Through electrochemical testing and material characterizations, higher calcination temperatures increase the electrostatic repulsion between oxygen atoms in adjacent layers, resulting in an expansion of Na layer spacing. This structural change enhances the diffusion kinetics of Na^(+), thereby significantly improving the rate performance of NCFM. Furthermore, elevated calcination temperatures facilitate the reduction of oxygen vacancies, leading to improved crystallinity. This enhancement in crystallinity mitigates structural strain during phase transitions, contributing to improved cyclic stability. Consequently, the optimized NCFM shows an initial discharge specific capacity of 143.3 mA·h/g at 0.1C, with a capacity retention rate of 79.28% after 100 cycles at 1C.展开更多

In this study, we employed high-quality crystalline TiN/Al_(2)O_(3)/BaTiO_(3)/Pt RRAM with an optimized thin Al_(2)O_(3) interlayer around 12 nm thick prepared using atomic layer deposition since the thickness of the interlayer affects the memory window size. After insertion of the Al_(2)O_(3) interlayer, the novel RRAM exhibited outstanding uniform resistive switching voltage and the ON/OFF memory window drastically increased from 10 to 103 without any discernible decline in performance. Moreover, the low-resistance state and high-resistance state operating current values decreased by almost one order and three orders of magnitude, respectively, thereby decreasing the power consumption for the RESET and SET processes by more than three and almost one order of magnitude, respectively. The device also exhibits multilevel resistive switching behavior when varying the applied voltage. Finally, we also developed a 6 6 crossbar array which demonstrated consistent and reliable resistive switching behavior with minimal variation. Hence, our approach holds great promise for producing state-of-the-art non-volatile resistive switching devices.展开更多

文摘Regulating lithium(Li)plating/stripping behavior in three-dimensional(3D)conductive scaffolds is critical to stabilizing Li metal batteries(LMBs).Surface protrusions and roughness in these scaffolds can induce uneven distributions of the electric fields and ionic concentrations,forming“hot spots.”Hot spots may cause uncontrollable Li dendrites growth,presenting significant challenges to the cycle stability and safety of LMBs.To address these issues,we construct a Li ionic conductive-dielectric gradient bifunctional interlayer(ICDL)onto a 3D Li-injected graphene/carbon nanotube scaffold(LGCF)via in situ reaction of exfoliated hexagonal boron nitride(fhBN)and molten Li.Microscopic and spectroscopic analyses reveal that ICDL consists of fhBN-rich outer layer and inner layer enriched with Li_(3)N and Li-boron composites(Li-B).The outer layer utilizes dielectric properties to effectively homogenize the electric field,while the inner layer ensures high Li ion conductivity.Moreover,DFT calculations indicate that ICDL can effectively adsorb Li and decrease the Li diffusion barrier,promoting enhanced Li ion transport.The modulation of Li kinetics by ICDL increases the critical length of the Li nucleus,enabling suppression of Li dendrite growth.Attributing to these advantages,the ICDL-coated LGCF(ICDL@LGCF)demonstrates impressive long-term cycle performances in both symmetric cells and full cells.

