Giant magnetostrictive materials, such as Terfenol-D, have been used to make a principal driving element in actuator, owing to its fine characteristic that is large strain, high energy density, small hysteretic loss and less performance degradation in room temperature. With the discovery and refining of Terfenol-D, the magnetostrictive actuator has gotten great development for recent twenty years. The free vibration and forced vibratin of linear magnetostrictive actuator is analyzed. The initial state of rod is at rest. The computational results show that the displacement response is synchronous with the current.

Lithium metal batteries have achieved large-scale application, but still have limitations such as poor safety performance and high cost, and limited lithium resources limit the production of lithium batteries. The construction of these devices is also hampered by limited lithium supplies. Therefore, it is particularly important to find alternative metals for lithium replacement. Sodium has the properties of rich in content, low cost and ability to provide high voltage, which makes it an ideal substitute for lithium. Sulfur-based materials have attributes of high energy density, high theoretical specific capacity and are easily oxidized. They may be used as cathodes matched with sodium anodes to form a sodium-sulfur battery. Traditional sodium-sulfur batteries are used at a temperature of about 300 °C. In order to solve problems associated with flammability, explosiveness and energy loss caused by high-temperature use conditions, most research is now focused on the development of room temperature sodium-sulfur batteries. Regardless of safety performance or energy storage performance, room temperature sodium-sulfur batteries have great potential as next-generation secondary batteries. This article summarizes the working principle and existing problems for room temperature sodium-sulfur battery, and summarizes the methods necessary to solve key scientific problems to improve the comprehensive energy storage performance of sodium-sulfur battery from four aspects: cathode, anode, electrolyte and separator.

AbstractHigh-energy-density and low-cost calcium (Ca) batteries have been proposed as ‘beyond-Li-ion’ electrochemical energy storage devices. However, they have seen limited progress due to challenges associated with developing electrolytes showing reductive/oxidative stabilities and high ionic conductivities. This paper describes a calcium monocarborane cluster salt in a mixed solvent as a Ca-battery electrolyte with high anodic stability (up to 4 V vs. Ca2+/Ca), high ionic conductivity (4 mS cm−1), and high Coulombic efficiency for Ca plating/stripping at room temperature. The developed electrolyte is a promising candidate for use in room-temperature rechargeable Ca batteries.

Rechargeable Mg batteries have received intensive attention as affordable rechargeable batteries with high electromotive force, high energy density, and high safety. Mg possesses two valence electrons and has the lowest standard electrode potential (ca. -2.36 V vs. SHE) among the air-stable metals. There is another advantage that Mg metal can be used as an active material because Mg metal hardly forms dendrites. However, the slow diffusion of Mg ions in solid crystals prevents the realization of active materials for Mg rechargeable batteries at room temperature. Although some complex oxides have been reported to work as active materials at higher temperatures, Chevrel compounds are still the gold standards, which work at room temperature. However, the working voltage of the Mg battery using a Chevrel compound for the cathode is only ca. 1.2 V, which is far below that of Li-ion batteries (3-5 V). Nevertheless, Chevrel compounds have the significant advantage that a relatively large space exists in the crystal structure, which allows for fast Mg ion diffusion. In the present study, we investigated some materials with framework structures as cathodes for Mg batteries, which can alleviate the electrostatic constraint between Mg ions and cathode constituents. Specifically, we investigated the redox behavior of the thin films of Prussian blue and Prussian blue analogues in electrolytes containing an Mg salt using electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. In addition, we discuss the electrochemical insertion/extraction behavior of Mg ions and their solvation structures.

Solid-state electrolytes are continually being explored for Li-ion batteries due to their enhanced safety and their enabling of high energy density active materials, particularly Li metal anodes. However, the interface between solid-state electrolytes and Li metal anodes are prone to high impedance due to poor contact, limiting their applicability. Introducing a thin gel polymer electrolyte interlayer to conformally coat solid electrolytes can improve the interfacial contact of Li metal anode and thus reduce the interfacial resistance. Here we used a plasticized poly(ethylene oxide)-based electrolyte with high concentrations of bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonamide lithium (LiTFSI) that show 100% amorphous character. These electrolytes show Li+ conductivity as high as σ = 2.9×10-4 S/cm at room temperature. We discovered by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) with off-gas analysis in conjunction with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy that the electrolyte films had absorbed N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) vapors to form a gel electrolyte. We incorporated the gel electrolyte as an interfacial modification layer between LLZO and Li metal electrodes and found a 58 times reduction in the area specific resistance (ASR) at room temperature.
