Heating and ultraviolet irradiation: Gas pressure meter-based analytical system for on-site and rapid monitoring of permanganate index (COD).

Permanganate index (COD) is one of the important indicators of surface water quality measurement. Herein, a portable analytical system was developed for on-site and rapid analysis of COD, organic substances in water were oxidized and transformed into gases, so that COD concentration was converted into a change of gas pressure signal, the pressure signal change was further detected by a gas pressure meter. Heating method and ultraviolet (UV) irradiation method were used as assisting technologies for oxidization of organic substances by acidic KMnO, a linear range of 2-150 mg l and a detectable limit of 2 mg l were obtained.

A Two-dimensional Metal-Organic Framework as Promising Cathode for Advanced Lithium Storage.

Anthraquinone electrode materials are promising candidates for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to the abundance of anthraquinone and the high theoretical capacity, and good reversibility of the anthraquinone electrodes. However, the active anthraquinone materials are soluble in organic electrolytes, resulting in a sharp decay of capacity during the charge and discharge processes. Herein, we report on a two-dimensional calcium anthraquinone 2,3-dicarboxy metal-organic framework (2D CaAQDC MOF) fabricated using a simple hydrothermal method.

Insight into the Contribution of the Electrolyte Additive LiBF in High-Voltage LiCoO||SiO/C Pouch Cells.

High-voltage pouch cells using an LiCoO cathode and SiO/C anode are regarded as promising energy storage devices due to their high energy densities. However, their failure is associated with the unstable, high-impedance cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) film on the cathode and the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film on the anode surface, which hinder their practical use. Here, we report a novel approach to ameliorate the above challenges through the rational construction of a stable, low-impedance cathode and anode interface film.

Advanced 1D Metal-Organic Coordination Polymer for Lithium-Ion Batteries: Designing, Synthesis, and Working Mechanism.

Anthraquinone (AQ) and its derivatives have been attracting more attention as promising electrode materials for lithium storage because of their high specific capacity, structural diversity, and environmental friendliness. The dissolution and poor electrical conductivity of AQ, however, limit its practical application. Here, a novel metal-organic coordination polymer with a one-dimensional (1D) chain ([CHOCu] denoted as Cu-DHAQ; DHAQ, 1,5-dihydroxyl anthraquinone) and its composite with graphene (Cu-DHAQ/G; G, graphene) are developed by the introduction of graphene and copper ion into DHAQ.

Herein, we fabricate a nanocomposite of an anthraquinone carboxylate lithium salt (LiAQC) and graphene to address the two issues. LiAQC is synthesized via a green and facile one-pot reaction and then ball-milled with graphene to obtain a nanocomposite (nr-LiAQC/G).

Graphene-Supported Naphthalene-Based Polyimide Composite as a High-Performance Sodium Storage Cathode.

Its low electrical conductivity and high dissolution in organic electrolyte, however, result in poor cycling and rate capabilities. Here, we report a naphthalene polyimide derivative (NPI) synthesized by using anhydride under condensation polymerization conditions, along with its composite with graphene (NPI-G) fabricated via in situ polymerization.

Supramolecule-Inspired Fabrication of Carbon Nanoparticles In Situ Anchored Graphene Nanosheets Material for High-Performance Supercapacitors.

The remarkable electrochemical performance of graphene-based materials has drawn a tremendous amount of attention for their application in supercapacitors.
