Lithium–oxygen coin cells without catalyst were assembled in argon atmosphere and tested in pure oxygen. Results showed that the first discharge performance of the batteries was strongly affected by the carbon loading, electrolyte amount and current density. At the carbon loading (0.4 mg/cm2), the electrolyte amount (160 μL/cell) and the current density (0.05 mA/cm2), a high capacity of 4586.5 mAh/g was obtained. The capacity decreased when the carbon loading or current density was increased. And the capacity would have a decrease when the amount of electrolyte was decreased. The highest capacity of 6010.2 mAh/g was obtained by optimizing the combination of carbon loading and electrolyte amount at current density of 0.01mA/cm2. However, the discharge capacity sharply decreased from the second cycle. It may be partly due to the fact that the pores of cathode surface were blocked by discharge products at the end of discharge.

Electrolyte additive tris(trimethylsilyl) phosphite (TMSPi) was used to promote the electrochemical performances of LiNi[Formula: see text]Co[Formula: see text]Mn[Formula: see text]O2 (NCM523) at elevated voltage (4.5 V) and temperature (55[Formula: see text]C). The NCM523 in 2.0 wt.% TMSPi-added electrolyte exhibited a much higher capacity (166.8 mAh/g) than that in the baseline electrolyte (118.3 mAh/g) after 100 cycles under 4.5 V at 30[Formula: see text]C. Simultaneously, the NCM523 with 2.0 wt.% TMSPi showed superior rate capability compared to that without TMSPi. Besides, after 100 cycles at 55[Formula: see text]C under 4.5 V, the discharge capacity retention reached 87.4% for the cell with 2.0 wt.% TMSPi, however, only 24.4% of initial discharge capacity was left for the cell with the baseline electrolyte. A series of analyses (TEM, XPS and EIS) confirmed that TMSPi-derived solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) stabilized the electrode/electrolyte interface and hindered the increase of interface impedance, resulting in obviously enhanced electrochemical performances of NCM523 cathode materials under elevated voltage and/or temperature.

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) plays an important role in achieving high capacity for fifth-generation (5G) networks. Efficient resource allocation is vital for NOMA system performance to maximize the sum rate and energy efficiency. In this context, this paper proposes optimal solutions for user pairing and power allocation to maximize the system sum rate and energy efficiency performance. We identify the power allocation problem as a nonconvex constrained problem for energy efficiency maximization. The closed-form solutions are derived using Karush–Kuhn–Tucker (KKT) conditions for maximizing the system sum rate and the Dinkelbach (DKL) algorithm for maximizing system energy efficiency. Moreover, the Hungarian (HNG) algorithm is utilized for pairing two users with different channel condition circumstances. The results show that with 20 users, the sum rate of the proposed NOMA with optimal power allocation using KKT conditions and HNG (NOMA-PKKT-HNG) is 6.7% higher than that of NOMA with difference of convex programming (NOMA-DC). The energy efficiency with optimal power allocation using DKL and HNG (NOMA-PDKL-HNG) is 66% higher than when using NOMA-DC.
