Methyl acetate (MA) is a suitable solvent for low-temperature electrolyte solutions, but its poor stability against lithium metal is a big problem. Herein, a simple and cheap solution of LiPF dissolved in MA was successfully employed for LiTiO/graphite dual-ion batteries (DIBs). This cell has a long cycle life with 93.1% capacity retention after 1000 cycles. Moreover, it has superior performance at low temperatures (-40 °C) compared to other reported DIBs. The storage behavior of PF solvated by MA in graphite cathode has been investigated in detail by in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) in combination with electrochemical dilatometry (ECD).

In order to characterize the volatile chemical components of processed by different Traditional Chinese Medicine Processing methods and establish fingerprint profiles, headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) technology was employed to detect, identify, and analyze processed by five different methods. Fingerprint profiles of volatile chemical components of processed by different methods were established; a total of 85 different volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were detected in the experiment, including esters, alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, terpenes, olefinic compounds, nitrogen compounds, lactones, pyrazines, sulfur compounds, thiophenes, acid, and thiazoles. Principal component analysis (PCA), Orthogonal Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (OPLS-DA), and Pearson correlation analysis methods were used to cluster and analyze the detected chemical substances and their contents.

Inner Helmholtz layer control through co-solvent strategies for high-performance copper hexacyanoferrate//zinc battery.

J Colloid Interface Sci

Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Alberta, 9211-116 Street NW., Edmonton, Alberta T6G 1H9, Canada. Electronic address:

Copper hexacyanoferrate (CuHCF) demonstrates high working voltage, convenient synthesis methods, and economic benefits. However, capacity decay of CuHCF//Zn full cells is usually observed in aqueous electrolytes due to the dissolution of Cu and Fe, as indicated by the irreversible insertion of Zn ions and the consequent formation of ZnCuHCF. To address these challenges, a cathode-oriented electrolyte engineering design employing a methyl acetate (MA) co-solvent with zinc triflate (Zn(OTf)) salt electrolyte is implemented.

Formation of Nonspherical Cellulose Acetate Microparticles under Microflow.

Langmuir

December 2024

Department of Applied Chemistry, Graduate School of Environmental, Life, Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University, 3-1-1, Tsushima-naka, Kita-ku, Okayama 700-8530, Japan.

Nonspherical particles have gained significant interest owing to their unique shapes and large specific surface areas, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, such as drug delivery, catalysis, and adsorption. However, conventional methods for preparing nonspherical particles face certain limitations. In this study, we propose a simple method for fabricating nonspherical cellulose acetate (CA) microparticles using a microfluidic device in which droplets undergo rapid diffusion in a continuous aqueous phase.

This study investigates the effects of electron beam irradiation at varying doses on the bioactive compounds and sensory qualities and of broccoli sprout juice (BSJ). A comprehensive analysis of volatile flavor components using GC-IMS and GC-MS identified 49 compounds, including esters, aldehydes, and olefins. Notably, the sulforaphane content exhibited a strong negative correlation with irradiation intensity (R = 0.
