文摘Fluorescent probes based on intramolecular charge transfer(ICT) have obvious advantages for accurate quantitative analysis.To obtain high-performance ratiometric probes requires distinct photophysical properties during recognition reaction process,which is closely related to their ICT characteristics.1,8-Naphthalimide is known as a typical fluorophore with desirable ICT property when functionalized with an electron-donating moiety at the para-position of the naphthalene chromophore.Although the photophysical properties of para-substituted 1,8-naphthalimide have been well studied,its meta-substituted counterpart has not been fully evaluated since the meta-position is conventionally thought to be weakly conjugated.Herein,combined experimental and theoretical studies are performed which consistently indicate that stronger charge transfer(CT) is exhibited by the meta-amino substituted 1,8-naphthalimide(m-NH_(2)) compared to the para-amino substituted one(p-NH_(2)).The ratiometric response of fluorescence with significant changes in wavelength and intensity upon acetylation(m-NAc and p-NAc) can be attributed to the larger ICT and stronger-NH_(2) vibrations.This observation is further demonstrated by deuterium oxide experiments,viscosity experiments and quantum chemical calculations.The practical application of meta-amino-1,8-naphthalimide ICT-based probes is also confirmed.This research is expected to bring an in-depth understanding of π-conjugated systems with ICT characteristics,and facilitates the design of sensitive ICT fluorescent probes with meta-amino substitution.

文摘In order to investigate the penetration performance of Linear-Shaped Charge(LSC),Embowed LinearShaped Charge(ELSC),and Embowed Linear Explosively Formed Projectile(ELEFP)on T-shaped stiffened plates,a series of near-field air-burst experiments are conducted.The damage modes and characteristics of the target plates are compared and analyzed.Each flat plate section is completely punctured,resulting in a penetration hole.The damage modes induced by the three charge types on the stiffened plate structure are consistent,characterized by shear failure in the central region of the flat plate due to penetration by the penetrator,localized plastic deformation of the flat plate,and local penetration failure resulting from partial perforation of the central stiffener.The penetration lengths caused by ELSC and ELEFP are 45.1%and 46.1% larger than that of LSC,while the half-width of the penetration hole generated by ELEFP is 54.2% and 24.7% smaller than that of ELSC and LSC,respectively.The penetration height caused by ELEFP are 17.5%and 62.1% larger than that of ELSC and LSC,respectively.The stiffener effectively segments the damage area,enhancing the local structural strength and limiting the extent of plastic deformation in the flat plate section.The comparative results show that the ELSC proves to be more effective for efficient large-scale damage,and ELEFP is more suitable for achieving efficient localized damage.

文摘To advance the theoretical understanding,technological development,and field application of electric charge induction for monitoring rock deformation and failure,this study investigates the induced electric charge generated during the deformation and failure of igneous rocks.The charge originates mainly from a combination of electrical polarization and triboelectric effects.Through laboratory experiments,we analyzed the time-frequency evolution of induced electric charge signals and identified relevant monitoring parameters.An online downhole electric charge induction monitoring system was developed and validated in the field.Experimental results show that the dominant frequency range of induced electric charge signals generated during igneous rock deformation and failure lies between 0 and 23 Hz,and a low-pass finite impulse response(FIR)filter effectively suppresses noise.Optimal sensor distances for monitoring cubic and cylindrical specimens were determined to be 17 mm and 13 mm,respectively.We proposed early warning indicators,including the maximum absolute value of the induced electric charge,the arithmetic mean value,the distribution dispersion coefficient,and the cumulative sum value.In field application,time-domain curves and spatial distribution charts of these warning indicators correspond well with changes in abutment stress ahead of the mining face,offering indirect insights into local stress evolution.This research provides technical and equipment support for the application of electric charge induction technology to monitoring and early warning of coal bursts.

