TL;DR: First-principles calculations demonstrate the promising potential of boron-doped graphene to serve as an anode for a rechargeable Na-ion battery and suggest that it has a high potential to reach good rate performance.
Abstract: The Na-ion battery has recently gained a lot of interest as a low-cost alternative to the current Li-ion battery technology. Its feasibility strongly depends on the development of suitable electrode materials. In the present work we propose a novel anode candidate, boron-doped graphene, for the Na-ion battery. Our first-principles calculations demonstrate that the sodiation of boron-doped graphene well preserves its structural integrity. The 2D-BC3 anode has the average sodiation voltage of 0.44 V in an appropriate range to avoid the safety concerns caused by the formation of dendritic deposits. The capacity of the 2D-BC3 anode reaches ∼2.04 times that of the graphite anode in a Li-ion battery and ∼2.52 times that of hard carbon in a Na-ion battery. The high electronic mobility and Na mobility on boron-doped graphene indicates that it has a high potential to reach good rate performance. These suggest the promising potential of boron-doped graphene to serve as an anode for a rechargeable Na-ion battery.

11 Dec 2013TL;DR: In this paper, the abnormality determination unit (810) determines whether or not there is an abnormality (shift pattern abnormality) in a combination of shift signals provided from a shift position sensor.
Abstract: An ECU (800) includes an abnormality determination unit (810), a condition determination unit (820) and a running control unit (830). The abnormality determination unit (810) determines whether or not there is an abnormality (shift pattern abnormality) in a combination of shift signals provided from a shift position sensor. After occurrence of the shift pattern abnormality is determined, the condition determination unit (820) determines whether or not a first condition that a shift pattern changes into a normal pattern of a drive range is satisfied, and whether or not a second condition that a vehicle is running (a driver has an intention to cause the vehicle to run) is satisfied. When occurrence of the shift pattern abnormality is determined, the running control unit (830) stops generation of driving force of the vehicle and prohibits switching to the drive range. When the condition determination unit (820) determines that the above-mentioned first condition and second condition are satisfied after occurrence of the shift pattern abnormality is determined, the running control unit (830) switches the shift range to the drive range indicated by the shift pattern and recovers the driving force.

15 Mar 1988TL;DR: In this article, a process for producing a composite material composed of a polymer and the layered silicate constituting the clay mineral being connected to the polymer through ionic bonding is described.
Abstract: Provided herein is a process for producing a composite material composed of a polymer and the layered silicate constituting the clay mineral being connected to the polymer through ionic bonding. The process comprises contacting a layered clay mineral with a swelling agent in the presence of a dispersion medium, thereby forming a complex, mixing said complex containing said dispersion medium with a monomer, and polymerizing said monomer contained in said mixture. The process permits the economical and efficient production of a composite material in which the layered silicate is uniformly dispersed.

04 Nov 2010TL;DR: In this paper, a non-contact charging system with a DC/DC converter and a battery has been described, where the duty cycle of the converter is controlled such that the input impedance of the resonance system at the resonant frequency and the output impedance of a high frequency power source match each other.
Abstract: A resonance type non-contact charging system is disclosed that includes a resonance system. The resonance system has a primary side resonance coil, a secondary side resonance coil, a power converting section having a DC/DC converter, and a battery. The charging system has a controlling section that controls the DC/DC converter. The controlling section controls the duty cycle of the DC/DC converter such that the input impedance of the resonance system at the resonant frequency and the output impedance of a high-frequency power source match each other.
