  • Patent number: 10530016
    Abstract: An electrolyte for a lithium-ion battery and a lithium-ion battery. The electrolyte for a lithium-ion battery comprises a non-aqueous organic solvent, a lithium salt, and an electrolyte additive. The additive is selected from compounds of formula 1, wherein R1 is selected from unsaturated alkyls having three to six carbon atoms, and R2 is selected from alkylenes having two to five carbon atoms. Because the molecular structure of the additive comprises both unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds and cyanos, polymerization can occur on an electrode surface to form a compound containing multiple cyanos. The compound can be complexed with metal ions on a surface of a cathode material, thereby inhibiting electrolyte decomposition on an electrode surface to improve high-temperature storage and cyclability of a battery.

  • Publication number: 20190027680
    Abstract: A magnetic tunnel junction device includes a pinned magnetic layer, a free magnetic layer embodied as a synthetic antiferromagnetic device, and a nonmagnetic barrier layer sandwiched between the pinned magnetic layer and the free magnetic layer. The free magnetic layer includes a first ferromagnetic layer, a second ferromagnetic layer and a nonmagnetic spacing layer sandwiched between them; and can transform from the antiferromagnetic state to the ferromagnetic state regulated by electric field. Under the coaction of the electric field and the current, the ferromagnetic layer close to the barrier layer of the magnetic tunnel junction is switched to write in data. Also, a magnetic random access memory based on a synthetic antiferromagnetic free layer can write in data under the coaction of the electric field and the current, and has advantages such as simple structure, low power consumption, rapid speed, radiation resistant, and non-volatility.

    Abstract: A magnetic tunnel junction device and a magnetic random access memory based on a synthetic antiferromagnetic pinned layer are disclosed, relating to a multilayer structure which is suitable for a pinned layer, namely a synthetic antiferromagnetic device. Antiferromagnetic coupling of the synthetic antiferromagnetic device can be enhanced by electric field. The synthetic antiferromagnetic device can be used as a pinned layer of the magnetic tunnel junction, and the antiferromagnetic coupling is enhanced under the electric field to ensure that a ferromagnetic layer, which is close to a barrier layer, of the pinned layer will not be switched, thereby achieving stable data writing. The magnetic random access memory is formed by the magnetic tunnel junction based on the synthetic antiferromagnetic pinned layer, has advantages such as, high density, low power consumption, high speed, radiation resistance and non-volatility.
