Long-Term Cycle

Long-term sulfur cycle between reservoirs is shown in Fig. 5.9. Important processes for long-term sulfur cycle include formation of sulfur-cOTitaining compounds (e.g., pytrite in sedimentary rocks, sulfates in evaporite), oxidatimi of sulhdes in terrestrial environment, subduction of plate, emissions of volcanic gas and hydrothermal

Application of new types of graphite, found to be more oxidation-proof (in particular, TEG and TEG modified by boron), can largely increase the electrochemical stability of materials used in aqueous electrolyte media. Their high resistance to oxidation and enhanced long-term cycling stability create realistic prerequisites for wide range of applications for such graphite...

On the other hand, when the chemical composition of the surface layer is discussed, distinction should be made regarding the conditions under which such characterizations were carried out and the history of the electrode surface. For example, an electrode surface that was subjected to long-term cycling is certainly different from the surface state of the same... 

While confirming the results reported by Wang et al. that TMP is cathodically instable, the authors also showed that longer alkyl substituents (as in TEP) improved cathodic stability, although, in long-term cycling or storage at elevated temperatures, the reductive decomposition of TEP still caused poor cell... 

Asahi Chemical Industry carried out an exploratory investigation to determine the requirements for cellulose based separators for lithium-ion batteries. In an attempt to obtain an acceptable balance of lithium-ion conductivity, mechanical strength, and resistance to pinhole formation, they fabricated a composite separator (39—85 /cellulosic fibers (diameter 0.5—5.0 /pore diameter 10—200 nm) film. The fibers can reduce the possibility of separator meltdown under exposure to heat generated by overcharging or internal short-circuiting. The resistance of these films was equal to or lower than the conventional polyolefin-based microporous separators. The long-term cycling performance was also very comparable. 

The hydrolytic stability of crosslinked nadimides has been investigated. It was concluded that moisture absorption is responsible for a reversible plastification effect. However after long-term cycling, the Tg decrease becomes non-reversible due to a chemical degradation [107]. 

A third type of negative electrode is based on an alloy of the negative electrode active material with one or more other metals [22], Such anodes offer only limited rechargeability as the alloys lose their dimensional stability over long term cycling due to particle fracture induced by large volume changes encountered...

Systematic random sampling is very convenient both in a manufacturing environment and in the field because it is simple to implement and can easily be incorporated into a work schedule. A drawback, however, is that a long-term cycle will remain hidden if the selected times or points in space are synchronous (coincide) with that cycle. If cycles are suspected or need to be ruled out, then stratified random sampling should be used.
