RESUMO
SnO2 layer between Li1.5Al0.5Ge1.5(PO4)3 (LAGP) and lithium anode was prepared through simple scratch-coating process to improve interface properties. The physical phase, morphology, and electrochemical properties of Li/SnO2/LAGP structure were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electrochemical analytical methods. It was found that SnO2 layer effectively improved the interface stability of LAGP and lithium anode. The prepared Li/SnO2/LAGP/SnO2/Li symmetric cell exhibited a large critical current density of 1.8 mA cm-2 and demonstrated excellent cycling characteristics. The polarization voltages of symmetric cell were 0.1 V and 0.8 V after 1000 h of cycling at current densities of 0.04 mA cm-2 and 0.5 mA cm-2, respectively. Li/SnO2@LAGP/LiFePO4 solid-state full cells were also assembled, exhibiting a discharge specific capacity of 150 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles at 0.1C with capacity retention rate of 96 %. The good interface properties of Li/SnO2/LAGP structure are attributed to the transformation of SnO2 layer into a buffer layer containing Li2O, Sn0, and LixSny alloy during cycling process, which effectively inhibits the reduction reaction between LAGP and lithium anode.
RESUMO
3,4-Bis(1H-5-tetrazolyl)furoxan (H(2)BTF, 2) and its monoanionic salts that contain nitrogen-rich cations were readily synthesized and fully characterized by multinuclear NMR ((1)H, (13)C) and IR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and elemental analyses. Hydrazinium (3) and 4-amino-1,2,4-triazolium (7) salts crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n and have calculated densities of 1.820 and 1.764 g cm(-3), respectively. The densities of the energetic salts range between 1.63 and 1.79 g cm(-3), as measured by a gas pycnometer. Detonation pressures and detonation velocities were calculated to be 23.1-32.5 GPa and 7740-8790 m s(-1), respectively.
RESUMO
Energetic salts based on dipicrylamine and its amino derivative were synthesized. All salts were fully characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy ((1)H, (13)C), vibrational spectroscopy (IR), and elemental analysis. Ethylenediammonium di-DPA (DPA=dipicrylamine) and 1,3-diaminoguanidinium DPA were further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. These salts exhibit reasonable physical properties, such as high densities (1.71-1.81 g cm(-3)), good thermal stabilities (T(d) =155-285 °C), and low solubilities in water. The impact sensitivity of 1-methyl-3,4,5-triamino-1,2,4-triazolium DPA is lower than that of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), and for some other energetic salts their impact sensitivities are comparable to that of TNT. Based on experimental densities and theoretical calculations carried out by using the Gaussian 03 suite of programs, all the salts have calculated detonation pressures (22.5-27.8 GPa) and velocities (7226-7917 m s(-1)) that exceed those of conventional TNT. The toxicities of these salts measured by luminescent bacteria toxicity tests are much lower than that of TNT, and two binary eutectic mixtures with melting points that fall between 70 and 100 °C were identified.
RESUMO
A metal-free catalytic system with N,N',Nâ³-trihydroxyisocyanuric acid (THICA) as the catalyst for the oxidation of nitrotoluenes is introduced, and a novel Pd-free approach for the synthesis of THICA was developed. In a solution of acetic acid, THICA and concentrated nitric acid, nitrotoluenes especially polynitrotoluenes such as 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), were converted into the desired carboxylic acids under 0.2 MPa of O(2) at 100°C with yields up to 99%. THICA was synthesized from N-hydroxyphtalimide through a four-step synthesis in a total yield of 46%. A possible mechanism of this catalytic process was proposed where NO(2) and nitric acid first induced a radical of THICA, which then abstracts a hydrogen atom from the methyl on the aromatic ring to form a benzyl radical. This radical then initiates subsequent reactions. The production of the benzyl radical was supported by ESR measurements.
