Self-healing and wearable conductive hydrogels with dynamic physically crosslinked structure

Traditional hydrogels are easily frozen or evaporated under colder or hotter temperatures, resulting in their performance degradation. In this paper, polyacrylic acid, sodium alginate, carbon nanotubes, water, and glycerol are used to synthesize self-healing, wearable, freezing resistance, and dry resistance conductive hydrogels with interpenetrating crosslinking network structure. The dynamic cross-linking network structure of the hydrogel can rapidly recover and restructure after damage. In addition, the conductive hydrogels exhibit excellent adhesion to various materials (including PTFE, iron, glass, plastic, and skin). Conductive hydrogel has excellent strain-electric sensing properties, and has high sensitivity, significant stability and repeatability. The conductive hydrogel can be used to test the movement of fingers and knee joints by strain sensing, and has excellent, sensitive, and stable resistance response. Therefore, the conductive hydrogel can be used as a wearable strain sensor for real-time detection of human joint movement. The hydrogel has better environmental adaptability and broad application prospects.

     

Using “intercalation bridging” to effectively improve the electrothermal properties of sheet graphite / ultrafine carbon powder conductive paste for screen printing

Electrothermal materials can easily and controllably convert electric energy into heat energy, and are widely used in many electrothermal fields. In this paper, a series of conductive pastes were simply prepared by ball milling, and their rheological and electrothermal properties were studied. Phenolic resin was used as curing agent of epoxy resin and rheological modifier, which could make the paste have very good printing applicability. Ultrafine carbon(UC) powder has excellent dispersion effect. Sheet carbon materials such as graphite powder(GP), graphite nanosheet(GS) and graphene(GE) would improve the performance of paste using only UC as conductive filler. It was proved that GE with the smallest thickness has the most obvious lifting effect. UC was gathered around the graphene sheet, as a bridge between graphene sheets. GE could also be connected with each other to build a more effective and denser conductive path. The electrothermal film could reach 199°C under 30 V voltage, increasing by 254.7% compared with the electrothermal film with only UC as conductive filler. The electrothermal film had a short response time, good recyclability and excellent flexibility. The electrothermal film also had certain electromagnetic shielding efficiency. The electromagnetic shielding efficiency SE could reach about 20 dB at 30–1500 MHz, and the ratio of field strength before and after attenuation SE_% could reach 97%?+?. This electrothermal film has simple preparation process, good printing applicability, controllable film resistance, excellent flexibility, fast response speed and good recyclability. It is suitable for large-scale preparation and has broad application prospects in many scenarios.

     

An active balancer with rapid bidirectional charge shuttling and adaptive equalization current control for lithium-ion battery strings

This article proposes an active balancer, which features bidirectional charge shuttling and adaptive equalization current control, to fast counterbalance the state of charge (SOC) of cells in a lithium-ion battery (LIB) string. The power circuit consists of certain bidirectional buck-boost converters to transfer energy among the different cells back and forth. Owing to the characterization of the open-circuit voltage (OCV) vs SOC in LIB being relatively smooth near the SOC middle range, the SOC-inspected balance strategy can achieve more precise and efficient equilibrium than the voltage-based control. Accordingly, a compensated OCV-based SOC estimation is put forward to take into account the discrepancy of SOC estimation. Besides, the varied-duty-cycle (VDC) and curve-fitting modulation (CFM) methods are devised herein to tackle the problems of slow equalization rate and low balance efficacy, which arise from the diminution in balancing current as the SOC difference between the cells decreases in the later duration of equalization especially. The proposed strategies have taken the battery nonlinear characteristic and circuit parameter nonideality into account and can adaptively modulate the duty cycle with the SOC difference to keep balancing current constant throughout the balancing cycle. Simulated and experimental results are given to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the same prototype constructed. Compared with the fixed duty cycle and the VDC methods, the proposed CFM has the best balancing efficiency of 81.4%, and the balance time is shortened by 27.1% and 18.6%, respectively.

Performance of a Degassing Cyclone with Main and Subsidiary Chambers

Based on the premise that large bubbles are removed in larger cyclones and small bubbles in smaller cyclones, a combined degassing cyclone with main and subsidiary chambers was designed to enhance liquid degassing. The pressure loss, liquid flow rate at the gas outlet, split ratio, gas flow rate at the liquid outlet, and degassing efficiency of the degassing cyclone were measured and calculated. Pressure loss correlations were established which relates the Euler number to the gas and liquid Reynolds numbers in the main chamber. Most cases exhibit a degassing efficiency greater than 0.998 when the liquid flow rate is more than 0.7 m³h^?1. The contours of pressure loss, split ratio, and degassing efficiency provide an effective guidance for designing a degassing cyclone.
