Kinetic analysis on premixed oxy-fuel combustion of coal pyrolysis gas at ultra-rich conditions: Selective combustion and super-adiabatic flame temperatures

Oxy-fuel combustion of coal pyrolysis gas has recently been proposed to serve as internal heat source of a vertical low-temperature pyrolysis furnace, in order to make the output pyrolysis gas nearly free of nitrogen and widely useful. To keep the pyrolysis temperature and the heat carrier gas volume unchanged from air combustion to oxy-fuel...

A Facile Surface Reconstruction Mechanism toward Better Electrochemical Performance of Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ in Lithium-Ion Battery

Through a facile sodium sulfide (Na₂S)-assisted hydrothermal treatment, clean and nondefective surfaces are constructed on micrometer-sized Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ particles. The remarkable improvement of surface quality shows a higher first cycle Coulombic efficiency (≈95%), a significantly enhanced cycling...