文摘To address the key scientific challenge of monitoring the dynamic fracturing of surrounding rock in deep roadways,this study systematically investigates the quantitative relationship between stress and charge signals during coal mass loading.By integrating innovative analytical approaches,introducing quantitative evaluation indices,and developing a charge–stress inversion model,and incorporating underground monitoring practices,significant progress has been achieved in elucidating the correlation between stress variations and charge signals throughout the entire coal mass fracturing process.First,in the field of stress–charge correlation analysis,empirical mode decomposition(EMD)was combined with wavelet coherence analysis for the first time,enabling the removal of slow-varying stress trends while retaining high-frequency fluctuations.This approach allowed for the quantitative characterization of the evolution of coherence between stress variations and charge fluctuations across multiple time scales.Second,coherence skewness and the proportion of high-coherence intervals were innovatively introduced to examine the influence of time scale selection on correlation results.On this basis,a criterion for determining the near-optimal observation scale of charge signals was proposed,providing a quantitative reference for time scale selection in similar signal analyses.Finally,by correlating charge signals with coal damage factors and stress states,a charge-based damage evolution equation was established to achieve effective stress inversion.Combined with in situ monitoring of stress and charge in roadway surrounding rock,this approach revealed the correlation characteristics of stress and charge intensity responses during the dynamic fracturing process.The results indicate,first,that charge signals are not significantly correlated with the absolute stress level of coal but are directly associated with stress variations following coal damage and failure,with the amplitude of charge fluctuations increasing alongside stress fluctuations.Second,coherence between stress and charge signals varies markedly across time scales,with excessively small or large scales leading to distortion,and the scale corresponding to the peak proportion of intervals with coherence>0.8 was identified as the near-optimal observation scale.Third,charge signals can effectively characterize coal damage factors,and the established damage evolution equation can effectively invert stress variation trends.Fourth,in underground roadways,zones of dynamic fracturing in surrounding rock are commonly located in areas where stress concentration overlaps with regions of high charge intensity,further confirming the strong consistency between charge and stress variations.These findings improve the theoretical framework of charge signal responses in loaded coal and provide a scientific basis for precise“stress-charge”monitoring of dynamic disasters,offering practical potential for engineering applications.

文摘The severe shuttle effect and sluggish reaction kinetics in room-temperature sodium-sulfur(RT Na-S)batteries have been major bottlenecks hindering their practical application.To overcome these challenges,a straightforward reduction approach was employed to design three bimetallic alloy nanoparticles(FeNi,FeCo,and NiCo)supported on multistage porous carbon substrates.Experimental and theoretical calculations reveal that the charge transfer within the alloy catalyst influences the position of its d-band center and its degree of hybridization with sodium polysulfides(NaPSs).An increased charge transfer leads to a shift of the alloy’s d-band center closer to the Fermi energy level,thereby enhancing its adsorption and catalytic capabilities.Among the three alloy compositions,the FeNi alloy exhibits the highest charge transfer.Consequently,the FeNi alloy demonstrates the superior electrochemical performance,achieving a high reversible specific capacity of 848.2 mA h g^(−1),with an average capacity degradation rate of only 0.037%per cycle over 1000 cycles at 1.2 C.The S/FeNi/NC cathode exhibits a low electrolyte-to-sulfur(E/S)ratio of 6.6µL mg^(−1),while maintaining a high reversible specific capacity of 568.1 mA h g^(−1).This offers valuable insights for the application of alloy catalysts in the S/FeNi/NC cathode of RT Na-S batteries.

文摘Lithium-ion(Li-ion)batteries stand as the dominant energy storage solution,despite their widespread adoption,precisely determining the state of charge(SOC)continues to pose significant difficulties,with direct implications for battery safety,operational reliability,and overall performance.Current SOC estimation techniques often demonstrate limited accuracy,particularly when confronted with complex operational scenarios and wide temperature variations,where their generalization capacity and dynamic adaptation prove insufficient.To address these shortcomings,this work presents a PSO-TCN-Transformer network model for SOC estimation.This research uses the Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)method to automatically configure the architectural parameters of the Temporal Convolutional Network(TCN)and Transformer components.This automated optimization enhances the model’s ability to represent the dynamically evolving nature of SOC.Additionally,this integrated framework significantly increases the model’s capacity to capture SOC dynamics in complex operational scenarios.During training and evaluation using a comprehensive dataset that covers complex operating conditions and a broad temperature spanning from−20℃ to 40℃,the proposed model achieves a root mean square error(RMSE)of less than 0.6%,a maximum absolute error(MAXE)below 4.0%,and a coefficient of determination(R^(2))of 99.99%.Additional comparative experiments on data from an energy storage company further verify the model’s superior performance,with an RMSE of 1.18%and an MAXE of 1.95%.The implications of this work extend to the development of optimization strategies and hybrid architectures,providing insights that can be adapted for state estimation across a range of complex dynamic systems.

