Nonprecious metal...Combining nanomaterials with complementary properties in a well-designed structure is an effective tactic to exploit multifunctional, high-performance materials for the energy conversion and storage. Nonprecious metal catalysts, such as cobalt oxide, with superior activity and excellent stability to other catalysts are widely desired. Nevertheless, the performance of CoO nanoparticles as an electrode material were significantly limit for its inferior conductivity, dissolution, and high cohesion. Herein, we grow ultrafine cobalt monoxide to decorate the interlayer and surface of the Ti3C2 Txnanosheets via a hydrothermal method companied by calcination. The layered MXenes act as the underlying conductive substrate,which not only increase the electron transfer rate at the interface but also greatly improve the electrochemical properties of the nanosized Co O particles by restricting the aggregation of CoO. The resulting CoO/Ti3C2 Txnanomaterial is applied as oxygen electrode for lithium-oxygen battery and achieves more than 160 cycles and first cycle capacity of 16,220 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1. This work paves a promising avenue for constructing a bi-functional catalyst by coupling the active component of a transition metal oxide(TMO) with the MXene materials in lithium-oxygen battery.展开更多

However, numerous problems such as poor conductivity and the shuttle effect during discharge-charge process limit the practical application of lithium-sulfur batteries. In this work, porous tubular Co Mo_(1-x)P/Mo constructed by in situ growth of metal Mo was designed as the sulfur host for lithium-sulfur batteries. The introduction of Mo modulated the electronic structure of Co Mo P to improve the conductivity of cathode and facilitate the redox kinetics, as well as the Co Mo_(1-x)P/Mo heterostructure was beneficial to inhibit the shuttle effect through the interaction with lithium polysulfides, which improved cycling stability. As a result, Co Mo_(1-x)P/Mo/S cathode had a low-capacity decay rate of only 0.029% per cycle after 2000 cycles at 0.5 C. This work provided a new perspective for the further design of high-performance lithium-sulfur battery cathode materials.展开更多

文摘The existing industrial ammonia synthesis usually adopts the Haber-Bosch process,which requires harsh conditions of high temperature and high pressure,and consumes high energy.Under this circumstance,photoelectrochemical(PEC)catalysis is regarded as a promising method for N_(2) reduction reaction(NRR),but bears problems of low efficiency and yield.Thus,exploring active catalysts remains highly desirable.In this work,BiVO_(4)@MXene hybrids have been facilely synthesized by a hydrothermal route.The heterojunctions by the in situ growth of BiVO_(4) onto two-dimensional(2D)MXene greatly increase the NRR efficiency:under photoelectric conditions,the optimized NH_(3) yield is 27.25µg h^(-1) cm^(-2),and the Faraday efficiency achieves 17.54% at−0.8 V relative to the reversible hydrogen electrode(RHE),which are higher than most state-of-the-art NRR(photo)electrocatalysts.The mechanism speculation shows the enhanced light absorption range and the heterojunction formation largely promote the separation and the transfer efficiency of photogenerated carriers,thereby improving the PEC catalytic ability.Therefore,this work provides a hybrid route to combine the advantages of photo and electric catalysis for effective artificial nitrogen fixation.

文摘Neighboring optimal guidance,a method to obtain a suboptimal guidance law by approximately solving the first-order necessary conditions based on a nominal trajectory,is widely used in the aerospace field due to its high computational efficiency and low resource usage.For more advanced scenarios,the existing methods still have a problem that the guidance accuracy and optimality will seriously degrade when the actual state largely deviates from the nominal trajectory.This is mainly caused by the approximate description of the first-order conditions in terms of total flight time and nonlinear constraints.To address this problem,a higher-order neighboring optimal guidance method is proposed.First,a novel total flight time updating strategy,together with a normalized time scale,is presented that transforms the optimal problem with free total flight time into a more tractable optimal problem with fixed total flight time.Then,using the vector partial derivative method,a higher-order approximation is adopted,instead of the first-order approximation,to accurately describe the nonlinear dynamical and terminal constraints,thus obtaining a polynomially constrained quadratic optimal problem.Finally,to numerically solve the polynomially constrained quadratic optimal problem,a Newton-type iterative algorithm based on the orthogonal decomposition is designed.Through the iterative solution within each guidance period,the corrections to control quantities and total flight time are generated.The proposed method is applied to a launch vehicle orbital injection problem,and simulation results show that it achieves high accuracy of orbital injection and optimality of performance index.

文摘In order to advance the commercialization of rechargeable Li-air batteries,it is of importance to explore cathode catalyst with efficient catalytic activity.Transition metal oxides have poor electrical conductivity,while cobalt phosphide has excellent electrical conductivity and large specific surface area.Nevertheless,its application in organic Li-air batteries has been much less studied,and the electrocatalytic activity desires to be further elevated.Here,CoP/Co_(2)P heterojunction composite with higher polarity was fabricated.The discharge product of high-polarity CoP/Co_(2)P had a new porous box-like morphology,which was easy to be decomposed and exposed more active sites.The highly polar CoP/Co_(2)P heterostructure composite had homogeneous pores,the synergistic effect existed between CoP and Co_(2)P,and the discharge product was porous box mixed with Li_(2)O_(2)and LiOH,which made CoP/Co_(2)P achieve high specific capacity of14632 m Ah/g and cycle stably 161 times when used as air electrode cathode catalyst.This work furnished a thought for the construction of cathode catalysts with efficient catalytic activity for Li-air batteries.

