi-user broadcast protocol in network is developed with the mode of one master and slaves together with a sequence of single photons.