文摘The penetration of shaped charge jets into targets at high velocities is significantly influenced by the compressibility effect,while at low velocities,the strength effect becomes predominant.In the latter regime,material strength dictates the resistance to plastic deformation and flow,a contrast to the shockwave-dominated interactions where compressibility is key.This paper presents a self-consistent compressible penetration theory that considers both the axial penetration and radial crater growth of shaped charge jets into targets.An integrated approach where the axial and radial dynamics are coupled has been proposed,influencing each other through shared physical principles rather than being treated as separate,empirically linked phenomena.The presented theory is rooted in the compressible Bernoulli equation and the linear Rankine-Hugoniot relation.These foundational equations are employed to accurately model the high-pressure shock state and subsequent material flow at the jet-target interface,providing a robust physical basis for the penetration model.Notably,it considers the target material's compressibility,which elevates the pressure at the jet-target interface beyond that observed with incompressible materials.This pressure increase is directly proportional to the target's degree of compressibility.As such,this model of compressible penetration reorients the analytical approach:rather than merely estimating penetration resistance,it determines this value from the target material's specific compressibility and yield strength.This shift from empirical correlations to a physics-based derivation of penetration resistance enhances the model's predictive power,particularly for novel target materials or engagement conditions outside established experimental datasets.This investigation establishes a quantitative link between the material's yield strength and its penetration resistance.The accuracy of this penetration resistance value is paramount,as it significantly influences the predicted crater diameter;indeed,the crater diameter's sensitivity to this resistance underscores the necessity for its precise determination.Ultimately,by integrating the yield strength of the target material,this framework enables the prediction of both the penetration depth and the resultant crater diameter from a shaped charge jet.The theory's validation involved two experimental sets:the first focused on shaped charge jet penetration into 45#steel at varied stand-offs,while the second utilized targets of high-to ultrahigh-strength steel-fiber reactive powder concrete(RPC)with differing strength characteristics.These experimental campaigns were specifically chosen to test the theory against both ductile metallic alloys,where plastic flow is significant,and advanced quasi-brittle cementitious composites,presenting a broad spectrum of material responses and penetration challenges.Resulting hole profiles derived from theoretical calculations demonstrated a strong correspondence with empirical measurements for both material types.

文摘Based on the idea of treating the anti de Sitter(AdS)radius as a fixed parameter,we study the thermodynamics and topology of d-dimensional charged AdS black holes in the restricted phase space utilizing Visser's holographic approach.For the charged black hole with a cloud of strings and quintessence in the higher-dimensional spacetimes with d=(4,5,6),we demonstrate that the topological number remains invariant within the same canonical ensemble;however,a distinct topological number emerges in the grand canonical ensemble for the same black hole system.Notably,these results are independent of the dimension d and other related parameters.The formalism known as restricted phase space thermodynamics is checked in detail and some interesting thermodynamic behavior is revealed in the example case of d-dimensional charged AdS black holes with a cloud of strings and quintessence.This research lays the foundation for establishing a universal framework of restricted phase space thermodynamics and investigating its fundamental thermodynamic properties.

