Herein, a metal-organic framework (MOF), i.e., ZIF-8, is applied to regulate Li+ solvation structure via unsaturated metal-ion sites to achieve uniform Li+ distribution and Li deposition.
To demonstrate the capability of MOFs on anion adsorption and ion-distribution regulation, a MOF material with stable structure, i.e., ZIF-8, has been applied as electrolyte additive in Li symmetrical cell to realize uniform Li deposition.
Results and Discussion The crystal phase, structure and morphology of ZIF-8 particles were firstly characterized to ensure the successful synthesis process.

The blend with 10 pbw (parts by weight) PS presented an EP continuous phase structure, and both blends with 20 pbw and 30 pbw developed into a bi-continuous phase structure.
Especially, structure and electrical properties of the CPC were studied.
The conductive behaviors of the blends still obey the percolation principle, and the blend with EP continuous phase structure has a lower percolation threshold than the blends with bi-continuous phase structure, which was attributed to the defects in the bi-continuous phase structure.
The ε of the blends with bi-continuous phase structure show stronger frequency dependences, and are higher than with EP continuous phase structure at the low frequency region.

The diffraction p attern is indexed on the basis of pseudocubic structure[10].
Whether the tweed structure shown in Fig. 1 is indeed due to coherency strain needs a further study.
A schematic for a modulated structure with 5a superlattice composed of dimers and trimers.
(a) Basic unit board, (b) Superlattice diffraction at z = <001> and spot streaks including diffuse scattering along y = <010>, (c) Tweed structure separated at tens of nanometers, and (d) Wavy modulated structure of spherical domains.
When such an arrangement of dimers and trimers is extended to the z direction and thus the lattice displacements are viewed in 3 dimension, both a tweed structure (Fig.3c.) and a wavy modulated structure of tiny spherical domains (Fig.3d.) can be expected.

Effect of composite additives on ZnO varistor ceramics Jianfeng Zhua, Guoquan Qib, Haibo Yang and Fen Wang Key Laboratory of Auxiliary Chemistry & Technology for Chemical Industry, Ministry of Education Shanxi University of Science & Technology, Xi’an 710021, China azhujf@sust.edu.cn, bqgqstar@163.com Key words: ZnO; varistors; additives; microstructure; electrical properties.
The microscopic structure and composition were analyzed by SEM and XRD respectively, and the electrical properties were investigated by a DC parameter instrument for varistors.
Both methods yielded a homogenous fine mixed powder due to the more refined grain size of the composite additives and the more uniform mixture of the composition structure.
The pyrogenic decomposition was deemed the preferable option for preparing the varistors due to its favorable microscopic structure and optimum electrical properties: a varistor voltage of 561 V/mm, a non-linear coefficient of 75, and a leakage current (IL) of 0.45 µA.

The composition and structure of the grafts and cellulose, phase transition properties and morphology of grafts were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer(FTIR), differential scaanning calorimentry(DSC) and optical microscopy.
The chemical structures of Cellulose and PEGA-g-CEA were characterized with a Spectrum One-B FTIR spectrometer(PerkinElmer,USA).
The above results verified that the grafting copolymerization reaction between Cellulose and PEG were successfully completed and coincided with the structure of the aimed products, which illustrated that PEG was successfully grafted on to the Cellulose through ACL as chain extender.

X-ray analysis showed that all the compositions crystallize with cubic spinel structure.
Furthermore, there is no extra peaks for all compositions, which indicates that all the samples crystallize in single-phase cubic structure with Fd3m space group.
The band gap energy decreases with increasing Ni content, due to the difference in the electronic structure of dopant.
