Lately, the research team of Professor Yang Jun, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, published a paper named Silicon Microparticle Anodes with Self-Healing Multiple Network Binder in the Joule, a new journal in the energy field which is affiliated with Cell Press.
In the paper, a polymer binder, PAA-P(HEA-co-DMA), is designed and synthesized. Its multiple network structure formed with rigid-soft chains and bonds, and special self-healing capability in the electrode, can mitigate the disintegration of particle and the lack of electron conductance caused by the volume change of SiMPs in the charge-discharge process. Thus, the performance of Silicon electrodes is remarkably improved.
A water-soluble polymer binder, is designed and synthesized based on the structure of binder. The complex has self-healing capability and excellent tensile property. It can buffer the strain caused by the volume change of SiMPs and hinder the pulverization of Silicon particles during cycling. Thus, the electrochemical performance of Si electrodes is remarkably improved. Its specific capacity is approximately 1850 mAh/g under the high-current of 5A/g and boasts exceptional electrochemical reversibility.
Moreover, the binder can also be applied to micron SiO₂ negative electrode and can cycle reversibly under the high areal capacities of 9 mAh/cm2. This study is of great significance for the development of high-capacity electrodes with a strong volume effect.

Shifting From Prospect to Customer
02/21/2024 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007All art is process-oriented or procedural—a bold claim that many artists might take issue with. Still, painting with oil on canvas follows a process of building colors from bottom to top; watercolor on paper follows a different process. Learning a musical instrument follows a process, and building the skills to play music with others requires precise communication and a mastery of the song to be played. These are all procedural things.

Sourcing Diversification – Empowering Your Supply Chain for Success
09/13/2023 | Lea Maurel, ICAPE GroupIn today's interconnected and rapidly evolving business landscape, sourcing diversification has emerged as a crucial strategy for organizations aiming to stay competitive and thrive in a dynamic marketplace. The traditional approach of relying on a single source for procurement is being replaced by a more sophisticated and strategic mindset that emphasizes the advantages of exploring multiple procurement channels. This approach not only opens doors to a whole different network of suppliers, but also offers numerous benefits, such as navigating sales increases, ensuring smoother deliveries, and promoting innovation within the organization.
The Shaughnessy Report: Rigid-flex Design No Longer a Niche
09/12/2023 | Andy Shaughnessy -- Column: The Shaughnessy ReportWhen I first started covering this industry in 1999, rigid-flex circuits were considered a niche market. In fact, Compaq was deemed a trendsetter for using rigid-flex in its laptops. Now, analysts at Credence Research predict that the rigid-flex market will top $5 billion by 2026, led in part by the adoption of IoT and the need to connect a variety of smart devices. That’s a pretty big niche. Rigid-flex circuits are everywhere, from servers and smartphones to cameras and pacemakers.
NASA’s New Detectors Could Improve Views of Gamma-Ray Events
