However, existing ultramicroelectrodes(UMEs) suffer from narrow electrochemical window and poor electrode interface adhesion, severely hindering the application of precise single NP analysis. Here, we propose a simple and effective interface modification strategy. By electrochemically self-assembling poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)(PC) on the surface of carbon nanocone electrodes(CNCEs), we successfully prepared PC-modified CNCEs(PC–CNCEs). These electrodes not only possess sufficiently wide electrochemical window but also exhibit strong adhesion to negatively charged Ag NPs on their surfaces. Surface physical analysis and electrochemical molecule detection validated the high-density loading of PC on the modified electrodes. Furthermore, the working principle of PC–CNCEs for single Ag NP collision detection was further verified through the techniques of nanocollision and double-potential steps. Leveraging these significant advantages, PC–CNCEs not only achieved precise measurements of single or mixed-sized Ag NPs but also detected Ag NP solutions at concentrations as low as fmol/L levels. This advancement offers a new strategy for the rapid and precise analysis of NP colloids.展开更多

文摘A new VMD plugin that interfaces with DelPhi to provide ensemble-averaged electrostatic calculations using the Poisson-Boltzmann equation is presented.The general theory and context of this approach are discussed,and examples of the plugin interface and calculations are presented.This new tool is applied to systems of current biological interest,obtaining the ensemble-averaged electrostatic properties of the two major influenza virus glycoproteins,hemagglutinin and neuraminidase,from explicitly solvated all-atom molecular dynamics trajectories.The differences between the ensemble-averaged electrostatics and those obtained from a single structure are examined in detail for these examples,revealing how the plugin can be a powerful tool in facilitating the modeling of electrostatic interactions in biological systems.

文摘The liquid Zr_(100-x)V_(x)(x=8.6,16.5,30)alloys were undercooled to the maximum undercooling of 364 K(0.18 T_(L)),405 K(0.21 T_(L)),and 375 K(0.21 T_(L)),respectively,by using electrostatic levitation technique.The Zr_(91.4)V_(8.6) and Zr_(83.5)V_(16.5) alloys present only one recalescence during liquid/solid phase transition,while the Zr_(70)V_(30) alloy presents a transformation from two recalescence to one recalescence phenomenon with a critical undercooling of approximately 300 K.According to the LKT/BCT model,the calculated results of the primary β-Zr dendrite growth velocity in undercooled liquid Zr_(91.4)V_(8.6) and Zr_(83.5)V_(16.5) alloys agree well with the experiments.The velocity inflection points at 119 K of Zr_(91.4)V_(8.6) alloy and 201 K of Zr_(83.5)V_(16.5) alloy could be explained by the competition between solutal undercooling control and thermal undercooling control modes.For Zr_(70)V_(30) alloy solidified in the P1 with twice recalescence,a critical second undercooling of 253 K and corresponding undercooling of 65 and 244 K are obtained.When the un-dercooling is in the range of 65-244 K,the second undercooling would be greater than 253 K,and the residual liquid phase would solidify into anomalous eutectic microstructure for Zr_(70)V_(30) alloy.The Vickers hardness of Zr_(100-x)V_(x)(x=8.6,16.5,30)alloys all show a quadratic relationship with undercooling.Under electrostatic levitation condition,the mechanical property of Zr-V alloys could be significantly regulated through solidifying the alloys at different undercoolings.

文摘To explore the electrostatic discharge behavior of charged powders in industrial silos,discharge experiments are conducted based on a full-size industrial silo discharge platform.Electrostatic discharge mode,frequency,and energy are investigated for powders of different polarities.Although the powders have low charge-to-mass ratios(+0.087μC/kg for the positively charged powders and−0.26μC/kg for the negatively charged ones),electrostatic discharges occur approximately every 10 s,with the maximum discharge energy being 800 mJ.Powder polarity considerably influences discharge energy.The positive powders exhibit higher discharge energy than the negative ones,although discharge frequency remains similar for both.Effects of powder charge,humidity,and mass flow on discharge frequency and discharge energy are quantitatively analyzed,providing important insights for the improvement of safety in industrial powder handling.

