Unravelling Lithium Interactions in Non-Flammable Gel Polymer Electrolytes: A Density Functional Theory and Molecular Dynamics Study by Nasser AL-Hamdani, Paula V. Saravia, Javier Luque Di Salvo, Sergio A. Paz, Giorgio De Luca

“…These findings offer insights into the Li⁺ transport mechanism at the molecular scale in the GPE by suggesting that lithium-ion transport does not occur by hopping between polymer functional groups but by diffusion into the solvent/counter anion system. The information provided in the work allows for the improvement of the design of electrolytes in LiMBs to augment both safety and efficiency.…”

Coarse Particle Motion Characteristics in a Double-Stage Slurry Pump Considering Leakage Flow by Hao Jia, Yuqi Wang, Zuchao Zhu, Xianghui Su, Zhenji Tang

“…In the nonleak situation, although the increment of the average kinetic energy of particles through the impeller is more significant than in the leak case, most of them dissipate primarily by more than 10% collision in the bowl diffuser. In the leak or nonleak case, the average kinetic energy of particles was more than twice through the first stage but only 1.1 times through the second stage. …”

Component regulation and high-entropy engineering for enhanced antioxidant and high-temperature mechanical properties of protective films by Shan Wang, Rui Zhang, Mengya Yuan, Xinlei Gu, Tao Zhou, Mao Wen, Kan Zhang

“…It is found that the unique HEN-Al film exhibits excellent oxidation resistance and high-temperature hardness, attributed to the uniform distribution of Al atoms in the robust high-entropy structure, which creates conditions for forming a dense and continuous Al2O3 barrier layer, effectively hindering the diffusion of oxygen into the film interior. This study provides new insights to develop a new generation of high-temperature protective materials.…”
