Cycling behavior

The typical electrochemical profile of the C-LFP/1 mol LiPFs-EC-DEC/Li 18650-type cell cycled at 60 °C is shown in Fig. 7.24b. Under these experimental conditions, this type of C-LFP electrode can be cycled without significant capacity loss for over 200 cycles [142], Actually, this result shows that the cycling life of the

The cycling behavior of sample BrlOOO was tested. Figure 26 shows the capacity versus cycle number for one BrlOOO cell. This cell was cycled with a cunent corresponding to 37 mA/g (10-hour rate) after the first three cycles. 

EAR Energy Resources, which develops Zn-air batteries for portable computers, claims about 250 Wh for a computer unit. The price (in 1994) was 600, including the charger. For the first discharge, ten operating hours are claimed. However, it must be realized that the subsequent cycle behavior is not well established. Sony s Li...

Equations 11 and 12 are only valid if the volumetric growth rate of particles is the same in both reactors a condition which would not hold true if the conversion were high or if the temperatures differ. Graphs of these size distributions are shown in Figure 3. They are all broader than the distributions one would expect in latex produced by batch reaction. The particle size distributions shown in Figure 3 are based on the assumption that steady-state particle generation can be achieved in the CSTR systems. Consequences of transients or limit-cycle behavior will be discussed later in this paper. 

Achieving steady-state operation in a continuous tank reactor system can be difficult. Particle nucleation phenomena and the decrease in termination rate caused by high viscosity within the particles (gel effect) can contribute to significant reactor instabilities. Variation in the level of inhibitors in the feed streams can also cause reactor control problems. Conversion oscillations have been observed with many different monomers. These oscillations often result from a limit cycle behavior of the particle nucleation mechanism. Such oscillations are difficult to tolerate in commercial systems. They can cause uneven heat loads and significant transients in free emulsifier concentration thus potentially causing flocculation and the formation of wall polymer. This problem may be one of the most difficult to handle in the development of commercial continuous processes. 

Thus SLA 1020 features a particular type of morphology, which we were targeting to manufacture in order to improve the packing density, the adhesion to the copper and the cycling behavior. The adhesion test of an electrode prepared with SLA1020 is presented by Figure 5. 

The raw material for the synthesis was methane. Powder of Nickel carbonyl (NC) or powder of nano-diamond (ND) was the catalyst. Attempts to synthesize pyro-carbon on copper powder were not successful. Powder with the composition 70%PC, 30%NC, and also the set of powders with various ratios of PC and ND were tested. Anodes made of the powder 70PC30NC showed satisfactory cycle behavior and had specific capacity 180 mAh/(g of powder) (260 mA-h/(g 0f carbon)) (Fig. 3a). The anodes made of powder xPCyND, irrespective of the components ratio, had specific capacity... 

The material was developed by the Research Institute of Electrocarbon Products (RIECP, Russian Federation) on the basis of natural graphite specially for application in Lithium-Ion cells. The samples were given with symbolic numbers, without certificates. The anodes, made of RIECP powder, had the capacity about 300 mA-h/g. The typical dicharge characteristic is submitted on Fig. 6. Irreversible capacity is about 16%. Concerning the cycle behavior, this material is not as stable as other ones tested (Fig. 10). 

There are a number of informative reviews on anodes for SOFCs [1-5], providing details on processing, fabrication, characterization, and electrochemical behavior of anode materials, especially the nickel-yttria stabilized zirconia (Ni-YSZ) cermet anodes. There are also several reviews dedicated to specific topics such as oxide anode materials [6], carbon-tolerant anode materials [7-9], sulfur-tolerant anode materials [10], and the redox cycling behavior of Ni-YSZ cermet anodes [11], In this chapter, we do not attempt to offer a comprehensive survey of the literature on SOFC anode research instead, we focus primarily on some critical issues in the preparation and testing of SOFC anodes, including the processing-property relationships that are well accepted in the SOFC community as well as some apparently contradictory observations reported in the literature. We will also briefly review some recent advancement in the development of alternative anode materials for improved tolerance to sulfur poisoning and carbon deposition.

A cycling behavior of the MgH mixture with n-Ni was also studied. The cycling process consisted of live desorption/absorption cycles at 300°C. Desorption was carried out at the atmospheric pressure of hydrogen, and absorption was realized under 4.0 MPa pressure of hydrogen for 15 min. XRD after cycling showed formation of a...

Thus it appears that these drugs act at different points to modify cell cycle behavior. The implications of these results in the regulation of glycoconjugate metabolism and their involvement in tumor promotion remains to be seen. Further studies on changes in glycoconjugate metabolism and cell surface patterns as a function of cell cycle should prove very fruitful. 

Openloop Response The openloop responses of a single adiabatic tubular reactor system to +20% step changes in recycle flowrate FR are shown in Figure 6.9. The solid lines represent increases in recycle flow and the dashed lines, decreases. The results show that the system produces limit cycle behavior, alternating between high temperatures and low temperatures. This type of dynamic response is called openloop-unstable behavior in this chapter. 

The 3-stage system is still openloop unstable as shown in Figure 6.19. The same amplification and limit cycle behavior as found in the seven-stage system is observed. 

As shown in Figure 6.22, the cooled reactor with normal kinetics is openloop-stable. The cooled reactor with hot kinetics is openloop unstable, as shown in Figure 6.27. Results for two disturbances are shown 20% decrease (dashed lines) and 20% increase (solid lines) in recycle flowrate. The system exhibits limit cycle behavior with periods that are 20 min for an increase in recycle flow and 40 min for a decrease in recycle flow. Temperatures go as high as 600 K in both cases.
