Solid-state lithium metal batteries(SSLMBs) have emerged as a promising alternative to traditional liquid lithium-ion batteries(LIBs), offering higher energy density, enhanced safety, and longer lifespan. The rise of SSLMBs has brought about a transformation in energy storage, with aluminum(Al)-based material dopants playing a crucial role in advancing the next generation of batteries. The review highlights the significance of Al-based material dopants in SSLMBs applications, particularly its contributions to solid-state electrolytes(SSEs), cathodes, anodes,and other components of SSLMBs. Some studies have also shown that Al-based material dopants effectively enhance SSE ion conductivity, stabilize electrode and SSE interfaces, and suppress lithium dendrite growth, thereby enhancing the electrochemical performance of SSLMBs. Despite the above mentioned progresses, there are still problems and challenges need to be addressed. The review offers a comprehensive insight into the important role of Al in SSLMBs and addresses some of the issues related to its applications, endowing valuable support for the practical implementation of SSLMBs.展开更多

This study used through-diffusion techniques to investigate the diffusion behavior of HTO and ^(99)TcO_4^- on GMZ bentonite of various densities. Diffusion rates were calculated by measuring the diffusion coefficients(De, Da), plotting breakthrough curves and interpreting experiment data. The apparent and effective diffusion coefficients of HTO ranged from(1.68 ± 0.40) 9 × 10^(-11) to(2.80 ± 0.62) 9 × 10^(-11) m^2/s and from(4.61 ±1.28) 9 × 10^(-12) to (16.2 ± 2.50) 9 × 10^(-12) m^2/s, respectively.The apparent and effective diffusion coefficients of^(99)TcO_4^-ranged from(5.26 ± 0.16) 9 × 10^-12to(7.78 ± 0.43) 9× 10^-12m^2/s and from(1.49 ± 0.002) 9 × 10^(-12) to(4.16 ±0.07) 9 × 10^(-12) m^2/s, respectively. The distribution coefficients of HTO and^(99)TcO_4^-ranged from(0.70 ± 0.12) 9× 10^(-2) to(1.36 ± 0.53) 9 × 10^(-2) mL/g and from(1.12 ±0.06) 9 × 10^(-2) to(5.79 ± 2.22) 9 × 10^(-2) mL/g, respectively.The Deand Kdvalues were shown to decrease with an increase in the bulk dry density of compacted bentonite. Our results show that HTO and ^(99)Tc could be considered nonsorbent radionuclides. The data obtained in this studyprovide a valuable reference for the safety assessment of waste repositories.展开更多

In this study,acrylic acid（AA） was grafted onto bentonite（BT） to generate an AA-graft-BT（AA-g-BT）composite using a plasma-induced grafting technique considered to be an environment-friendly method. The as-prepared composite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, x-ray powder diffraction, thermal gravity analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Barrett–Emmett–Teller analysis, demonstrating the successful grafting of AA onto BT. In addition, the removal of uranium（VI）（U（VI）） from contaminated aqueous solutions was examined using the as-prepared composite. The influencing factors, including contact time,p H value, ionic strength, temperature, and initial concentration, for the removal of U（VI） were investigated by batch experiments. The experimental process fitted best with the pseudo-secondorder kinetic and the Langmuir models. Moreover, thermodynamic investigation revealed a spontaneous and endothermic process. Compared with previous adsorbents, AA-g-BT has potential practical applications in treating U（VI）-contaminated solutions.展开更多

