A binder-free aluminum (Al) electrode was fabricated by electrodeposition on a three-dimensional copper foam (3DCu) or carbon fabric (3DCF) from mixed-halide ionic liquid. The strong adhesion, structural stability and interface compatibility between Al 3DCu facilitate high electrical conductivity effectively alleviate large volume change. In lithium-ion battery, the continuous, dendrite-free Al...

Iodide redox reactions in molten NaI/AlCl 3 are shown to generate surface-blocking films, which may limit the useful cycling rates and energy densities of sodium batteries below 150 °C. An experimental investigation electrode interfacial stability at 110 °C reveals source reaction rate limitations. Electrochemical experiments a 3-electrode configuration confirm an increase resistance on surface...

The surface integrity of machined components is considered to be an important part the quality matrix for high-performance applications in aviation industry. Therefore, close attention given made up hard-to-cut materials such as Ti6Al4V, which face processability challenges. In this regard, among non-conventional machining processes, electric discharge widely preferred cutting Ti6Al4V. study, p...

Various techniques such as physical, chemical, biological, advanced oxidation and electrochemical are used for the treatment of industrial effluent. The commonly used conventional biological treatment processes are time consuming, need large operational area and are not effective for effluent containing toxic elements. Advanced oxidation techniques result in high treatment cost and are generall...

The coupling of model batteries and surface-sensitive techniques provides an indispensable platform for interrogating the vital surface/interface processes in battery systems. Here, we report a sandwich-format nanopore-array using ultrathin graphite electrode anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) film. porous framework AAO regulates contact pattern electrolyte with from inner side, while minimizing con...

Copper hexacyanoferrate (CuHCF) nanoparticles with tunnel-like Prussian blue structure were deposited on graphite substrate via pulse galvanostatic electrochemical deposition at 25 mA cm-2 with both on-time and off-time periods of 0.1 s, which presented the ability to intercalation/de-intercalation of Al ions reversibly in aqueous solution. The crystal structure of the as-prepared CuHCF f...
