A New High Power LiNi0.81Co0.1Al0.09O2 Cathode Material for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Among the various Ni‐based layered oxide systems in the form of LiNi_1‐y‐zCo_yAl_zO₂ (NCA), the compostions between y = 0.1–0.15, z = 0.05 are the most successful and commercialized cathodes used in electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). However, tremendous research effort has been dedicted to searching for better composition in NCA systems to overcome the limitations of these cathodes, particularly those that arise when they are used use at high discharge/charge rates (>5C) and in high temperature (60 °C) environments. In addition, improving the thermal stability at 4.5 V is also very important in terms of the total amount of heat generated and the onset temperature. Here, a new NCA composition in the form of LiNi_0.81Co_0.1Al_0.09O₂ (y = 0.1, z = 0.09) is reported for the first time. Compared to the LiNi_0.85Co_0.1Al_0.05O₂ cathode, LiNi_0.81Co_0.1Al_0.09O₂ exhibits an excellent rate capability of 155 mAh g^?1 at 10 C with a cut‐off voltage range between 3 and 4.5 V, corresponding to 562 Wh kg^?1 at 24 °C. It additionally provides significantly improved thermal stability and electrochemical performance at the high temperature of 60 °C, with a discharge capacity of 122 mAh g^?1 after 200 cycles with capacity retention of 59%.     

Systematic study of photoluminescence,lyoluminescence and mechanoluminescence in Ce3+‐ and Eu3+‐activated Li3PO4 phosphors

Li₃PO₄ phosphor was prepared using a modified solid‐state diffusion technique. In this work, photoluminescence, lyoluminescence and mechanoluminescence studies were carried out in a Li₃PO₄ microcrystalline powder doped with different rare earths. In photoluminescence studies, characteristic emission of Ce and Eu was observed. The lyoluminescence glow curves of Li₃PO₄ microcrystals show that lyoluminescence intensity initially increases with time and then decreases exponentially. The decay time consists of two components for all masses. The dependence of decay time, especially the longer component, on mass has been investigated. Experiments on γ‐irradiated crystals have proved that the light emission originates from the recombination of released F‐centres with trapped holes (V₂‐centres) at the sulfuric acid–solid interface. Incorporation of bivalent alkali in solid lithium phosphate leads to an enhancement of lyoluminescence. A possible explanation for the experimental results has been attempted. The phosphor has a mechanoluminescence single glow peak. Mechanoluminescence intensity under various loading conditions was investigated. It is observed that mechanoluminescence intensity increases with increasing impurity concentration and increasing piston impact velocity. The results may be considered as only being of academic interest in solid‐state materials. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Genetic Diversity of Cephalotaxus mannii,a Rare and Endangered Plant

Using RAPD technique, the DNA diversity of Cephalotaxus mannii Hook. f., its genetic diversity pattern,the reasons for its endangered position and conservative approaches were studied. The results show that: 1. The genetic diversity of C. mannii collected from five localities in Hainan is low, and its adaptability to environmental change is weak. 2. The differences of genetic diversity between intra and inter populations are great, and the major variation distributes within the population (DNA diversity is 85.1%). 3. The excessive lumbering, man made destruction, violent typhoon, edible value of the seeds and genetic drift were the main reasons for the low level genetic diversity of C. mannii and its endangered position. 4. The difference of the micro environment and other random factors affecting the population should also be taken into full consideration in the study and in protection of such occasionally scattered plants. 5. Enforced measures should be taken to protect the present population, enlarge the population and lower the loss rate of its gene. Mt. Limulin should be chosen as a conservative spot because of its high genetic diversity and less destruction of the forest. Meanwhile, the protection of other populations should be enforced. 6. The differences within and between the populations are great based on different primers used. The change of proportions in polymorphic loci between the populations is more than that between the primers.
