文摘This study focuses on the impact of Gd^(3+),Sm^(3+),Er^(3+).Y^(3+),and Bi^(3+)multi-doping on the crystal structure,microscopic surface features,and ionic conductivity of cerium dioxide in the Ce_(1-x)(Gd_(1/5)Sm_(1/5)Er_(1/5)Y_(1/)_5Bi_(1/5))_(x)O_(2-δ)(GSEYB)system.This system holds promise as a solid electrolyte material for low and medium-temperature solid oxide fuel cells.The powders of Ce_(1-x)(Gd_(1/5)Sm_(1/5)Er_(1/5)Y_(1/5)Bi_(1/5))_(x)O_(2-δ)(x=0,0.10,0.15,0.20,0.25,0.30)were synthesized using the solid-phase reaction method.The GSEYB electrolytes were comprehensively investigated for their phase structure,microstructure,oxygen vacancy concentration,and ionic conductivity using X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),and impedance spectroscopy.XRD diffraction patterns confirm a cubic fluorite-type structure with Fm3m space groups in all multi-doped systems.After sintering at 1400℃for 10 h,the relative density of doped samples exceeds 96%.In terms of electrical properties,the Ce_(0.75)Gd_(0.05)Sm_(0.05)Er_(0.05)Y_(0.05)Bi_(0.05)O_(2-δ)(x=0.25)electrolyte exhibits the highest ionic conductivity(σ_(t)=4.45×10^(-2)S/cm)and the lowest activation energy(E_(a)=0.79 eV)at 800℃.The coefficient of thermal expansion of the developed electrolyte aligns well with that of the commonly used electrode materials.This compatibility positions it as a highly promising candidate for utilization as an electrolyte material in solid oxide fuel cells(SOFCs).

文摘Negative thermal expansion(NTE)is a notable physical property where a material’s volume decreases instead of increasing when heated.The identification of NTE materials is crucial for thermal expansion control engineering.Most NTE materials exhibit NTE only within a narrow temperature range,restricting their applications.Achieving NTE across a broad temperature range remains a significant challenge.This study developed a novel PbTiO_(3)-based system,(1-x)PbTiO_(3–x)BiLuO_(3),incorporating rare-earth elements,using a distinctive high-pressure and high-temperature synthesis technique.We achieved NTE across a broad temperature range by coupling lattice(c/a)with ferroelectric order parameters.The incorporation of BiLuO_(3)resulted in distinctive ferroelectric characteristics,including increased tetragonality,spontaneous polarization,and NTE over a broad temperature range.NTE over an extended temperature range has been achieved in 0.95PbTiO_(3)–0.05BiLuO_(3)(■=−1.7×10^(–5)K^(−1),300–840 K)and 0.90PbTiO_(3)–0.10BiLuO_(3)(■=−1.4×10^(–5)K^(−1),300–860 K),compared to pristine PbTiO_(3)(■=−1.99×10^(–5)K^(−1),300–763 K).The improved tetragonalities and broader NTE temperature range result from the strong hybridization of Pb/Bi–O and Ti/Lu–O atoms,as demonstrated by combined experimental and theoretical analyses,including high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction,Raman spectroscopy,and density functional theory calculations.This study introduces a novel example of NTE over a broad temperature range,highlighting its potential as a high-performance thermal expansion compensator.Additionally,it presents an effective method for incorporating rare-earth elements to achieve NTE in PbTiO_(3)-based perovskites across a wide temperature range.

文摘As an emerging microscopic detection tool,quantum microscopes based on the principle of quantum precision measurement have attracted widespread attention in recent years.Compared with the imaging of classical light,quantum-enhanced imaging can achieve ultra-high resolution,ultra-sensitive detection,and anti-interference imaging.Here,we introduce a quantum-enhanced scanning microscope under illumination of an entangled NOON state in polarization.For the phase imager with NOON states,we propose a simple four-basis projection method to replace the four-step phase-shifting method.We have achieved the phase imaging of micrometer-sized birefringent samples and biological cell specimens,with sensitivity close to the Heisenberg limit.The visibility of transmittance-based imaging shows a great enhancement for NOON states.Besides,we also demonstrate that the scanning imaging with NOON states enables the spatial resolution enhancement of√N compared with classical measurement.Our imaging method may provide some reference for the practical application of quantum imaging and is expected to promote the development of microscopic detection.

文摘Control of N-nitrosodimethylamine(NDMA)in drinking water could be achieved by removing its precursors as one practical way.Herein,superfine powdered activated carbons with a diameter of about 1μm(SPACs)were successfully prepared by grinding powdered activated carbon(PAC,D50=24.3μm)and applied to remove model NDMA precursors,i.e.ranitidine(RAN)and nizatidine(NIZ).Results fromgrain diameter experiments demonstrated that the absorption velocity increased dramatically with decreasing particle size,and the maximum increase in k2 was 26.8-folds for RAN and 33.4-folds for NIZ.Moreover,kinetic experiments explained that rapid absorption could be attributed to the acceleration of intraparticle diffusion due to the shortening of the diffusion path.Furthermore,performance comparison experiments suggested that the removal of RAN and NIZ(C_(0)=0.5 mg/L)could reach 61.3%and 60%,respectively,within 5 min,when the dosage of SAPC-1.1(D_(50)=1.1μm)was merely 5 mg/L,while PAC-24.3 could only eliminate 17.5%and 18.6%.The adsorption isotherm was well defined by Langmuir isotherm model,indicating that the adsorption of RAN/NIZ was a monolayer coverage process.The adsorption of RAN or NIZ by SAPC-1.1 and PAC-24.3 was strongly pH dependent,and high adsorption capacity could be observed under the condition of pH>pk_(a)+1.The coexistence of humic acid(HA)had no significant effect on the adsorption performance because RAN/NIZ may be coupled with HA and removed simultaneously.The coexistence of anions had little effect on the adsorption also.This study is expected to provide an alternative strategy for drinking water safety triggered by NDMA.

