  • Publication number: 20240097103
    Abstract: A surface-modified composite zinc-based negative electrode, a preparation method thereof, and a battery are provided. The composite zinc-based negative electrode includes a zinc matrix material, a nano inorganic metal/alloy modified layer, and an organic polymer protective layer. The nano inorganic metal/alloy modified layer can increase hydrogen evolution overpotential of the composite zinc-based negative electrode, inhibit the generation of hydrogen on the negative electrode surface and occurrence of side reactions. The organic polymer protective layer can enhance the zinc ion concentration and deposition uniformity at the electrode interface, and improve the dendrite problem caused by uneven zinc deposition-dissolution during the charging and discharging process. The application of the modified composite zinc-based negative electrode in aqueous zinc-based batteries can improve their cycling stability under high current and high utilization conditions and show good rate performance and cycling life.

  • Patent number: 10956395
    Abstract: There is provided an association analysis method and apparatus. An original database is divided into projection databases, each not contributing to a support count of a frequent item set of another. The projection databases are used for sequential-pattern association analysis performed respectively by nodes corresponding to the projection databases. Local frequent item sets and corresponding support counts obtained by the nodes are combined. Since an established projection database does not contribute a support count of a frequent item set of another projection database, different nodes can perform association mining, including pruning, on different projection databases respectively.
