  • Patent number: 12237470
    Abstract: The invention belongs to the technical field of batteries, and discloses a phosphate-based flame-retardant electrolyte and a lithium-metal battery, and the phosphate-based flame-retardant electrolyte consists of a lithium salt, a phosphate solvent and a diluent. According to the invention, dimethyl (2-methoxyethoxy)methylphosphonate or diethyl (2-methoxyethoxy)methylphosphonate is used as a novel phosphate solvent, an electrolyte system with local high salt concentration is adopted, most phosphate solvent molecules are complexed with Li+ at the local high salt concentration by adjusting dosages of the lithium salt, the phosphate solvent and the diluent, so almost none of free solvent molecules exist, thus inhibiting irreversible decomposition of phosphate molecules on a surface of a li-anode, and meanwhile, the flame retardancy of the phosphate solvent greatly improves the safety of the lithium-metal battery.

  • Publication number: 20240246389
    Abstract: For assembling a heat pump, an apparatus includes a loading part located in an initial section of the fully automatic intelligent production line of an integrated thermal management module. The apparatus includes a first assembling part, located downstream of the loading part, that assembles a refrigerant side components of the heat pump. The apparatus includes a first testing part, located downstream of the first assembly part, that tests the refrigerant side components. The apparatus includes a second assembling part, located downstream of the loading part, that assembles the cooling water side components of the heat pump. The apparatus includes a second testing part, located downstream of the second assembling part, that tests the cooling water side components. The apparatus includes a finished product part, located downstream of the second testing part, that outputs a finished product.

  • Publication number: 20240147987
    Abstract: A method for improving the effect of the oocyte cryopreservation by reducing the mitochondrial temperature is provided. The invention uses a culture medium containing metformin for pretreatment before oocyte freezing; the pre-treated oocytes are then placed in a 20% ethylene glycol solution for balancing, and then the oocytes are placed in a vitrification solution for freezing and are submerged into liquid nitrogen. The method of this invention can effectively reduce the mitochondrial temperature of porcine oocytes, reduce the fluidity of cell membrane, and does not affect the embryonic development after parthenogenetic activation, it can restore the mitochondrial temperature of oocytes after thawing, improve the survival rate after thawing, which can effectively improve the utilization rate of frozen oocytes, it has wide application prospect.
