  • Publication number: 20220148212
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for measuring surface tension based on an axisymmetric droplet contour curve. The method comprises: photographing a suspended droplet image, and extracting a droplet contour curve; selecting a measurement point on the droplet contour curve; and calculating the surface tension of a liquid using the following formula ? = ?? ? ? gV + P ? ? ? ? ? R 2 2 ? ? ? ? R ? ? sin ? ( ? ) , wherein ? is the surface tension of the liquid, ?? is the density difference between the liquid and the atmosphere, g is the local gravitational acceleration, P is the pressure at the cross section of the droplet cut from a horizontal plane of the measurement point, R is the radius of a circular surface formed by cutting the droplet, ? is the inclination angle between the tangent line of the measurement point on the droplet and the horizontal plane, and V is the droplet volume at the lower part of the cross section of the droplet.

  • Patent number: 11316195
    Abstract: Energy storage materials, and specifically, an electrolyte and an electrochemical device, where the electrolyte includes an additive A and an additive B, the additive A is selected from multi-cyano six-membered N-heterocyclic compounds represented by Formula I-1, Formula I-2 and Formula I-3, and combinations thereof, and the additive B is at least one sulfonate compound. The electrochemical device includes the above electrolyte. The electrolyte can effectively passivate surface activity of the positive electrode material, inhibit oxidation of the electrolyte, and effectively reduce gas production of the battery, meanwhile the electrolyte can be adsorbed on catalytically active sites of the graphite surface to form a stable SEI film, thereby effectively reducing side reactions. The electrochemical device using the electrolyte has good high temperature and high voltage cycle performance and storage performance.
