Firstly, V2O5, NH4H2PO4 and acetylene black are reacted under an Ar atmosphere to yield VPO4. The transition-metal reduction is facilitated by the CTR based on C→CO transition. These CTR conditions favor stabilization of the vanadium as V^3+ as well as leaving residual carbon, which is useful in the subsequent electrode processing. Secondly, VPO4 reacts with ElF to yield LiVPO4F product. The property of the LiVPO4F was investigated by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical measurement. XRD studies show that LiVPO4F synthesized has triclinic structure(space group p I ), isostructural with the naturally occurring mineral tavorite, EiFePO4-OH. SEM image exhibits that the particle size is about 2μm together with homogenous distribution. Electrochemical test shows that the initial discharge capacity of LiVPO4F powder is 119 mA·h/g at the rate of 0.2C with an average discharge voltage of 4.2V (vs Ei/Li^+), and the capacity retains 89 mA·h/g after 30 cycles.展开更多

The computational methods for the Maxwell model fitting were achieved in MATLAB software. It is found that fitting precision of the two methods is very high. The method of solving linear equations needs more fitting points and more numbers of Maxwell units. It makes the program of finite element analysis complex. While the method of solving minimum value of 1-norm can obtain very high precision only using less fitting points. These methods can fit not only experimental curve of KWW function, but also the experimental data directly.展开更多

(n=1-6) Heats of formation (HOFs), strain energies (SE), and disproportionation energy (DE) were obtained using B3LYP/6-311+G(2df, 2p)//B3LYP/6-31G* method by designing different isodesmic reactions, respectively. Detonation properties of PNNPs were obtained by the well-known KAMLET-JACOBS equations, using the predicted densities (p) obtained by Monte Carlo method and HOFs. It is found that they increase as the number of nitro groups n varies from 1 to 6, and PNNPs with n〉4 have excellent detonation properties The relative stability and the pyrolysis mechanism of PNNPs were evaluated by the calculated bond dissociation energy (BDE). The comparison of BDE suggests that rupturing the C--C bond is the trigger for thermolysis of PNNPs. The computed BDE for cleavage of C--C bond (88.5 kJ/mol) further demonstrates that only the hexa-nitrotriprismane can be considered to be the target of HEDMs.展开更多
