Analytical expressions are derived describing beam parameters on a stripping foil (SF) as a function of radial amplitude of betatron oscillations and of energy gain. The results computed from these expressions are in good agreement with those from numerical calculations. These results indicate the existence of a parametric relationship between radial emittance and energy spread, via the amplitude of radial betatron oscillations. This relationship enables one to generate the working diagram of expected beam parameters on a SF. Such a diagram can be particularly useful for designers of extraction systems, since it gives the relationship between quantities used as extraction system input parameters. The derived analytical expressions can make the design of cyclotrons easier and significantly reduce the need of numerical simulations.

N,O Co-Doped Carbon Spheres Enable Stable Anode-Less Sodium Metal Batteries.

Anode-less sodium metal batteries (SMBs) suffer from the formation of Na dendrites and inactive Na on an anode substrate though showing advantages of high energy densities and low costs. Herein, N,O co-doped carbon spheres (NOCS), which are synthesized via a scalable polymerization and pyrolysis method, are employed as a thin and stable sodiophillic nucleation layer on the Cu foil. Combined with electrochemical measurements, Na deposition morphology observations and density functional theory calculations, it is revealed that the introduced N and O heteroatoms can greatly enhance the adsorption of Na on the carbon substrate and reduce the nucleation overpotential, thus forming sufficient seeding sites and guiding homogeneous Na deposition.

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are considered a promising choice for energy storage devices owing to the excellent safety and favorable capacity of the Zn anode. However, the uncontrolled dendrite growth of Zn anode severely constrains the practical applications of AZIBs. Herein, a novel ion enrichment layer of CuS is designed and constructed on the Zn foil surface to achieve dendrite-free Zn anode.

A Zn-coordinated porphyrinic artificial solid-electrolyte interphase (αSEI) layer, named [Zn]PP-4COO-(Zn), was developed to improve the reversibility of zinc metal plating/stripping in aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). Inspired by nitrogen-terminating sites of biological molecules coordinating and transporting zinc in zinc metabolic processes, the αSEI layer was designed with zinc ions connecting porphyrinic building blocks to form two-dimensional clathrate sheets and stacking -plane sheets along the -axis to allow N cages to align and form porphyrinic N channels for zinc transport. The [Zn]PP-4COO-(Zn) αSEI layer was Zn-conductive and structurally durable during repeated stripping/plating.

Article Synopsis
  • Slow lithium-ion transport and uneven lithium distribution on anode surfaces contribute to lithium dendrite formation.
  • A new copolymer, P35, is introduced as an electrolyte additive to promote uniform lithium deposition by preferentially adsorbing on lithium foil and interacting with lithium salt anions.
  • Cells with P35 show improved performance, including better charge rates, reduced polarization, and smoother lithium deposition compared to those without the additive.

Anode-free sodium metal batteries (AFSMBs) hold great promise due to high energy density and low cost. Unfortunately, their practical applications are hindered by poor cycling stability, which is attributed to Na dendrite growth and inferior Na plating/stripping reversibility on conventional sodiophobic current collectors. Here, a thin high-entropy alloy (HEA, NbMoTaWV) interfacial layer composed of densely packed nanoplates is constructed on commercial aluminum foil (NbMoTaWV@Al) for AFSMBs.