文摘Dabie-type porphyry Mo deposits were proposed as a new type of porphyry Mo deposits,and had unique geological characteristics.It is still poorly understood about the magmatic processes that led to the Dabie-type Mo mineralization.Here,we present zircon U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotopic,whole-rock and biotite elemental,and whole-rock Sr-Nd isotopic analyses on the Lingshan granitic batholith in the Dabie Orogen.It consists of three units(ⅠtoⅢ)that were emplaced before,genetically accompanied with,and after the Mo mineralization.LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating yielded crystallization ages of 128.2±1.0 Ma(MSWD=1.14)for UnitⅠand ages of 127.8±1.2 Ma(MSWD=0.28)and 126.6±1.8 Ma(MSWD=1.6)for UnitⅡ,indicating that they were emplaced during 130 to 125 Ma.The granites have high SiO_(2)contents(75.84 wt.%to 78.94 wt.%)and low MgO contents(0.07 wt.%to 0.10 wt.%),and are classified as fractionatedⅠ-type granite.UnitsⅠandⅡhave similar Sr-Nd isotopic ratios(ε_(Nd)(t)=-16.2 to-17.2,(^(87)Sr/^(86)Sr)_(i)=0.70540 to 0.70692)and zirconε_(Hf)(t)values(-17.4 to-20.4),indicating they were derived from partial melting of the ancient Yangtze lower crust.Mo mineralized granite from UnitⅡis characterized by the lower oxygen fugacity,fluorine enrichment and high fractionation.Magmas of unitsⅠandⅡhave experienced fractional crystallization,with the assimilation of supracrustal materials that account for the increased TiO_(2),F and Mo contents,and the decreased fO_(2).We proposed that the assimilation in upper-crustal magmatic processes plays key factors for magmatic systems that led to the Dabie-type porphyry Mo deposits.

文摘Rod-shaped gold nanomaterials,known as gold nanorods(GNRs),may undergo specific surface modification,because of their straightforward surface chemistry.This feature makes them appropriate for use as functional and biocompatible nano-formulations.By optimizing the absorption of longitudinally localized surface plasmon resonance in the near-infrared region,which corresponds to the near-infrared bio-tissue window,GNRs with appropriate modifications may improve the results of photothermal treatment(PTT).In dermatology,potential noninvasive uses of GNRs to enhance wound healing,manage infections,combat cutaneous malignancies,and remodel skin tissues via PTT have attracted research attention in recent years.The review discussed the basic properties of GNRs,such as their shape,size,optical performance,photothermal efficiency,and metabolism.Then,the disadvantages of using these particles in photodynamic therapy are highlighted.Next,biological applications of GNRs-based PTT are explored in detail.Finally,the limitations and future perspectives of this research are addressed,providing a comprehensive perspective on the potential GNRs with PTT.

文摘Two-dimensional energetic materials(2DEMs),characterized by their exceptional interlayer sliding properties,are recognized as exemplar of low-sensitivity energetic materials.However,the diversity of available 2DEMs is severely constrained by the absence of efficient methods for rapidly predicting crystal packing modes from molecular structures,impeding the high-throughput rational design of such materials.In this study,we employed quantified indicators,such as hydrogen bond dimension and maximum planar separation,to quickly screen 172DEM and 16 non-2DEM crystal structures from a crystal database.They were subsequently compared and analyzed,focusing on hydrogen bond donor-acceptor combinations,skeleton features,and intermolecular interactions.Our findings suggest that theπ-πpacking interaction energy is a key determinant in the formation of layered packing modes by planar energetic molecules,with its magnitude primarily influenced by the strongest dimericπ-πinteraction(π-π2max).Consequently,we have delineated a critical threshold forπ-π2max to discern layered packing modes and formulated a theoretical model for predictingπ-π2max,grounded in molecular electrostatic potential and dipole moment analysis.The predictive efficacy of this model was substantiated through external validation on a test set comprising 31 planar energetic molecular crystals,achieving an accuracy of 84%and a recall of 75%.Furthermore,the proposed model shows superior classification predictive performance compared to typical machine learning methods,such as random forest,on the external validation samples.This contribution introduces a novel methodology for the identification of crystal packing modes in 2DEMs,potentially accelerating the design and synthesis of high-energy,low-sensitivity 2DEMs.

文摘Intermetallic Pt-based nanoparticles have displayed excellent activity for the oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)in fuel cells.However,it remains a great challenge to synthesize highly atomically ordered Pt-based nanoparticle catalysts because the formation of an atomically ordered structure usually requires high-temperature annealing accompanied by grain sintering.Here we report the direct epitaxial growth of well-aligned,highly atomically ordered Pt3 Fe and PtFe nanoparticles(<5 nm)on single-walled carbon nanotube(SWCNT)bundles films.The long-range periodically symmetric van der Waals(vdW)interac-tions between SWCNT bundles and Pt-Fe nanoparticles play an important role in promoting not only the alignment ordering of inter-nanoparticles but also the atomic ordering of intra-nanoparticles.The ordered Pt_(3)Fe/SWCNT catalyst showed enhanced ORR catalytic performance of 2.3-fold higher mass activity and 3.1-fold higher specific activity than commercial Pt/C.Moreover,the formation of an interlocked inter-face and strong vdW interaction endow the Pt-Fe/SWCNT catalysts with extreme long-term stability in potential cycling and excellent anti-thermal sintering ability.
