RESUMEN

Anchoring platinum catalysts on appropriate supports, e.g., MXenes, is a feasible pathway to achieve a desirable anode for direct methanol fuel cells. The authentic performance of Pt is often hindered by the occupancy and poisoning of active sites, weak interaction between Pt and supports, and the dissolution of Pt. Herein, we construct three-dimensional (3D) crumpled Ti3C2Tx MXene balls with abundant Ti vacancies for Pt confinement via a spray-drying process. The as-prepared Pt clusters/Ti3C2Tx (Ptc/Ti3C2Tx) show enhanced electrocatalytic methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) activity, including a relatively low overpotential, high tolerance to CO poisoning, and ultrahigh stability. Specifically, it achieves a high mass activity of up to 7.32 A mgPt-1, which is the highest value reported to date in Pt-based electrocatalysts, and 42% of the current density is retained on Ptc/Ti3C2Tx even after the 3000 min operative time. In situ spectroscopy and theoretical calculations reveal that an electric field-induced repulsion on the Ptc/Ti3C2Tx interface accelerates the combination of OH- and CO adsorption intermediates (COads) in kinetics and thermodynamics. Besides, this Ptc/Ti3C2Tx also efficiently electrocatalyze ethanol, ethylene glycol, and glycerol oxidation reactions with comparable activity and stability to commercial Pt/C.

RESUMEN

Silicon oxides have been recognized as a promising family of anode materials for high-energy lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to their abundant reserve, low cost, environmental friendliness, easy synthesis, and high theoretical capacity. However, the extended application of silicon oxides is severely hampered by the intrinsically low conductivity, large volume change, and low initial coulombic efficiency. Significant efforts have been dedicated to tackling these challenges towards practical applications. This Review focuses on the recent advances in the synthesis and lithium storage properties of silicon oxide-based anode materials. To present the progress in a systematic manner, this review is categorized as follows: (i) SiO-based anode materials, (ii) SiO2-based anode materials, (iii) non-stoichiometric SiOx-based anode materials, and (iv) Si-O-C-based anode materials. Finally, future outlook and our personal perspectives on silicon oxide-based anode materials are presented.

RESUMEN

This paper presents a sound source localization (SSL) model based on residual network and channel attention mechanism. The method takes the combination of log-Mel spectrogram and generalized cross-correlation phase transform (GCC-PHAT) as the input features, and extracts the time-frequency information by using the residual structure and channel attention mechanism, thus obtaining a better localizing performance. The residual blocks are introduced to extract deeper features, which can stack more layers for high-level features and avoid gradient vanishing or exploding at the same time. The attention mechanism is taken into account for the feature extraction stage in the proposed SSL model, which can focus on the most important information on the input features. We use the signals collected by microphone array to explore the performance of the model under different features, and find the most suitable input features of the proposed method. We compare our method with other models on public dataset. Experience results show a quite substantial improvement of sound source localizing performance.

RESUMEN

Lithium (Li) metal is a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of its high theoretical specific capacity of 3860 mAh g-1 and the low potential of -3.04 V versus the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE). However, these anodes rely on repeated plating and stripping of Li, which leads to consumption of Li inventory and the growth of dendrites that can lead to self-discharge and safety issues. To address these issues, as well as problems related to the volume change of these anodes, a number of different porous conductive scaffolds have been reported to create high surface area electrode on which Li can be plated reliably. While impressive results have been reported in literature, current processes typically rely on either expensive or poorly scalable techniques. Herein, we report a scalable fabrication method to create robust 3D Cu anodes using a one-step electrodeposition process. The areal loading, pore structure, and electrode thickness can be tuned by changing the electrodeposition parameters, and we show how standard mechanical calendering provides a way to further optimize electrode volume, capacity, and cycling stability. Optimized electrodes achieve high Coulombic efficiencies (CEs) of 99% during 800 cycles in half cells at a current density of 0.5 mA cm-2 with a total capacity of 0.5 mAh cm-2. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest value ever reported for a host for Li-metal anodes using lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide LITFSI based electrolyte.

RESUMEN

TiO2 has been intensively investigated as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in 1.0-3.0 V (vs Li+/Li). However, it is a challenge to realize its theoretical capacity (336 mAh g-1) in this limited potential range. Extending the potential range below 1.0 V would increase its capacity but usually at the expense of its cyclic stability owing to the sluggish ionic diffusion and unsatisfactory structural stability. Here, three-dimensional (3D) macroporous TiO2 microspheres with interconnected pores and nanocrystalline thin walls have been constructed through a scalable template-assisted spray drying method to overcome these obstacles. When applied to LIBs, high and stable discharge capacity (300 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1) as well as superior cyclic stability (242 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at 1.0 A g-1) can be achieved under deep discharging/charging conditions (0.01-3.0 V vs Li+/Li). Furthermore, the 3D macroporous structure is well preserved under deep discharging/charging and the in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and Raman spectra reveal the dominant pseudocapacitive contribution at low potentials (0.01-1.0 V). This work not only develops a facile method to synthesize macroporous metal oxides but also provides insight into the lithium storage mechanism of TiO2 under deep discharging/charging conditions.