文摘Oxygen evolution reaction(OER)is widely recognized as a bottleneck of water electrolysis.To determine the underlying reaction mechanisms,particularly the relative contribution of the adsorbate evolution mechanism(AEM)and lattice-oxygen participation mechanism(LOM),we conduct a comprehensive investigation combining Density Functional Theory(DFT)calculations and experimental validation.Our theoretical analysis of doped RuO_(2)catalysts reveals that heteroatom doping(Ni,Cu,and Zn)induces significant local charge transfer,leading to the increased charge state of Ru and the downshifted d-band center.This,in turn,enables the mechanism switching from the conventional AEM to the more efficient LOM,and finally improves OER activity.We also establish a simple yet powerful descriptor,Ne of Ru(representing charge density of Ru sites),which enables accurate prediction of both catalytic activity and stability.Guided by these theoretical predictions,we successfully synthesize a Ni-doped RuO_(2)catalyst,which exhibits excellent OER activity and stability in acidic media,achieving an overpotential of just 156 mV and maintaining stability for 4000 h at 10 mA cm^(−2),significantly surpassing the performance of the commercial RuO_(2).These findings not only provide fundamental insights into the mechanism-switching behavior in OER catalysis but also offer a practical strategy for designing high-performance,stable electrocatalysts for acidic water electrolysis.

文摘Deep mining of natural resources,like coal,is increasingly utilizing directional blasting technology with slit charge for rock blasting at greater depths.This study,based on numerical simulation methods,analyzes the dynamic behavior of slit charge blasting in three aspects:slit tube dynamic response,hoop stress evolution,and crack propagation.According to research findings,the failure mode of the slit tube mainly manifests as a tensile fracture of the inner wall and a shear fracture at the end connection,where the end connection of the slit tube is the weak point of the overall structure.The dynamic response of the slit tube mainly exhibits radial response in the vertical direction of the slit and hoop response in the slit direction.The hoop tensile stress plays a crucial role in determining the spread of cracks caused by explosions.As the in situ stress increases,the peak hoop tensile stress reduces,and the peak hoop compressive stress increases.This hinders the propagation of cracks.In addition,the directional impact is most pronounced in the middle of the borehole,with the longest primary directional crack observed.Conversely,the directional impact is least favorable near the bottom of the borehole.When the in situ stress reaches 60MPa,the purpose of directional fracture has not been achieved,suggesting combining presplit blasting for in situ stress relief to improve rock breaking efficiency.

文摘Membra ne electrode assemblies(MEAs)are pivotal to advancing proton exchange membra ne water electrolysis(PEMWE),yet conventional designs suffer from limited triple-phase boundaries(TPBs),inefficient mass/charge transport,and insufficient durability.This study introduces a three-dimensional ordered pattern-array(3D OPA)architecture fabricated via a scalable laser-machined mask and hot-pressing strategy.The 3D OPA MEA achieves a current density of 3.73 A cm^(-2) at 2 V,demonstrating a 50%performance improvement over the conventional MEA(2.48 A cm^(-2)),alongside a degradation rate of 26.6μV h^(-1) in a highly dynamic accelerated stress test(AST).Additionally,numerical simulations corroborate that the OPA architecture optimizes localized oxygen diffusion and liquid water replenishment,enhancing reaction kinetics.The 3D OPA architecture enhances TPBs and establishes optimized gas-liquid tra nsport pathways,significantly improving catalyst utilization while minimizing mass transfer overpotential and bubble-induced losses.Furthermore,its interlocking design reinforces mechanical interactions,reducing ohmic resistance a nd ensuring sustained mecha nical integrity and electrochemical durability.This work provides a simple,cost-effective,and scalable approach for patterned MEAs,addressing critical barriers to PEMWE commercialization through rational TPB engineering and transport pathway optimization.

文摘Laser-induced aerosols,predominantly submicron in size,pose significant environmental and health risks during the decommissioning of nuclear reactors.This study experimentally investigated the removal of laser-generated aerosol particles using a water spray system integrated with an innovative system for pre-injecting electrically charged mist in our facility.To simulate aerosol generation in reactor decommissioning,a high-power laser was used to irradiate various materials(including stainless steel,carbon steel,and concrete),generating aerosol particles that were agglomerated with injected water mist and subsequently scavenged by water spray.Experimental results demonstrate enhanced aerosol removal via aerosol-mist agglomeration,with charged mist significantly improving particle capture by increasing wettability and size.The average improvements for the stainless steel,carbon steel,and concrete were 40%,44%,and 21%,respectively.The results of experiments using charged mist with different polarities(both positive and negative)and different surface coatings reveal that the dominant polarity of aerosols varies with the irradiated materials,influenced by their crystal structure and electron emission properties.Notably,surface coatings such as ZrO_(2)and CeO_(2)were found to possibly alter aerosol charging characteristics,thereby affecting aerosol removal efficiency with charged mist configurations.The innovative aerosol-mist agglomeration approach shows promise in mitigating radiation exposure,ensuring environmental safety,and reducing contaminated water during reactor dismantling.This study contributes critical knowledge for the development of advanced aerosol management strategies for nuclear reactor decommissioning.The understanding obtained in this work is also expected to be useful for various environmental and chemical engineering applications such as gas decontamination,air purification,and pollution control.

