At this stage, the performance of ZIBs is still limited by cathode materials. In this work, we have constructed a ZIBs cathode material-V_(2)O_(3)@N–C, through surface coating and N atom doping. The N-doped carbon coating endows V_(2)O_(3)@N–C with excellent structural stability and enhances its electrical conductivity. As a result,V_(2)O_(3)@N–C cathode delivers exceptional reversible of Zn^(2+) intercalation/deintercalation. The fabricated Zn/V_(2)O_(3)@N–C batteries exhibit high capacity of 274.6 mAh·g^(-1) at 5 A·g^(-1) and excellent capacity retention of 94% after 2000 cycles. The reversible intercalation/deintercalation of Zn^(2+) in the V_(2)O_(3)@N–C cathode is proved by ex-situ testing methods. It is believed that this work should inject new vitality into the development of ZIBs cathode.展开更多

The anticorrosion coating lies in the midclle of two entirely different materials： a highway steel box bridge deck and a paved layer, which is used as anticorrosion and waterproof coating for the steel bridge deck. For our study, electrochemical corrosion and pull strength experiments have been selected for the investigation of the corrosion properties of inorganic zinc rich coating, epoxy zinc rich coating and arc sprayed zinc coating. The adhesive strength between the coatings and the panel, and the effect of the coating corrosion on the shear properties of the paved layers including cast asphalt, thermal asphalt mortar, epoxy asphalt and modified asphalt con- crete have been investigated. The results show that the adhesive strength between the coatings and the bridge panel is controlled by the method of pre-processing rust removal. Coating by sandblasting has stronger adhesive strength than coating by shot peening. The results also reveal that shear strength of the paved layer is affected by the corrosion product of zinc coating. The arc sprayed zinc coating has stronger shear strength than zinc rich coatings.展开更多
