Thermal Strain

Thermal Strain

Thermal strain is a concept that arises when we consider how temperature changes affect structures. Unlike the conventional assumption that structures remain constant under load, real-world scenarios often involve temperature fluctuations that can significantly impact these structures. Consider a homogeneous rod with a uniform cross-section resting freely on a flat horizontal surface. If the rod's temperature increases, the rod elongates. This elongation is proportional to the temperature...

Diversity of Archaea IV

Hyperthermophilic archaea are a group of extremophiles thriving at temperatures above 80°C, often in hydrothermal vents and volcanic soils where conditions surpass the boiling point of water. At such temperatures, proteins, membranes, and DNA in most organisms degrade, but hyperthermophiles have evolved remarkable adaptations to maintain stability and function.Unique Cellular FeaturesHyperthermophilic membranes are composed of a monolayer of biphytanyl tetraether lipids, which resist thermal...

Background:

Solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) instability on hard carbon (HC) anodes hinders sodium-ion battery (SIB) application, particularly under high-temperature cycling.
Developing robust SEI layers is crucial for enhancing SIB performance and cycle life.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce negative thermal expansion (NTE) oxide ZrW2O8 to catalyze SEI formation and improve its structural durability.
To investigate the effect of NTE ZrW2O8 on interfacial Na+ transfer and initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) in SIBs at elevated temperatures.

Main Methods:

Incorporation of NTE ZrW2O8 into HC anodes.
Electrochemical testing of HC anodes and full SIB cells at various temperatures (0-80 °C).
Analysis of SEI properties, including thermal strain mitigation and mechanical stability.

Main Results:

NTE ZrW2O8 effectively catalyzed SEI formation, significantly enhancing interfacial Na+ transfer and ICE.
The optimized HC anode exhibited 93.3% ICE and sustained over 8000 cycles at 5.0 A g-1.
Remarkable capacity retentions were achieved at high temperatures: 86.3% at 60 °C and 63.4% at 80 °C.
Full battery capacity retention at 60 °C improved from 22.8% to 64.0%.

Conclusions:

NTE ZrW2O8 imparts self-relieving functionality and mechanical elasticity to the SEI, improving temperature tolerance and stability.
This novel thermal strain modulation strategy shows great promise for designing stable SIBs under extreme conditions.