文摘As artificial intelligence and big data become increasingly prevalent, resistive random-access memory (RRAM) has become one of the most promising alternatives for storing massive amounts of data. In this study, we employed high-quality crystalline TiN/Al_(2)O_(3)/BaTiO_(3)/Pt RRAM with an optimized thin Al_(2)O_(3) interlayer around 12 nm thick prepared using atomic layer deposition since the thickness of the interlayer affects the memory window size. After insertion of the Al_(2)O_(3) interlayer, the novel RRAM exhibited outstanding uniform resistive switching voltage and the ON/OFF memory window drastically increased from 10 to 103 without any discernible decline in performance. Moreover, the low-resistance state and high-resistance state operating current values decreased by almost one order and three orders of magnitude, respectively, thereby decreasing the power consumption for the RESET and SET processes by more than three and almost one order of magnitude, respectively. The device also exhibits multilevel resistive switching behavior when varying the applied voltage. Finally, we also developed a 6 6 crossbar array which demonstrated consistent and reliable resistive switching behavior with minimal variation. Hence, our approach holds great promise for producing state-of-the-art non-volatile resistive switching devices.
文摘A functional interlayer based on two-dimensional(2D)porous modified vermiculite nanosheets(PVS)was obtained by acid-etching vermiculite nanosheets.The as-obtained 2D porous nanosheets exhibited a high specific surface area of 427 m^(2)·g^(-1)and rich surface active sites,which help restrain polysulfides(LiPSs)through good physi-cal and chemical adsorption,while simultaneously accelerating the nucleation and dissolution kinetics of Li_(2)S,effec-tively suppressing the shuttle effect.The assembled lithium-sulfur batteries(LSBs)employing the PVS-based inter-layer delivered a high initial discharge capacity of 1386 mAh·g^(-1)at 0.1C(167.5 mAh·g^(-1)),long-term cycling stabil-ity,and good rate property.
文摘Due to its unique layered structure and excellent electrochemical properties,molybdenum disulfide(MoS_(2))demonstrates significant potential for applications in the energy storage field,particularly in supercapacitors.It is widely regarded as one of the most representative transition metal dichalcogenides.MoS_(2)possesses a high theoretical specific capacitance,abundant edge active sites,and favorable tunability and structural diversity,which provide it with a distinct advantage in the construction of advanced electrode structures.Additionally,the anisotropic characteristics of MoS_(2)concerning electron and ion transport offer more dimensions for regulating its electrochemical behavior.This work will systematically review various synthesis strategies for MoS_(2)and its recent advancements in energy storage,with a particular focus on the mechanisms by which interlayer spacing modulation affects energy storage behavior in supercapacitor configurations.The discussion will encompass a comprehensive logical framework that spans material structure modifications,electronic configuration evolution,and enhancements in macroscopic device performance.This review aims to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the application of MoS_(2)in the next generation of highperformance energy storage devices.

文摘The transient liquid-phase(TLP)diffusion bonding of GH5188 with a BNi-5 interlayer was focused on.Parameters were chosen and optimized for GH5188 alloy according to the TLP joining mechanism.The microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of the joints were studied.Results show that the relatively complete isothermal solidification zone(ISZ)ensures a reliable connection of the base metal(BM).Within the temperature range of 1110–1190°C,higher bonding temperatures can widen ISZ and promote joint composition homogenization,thus improving mechanical properties.However,the increase in precipitated phase has an adverse effect on the mechanical properties of the joint.The maximum shear strength,reaching 482 MPa,is achieved at 1130°C,representing 84.6%of BM strength.Within the pressure range of 5–15 MPa,both precipitated phases in adiabatic solidification zone(ASZ)and voids generated by partial melting increase.On the contrary,their sizes decrease significantly under higher bonding pressure,resulting in an upward trend in alloy mechanical properties.The maximum shear strength of 490 MPa is attained at a bonding pressure of 15 MPa.The joint exhibits a typical mixed fracture pattern,with the small brittle M_(23)C_(6) phase and voids significantly impacting mechanical properties.Nano-indentation tests indicate that ASZ is a potential source of cracks.

