Copper-induced lattice distortion in Na4Fe3(PO4)2(P2O7) cathode enabling high power density Na-ion batteries with good cycling stability

Na4Fe3(PO4)2P2O7 (NFPP) has attracted attention due to its high theoretical capacity, low cost, and good structure stability for Na-ion batteries. However, its practical application is limited by the low intrinsic electronic conductivity and sluggish ion diffusion kinetics. To tackle those problems, lattice strain engineering by heteroatom doping is applied to tune the local molecular structure and optimize the electrochemical properties of electrode materials. Copper cation (+2) with a smaller ionic radius was chosen to dope at Fe-site in NFPP, and the doping amount was also optimized, illustrating the optimized sample of Na4Fe2.7Cu0.3(PO4)2P2O7 (NFPP-0.3Cu) delivered a high capacity of 119.01 mAh g-1 at 1C (1 C = 129 mA g-1) and a high capacity retention of 82.76% after 3000 cycles at 20 C. Notably, full cells with NFPP-0.3Cu as cathode and hard carbon as anode delivered a high energy density of 230 Wh kg-1 and a power density of 2280 W kg-1. The exceptional electrochemical performances are attributed to the modulated electronic structure and abundant lattice defects by Cu-doping. Furthermore, in-situ X-ray diffraction technique and theoretical calculation have jointly proved that the lattice distortions originated from Cu-doping have reduced the band gap of the NFPP-0.3Cu and altered the coordination environment of Fe, shortening the Fe-O and Cu-O bond lengths, significantly enhancing the intrinsic ionic conductivity and the diffusion kinetics of Na+. This work provides new point of views on lattice strain engineering and reaction kinetics of cathode materials in promoting high energy and power density sodium-ion batteries.

Enhancing road safety with the infrastructure-adaptable NDBA 2.0 concrete median barrier: An Italian experience

Road safety is a crucial global concern because of the high number of fatalities and injuries resulting from road crashes each year. Median crossover collisions are among the most dangerous crashes that happen on highways, frequently leading to serious or fatal injuries. The main approach to decreasing the occurrence of these types of crashes is the installation of median barriers. When the need for such installations arises, road agencies must choose from various options, including concrete barriers, cable barriers, or metal-beam guardrails. This paper is dedicated to the New Dynamic Barrier for Highways (NDBA 2.0), an innovative technology for median barriers developed by the Italian National Road Agency (ANAS), emphasizing its pivotal role in enhancing road safety. It incorporates high-tensile steel and advanced composites, offering robust protection while maintaining a lightweight profile. What distinguishes the NDBA 2.0 is its dynamic nature, featuring an intelligent system that seamlessly adapts to the road infrastructure. Its modular construction, with sections of only 200 cm, allows for easy installation and ensures compatibility across successive road segments. This adaptability reduces construction time while maintaining the highest standards of performance. From a road safety perspective, the NDBA 2.0 offers substantial advantages. Its design contributes to minimizing crash-related costs by reducing the severity of crashes, particularly in the transition zones. The barrier's design allows it to adapt to varying road conditions and traffic volumes, effectively addressing common installation challenges on existing roadways as well. Its ability to be directly supported on the road surface wear layer eliminates the need for costly foundation structures, facilitating quick installation and reducing maintenance expenses. The NDBA 2.0 barrier was designed to eliminate the need for future simulations in the design and verification of transitions between different barriers. For this reason, the NDBA 2.0 barrier has been tested in real-world conditions in class H4 and, consequently, is equipped with CE marking. This study offers a comprehensive analysis of the NDBA 2.0 barrier, whose implementation may provide significant benefits for road safety. Continued research, collaboration, and widespread adoption of the NDBA 2.0 barrier can further enhance road safety on a global scale.
