Abstract

This article discusses the constrained nonlinear optimization formulation for calculating the worst case of lower and upper bounds of relative disturbance gain array (RDGA) for uncertain process models. The proposed approach seeks the minimum and maximum values of the relative disturbance gains subject to the constraints in which the process and disturbance gains are within their uncertainty ranges. RDGA ranges are useful for control structure determination and the related robustness, as they provide information regarding the sensitivity to gain uncertainties. The proposed method is demonstrated by ternary distillation column case study. Closed loop simulation results support the analysis based on the proposed method. It is shown that for a particular degree of uncertainties, the range of process gain determinant should not include zero to ensure the successfulness of the calculation. For the distillation system being studied, the maximum allowable α is 0.339 to avoid the singularity of matrix K.

Abstract

Transition metal oxides (TMOs), due to their high theoretical capacity, and long cycling stability, have received increasing attention as the anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In this work, a kind of TMOs, Co3O4, anchored on nitrogen-doped porous carbon (NC), has been successfully synthesized via calcining cobalt salts and biomass precursor together. The synthesized Co3O4/NC as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries illustrates excellent cycling performances. At a current density of 1.0 A.g-1, the Co3O4/NC anode could maintain a superior high reversible capacity of 1131.4 mAh.g-1 after 2000 cycles. Even if the current increases to 8.0 A.g-1, it still shows a reversible capacity of 502.9 mAh.g-1. Such excellent electrochemical performances could be attributed to the high specific surface area of NC that facilitates the uniform dispersion of Co3O4 nanoparticles on it as well as the abundant porous structure and good conductivity of NC that enhance the Li+ transfer and electrons transfer, respectively. In a word, this work provides a simple strategy for synthesizing the NC-supported pure phase Co3O4 composite anode material for realizing high-performance LIBs.
