  • High-polarization ferroelectric films are crucial for efficient energy storage capacitors, particularly at moderate/low electric fields.
  • The study introduces a multiscale optimization strategy in BiMgTiO (BMT) films by adding SrLaTiO (SLT) to enhance polarization and energy storage without reducing breakdown strength.
  • Results show that 0.9BMT-0.1SLT films achieve a high discharge density of 72.2 J/cm at 2917 kV/cm, while maintaining stability and suggesting BMT-based materials as ecofriendly options for future energy storage solutions.

Article Abstract

For solving the trade-off relationship of the polarization and breakdown electric field, ferroelectric films with high polarization are playing a critical role in energy storage capacitor applications, especially at moderate/low electric fields. In this work, we propose a multiscale structure (including defect, domain, and grain structures) synergetic optimization strategy to optimize the polarization behavior and energy storage performances of BiMgTiO (BMT) ferroelectric films by introducing SrLaTiO (SLT) without compromising the breakdown strength. At a moderate electric field of 2917 kV/cm, a high discharge density of 72.2 J/cm has been achieved in 0.9BMT-0.1SLT films, together with good frequency, thermal, and cycle stabilities for energy storage. Importantly, the phase difference Δφ is utilized to quantitatively evaluate the polarization switching mobility of the ferroelectric domain/PNRs at an external electric field stimulation. This research demonstrates that a multiscale structure optimization strategy could effectively regulate the energy storage performance, and ecofriendly BMT-based materials are promising candidates for next-generation energy storage capacitors, especially at moderate/low electric fields.

P2-type NaMnNiO as the cathode for sodium-ion batteries, has a relatively high theoretical specific capacity, but its unstable crystal structure and undesirable phase transitions lead to rapid capacity decay. In this work, Mg-B-O coated NaMnNiO microspheres have been synthesized via a liquid-phase method based on solvothermal synthesized NaMnNiO. The Mg-B-O coating layer significantly improves the electrochemical performance, including specific capacity, rate capability, and cycle stability.

We investigate a continuous electrochemical pH-swing method to capture CO from a gas phase. The electrochemical cell consists of a single cation-exchange membrane (CEM) and a recirculation of a mixture of salt and phenazine-based redox-active molecules. In the absorption compartment, this solution is saturated by CO from a mixed gas phase at high pH.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) and CO-based geothermal energy are promising technologies for reducing CO emissions and mitigating climate change. Safe implementation of these technologies requires an understanding of how CO interacts with fluids and rocks at depth, particularly under elevated pressure and temperature. While CO-bearing aqueous solutions in geological reservoirs have been extensively studied, the chemical behavior of water-bearing supercritical CO remains largely overlooked by academics and practitioners alike.

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of different manipulation methods and storage environments on the microstructural, chemical, and mechanical properties of calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement. Four sample groups were examined, including nondried (ND-I) and dried (D-I) groups placed directly in an incubator, dried samples stored in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (D-P), and dried samples stored in distilled water (D-W). Various analyses, including Vickers microhardness, compressive strength, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were conducted after incubating the samples for 7 days.
