Research Progress of High-Safety Phosphorus-Based Electrolyte

随着锂离子电池的市场拓展,安全性问题已成为电动汽车、大规模储能等应用领域关注的首要问题. 目前商品化的锂离子电池普遍采用低沸点碳酸酯类电解液,其易燃性成为电池不安全性的主要隐患. 为了提高锂离子电池的本征安全性,阻燃或不燃性电解液成为近年来研究的热点,其中以磷酸酯为溶剂的阻燃型或不燃型电解液受到广泛关注. 本文主要介绍磷酸酯阻燃和不燃电解液的研究状况,分析了这类电解液与锂离子电池正负极的兼容性问题,讨论了改善磷酸酯电解液电化学兼容性的途径,提出了发展高效、安全、稳定的不燃电解液的一些思路.Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have emerged as the most widely used energy storage devices owing to their high energy density and excellent cycling stability. However, safety issues have become a critical obstacle for the large-scale applications of LIBs in the energy storage systems and electric vehicles (EVs). Currently, LIBs use a low flash- and boiling-point organic carbonate as the electrolyte, which is extremely likely to cause firing or explosion. Although some flame-retardant additives can inhibit the combustion of electrolyte to a certain extent, it brings little effect in practical application. Therefore, the development of nonflammable electrolytes is an essential solution to eliminate the safety hazards of LIBs. The phosphorus-based electrolytes seem to be a good choice for flame-retardant or nonflammable electrolytes because of their low viscosity, high solubility, and low cost. In this paper, the problems and solutions of phosphate-based solvents as a safe electrolyte for LIBs are reviewed. Firstly, the feasibility and existing problems of phosphate ester as a solvent of electrolyte are introduced, and then the flame-retardant mechanism, flame-retardant or nonflammable phosphorus-based electrolytes are described by classifications, with emphasis on the electrochemical compatibility of such an electrolyte and its countermeasures. On this basis, we prospect the future research directions in high safety phosphorus-based electrolytes.国家重点研发计划课题(2016YFB000200);国家自然科学基金(21972108)通讯作者:曹余良E-mail:[email protected]:CAOYu-liangE-mail:[email protected]武汉大学化学与分子科学学院,湖北 武汉 430072College of Chemistry and Molecular Science, Wuhan University, Xiamen University,Wuhan 430072, Hubei, Chin

植物模式标本的考证与数字化:以中国国家植物标本馆为例

模式标本是最重要的植物标本,是确定植物学名的依据,是植物分类学家从事植物系统分类研究必不可少的科学材料,也是开展专科专属研究、编写国家或地方植物志、进行植物区系调查研究、开发利用和保护植物资源的重要基本资料。但模式标本的人为和自然毁损难以避免,模式标本及其标签信息的数字化使得模式标本的形态、地理分布、采集等主要信息得到最大限度的永久保存,可以极大地方便模式标本信息的共享,可以为科学研究人员或相关人员提供植物形态、地理分布、历史变迁等多方面的信息。本文以中国科学院植物研究所国家植物标本馆维管束植物模式标本数字化建设为例,详细介绍了规范化整理模式标本的方法、模式标本数字化的操作流程,并通过大量实例介绍了模式标本考订的过程、常见问题的处理方法等,以期为其他单位开展模式标本数字化建设提供经验

JUNO Sensitivity on Proton Decay p→νˉK+p\to \bar\nu K^+ Searches

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a large liquid scintillator detector designed to explore many topics in fundamental physics. In this paper, the potential on searching for proton decay in $p\to \bar\nu K^+$ mode with JUNO is investigated.The kaon and its decay particles feature a clear three-fold coincidence signature that results in a high efficiency for identification. Moreover, the excellent energy resolution of JUNO permits to suppress the sizable background caused by other delayed signals. Based on these advantages, the detection efficiency for the proton decay via $p\to \bar\nu K^+$ is 36.9% with a background level of 0.2 events after 10 years of data taking. The estimated sensitivity based on 200 kton-years exposure is $9.6 \times 10^{33}$ years, competitive with the current best limits on the proton lifetime in this channel

JUNO sensitivity on proton decay p → ν K + searches*

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a large liquid scintillator detector designed to explore many topics in fundamental physics. In this study, the potential of searching for proton decay in the $p\to \bar{\nu} K^+$ mode with JUNO is investigated. The kaon and its decay particles feature a clear three-fold coincidence signature that results in a high efficiency for identification. Moreover, the excellent energy resolution of JUNO permits suppression of the sizable background caused by other delayed signals. Based on these advantages, the detection efficiency for the proton decay via $p\to \bar{\nu} K^+$ is 36.9% ± 4.9% with a background level of $0.2\pm 0.05({\rm syst})\pm$$0.2({\rm stat})$ events after 10 years of data collection. The estimated sensitivity based on 200 kton-years of exposure is $9.6 \times 10^{33}$ years, which is competitive with the current best limits on the proton lifetime in this channel and complements the use of different detection technologies
