平时做CV和DPV经常用到支持电解质,如TBAPF6等,最近帮师弟做一个pH调控的实验,他给我的参考文献中没有用支持电解质, 而是用的背景电解质 NaCl,这两者有什么区别呢? 支持电解质 http://goldbook.iupac.org/S06149.html supporting electrolyte An electrolyte solution, whose constituents are not electroactive in the range of applied potentials being studied, and whose ionic strength (and, therefore, contribution to the conductivity) is usually much larger than the concentration of an electroactive substance to be dissolved in it. 背景电解质 background electrolyte ground electrolyte http://www.qiji.cn/baike/Detailed/6162.html 指在极谱分析电解液中所加入的在一定电压范围内不在电极上起反应的过量电解质。主要为消除溶液中待测离子在电场作用下的迁移运动而产生的迁移电流,因为这部分电流不与被测物质的浓度成比例关系。其用量一般为被测物质浓度的50-100倍。选择这类物质的原则是:在溶液中有很好的导电性;与被测物质不发生作用;在被测物质处于还原(或氧化)电位时,不起电极反应。常用的有氯化钾、氯化铵、硝酸钾、盐酸、硫酸、氢氧化钠、醋酸钠、氢氧化铵等。 A.

Abstract To understand the limited cycle life performance and poor energy efficiency associated with rechargeable lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries, the discharge products of primary Li-O2 cells at different depths of discharge (DOD) were systematically analyzed using XRD, FTIR and Ultra-high field MAS NMR. When discharged to 2.0V, the reaction products of Li-O2 cells include a small amount of Li2O2 along with Li2CO3 and RO-(C=O)-OLi) in the alkyl carbonate-based electrolyte. However, regardless of the DOD, there is no Li2O detected in the discharge products in the alkyl-carbonate electrolyte. For the first time it was revealed that in an oxygen atmosphere the high surface area carbon significantly reduces the electrochemical operation window of the electrolyte, and leads to plating of insoluble Li salts on the electrode at the end of the charging process. Therefore, the impedance of the Li-O2 cell continues to increase after each discharge and recharge process. After only a few cycles, the carbon air electrode is completely insulated by the accumulated Li salt terminating the cycling.

Abstract A lithium-air fuel cell combined an air cathode in aqueous electrolyte with a metallic lithium anode in organic electrolyte can continuously reduce O2 to provide capacity. Herein, the performance of this hybrid electrolyte based lithium-air fuel cell under the mixed control of alkalinity and temperature have been investigated by means of galvanistatic measurement and the analysis of electrochemical impedance spectra. Electromotive force and inner resistance of the cell decrease with the increase of LiOH concentration in aqueous electrolyte. The values ranged from 0.5 to 1.0M could be the suitable parameters for the LiOH concentration of aqueous electrolyte. Environment temperature exhibited a significant influence on the performance of lithium-air fuel cell. The Lithium-air fuel cell can provide a larger power at elevated temperature due to the decrease of all resistance of elements. Keywords: Lithium-air fuel cell; Lithium super ionic conductor glass; Electrochemical performance; Galvanistatic measurement; Electrochemical impedance spectra.

There has been a great deal of concern about degradation of the gas diffusion layer located outside the membrane electrode assembly. However, very few studies have been carried out on the degradation process, and no suitable methods for improving the durability of the cell have been found. In this work, the influence on the cell performance and factors involved in the degradation of the gas diffusion layer has been clarified through power generation tests. Long-term power generation tests on single cells for 6000h were carried out under high humidity conditions with homogeneous and inhomogeneous hydrophobic coating gas diffusion layers. The results showed that the increase in the diffusion overvoltage from the gas diffusion layer could be controlled by the use of a homogeneous coating. Post analyses indicated that this occurred by controlling oxidation of the carbon fiber.

Abstract The stability of the high lithium ion conducting glass ceramics, Li1+x+yTi2-xAlxSiyP3-yO12 (LTAP) in alkaline aqueous solutions with and without LiCl has been examined. A significant conductivity decrease of the LTAP plate immersed in 0.057M LiOH aqueous solution at 50°C for 3 weeks was observed. However, no conductivity change of the LTAP plate immersed in LiCl saturated LiOH aqueous solutions at 50°C for 3 weeks was observed. The pH value of the LiCl-LiOH-H2O solution with saturated LiCl was in a range of 7 to 9. The molarity of LiOH and LiCl in the LiOH and LiCl saturated aqueous solution were estimated to be 5.12M and 11.57M, respectively, by analysis of Li+ and OH-. The high concentration of LiOH and the low pH value of 8.14 in this solution suggested that the dissociation of LiOH into Li+ and OH- is too low in the solution with a high concentration of Li+. These results suggest that the water stable LTAP could be used as a protect layer of the lithium metal anode in the lithium/air cell with LiCl saturated aqueous solution as the electrolyte, because the content of OH- ions in the LiCl saturated aqueous solution does not increase via the cell reaction of Li+1/2O2+H2O → 2LiOH, and LTAP is stable under a deep discharge state.

Abstract Automotive fuel cell technology has made considerable progress, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are regarded as a possible long-term solution to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, reduce fossil fuel dependency and increase energy efficiency. Even though great strides have been made, durability is still an issue. One key challenge is controlling MEA contamination. Metal ion contamination within the membrane and the effects on fuel cell performance were investigated. Given the possible benefits of using stainless steel or aluminum for balance-of-plant components or bipolar plates, cations of Al, Fe, Ni and Cr were studied. Membranes were immersed in metal sulfide solutions of varying concentration and then assembled into fuel cell MEAs tested in-situ. The ranking of the four transition metals tested in terms of the greatest reduction in fuel cell performance was: Al3+ Fe2+Ni2+, Cr3+. For iron-contaminated membranes, no change in cell performance was detected until the membrane conductivity loss was greater than approximately 15%.

During discharge, lithium cations flow from the anode through an electrolyte and combine with oxygen at the cathode (typically consisting of porous carbon ) to form lithium oxide Li 2 O or lithium peroxide Li 2 O 2 which is inserted in the cathode; this is coupled to the flow of electrons from the battery's anode to the cathode through a load circuit. Lithium air batteries have higher energy density than lithium ion batteries because of the lighter cathode and the fact that oxygen is freely available in the environment and does not need to be stored in the battery. Theoretically, with oxygen as an unlimited cathode reactant, the capacity of the battery is limited by the Li anode. Lithium air batteries are currently under development and are not yet commercially available. 欢迎留言交流 放假回家 新年快乐哈

We investigated the thermal and flammability properties of mixed electrolytes based on the conventional ethylencarbonate-dimethylcarbonate (1:1wt/wt) - 1M LiPF6 and the hydrophobic ionic liquid N-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (Pyr14TFSI). The results of thermogravimetric analyses and flammability tests of mixed electrolytes of different composition are reported and discussed. An important finding is that though the mixtures with high contents of ionic liquid are more difficult to ignite, they burn for a longer time, once they are ignited.