文摘The potential of the vertical-horizontal well hybrid SAGD technique for developing shallow heavy oil reservoirs is gradually being realized.However,challenges remain in terms of low thermal efficiency and high carbon emissions in reservoirs with interlayers.Currently,there is limited research on the low-carbon strategy of coupling exhaust gas from steam boilers with the VH-SAGD technique.Herein,considering heterogeneity,a series of flue gas-assisted VH-SAGD experiments were conducted employing a high-performance 2D visualization model.The mechanism of enhanced recovery of flue gas in VH-SAGD and the effect of its injection methods were studied,with a focus on steam chamber development and oil saturation distribution.Crucially,the interlayer length was optimized to enhance oil recovery,providing a new perspective for well location design in heavy oil reservoirs with interlayers.The results showed that flue gas,as an additive,could fully exploit the well-type advantage of VH-SAGD.By supplementing energy at the reservoir top,flue gas effectively promoted steam chamber development,expanded the oil drainage area of VH-SAGD,and increased the oil recovery from 58.9%to 71.7%.The flow channels formed by pre-injection flue gas accelerated the early-stage expansion of the steam chamber while also inducing lateral migration of steam,slowing steam rise,and consequently increasing the heating range within the low-permeability layer.When the distance between the vertical and horizontal wells was set to twice the interlayer length,the negative effects of the interlayer were more effectively turned into advantages.Because when the lateral development distance of the steam chamber in the low-permeability layer slightly exceeds the interlayer,enhanced heating of the lower part of the reservoir occurred through vertical convection of rising steam and returning condensate.The research results contribute to reducing carbon emissions from steam-based heavy oil extraction while advancing the maturity of VH-SAGD.

文摘Surface adsorption plays a crucial role in various natural and industrial processes,particularly in the field of energy storage.The adsorption of sodium atoms on 2D layered materials can significantly impact their performance as carriers and electrodes in ion batteries.While it is commonly acknowledged that pristine graphene is not favorable for sodium ion adsorption,the suitability of other 2D materials with similar honeycomb symmetry remains unclear.In this study,we employ systematic first-principles calculations to explore interlayer interactions and electron transfer effects on sodium adsorption on 2D van der Waals(vdW)heterostructures(HTSs)surfaces.Our results demonstrate that sodium adsorption is energetically favorable on these substrates.Moreover,we find that the adsorption strength can be effectively tuned by manipulation of the electron accumulation or depletion of the layer directly interacting with the sodium atom.By stacking these layered materials with different electron abundancy to form vd W HTSs,the charge density of the substrate becomes tunable through interlayer charge transfer.In these vdW HTSs,the adsorption behavior of sodium is primarily controlled by the absorption layer and exhibits a linear correlation with its pz-band center.Additionally,we identify linear correlations between the sodium adsorption energies,the electron loss of the sodium atom,the interlayer charge transfer,and the heights of the adsorbed sodium atom.These discoveries underscore the impact of interlayer electron transfer and interactions on sodium ion adsorption on 2D vd W HTSs and providing new insights into material design for alkali atom adsorption.

文摘With the ever-increasing energy density requirements for sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries,lithium metal is regarded as an ideal candidate for anode materials.However,the dynamic degradation of solidsolid contact between lithium anode and solid electrolyte remains a major challenge for the application of all-solid-state lithium metal batteries(ASSLMBs).The poor solid-solid contact problem is caused by the continuous accumulation of lithium voids,which results from the limited diffusion rate of lithium in the bulk phase.In this study,we design a three-dimensional(3D)lithiophilic graphitized carbon nanotubebased(LNT)interlayer to address interfacial issues.The interlayers effectively regulate lithium stripping and suppress the growth of lithium voids via improved lithium diffusion,leading to a conformal interface during continuous cycling.The lithium metal anode with the interlayer delivers an areal capacity of 12.96 mA h cm^(-2),and when paired with a LiNi_(0.9)Co_(0.05)Mn_(0.05)O_(2)(NCM9)cathode,the battery retains over 91%capacity retention after 100 cycles at room temperature.This work provides an effective strategy for interface stabilization in high-capacity and long-life ASSLMBs.

