  • Patent number: 11530281
    Abstract: An ultra-high molecular weight, ultra-fine particle size polyethylene has a viscosity average molecular weight (Mv) greater than 1×106. The polyethylene is spherical or are sphere-like particles having a mean particle size of 10-100 ?m, having a standard deviation of 2-15 ?m and a bulk density of 0.1-0.3 g/mL. Using the polyethylene as a basic polyethylene, a grafted polyethylene can be obtained by means of a solid-phase grafting method; and a glass fiber-reinforced polyethylene composition comprising the polyethylene and glass fibers, and a sheet or pipe prepared therefrom; a solubilized ultra-high molecular weight, ultra-fine particle size polyethylene; and a fiber and a film prepared from the solubilized ultra-high molecular weight, ultra-fine particle size polyethylene may also be obtained. The method has simple steps, is easy to control, has a relatively low cost and a high repeatability, and can realize industrialisation.

  • Patent number: 9379382
    Abstract: A method for modifying a positive electrode material for a lithium-ion battery. The method includes: a) grinding a mixture of manganese dioxide and lithium carbonate, and calcining the mixture at no less than a temperature of 600° C. for no less than 20 hrs in the presence of air, to yield a powdery lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4); b) adding a precursor for forming a graphene-like structure to the powdery LiMn2O4, mixing, curing at a constant temperature of no less than 180° C. for between 2 and 4 hrs, grinding, and calcining at no less than a temperature of 500° C. for between 1 and 50 hrs in the presence of an inert gas, to yield a composite powder comprising a graphene-like structure and LiMn2O4; and c) collecting and sintering the composite powder at a temperature of between 300 and 500° C. for between 1 and 10 hrs in the presence of air.

  • Patent number: 9123953
    Abstract: A method for modifying a positive electrode material for a lithium-ion battery. The method includes: a) stirring a liquid polyacrylonitrile (LPAN) solution at the temperature of between 80 and 300° C. for between 8 and 72 h to yield a cyclized LPAN solution; b) adding positive electrode material for a lithium-ion battery, in a powder form, to the cyclized LPAN solution, and evenly mixing a resulting mixture; c) grinding the mixture, and drying the mixture at room temperature; and d) calcining the mixture at the temperature of between 500 and 1800° C. for between 6 and 24 h in the presence of an inert gas to form a graphene-like structure by the cyclized LPAN. The graphene-like structure is evenly distributed in the positive electrode material of the lithium-ion battery to yield a graphene-like structure modified positive electrode material of the lithium-ion battery.
