Recently, a consensus has been reached that using lithium metal as an anode in rechargeable Li-ion batteries is the best way to obtain the high energy density necessary to power electronic devices. Challenges remain, however, with respect to controlling dendritic Li growth on these electrodes, enhancing compatibility with carbonate-based electrolyt...

Interface modification is a heavily investigated method of extending the lifetime of lithium ion batteries. While many studies have explored the effect of interface coating on the lifetime, the rate capability is often overlooked. In this study, the authors investigated the influence of ultrathin (
A poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) coated Li4Ti5O12 (LTO/PP) composite is synthesized by a facile and convenient approach, which involves dispersing LTO in an aqueous solution of PEDOT: PSS, followed by rotary evaporation accompanied by an ultrasonic procedure. After the coating process, LTO is covered by a homog...
We report a novel Li4Ti5-xWxO12-xBrx (x = 0.025, 0.050 and 0.100) anode material simultaneously doped with W6+ and Br- ions prepared by a simple solid-state reaction in air, aiming to significantly improve electrical conductivity of Li4Ti5O12. Our theoretical calculation predicts that codoping with W6+ on the Ti4+ site and Br- on the O2- site can r...
We investigated the participation and performance trends of ultra-endurance triathletes from all nationalities competing in a Double Iron ultra-triathlon (7.6-km swim, 360-km cycle and 84.4-km run) from 1985 to 2010. A total of 1854 athletes participated in 92 Double Iron ultra-triathlons. The majority of the winners came from Europe with 72 victor...

Derived from the Pseudo Two-Dimensional mathematical structure, a simplified electrochemical and thermal model of LiFePO4-graphite based Li-ion batteries is developed in this paper. Embedding the porous electrode theory, this model integrates the main design parameters of Li-ion systems and its partial differential equations mathematical structure ...
