KGaA, Weinheim 8103 wileyonlinelibrary.com High performance cathodes, including metal oxides,[11–14] phosphates,[15–18] hexacyanometalates,[19–21] sulfur,[22,23] metal sulfides,[24,25] and organic materials,[26–28] have been reported, and porous carbonaceous materials and metallic Sb and Sn anodes also show high capacity and long cycling stability.[29–34] In c...

The different shot peening responds of a grey cast iron (GI) with its flake graphite and a compacted cast iron (CGI) with its vermicular graphite was analyzed and compared in this paper. For peening using identical parameters, CGI showed a larger plastic deformation zone with higher subsurface compressive stresses than GI. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) mapping and backscatter electron...

Self-lubricating polymer compounds are currently used for a wide range of applications such as bearings, gears, and water meters. Under severe conditions such as high pressure, high velocity, and/or high temperatures, the material fails (PV limit). In this study, we investigated the effect of graphite on the tribological properties of polystyrene (PS) with “ball-on-three-plates” tests. Graphite...

Abundant graphite particles occur in amphibolite-grade quartzite of the Archean-Paleoproterozoic Wutai Metamorphic Complex in the Wutaishan area of North China. Petrographic thin section observations suggest that the graphite particles occur within and between quartzite clasts and are heterogeneous in origin. Using HF maceration techniques, the Wutai graphite particles were extracted for furthe...

Despite numerous studies presenting advances in tomographic imaging and analysis of lithium ion batteries, graphite-based anodes have received little attention. Weak X-ray attenuation of graphite and, as a result, poor contrast between graphite and the other carbon-based components in an electrode pore space renders data analysis challenging. Here we demonstrate operando tomography of weakly at...

A homologous series of propylene carbonate (PC) analog solvents with increasing length of linear alkyl substitutes were synthesized and used as co-solvents with PC for graphite-based lithium-ion half cells. A graphite anode reaches a capacity of around 310 mAh/g in PC and its analog co-solvents, with 99.95 percent Coulombic efficiency, similar to the values obtained with ethylene carbonate-base...

graphite oxide constitutes carbon network with oxygen atoms both on hexagonal arrangement and the edge sites. structural and electronic properties for graphite-oxygen complexes have been explored using first-principles total-energy calculations within the local density approximation (lda). band structures and density of states for the propose carbon 3d models are reported. a finite energy gap and...

In this study, Aluminium2024- Graphite composites containing 5, 10, 15 and 20 weight percent of graphite were produced by solid assisted melt disintegration (SAMD) technique which resulted in production of Al/Gr powder mixtures which subsequently consolidated and sintered for preparation of Al/Gr composites. In this technique, powder mixture was prepared by addition of flake graphite (mean diam...

Layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly of polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEM) has become a ubiquitous process for creating functional ultrathin films. Introduced by Decher, the simple deposition of two oppositely charged polyions can be performed on many types of surfaces giving them new functionality based on the type of polyelectrolytes utilized. Incorporating new functional materials such as nanopartic...
