  • Publication number: 20240097116
    Abstract: The invention discloses a ternary positive electrode material coated with nitride/graphitized carbon nanosheets and preparation method thereof. The ternary positive electrode material coated with nitride/graphitized carbon nanosheets includes a ternary positive electrode material matrix and a coating layer; the coating layer is composed of nitride and graphitized carbon; and the graphitized carbon is formed in situ in the coating process of the nitride. Compared with a physical mixing method, the in-situ generated carbon layer is connected to the material matrix more tightly, and the formed conductive network is denser. So that the rate performance of the material is improved to the maximum extent. The preparation method is simple and easy to realize industrial production. And the obtained ternary positive electrode material coated with nitride/graphitized carbon nanosheets has excellent rate performance and cycling stability.

  • Publication number: 20230315506
    Abstract: A hybrid state for a virtual machine (VM) in a cloud computing system enables a VM to communicate with other VMs that belong to a virtual network (VNET VMs) while maintaining connectivity with other VMs that do not belong to the virtual network (non-VNET VMs). A non-VNET VM can be transitioned to a hybrid VM that operates in a hybrid state. The hybrid VM can be assigned a private virtual IP address (VNET address) for communication with other VNET VMs. The hybrid VM can continue to use a physical IP address to communicate with other non-VNET VMs. In this way, the hybrid VM is able to maintain connectivity with other non-VNET VMs during and after migration to the VNET. A network stack can be configured to process data packets that are destined for non-VNET VMs differently from data packets that are destined for VNET VMs.