The main understandings are as follows:(1) Six bentonite dense layers were found in the Qiliao section, mainly occurring in 6 graptolitic belts of the Katian, Rhuddanian and Aeronian. Most of the bentonite dense layers showed obvious increase in clay, peak response of GR curve, and indistinct relationship between volcanic ash and total organic carbon(TOC).(2) The bentonite dense layers of Longmaxi Formation were widely distributed in eastern Sichuan Basin and its periphery, and generally showed GR peak, which can be an important reference interface for dividing the bottom boundary of the Coronograptus cyphus belt and the top boundary of the Rhuddanian in eastern Sichuan Basin and western Hubei province.(3) Taking the bentonite dense layers as the stratification basis of the Rhuddanian and Aeronian, it was determined that the sediment thickness of the Rhuddanian in the eastern Sichuan depression was generally 10–40 m, but only the upper part of the Coronograptus cyphus belt was deposited in the hinderland of Yichang Uplift, and the sedimentary thickness was only 3–7 m.(4) In the hinderland of the Yichang Uplift, at least five and a half graptolitic belts were missing in Wufeng Formation – Rhuddanian, and the deposition time of Rhuddanian was less than 0.4 Ma.(5) The bentonite dense layers were important sedimentary responses to the strong deflection of the Yangtze basin at the turn of the Ordovician–Silurian, which suggested that four tectonic activity periods existed in the eastern Sichuan depression, including the early stage of the depression, the middle-late stage of the depression, the early stage of the foreland flexure and the development stage of the foreland flexure. The high-quality shale was mainly developed from the early stage to the middle-late stage in the depression.展开更多

The raw material, Ca-bentonite, was modified by anchorament of 3-aminopropyltrietoxisilane （APS） and 3,2- aminoethylaminopropyltrimetoxisilane （AEAPS） in the surface of bentonite sample： This type of new occurrence of bentonite is suitable as a raw material for adsorption process. Adsorption behavior of three bentonite types was strongly depending on pH of adsorbate solution, contact time adsorbent/adsorbate, and initial concentration of Cr（VI）. The results were confirmed by column method and reveals that the adsorption process of materials accorded by the Redlich-Peterson, Sips, Dubinin-Radushkevich, and tang- muir isotherm models. The exothermic entbalpic values reflected a favorable energetic process for chro- mium ions anchored in the material surfaces. The negative Gibbs free energy results supported the spontaneity of three adsorption reactions with Cr（VI） ions.展开更多

A saturated sulfur capacity as high as 196 mg of S per gram of adsorbent was demonstrated. The influence of loading amount of Cu （II） and calcination temperature on adsorptive desulfurization was investigated. Test results revealed that the optimum loading amount of Cu （II） was 15%, and the calcination temperature was 150 ℃. The pyridine-FTIR spectroscopy showed that a certain amount of Lewis acid could contribute to the increase of adsorption capacity. Spectral shifts of the v（C-S） and v（Cu-S） vibrations were detected from the Raman spectra of the Cu （II） complex which was a reaction product of CuBr2 with DMS. According to the hybrid orbital theory and the complex adsorption reaction, the desulfurization of PM and DMS over the CuBr2 modified bentonite is ascribed to the formation of S-M （σ） bonds.展开更多

The lubricating greases were prepared with the resulting organoclays, while the penetration and oil separation of lubricating greases were evaluated, respectively. The surface modification process of montmorillonite(MMT) was analyzed and the thickening mechanism of OMMT was discussed in this study. The experimental results showed that, with an increasing amount of surfactant, the basal spacing between the clay platelets was increasing and the structure of modifier molecules layer in the interlayer was changing from lateral bilayer to paraffin-type bilayer. The optimal properties of lubricating greases were achieved, when the structure of surfactant molecules loaded in the interlayer was the paraffin-type monolayer, which meant that the dosage of modifier was equal to 120—140 mmol/(100g). Meanwhile, it was found that the thickening performance, colloid stability, anti-wear and friction-reducing performance of lubricating greases were improved, when the surfactants were mixed with octadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride(OTAC) and hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride(HTAC). And the optimum mole ratio of two surfactants is was 1:1.展开更多

Potentiometric and mass titration techniques were employed in the batch experimental methods, and the results showed that the point of zero net proton charge(PZNPC) of bentonite at different ionic strength denoted p HPZNPC to be 8.2±0.1. The removal of Ni(II) from the solution increased with an increasing bentonite dosage, with the maximum removal efficiency equating up to 99%. The adsorption of Ni(II) on bentonite increased with an increasing p H value at a p H value of <8.5, and reached a Ni(II) removal efficiency of >99% at a p H value of >10.2. The Ni(II) adsorption performance exhibited different responses to cations(K+, Na+) but was not influenced by the background anions(NO3-, Cl-, and Cl O4-). The adsorption of Ni(II) was dominated by the outer-sphere surface complexation and ion exchange with Na+/H+ on bentonite surface at low p H value, whereas the inner-sphere surface complexation and surface precipitation were the main adsorption mechanisms at high p H value. The adsorption isotherms of Ni(II) on bentonite can be described well by the Langmuir model. The thermodynamic parameters of adsorption, including the Gibbs free energy, the enthalpy change, and the entropy change, at different temperatures indicated that the adsorption of Ni(II) on bentonite was endothermic and spontaneous.展开更多

