Abstract: The present invention relates to a hydrogen storage alloy, an electrode for a Ni-MH battery, a secondary battery, and a method for preparing the hydrogen storage alloy. The chemical composition of the hydrogen storage alloy is expressed by the general formula La(3.0˜3.2)xCexZrySm(1-(4.11˜4.2)x-y)NizCouMnvAlw, where x, y, z, u, v, w are molar ratios, and 0.14?x?0.17, 0.02?y?0.03, 4.60?z+u+v+w?5.33, 0.10?u?0.20, 0.25?v?0.30, and 0.30?w?0.40. The atomic ratio of the metal lanthanum (La) to the metal cerium (Ce) is fixed at 3.0 to 3.2, which satisfies the requirements of the overcharge performance of the electrode material. A side elements are largely substituted by samarium (Sm) element, that is, the atomic ratio of Sm on the A side is 25.6% to 42%, so as to solve the problem of shortened cycle life caused by the small amount of cobalt (Co) atoms.

Abstract: A composite fabric having self-regulating Infrared emissivity includes meta fibers formed with optical nanostructures and an environment (temperature and/or moisture) responsive mechanism configured to adjust a relative disposition between the optical structures to control the electromagnetic coupling therebetween, thus regulating the infrared emissivity of the composite fabric to maintain a user of the fabric in a temperature/moisture comfort zone. The environment responsive mechanism may include a temperature responsive polymer layer on the fiber capable of expansion/shrinkage depending on the applied temperature, or a moisture responsive fiber changing its shape depending on the moisture level to affect spacing between the optical nanostructures.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a novel synthetic method for producing nanoscale heterostructures, and particularly nanoscale heterostructure particles, rods and sheets, that comprise a metal core and a monocrystalline semiconductor shell with substantial lattice mismatches between them. More specifically, the invention concerns the use of controlled soft acid-base coordination reactions between molecular complexes and colloidal nanostructures to drive the nanoscale monocrystalline growth of the semiconductor shell with a lattice structure incommensurate with that of the core. The invention also relates to more complex hybrid core-shell structures that exhibit azimuthal and radial nano-tailoring of structures. The invention is additionally directed to the use of such compositions in semiconductor devices.
