Abstract The interfacial instability of the poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based electrolytes impedes long-term cycling and further application all-solid-state lithium metal batteries. In this work, we have shown an effective additive 1-adamantanecarbonitrile, which contributes to excellent performance oxide)-based electrolytes. Owing strong interaction 1-Adamantanecarbonitrile polymer matrix anions, coordination Li + -EO is weakened, binding effect anions strengthened, thereby improving...
Weak capacity to enforce regulations and sanction violators, an emphasis on economic growth in developing countries has led concerns about worsening environmental conditions the potential for these becoming pollution havens multinational corporations. International standards, voluntary programs, public disclosure programs have gained popularity because they engage market participants providing incentives self-regulation substitute lack of domestic regulatory capacity. This paper analyzes...
During their early development, deployable structures were constructed using translational and polar scissor units. The discovery of angulated units revolutionized the field popularized radially geometries. This paper presents a geometric design method for axisymmetric grid made three-dimensional on regular polygonal base. is applied to series forms, namely: positive, zero, negative curvature shapes, validated graphical procedure. also describes kinematic analysis planar rings grids....
Abstract A tripod-scissor unit, unlike planar scissor pairs, consists of three rods connected at an intermediate joint thus forming a spatially transformable unit. Geometrically, unit is axisymmetric but does not possess reflectional symmetry. This paper proposes mirrored assembly approach wherein two units are symmetrically about the mirroring plane. The results in different geometric conditions and motion characteristics. Two types four-unit deployable blocks were made—one out straight...
The interfacial incompatibility of the poly (ethylene oxide)-based electrolytes hinder longevity and further practice all-solid-state batteries. Herein, we present a productive additive 1-Fluoroadamantane facilitating to distinct performance electrolytes. Attributed strong molecular interaction, coordination Li+-EO is reduced 'bonding effect' anion improved. Thus, Li+ conductivity promoted electrochemical window widened. diamond building block C10H15- strengthens stability solid polymer...
Abstract Education of the public is greatly important in order to change approach disasters from reactive preventative. However, this does not eliminate need constantly upgrade and improve designs disaster-relief structures. Disaster-relief shelters are crucial post-disaster rescue recovery as millions people affected by various catastrophes which have only increased over years. Architects engineers can contribute education society about shelter design strategies for disasters. This paper...
Space antennas play a crucial role in space exploration, communications, and navigation. Design challenges have included minimal mass, accurate geometry/configuration, large expansion ratio, minimum stowage volume while satisfying the structural requirements of strength, stiffness, stability. This paper presents new design for deployable frame parabolic antenna. Scissor units are devised such that connectivity between each is made by skipping member. Multiple connected to form expanded...
Mechanisms consisting of spatial scissor units have different kinematic behaviors than those planar scissors. However, their kinematics, especially the mobility analysis, has not received enough attention. Two types deployable assemblies are analyzed in this paper, namely translational and mirrored assemblies. Both made tripod units, instantaneous examined using screw theory. The study strats on configuration where all members identical deployment angle. Firstly, geometric property each...
