Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a video processing method and apparatus, a computer-readable medium and an electronic device. The method is applied to a first terminal, including: identifying a target object in a current video frame; receiving a special effect setting instruction input by a user; determining a plurality of special effects to be superposed according to the special effect setting instruction; and superposing the plurality of special effects to be superposed with the target object to acquire a processed video frame.

Abstract: A homologous series of cyclic carbonate or propylene carbonate (PC) analog solvents with increasing length of linear alkyl substitutes were synthesized and used as co-solvents with PC for graphite based lithium ion half cells. A graphite anode reaches a capacity around 310 mAh/g in PC and its analog co-solvents with 99.95% Coulombic efficiency. Cyclic carbonate co-solvents with longer alkyl chains are able to prevent exfoliation of graphite when used as co-solvents with PC. The cyclic carbonate co-solvents of PC compete for solvation of Li ion with PC solvent, delaying PC co-intercalation. Reduction products of PC on graphite surfaces via single-electron path form a stable Solid Electrolyte Interphase (SEI), which allows the reversible cycling of graphite.

Abstract: A composite electrode prepared from silicon-graphene material and conductive polymer binder poly (1-pyrenebutyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid) for use in lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract: The invention demonstrates that only 2% functional conductive polymer binder without any conductive additives was successfully used with a micron-size silicon monoxide (SiO) anode material, demonstrating stable and high gravimetric capacity (>1000 mAh/g) for ˜500 cycles and more than 90% capacity retention. Prelithiation of this anode using stabilized lithium metal powder (SLMP®) improves the first cycle Coulombic efficiency of a SiO/NMC full cell from ˜48% to ˜90%. This combination enables good capacity retention of more than 80% after 100 cycles at C/3 in a lithium-ion full cell. We also demonstrate the important connection between porosity and the loading of silicon electrodes. By employing a highly porous silicon electrode, a high areal capacity (3.3 mAh/cm2) is obtained. This method works well to achieve high loading of other high-capacity alloy anodes, the state-of-art graphite anode, as well as a high loading of positive electrodes for LIBs.