文摘Active sulfur dissolution and shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides(LiPSs)are the main obstacles hindering the practical application of lithium-sulfur batteries(LSBs),which is primarily induced by the direct interaction between sulfur-loading cathode and liquid electrolyte.The introduction of functional interlayer within the separator and cathode is an effective strategy to stabilize the electrode/electrolyte interface reaction and improve the utilization rate of active sulfur.Herein,conductive composite nanofabrics(CCN)with multifunctional groups are employed as the interlayer of sulfur-loading cathode,in which the PMIA/PAN supporting fibers offer robust mechanical strength and high thermostable performance,and gelatin/polypyrrole functional fibers ensure high electrical conductivity and strong chemical interaction for LiPSs.As demonstrated by the experimental data and material characterizations,the presence of CCN interlayer not only blocks the shuttle behavior of LiPSs,but also strengthens the interface stability of both Li anode and sulfur-loading cathode.Interestingly,the assembled LSBs with CCN interlayer can maintain stable capacity of 686 mAh/g after 200 cycles at 0.5 A/g.This work will provide new ideas for the elaborate design of functional in terlayers/se para tors for LSBs and lithium metal batteries.

文摘Buried coastal sandstones would be of high-quality hydrocarbon reservoirs.Controlled by deposition and diagenesis,coastal sandstones mixed with muddy and calcareous materials are usually low in porosity and permeability and small in layer thickness.These impermeable inte rlayers act as baffles and barriers between flow units and are crucial in hydrocarbon development.Donghe Sandstone in the Hade Oilfield of Tarim Basin,NW China,belongs to coastal clastic reservoirs of high oil productivity.Following nearly 30 years of development,the distribution of remaining hydrocarbon resources is affected by the muddy,calcareous,and marlaceous interlayers.Taking the Donghe Sandstone as an example,a quantitative recognition method of interlayers in coastal sandstone reservoirs is proposed in this paper.Based on cores from 26 wells,the sensitive conventional log curves of different interlayers,namely the natural gamma-ray(GR),density(DEN),compensated neutron(CNL),and acoustic(AC),are extracted by the Extreme Gradient Boosting(XGBoost).Multi-mineral model(MMM)is used to calculate continuous curves for muddy,sandy,and calcareous contents by the mentioned sensitive logs.A set of quantitative standard system is established for identifying muddy,calcareous,and marlaceous interlayers based on their respective contents.The types of inte rlayers are identified across all vertical wells.The interlayers exhibit lateral continuity at the top of each bed-set.Interlayers are currently more developed in the slope region than in the coastal region.Muddy and marlaceous interlayers are more developed at high relative sea-level,while calcareous interlayers are more developed at low relative sea-level.The extended interlayers at the top of BS6 lead to two different oil-water contacts in the Donghe Sandstone.The proposed quantitative recognition method for interlayers provides valuable insights into the exploitation potential of petroleum systems in the Donghe Sandstone of the Hade Oilfield.The flexible and easy-to-use method can be applied to other marine sandstone reservoirs or similar formations.

文摘Rationally design the morphology and structure of electroactive nanomaterials is an effective approach to enhance the performance of aqueous batteries.Herein,we co-engineered the hollow architecture and interlayer spacing of layered double hydroxides(LDH)to achieve high electrochemical activity.The hierarchical hollow LDH was prepared from bimetallic zeolitic imidazolate frameworks(ZIF)by a facile cation exchange strategy.Zn and Cu elements were selected as the second metals incorporated in Co-ZIF.The characteristics of the corresponding derivatives were studied.Besides,the transformation mechanism of CoZn-ZIF into nanosheet-assembled hollow Co Zn Ni LDH(denoted as CoZnNi-OH)was systematically investigated.Importantly,the interlayer spacing of CoZnNi-OH expands due to Zn^(2+)incorporation.The prepared CoZnNi-OH offers large surface area,exposed active sites,and rapid mass transfer/diffusion rate,which lead to a significant enhancement in the specific capacitance,rate performance,and cycle stability of CoZnNi-OH electrode.In addition,the aqueous alkaline CoZnNi-OH//Zn showed a maximum energy density/power density of 0.924 m Wh/cm^(2),8.479 m W/cm^(2).This work not only raises an insightful strategy for regulating the morphology and interlayer spacing of LDH,but also provides a reference of designing hollow nickel-based nanomaterials for aqueous batteries.

