Study On The Contribution Of Cobalt Additives To Foam Nickel Electrodes, Xiao-Feng Li, Tong-Chi Xia, Shao-Peng Yi, Xiu-Juan Gu, Yu-Lin Song

Journal of Electrochemistry

Two incorporation ways of the cobalt additives into foam nickel electrodes,i.e.the co-precipitated and admixed method are used.The results of X-ray diffraction(XRD),cyclic voltammetry,electrochemical impedance spectrum(EIS)and galvanostatic charge-discharge curves show that(Ⅰ)there is a decrease in intensity and increase in half peak breadths of the diffraction peaks of Ni(OH)2 with co-precipitated cobalt additive;(Ⅱ)the electrochemical activity of nickel hydroxide can be improved by both incorporation ways and the effect of admixed CoO is more notable;(Ⅲ)β-CoOOH derived from admixed CoO is not stable at lower potential,thus results in an irreversible capacity loss of nickel-metal-hydride(Ni-MH)battery after imposed overdischarged-state storage.

Local Effective Potential Theory: Nonuniqueness Of Potential And Wave Function, Viraht Sahni, Marlina Slamet, Xiao-Yin Pan

Physics Faculty Publications

In local effective potential energy theories such as the Hohenberg-Kohn-Sham density functional theory (HKS-DFT) and quantal density functional theory (Q-DFT) electronic systems in their ground or excited states are mapped to model systems of noninteracting fermions with equivalent density. From these models, the equivalent total energy and ionization potential are also obtained. This paper concerns the nonuniqueness of the local effective potential energy function of the model system in the mapping from a nondegenerate ground state, the nonuniqueness of the local effective potential energy function in the mapping from a nondegenerate excited state, and in the mapping to a model …

Adaptive Treatment Of Van Der Waals Interactions In Empirical Bond-Order Potentials With Application To Junction Formation In Carbon Nanotubes, Aibing Liu May 2007

Adaptive Treatment Of Van Der Waals Interactions In Empirical Bond-Order Potentials With Application To Junction Formation In Carbon Nanotubes, Aibing Liu

All Dissertations

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of reactive condensed-phase hydrocarbon systems is a challenging research area. The AIREBO potential is particularly useful in this area because it can simulate bond breaking and bond forming during chemical reactions. It also includes non-bonded interactions for systems with significant intermolecular interactions.

The first part of this dissertation describes a method to adaptively incorporate van der Waals interaction of carbon atoms into the AIREBO force field. In bond-order potentials, the covalent bonding interactions adapt to the local chemical environment, allowing bonded interactions to change in response to local chemical changes.
Non-bonded interactions should adjust to their …

Biophysical Characterization Of A Beta-Peptide Bundle: Comparison To Natural Proteins, E. James Petersson, Cody J. Craig, Douglas S. Daniels, Jade X. Qiu, Alanna S. Schepartz Apr 2007

Biophysical Characterization Of A Beta-Peptide Bundle: Comparison To Natural Proteins, E. James Petersson, Cody J. Craig, Douglas S. Daniels, Jade X. Qiu, Alanna S. Schepartz

Chemistry Faculty Publications

We recently described the high-resolution X-ray structure of a helical bundle composed of eight copies of the β-peptide Zwit-1F. Like many proteins in Nature, the Zwit-1F octamer contains parallel and antiparallel helices, extensive inter-helical electrostatic interactions, and a solvent-excluded hydrophobic core. Here we explore the stability of the Zwit-1F octamer using circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, analytical ultracentrifugation (AU), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and NMR. These studies demonstrate that the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of Zwit-1F closely resemble those of α-helical bundle proteins. Together these studies should provide a model for the design of β-peptide proteins with biological functions.

Journal of Electrochemistry

Nano-silicon oxide was doped into a novel comblike polyether,poly(3-(methoxy(triethylenoxy))methyl-3'-methyloxetane) to prepare a series of composite polymer electrolyte.The ion conductivity measurement revealed that the composite polymer electrolyte added with 5% weight fraction of SiO2 has the highest ion conductivity of 7.8×10-5 S/cm at 30℃ and 4.5×10-4 S/cm at 80℃,which is increased 30%~60% as compared to the polymer electrolyte without adding any SiO2.DSC results implied that the nano-silicon oxide inserts into the macromolecule chains to increase the free volume and decrease the glass transition temperature to enhance the ion conductivity.In addition,it seems that the crystallization occurred due …
