Due to its rich sulfur content and excellent electrical conductivity, vanadium disulfide is a potential material for effectively removing lead from wastewater. The vanadium disulfide material with selective adsorption ability was introduced into CDI technology to construct a coupling technology with both advantages. The n-doped ZIF@vanadium disulfide (ZAC@VS 2 ) composites were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method. Electrosorption experiments show that ZAC@VS 2 material presents the remarkable saturated adsorption capacity to lead(II) ions (239.52mg/g) in the 500mg/L PbCl 2 solution. In the triplex blend system (Fe 3+ /Pb 2+ /Na + ) with each solute density of 100 mg/L, the saturated adsorption efficiency of 85.4% to Pb 2+ can still be maintained. In addition, compared with the Langmuir(R 2 =0.873) adsorption isotherm model, the Freundlich model (R 2 =0.922) can be better used to fit the adsorption process, which proves that the adsorption process is multilayered and heterogeneous. XPS tests and competitive adsorption experiments show that the electric double layer (EDL) and complexation together promote the selective adsorption of heavy metal ions by ZAC@VS 2 . ZAC@VS 2 composite electrode shows excellent performance in the removal of lead ions in battery waste liquid, indicating the potential of introducing ZAC@VS 2 into CDI to remove heavy metal ions.","PeriodicalId":412570,"journal":{"name":"Electrochemistry eJournal","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130891694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This phenomenon causes a significant reduction in the rate performance of the anodes and is detrimental to the development of fast-charging batteries. However, for the Na-Sn battery system, the residual stresses that develop near the interface are not stored, but are relieved by the generation of high-density dislocations in crystalline Sn. Direct-contact diffusion experiments show that these dislocations facilitate the preferential transport of Na and accelerate the Na diffusion into crystalline Sn at ultrafast rates via \"dislocation-pipe diffusion\". Advanced analyses are performed to observe the evolution of atomic-scale structures while measuring the distribution and magnitude of residual stresses near the interface. In addition, multi-scale simulations that combined classical molecular dynamics and first-principles calculations are performed to explain the structural origins of the ultrafast diffusion rates observed in the Na-Sn system. These findings not only address the knowledge gaps regarding the relationship between pipe diffusion and the diffusivity of carrier ions but also provide guidelines for the appropriate selection of anode materials for use in fast-charging batteries.","PeriodicalId":412570,"journal":{"name":"Electrochemistry eJournal","volume":"236 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132925286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we show an unprecedented ultrafast intraband Auger process, electron relaxation between spin-orbit coupling states, and exciton-to-ligand vibrational energy transfer process that all occur exclusively in the CB of the self-doped β-HgS CQDs.

Most of the researches revealed the thermodynamically steady states of materials under electromigration. We presented a comprehensive study of electromigration in pure Sn at 5.5–7.5 × 103 A/cm2 for 5.5 h revealing the effects on crystallinity, microstructure, and electrical property. The present work provided a divergent explanation about the electrical property variation under electromigration by introducing the crystallinity change aspect, as evidenced by the in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) investigations. The in situ XRD analysis showed an integrated intensity decline of diffraction peaks (up to a 90% reduction rate) and the buildup of lattice strain (up to 0.68% beyond the yield point) within the pure Sn strip, revealing a crystallinity degradation phenomenon under electromigration. The atomic-scale lattice appearance showed direct evidence of dislocation production under electromigration as a result of the plastic deformation. The introduction of dislocations formed sub-lattices with various crystal orientations that were responsible for the integrated intensity decline. The increase in electrical resistance after the electromigration experiment corresponded to the consequences of the observed lattice disruption and lattice strain accumulation phenomena. The thermal benchmark experiments evidenced the predominant athermal electromigration effect, rather than the thermal one, on the crystallinity and electrical resistance responses to electromigration.","PeriodicalId":412570,"journal":{"name":"Electrochemistry eJournal","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132181497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