文摘BEL1-like homeodomain(BLH)family proteins are homeodomain transcription factors,which are found ubiquitously in plants and play important roles in regulating meristem and flower development.Although BLH proteins have been reported in some plant species,there is very little information available for plants in the Malus genus(e.g.,apple tree:Malus domestica).In the present study,we identified 19 apple MdBLH genes.Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the MdBLH genes could be divided into five groups.Analysis of gene structure showed that MdBLH gene has four exons,and the third exon was 61 bp in length.Chromosomal location analysis suggested that the MdBLH genes are not distributed uniformly on 12 chromosomes.Eleven MdBLH genes were cloned by RT-PCR,and their expression patterns were also determined.Among them,the expression levels of MdBLH4.1 and MdBLH9.1 could be induced by sodium chloride stress,while the expression levels of MdATH1.1,MdBLH8.1,MdBLH8.3,and MdBLH11.1 were down-regulated by such stress.Transcriptional levels of MdATH1.1 and MdBLH7.2 were down-regulated by mannitol stress.The result of yeast two-hybrid experiment showed that MdBEL1.1 interacted with apple ovate family proteins 6(MdOFP6),and MdBLH3.1 interacted with the MdOFP4,MdOFP6,MdOFP13,and MdOFP16 proteins.Our results provide a strong theoretical basis and a valuable reference for analyzing of the biological functions of MdBLH proteins as transcription factors in apple growth,development,and stress and also for the construction of regulatory networks.

文摘[Objective] The research aimed to initially study degradation effect of the CODc, in sewage by two psychrotrophs. [Method] Two psychrotrophs were isolated from the activated sludge of wastewater treatment plant in Tianjin Konggang Economic Area. CODc, degradation ability of the screened psychrotroph was analyzed in simulated domestic wastewater at 6℃. [Result] K 36 was identified as Comamonas testosterone, and K 38 was identified as Serratia fonticola. CODcr degradation abilities of the two strains were different in test. COOcr removal rates of the K 36 and K 38 respectively reached up to 23% and 53%. The measured result of growth rate suggested that two psychrotrophs both had high activities at low temperature. [ Conclusion] K 36 and K 38 had potentials in wastewater treatment application.

文摘An optimal feedback guidance law with disturbance rejection objective is proposed for endoatmospheric powered descent.This guidance law with an affine form is derived by solving a novel problem called Endoatmospheric Powered Descent Guidance with Disturbance Rejection(Endo-PDG-DR).The key idea of formulating the Endo-PDG-DR problem is dividing disturbances into two parts,modeled and unmodeled disturbances:the modeled disturbance is proactively exploited by augmenting it as a new state of a dynamics model;the unmodeled disturbance is reactively attenuated in terms of its effect on the guidance performance by adjoining a parameterized time-varying quadratic performance index in the proposed optimal guidance problem.A Pseudospectral Differential Dynamic Programming(PDDP)method is developed to solve the Endo-PDG-DR problem,and correspondingly a robust neighboring optimal state feedback law is obtained,which has two synergistic functionalities.One is adaptive optimal steering to accommodate the modeled disturbance,and the other is disturbance attenuation to compensate for the state perturbation effect induced by the unmodeled disturbance.Using the derived feedback guidance law,a disturbance rejection level is quantified,and is correspondingly optimized by designing a quadratic weighting parameter tuning law.The numerical computations of interest are performed within a pseudospectral setting,ensuring polynomial analytical solution,high computational efficiency,and reliable convergence.

文摘Organic-inorganic hybrid solar cells consisting of organic conjugated materials and inorganic quantum dots(QDs)have been of great interest during the past two decades.However,it is still challenging to select desired organic functional materials for fabricating hybrid films to maximize their photovoltaic performance.Herein,we report the synthesis of three narrow bandgap non-fullerene conjugated polymers and further demonstrate the importance and impact of polymer crystallinity in tuning the organic-inorganic hybrid interface towards improved photovoltaic performance.In specific,we develop an organic-inorganic hybrid active layer using a newly synthesized polymer with relatively weaker crystallinity and FAPbI_(3)QDs,enabling complementary absorption and favorable interface/morphology for efficient charge separation and transport.The champion PCDOT-T/FAPbI_(3)QD hybrid device achieves a record-high efficiency of 13.11%based on the one-step coating organic/QD hybrid bulk heterojunction blend,which is significantly improved relative to the semi-crystalline polymer PYIT-based hybrid device(11.23%)and pristine QD(10.51%).We believe these findings would provide new insight into the organic/QD interface to construct desired hybrid films for high-performing optoelectronic applications.

文摘An adaptive optimal trajectory tracking controller is presented for the Solid-RocketPowered Vehicle(SRPV)with uncertain nonlinear non-affine dynamics in the framework of adaptive dynamic programming.First,considering that the ascent model of the SRPV is non-affine,a model-free Single Network Adaptive Critic(SNAC)method is developed based on the dynamic neural network and the traditional SNAC method.This developed model-free SNAC method overcomes the limitation of the traditional SNAC method that can only be applied to affine systems.Then,a closed-form adaptive optimal controller is designed for the non-affine dynamics of SRPVs.This controller can adjust its parameters under different flight conditions and converge to the approximate optimal controller through online self-learning.Finally,the convergence to the approximate optimal controller is proved.The theoretical analysis of the uniformly ultimate boundedness of the tracking error is also presented.Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.
