The use of metal–organic frameworks in the separator membrane lithium-ion batteries is an interesting subject study for next generation energy storage devices. In this work, different poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) / framework (MOF) based separators were prepared using three distinct MOFs, and properties these membranes studied. selected MOFs MOF-808, UiO-66-NH2 MIL-125 are characterized by sharing a common building block (cluster or linker) possessing relatively...
The analyzer detector system continuous angle multiple energy analysis will be installed on the cold-neutron triple-axis spectrometer RITA-2 at SINQ, PSI. CAMEA is optimized for efficiency in horizontal scattering plane enabling rapid and detailed mapping of excitations. As a novelty design employs series several sequential upward arcs. Each arc set to different, fixed, final scatters neutrons towards position sensitive detectors. Thus, with different energies are recorded simultaneously...

Atomic resolution holography is based on two concepts. Either the emitter of radiation used embedded in sample (internal source concept) or, account optical reciprocity law, detector forms part concept). In many cases, holographic objects (atoms and nuclei) simultaneously adopt roles both detector. Thus, recorded image contains a mixture inside holograms. When reconstructing one type hologram, presence other hologram causes serious distortions. present work, we propose new method, so-called...
