The micro-sized SiO-based composite anode material (d-SiO/G/C) for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is achieved via the disproportionation reaction of SiO followed by a pitch pyrolysis reaction. The d-SiO/G/C composite exhibits an initial reversible capacity of 905 mAh g(-1) and excellent cycling stability. The initial Coulombic efficiency of the d-SiO/G/C composite can be significantly improved from 68.1% to 98.5% by the prelithiation of the composite anode using stabilized lithium metal powders (SLMP), which counteracts the irreversible capacity loss caused by the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation and irreversible conversion reaction during the first lithiation. The micro-sized d-SiO/G/C composite anode with SLMP prelithiation maintains an excellent cycling stability, suggesting its great potential in practical application for high specific energy lithium ion batteries.

Overview of the effect of rumen-protected limiting amino acids (methionine and lysine) and choline on the immunity, antioxidative, and inflammatory status of periparturient ruminants

Muhammad Zahoor Khan, Shuai Liu, Yulin Ma, Mei Ma, Qudrat Ullah, Ibrar Muhammad Khan, Jingjun Wang, Jianxin Xiao, Tianyu Chen, Adnan Khan, Zhijun Cao

Summary: Overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during the transition from late gestation to successful lactation in ruminants can lead to oxidative stress (OS), compromising the immune and anti-inflammatory systems and predisposing them to health issues. Metabolic stress during the periparturient period, along with excessive lipolysis, causes immune suppression, abnormal regulation of inflammation, and enhanced oxidative stress. Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in regulating organ metabolism and animal productivity.

Influence of the bedding plane on the propagation of multiple hydraulic fractures

Yulin Ma, Ding Wang, Yongxiang Zheng

Summary: The study investigates the impacts of bedding planes on multiple hydraulic fracturing in unconventional shale reservoirs. Numerical simulations show that bedding planes reduce the non-uniform growth of multiple fractures and prevent hydraulic fractures from passing through the formation with smaller stress contrast. The key problem in hydraulic fracturing in formations containing bedding planes is how to reduce the obstructive effects to increase the length of the main fractures.

Binghan Cui, Han Wang, Renlong Li, Lizhi Xiang, Jiannan Du, Huaian Zhao, Sai Li, Xinyue Zhao, Geping Yin, Xinqun Cheng, Yulin Ma, Hua Huo, Pengjian Zuo, Chunyu Du

Summary: Researchers developed an accurate and fast method for detecting the early internal short circuit (ISC) of Lithium-ion batteries by combining electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) with a deep neural network (DNN). The ISC detection accuracy reached 97.5% for the normal battery with zero false positives, and the proposed method was also proven to be applicable to other batteries. By selecting the most sensitive EIS spectrum to ISC based on the distribution of relaxation times and sensitivity methods, the required EIS measurement time was further reduced and computational efficiency was improved. The results demonstrate the value of EIS spectrum in battery management systems.

Meta Bi-classifier Gradient Discrepancy for noisy and universal domain adaptation in intelligent fault diagnosis

Yulin Ma, Jun Yang, Lei Li

Summary: Unsupervised domain adaptation is important for knowledge transfer in fault diagnosis, but it relies on a clean source domain and a common label set across domains. However, the lack of knowledge on the label set and the presence of unknown classes in the target domain make UDA inapplicable and often impractical. In addition, incorrect annotations are common in industrial dataset curations, but they are largely overlooked in UDA. To address these issues, a Meta Bi-classifier Gradient Discrepancy (MBGD) method is proposed, which incorporates a reliable sample selection approach, a coupled divergence criterion, and a bi-classifier gradient discrepancy for domain adaptation.

Comparative investigation of in situ hydraulic fracturing and high-temperature steam fracturing tests for meter-scale oil shale

Zhiqin Kang, Xing Jiang, Lei Wang, Dong Yang, Yulin Ma, Yangsheng Zhao

Summary: The authors used meter-scale oil shale as the experimental object to study the in situ heating technology for mining oil shale through steam injection. The results showed that hydraulic fracturing started at a pressure 0.34 times lower than the in situ stress, while high-temperature steam fracturing required a pressure 1.2 times higher than the in situ stress. The study also found that horizontal cracks were more easily formed in layered rock masses and that the thermal stress had a stronger influence on the fracture-inducing stress of the orebody.

Solvent effect to modulate nitrogen dopant in Co-N-C catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction acceleration

Lingfeng Li, Guokang Han, Yandi Wen, Yuxin Liu, Rang Xiao, Wei Zhang, Fanpeng Kong, Lei Du, Yulin Ma, Pengjian Zuo, Chunyu Du, Geping Yin

Summary: Rational design of PGM-free catalysts with well-defined structure is crucial for replacing conventional PGM-based catalysts in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), but remains challenging. This study proposes a facile modulation strategy based on solvent effect to tailor nitrogen dopants in MOFs-derived Co-N-C catalysts. DFT calculations suggest that the synergy of pyridinic-N and CoNx significantly enhances the ORR. The optimized Co-N-C catalyst exhibits superior onset potential (Eonset) of 0.915 V and half-wave potential (E1/2) of 0.785 V. This work may pave the way for precise construction of active moieties in large-scale preparation of PGM-free ORR catalysts.

Examining the effects of silicon based additives on the long-term cycling capabilities of cylindrical cells

Anmol Jnawali, Matt D. R. Kok, Francesco Iacoviello, Daniel J. L. Brett, Paul R. Shearing

Summary: This article presents the results of a systematic study on the electrochemical performance and mechanical changes in two types of commercial batteries with different anode chemistry. The study reveals that the swelling of anode layers in batteries with silicon-based components causes deformations in the jelly roll structure, but the presence of a small percentage of silicon does not significantly impact the cycling performance of the cells within the relevant state-of-health range for electric vehicles (EVs). The research suggests that there is room for improving the cell capacities by increasing the silicon loading in composite anodes to meet the increasing demands on EVs.

Towards understanding the functional mechanism and synergistic effects of LiMn2O4-LiNi0.5Mn0.3Co0.2O2 blended positive electrodes for Lithium-ion batteries

Dimitrios Chatzogiannakis, Marcus Fehse, Maria Angeles Cabanero, Natalia Romano, Ashley Black, Damien Saurel, M. Rosa Palacin, Montse Casas-Cabanas

Summary: By coupling electrochemical testing to operando synchrotron based X-ray absorption and powder diffraction experiments, blended positive electrodes consisting of LiMn2O4 spinel (LMO) and layered LiNi0.5Mn0.3Co0.2O2 (NMC) were studied to understand their redox mechanism. It was found that blending NMC with LMO can enhance energy density at high rates, with the blend containing 25% LMO showing the best performance. Testing with a special electrochemical setup revealed that the effective current load on each blend component can vary significantly from the nominal rate and also changes with SoC. Operando studies allowed monitoring of the oxidation state evolution and changes in crystal structure, in line with the expected behavior of individual components considering their electrochemical current loads.