The volume change indices such as the coefficients of compressibility, volume compressibility, and consolidation （ i. e. av, mv. and cv respectively） and the saturated coefficient of permeability k at different surcharge pressures were determined with the commonly adopted procedures. The swell potentials, swelling pressures, different phases of the swollen specimens were analyzed for the volume change behavior during compression. Experimental results revealed that the swell potential is dependent on the initial dry density, the initial water content and the vertical pressure at which the clay specimens were allowed to swell. The swelling pressure was found to be similar for the specimens with varying water content, showing strong dependency on the initial void ratio. The compression indices （ viz. mv and av） of saturated specimens decreased with an increase in the vertical pressure. About 80% to 90% of the volume change occurred in the primary compression phase under any given vertical pressure. The coefficient of consolidation cr. and the saturated coefficient of permeability k decreased with an increase in the vertical pressure.展开更多

SEM-EDS analysis showed that Se(IV) was reduced to red precipitate Se(0) by sulfite. Se(IV) was sorbed on bentonite with distribution coefficient Kd of(2.6–5.3)×10-4m3/kg in sulfite, nitrate and sulfate solutions, whereas it was hardly sorbed in carbonate and silicate solutions. The effective diffusion coefficients were De =(0.81–7.0)×10-11m2/s for Se(IV) and De =(1.4–4.4)×10-11m2/s for Re(VII). The De value of Se(IV) exhibited a dependence on the inorganic salts in the order of sulfite ≈ nitrate ≈ sulfate > silicate > carbonate, whereas the salts had insignificant effect on Re(VII) diffusion. The results suggest that the discrepancy in diffusion mechanism may lead to the different impact of the salts on the diffusion of Se(IV) and Re(VII) in GMZ bentonite.展开更多

The effective diffusion coefficient, D e, and accessible porosity, εacc, were measured in order to evaluate the impact of humic acid on Re(Ⅶ) diffusion. The D e value was in the range of(5.2–8.3)×10-12m2/s. The diffusion of Re(Ⅶ) was enhanced in the presence of HA, and the D e value increased with the increase of ageing time, indicating that the formation of HA-Re complexes was slow. Moreover, the εacc was in the range of(0.06– 0.16), which is less than the total porosity. It implies that the HA-Re complexes are anions.展开更多

文摘Adsorptive desulfurization for removing propylmercaptan （PM） and dimethyl sulfide （DMS） over CuBr2 modi- fied bentonite was investigated under ambient conditions in this work. A saturated sulfur capacity as high as 196 mg of S per gram of adsorbent was demonstrated. The influence of loading amount of Cu （II） and calcination temperature on adsorptive desulfurization was investigated. Test results revealed that the optimum loading amount of Cu （II） was 15%, and the calcination temperature was 150 ℃. The pyridine-FTIR spectroscopy showed that a certain amount of Lewis acid could contribute to the increase of adsorption capacity. Spectral shifts of the v（C-S） and v（Cu-S） vibrations were detected from the Raman spectra of the Cu （II） complex which was a reaction product of CuBr2 with DMS. According to the hybrid orbital theory and the complex adsorption reaction, the desulfurization of PM and DMS over the CuBr2 modified bentonite is ascribed to the formation of S-M （σ） bonds.

