Here, we design a facile method to prepare mesoporous ZnMn2O4 microspheres with ultrahigh rate performance and ultralong cycling properties by finely tuning the solution viscosity during synthesis. When the current density is raised to 2 A·g^-1, the discharge capacity is maintained at 879 mA·h·g^-1 after 500 cycles. The electro- chemical properties of mesoporous ZnMn2O4 microspheres are better than that for most reported ZnMn2O4. To understand the electrochemical processes on the mesoporous ZnMn2O4 microspheres, in situ Raman spectroscopy is used to investigate the electrode surface. The results show that mesoporous ZnMn2O4 microspheres have a great potential as an alternative to commercial carbon anode materials.展开更多

In order to answer the first two questions, an in situ measurement system comprising a self-designed Raman microscopy and relative optical interference intensity(ROⅡ) system was set up to study the molecular behaviors. A variety of binary mixtures were used as lubricants in the test, and the concentration distribution profile and orientation of the additive molecules in TFL were characterized. The molecular behavior was determined via a combination of shearing, confinement, and surface adsorption. Furthermore, the difference in molecular polarity resulted in different competing effect of surface adsorption and intermolecular interaction, the influence of which on molecular behavior was discussed. Polar additive molecules interacted with the steel surface and exhibited an enrichment effect in the Hertz contact region when added into a nonpolar base oil. No enrichment effect was observed for nonpolar molecules that were added into the nonpolar base oil and polar molecules added into polar base oil. The enrichment of additive molecules enhanced the film-forming ability of the lubricant and resulted in a reduction in the friction coefficient of up to 61%. The orderly arrangement of the additive molecules was another reason for the friction-reducing. A binary multilayer model was proposed to illuminate the molecular behavior in the TFL, and the model was supported by contrary experiment results in elastohydrodynamic lubrication. This research may aid in understanding the nanoscale lubrication mechanism in TFL and the development of novel liquid lubricants.展开更多