文摘For nano-collision, regulating the interaction between nanoparticles(NPs) and electrode interfaces is crucial for the precise analysis of individual NPs. However, existing ultramicroelectrodes(UMEs) suffer from narrow electrochemical window and poor electrode interface adhesion, severely hindering the application of precise single NP analysis. Here, we propose a simple and effective interface modification strategy. By electrochemically self-assembling poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)(PC) on the surface of carbon nanocone electrodes(CNCEs), we successfully prepared PC-modified CNCEs(PC–CNCEs). These electrodes not only possess sufficiently wide electrochemical window but also exhibit strong adhesion to negatively charged Ag NPs on their surfaces. Surface physical analysis and electrochemical molecule detection validated the high-density loading of PC on the modified electrodes. Furthermore, the working principle of PC–CNCEs for single Ag NP collision detection was further verified through the techniques of nanocollision and double-potential steps. Leveraging these significant advantages, PC–CNCEs not only achieved precise measurements of single or mixed-sized Ag NPs but also detected Ag NP solutions at concentrations as low as fmol/L levels. This advancement offers a new strategy for the rapid and precise analysis of NP colloids.

文摘The notorious shuttle effect of polyiodides in aqueous Zinc-iodine(Zn-I2)batteries impedes their practical application,which renders it imperative to address this issue.Here,we report natural gelatin as an advanced aqueous binder for iodine-loading cathode to enable stable and efficient Zn-I_(2) batteries.The positively charged region in gelatin presents electrostatic attraction to the iodine species,while the electron-rich regions could donate electrons to form physical or even covalent bonds with iodine species,thus inhibiting polyiodides shuttle effect and boosting redox reaction.A high reversible capacity of 138 mAh g^(-1) after 3000 cycles at 2C and an ultra-long cycling stability of 30000 cycles at 25C with 107 mAh g^(-1) capacity was achieved.Gelatin binder also can accommodate high iodine-loading(~10 mg)cathode,punch cells,and severe temperature conditions(-10℃ and 60℃).In-situ UV-vis absorption spectroscopy,in-situ Raman spectra and theoretical calculation revealed the critical role of gelatin binder in suppressing polyiodide shuttling and accelerating reaction kinetics.This work uncovers the potential of natural low-cost binder material in advanced Zn-I_(2) batteries and drives future study of designing functional binders.

文摘Magnetic metal has broad application prospects in the field of electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorption due to its excellent dielectric and magnetic properties.However,high density and poor chemical stability constrain their development potential.The combination of magnetic metals with other lightweight carbon materials is an effective solution.In this work,magnetic nanoparticle fiber composites were prepared by electrostatic spinning and high-temperature annealing processes.By adjusting the preparation process and annealing temperature,Co/Co7 Fe_(3)/CF-800 fiber composites containing double-shell hollow structured nanocubes were cleverly synthesized.The material is mixed with paraffin wax and has a minimum reflection loss(RL)of-52.14 dB and a maximum effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of 6.16 GHz at a load of 10 wt%.By analyzing the electromagnetic parameters of the material,it was demonstrated that the material absorbs EMW through the synergistic effect of dielectric and magnetic losses.Electrochemical testing in a simulated seawater environment demonstrated that the material also has a degree of self-anticorrosion capability.This work provides new strategies for designing materials with excellent electromagnetic wave absorption and self-anticorrosion properties.