文摘The effects of solution chemistry conditions and adsorbent surface properties on the adsorption of Ni(II) on Laiyang bentonite were investigated via the batch technique. Potentiometric and mass titration techniques were employed in the batch experimental methods, and the results showed that the point of zero net proton charge(PZNPC) of bentonite at different ionic strength denoted p HPZNPC to be 8.2±0.1. The removal of Ni(II) from the solution increased with an increasing bentonite dosage, with the maximum removal efficiency equating up to 99%. The adsorption of Ni(II) on bentonite increased with an increasing p H value at a p H value of <8.5, and reached a Ni(II) removal efficiency of >99% at a p H value of >10.2. The Ni(II) adsorption performance exhibited different responses to cations(K+, Na+) but was not influenced by the background anions(NO3-, Cl-, and Cl O4-). The adsorption of Ni(II) was dominated by the outer-sphere surface complexation and ion exchange with Na+/H+ on bentonite surface at low p H value, whereas the inner-sphere surface complexation and surface precipitation were the main adsorption mechanisms at high p H value. The adsorption isotherms of Ni(II) on bentonite can be described well by the Langmuir model. The thermodynamic parameters of adsorption, including the Gibbs free energy, the enthalpy change, and the entropy change, at different temperatures indicated that the adsorption of Ni(II) on bentonite was endothermic and spontaneous.
文摘This paper reports experimental results regarding statically compacted clay specimens to study the volume change behavior of bentonites. The volume change indices such as the coefficients of compressibility, volume compressibility, and consolidation （ i. e. av, mv. and cv respectively） and the saturated coefficient of permeability k at different surcharge pressures were determined with the commonly adopted procedures. The swell potentials, swelling pressures, different phases of the swollen specimens were analyzed for the volume change behavior during compression. Experimental results revealed that the swell potential is dependent on the initial dry density, the initial water content and the vertical pressure at which the clay specimens were allowed to swell. The swelling pressure was found to be similar for the specimens with varying water content, showing strong dependency on the initial void ratio. The compression indices （ viz. mv and av） of saturated specimens decreased with an increase in the vertical pressure. About 80% to 90% of the volume change occurred in the primary compression phase under any given vertical pressure. The coefficient of consolidation cr. and the saturated coefficient of permeability k decreased with an increase in the vertical pressure.
文摘tert-Butylation of toluene with tert-butanol used as the alkylating agent was investigated over the activated bentonite and HY zeolite used as the catalyst.The influences of various butylation reaction parameters,including the toluene/tert-butanol ratio,the reaction temperature,and the space velocity were discussed.The optimal results were obtained at a reaction temperature of 180 ℃,a space velocity of 4 h-1,and a mole ratio of toluene to tert-butanol equating to 2.The structure and acidic properties of catalyst were characterized by the BET method and the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.Compared with the HY zeolite,the activated bentonite possessed high activity for toluene conversion and high para-selectivity because it had larger pore diameter,smaller micropore surface area and higher ratio of total Lewis acids to total Br nsted acids.

文摘Diffusion behaviors of Se(IV) and Re(VII) in bentonite were investigated by a through-diffusion method in nitrate, sulfate, carbonate and silicate solutions. SEM-EDS analysis showed that Se(IV) was reduced to red precipitate Se(0) by sulfite. Se(IV) was sorbed on bentonite with distribution coefficient Kd of(2.6–5.3)×10-4m3/kg in sulfite, nitrate and sulfate solutions, whereas it was hardly sorbed in carbonate and silicate solutions. The effective diffusion coefficients were De =(0.81–7.0)×10-11m2/s for Se(IV) and De =(1.4–4.4)×10-11m2/s for Re(VII). The De value of Se(IV) exhibited a dependence on the inorganic salts in the order of sulfite ≈ nitrate ≈ sulfate > silicate > carbonate, whereas the salts had insignificant effect on Re(VII) diffusion. The results suggest that the discrepancy in diffusion mechanism may lead to the different impact of the salts on the diffusion of Se(IV) and Re(VII) in GMZ bentonite.

文摘The effect of humic acid(HA) on the diffusion of Re(Ⅶ) was investigated in compacted Gaomiaozi(GMZ)bentonite by the through- and out- diffusion method. The effective diffusion coefficient, D e, and accessible porosity, εacc, were measured in order to evaluate the impact of humic acid on Re(Ⅶ) diffusion. The D e value was in the range of(5.2–8.3)×10-12m2/s. The diffusion of Re(Ⅶ) was enhanced in the presence of HA, and the D e value increased with the increase of ageing time, indicating that the formation of HA-Re complexes was slow. Moreover, the εacc was in the range of(0.06– 0.16), which is less than the total porosity. It implies that the HA-Re complexes are anions.
