Abstract Lithium metal is the best candidate anode for high specific energy density batteries because of its capacity and low negative potential. However, lithium dendrite formation growth during plating stripping cycles have hindered use as practical batteries. Here, a mechanism suppression in composite separator Kimwipe paper (KW) porous polyethylene (PE) various electrolytes was examined. Th...

We present herein a systematic study of solvent co-intercalation during electrochemical reduction titanium disulfide in lithium cells using state the art situ and synchrotron X-ray diffraction. To understand role electrolyte components, four salts (LiBF 4 , LiBOB, LiPF 6 LiTFSI) three solvents (ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate dimethyl carbonate) were investigated. Various types assemble...

Abstract Phase equilibrium data ( $$p$$ p , $$T$$ T $$y$$ y ) for the binary systems of carbon dioxide + dimethyl carbonate and ethyl methyl were obtained. All measured isotherms ranging from 298.2 K to 328.2 with pressure between 0.13 MPa 10.6 MPa. A static technique was est...

The straightforward functionalization of sterically demanding α,α-disubstituted double bonds β-pinene, (-)-limonene and terpenoids has been achieved via cross metathesis with internal olefins. reactions are catalyzed by second generation ruthenium catalysts in dimethyl carbonate as green solvent or under neat conditions. This transformation provides a clean process for the access to functionali...

This work focuses on designing bilayered constructs by combining electrospun poly-DL-Lactide (PDLLA) fibers and Bioglass®-derived scaffolds for development of osteochondral tissue replacement materials. Electrospinning was carried out using a solution of 5 wt/v% PDLLA in dimethyl carbonate. The PDLLA layer thickness increased from 2 to 150 µm with varying electrospinning time. Bioactivity studi...

The Mg/La mixed oxide catalyst with varied molar ratio has been synthesized by co-precipitation method and characterized using various analytical techniques. The catalytic activity of the prepared catalysts is studied for synthesis of dimethyl carbonate from cyclic carbonates and methanol. Various reaction parameters such as temperature, reactant ratio and catalyst amount have been studied to o...

The solubility of lithium salts, found in solid-electrolyte interface (SEI) films on the anode surface in lithium ion battery cells, has been examined in organic solvents through atomistic computer simulations. The salts included lithium oxide (Li2O), lithium carbonate (Li2CO3), lithium oxalate ([LiCO2]2), lithium fluoride (LiF), lithium hydroxide (LiOH), lithium methoxide (LiOCH3), lithium met...