文摘The joining of Al/steel dissimilar metals has emerged as a critical challenge in automotive lightweight design.The sound Al/steel lap configuration joints were achieved via the new welding technology,i.e.,the rotating laser welding method,with the inserted Cu foil interlayer.The interfacial temperature fields of the obtained joints were accurately predicted by finite element simulation.The results indicate that the heat concentration effect at the interface was generated via the rotating laser,and the temperature difference of the laser direct irradiation area,the middle area,and the welding toe region was controlled to 100°C.Besides,the inserted Cu interlayer significantly optimized interfacial metallurgical reactions,resulting in the formation of a uniform composite interface layer consisting ofθ-(Fe,Cu)_(4)Al_(13),a-Al,and Al_(2)Cu.The thermodynamic calculations elucidated the sequential phase evolution:the Al-Fe binary system was generated first,and then followed by the Al-Cu binary system in the welding process.The final joint line load was enhanced with the inserted rotating laser.When the rotating diameter was 1 mm and the thickness of Cu interlayer was 10μm,the joint line load reached the maximum value of 297 N/mm.

文摘The big underground powerhouse cavern of the China Baihetan hydropower plant is 438m long,34m wide,and 88.7m high.It is cut by a weak interlayer shear zone and its high sidewall poses a huge stability problem.This paper reports our successful solution of this problem through numerical simulations and a replacement-tunnel scheme in the detailed design stage and close site monitoring in the excavation stage.Particularly,in the detail design stage,mechanical parameters of the shear zone were carefully determined through laboratory experiments and site tests.Then,deformation of the surrounding rocks and the shear zone under high in situ stress conditions was predicted using 3 Dimensional Distinct Element Code(3DEC).Subsequently,a replacement-tunnel scheme was proposed for the treatment on the shear zone to prevent severe unloading relaxation of surrounding rocks.In the construction period,excavation responses were closely monitored on deformations of surrounding rocks and the shear zone.The effect of local cracking in the replacement tunnels on sidewall stability was evaluated using the strength reduction method.These monitoring results were compared with the predicted numerical simulation in the detailed design stage.It is found that the shear zone greatly modified the deformation mode of the cavern surrounding rocks.Without any treatment,rock mass deformation on the downstream sidewall was larger than 125mm and the shearing deformation of the shear zone was 60–70 mm.These preset replacement tunnels can reduce not only the unloading and relaxation of rock masses but also the maximum shearing deformation of the shear zone by 10–20 mm.The predictions by numerical simulation were in good agreement with the monitoring results.The proposed tunnel-replacement scheme can not only restrain the shear zone deformation but also enhance the safety of surrounding rocks and concrete tunnels.This design procedure offers a good reference for interaction between a big underground cavern and a weak layer zone in the future.

文摘Weak interlayers play a crucial role in the seismic performance of bedding slopes;however,the effects of structural surface development within these layers remain underexplored.This study presents two scaled models of bedding slopes,each with different weak interlayers:one with a homogeneous weak layer and another with discontinuous interfaces.Shaking table tests were conducted to compare their seismic performance.The results show that the peak ground acceleration(PGA)values above the weak interlayer in model A were significantly higher than those in model B,with the differences increasing as the input wave amplitude increased.The peak earth pressure(PEP)values at the tensile failure boundary at the rear edge of model A were also higher,whereas those within the weak layer at the toe of model A were lower than those in model B.Deformation analysis revealed that the maximum principal strain in model A initially appeared at the upper part of the tensile failure boundary,while the maximum shear strain was concentrated near the rear edge within the weak layer.In contrast,model B exhibited the opposite strain distribution.These findings provide insight into the impact of weak interlayers on the dynamic response and deformation of bedding slopes,highlighting the importance of considering this factor in seismic landslide investigations and failure mode predictions.