文摘The search for photoactive materials that are able to efficiently produce solar fuels is a growing research field to tackle the current energy crisis.Herein,we have prepared two ionic non-noble metallo-supramolecular polymers Se-MTpy(M=Co or Ni),and constructed their composites with single-walled carbon nanotubes(CNTs)via electrostatic attraction andπ-πinteractions for efficient and stable photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.In the photocatalytic system,the cationic Se-MTpy as host and anionic CNTs as vip are assembled into a binary composite,which exhibits superior photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation(>420 nm).The optimized CNT@Se-CoTpy composite,containing 1.2 wt%metal loading,achieves 7 times higher hydrogen evolution rate(2.47 mmol g^(-1)h^(-1))than bare Se-CoTpy(0.35 mmol g^(-1)h^(-1)).This is attributed to the constructive formation of junctions between polymer and CNTs,facilitating interfacial charge transfer and transport for efficient proton reduction.The composite system also shows high photostability after continuous irradiation for~30 h.The combination of experimental and theoretical analysis demonstrates the higher activity for reducing H_(2)O to H_(2)of Se-CoTpy than Se-NiTpy.The feasible interfacial architecture proposed in this study represents an effective approach to achieve high photocatalytic performance.

文摘Rechargeable lithium-carbon dioxide(Li-CO_(2))batteries have emerged as a highly promising approach to simultaneously address energy shortages and the greenhouse effect.However,certain limitations exist in Li-CO_(2)batteries like high charge overpotential and unstable Li metal interface,which adversely affect the energy efficiency and cycling life.The incorporation of soluble redox mediators(RMs)has proven effective in enhancing the charge transfer between lithium carbonate(Li_(2)CO_(3))and cathode,thereby substantially reducing the charge overpotential.Nevertheless,the severe shuttle effect of RMs results in the reactions with Li anode,not only exacerbating the corrosion of Li anode but also leading to the depletion of RMs and electrical energy efficiency.In this work,an organic compound containing large cation group,1-ethyl-3-methylimidazole bromide(EMIBr)is proposed as the defense donor RM for Li anode in Li-CO_(2)batteries to address the above problems simultaneously.During charging,Li_(2)CO_(3)oxidation kinetics can be accelerated by bromide anion pair(Br_(3)^(−)/Br^(−)).Meanwhile,the cations(EMI^(+))are preferentially adsorbed around the protruding tips of Li anode through electrostatic interaction driven by surface free energy,forming protective layers that effectively inhibit further Li deposition at these tips,which is verified by DFT calculations.Additionally,Li dendrites growth is inhibited by the electrostatic repulsion of polar groups in EMIBr,resulting in uniform Li deposition.Consequently,a lower overpotential(∼1.17 V)and a longer cycle life(∼200 cycles)have been obtained for Li-CO_(2)battery incorporating EMIBr.

文摘With the rapid development of 5G technology and the interconnection of industrial production,electro-magnetic pollution has become a serious problem.Achieving lightweight and controllable loads of ab-sorbers while obtaining corrosion-resistant absorbers with high electromagnetic response properties is still considered a huge challenge.In this work,carbon fiber with a multichannel hollow structure is ob-tained by PAN/PS hybrid electrospinning and subsequent high-temperature roasting process.The spatial structure inside the carbon fiber plays an active role in optimizing the impedance matching character-istics of the absorber.In addition,bimetallic metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)derivatives are obtained by a precisely controlled ion exchange as well as a high-temperature gas-phase selenization process.The resulting introduction of a non-homogeneous interface induces interfacial polarization and improves the absorption behavior of the absorber.The analysis of the experimental results shows that the electro-magnetic wave(EMW)absorption performance can be effectively enhanced due to the mechanisms of interface polarization and dipole polarization.The prepared NiSe/ZnSe/MHCFs composite can obtain ex-cellent EMW absorption properties in C,X,and Ku bands by adjusting the thickness.Structural design and component modulation play a crucial role in realizing the strong absorption and wide bandwidth of the absorber.Radar cross-section calculations indicate that NiSe/ZnSe/MHCFs have tremendous potential in practical military stealth technology.And the prepared composite coating can provide periodic corrosion resistance to Q235 steel sheet when dealing with complex and extreme environments.