文摘Ferrite-carbon composites effectively absorb electromagnetic(EM)waves via coupled mechanisms.However,the dynamic evolution of intrinsic polarization and magnetic loss mechanisms following interfacial coupling has long been overlooked,impeding broadening of the ultra-broadband EM wave absorption performance in heterostructures.Herein,via surface ligand modulation,in situ growth of 0D Fe_(3)O_(4)quantum dots(QDs)on the surface of 1D carbon nanotubes triggers grain boundary coupling.The energy rebalancing effect at the interface induces an extreme charge rearrangement within the Fe_(3)O_(4)QDs.This rearrangement enhances dipole orientation hysteresis and charge accumulation,resulting in charge and interfacial polarization losses.Meanwhile,for subcritical Fe_(3)O_(4)QDs,short-range magnetic resonance and magnetic exchange-triggered magnetic resonance transfer synergistically enhance the magnetic loss.Through charge rearrangement/magnetic resonance induced by0D/1D grain boundary coupling,an effective bandwidth of nearly 10 GHz is achieved at a minimal thickness of 2 mm,covering the X and Ku bands.This strategy provides an effective paradigm and novel theoretical insights for ultra-broadband electromagnetic wave absorption applications.

文摘Modifying the chemical surrounding of N-doped carbon supported single-atom catalysts(SA/NCs)through heteroatom doping is a mainstream approach to optimize their performance for electrocatalytic CO_(2) reduction reaction.However,conventional SA/NCs mainly consists of in-plane metal sites feature with tightly symmetrical M–N_(4) coordination environments,limiting the regulatory strength of heteroatom doping.Herein,we proposed an edge-assisted heteroatom doping regulation strategy by constructing edge-type Ni sites supported on a hollow and leaf-shaped P-doped NC substrate(eNi/H-NPC).The two-dimensional leaf-shaped and hollow carbon can expose enriched edges.The edge structure can promote the accessibility of active sites,more importantly,intensifies electronic perturbation induced by heteroatom doping.Resultantly,the charge symmetry distribution of Ni–N_4 site is significantly disrupted,and energy barrier associated with the formation of*COOH intermediate is further diminished.eNi/HNPC achieves CO faradaic efficiency(FE_(CO))near 100%at-0.6 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode(vs.RHE)and maintains FE_(CO)over 90%from-0.6 to-1.1 V(vs.RHE)in H-type cells.Remarkably,in gas-diffusion flow cells,eNi/H-NPC exhibits FE_(CO)reaches 98.9%and 96.5%in neutral and acidic electrolytes with the CO current density reach 283.5,and 397.2 mA cm^(-2),respectively,which are much superior than that of the bulk material with dominant in-plane active sites.Moreover,eNi/H-NPC serves as an efficient cathode in Zn–CO_(2) batteries,realized a discharge power density of 4.1 mW cm^(-2),and exceptional cycling durability over 35 h.

文摘Composite polymer electrolytes(CPEs)offer a promising solution for all-solid-state lithium-metal batteries(ASSLMBs).However,conventional nanofillers with Lewis-acid-base surfaces make limited contribution to improving the overall performance of CPEs due to their difficulty in achieving robust electrochemical and mechanical interfaces simultaneously.Here,by regulating the surface charge characteristics of halloysite nanotube(HNT),we propose a concept of lithium-ion dynamic interface(Li^(+)-DI)engineering in nano-charged CPE(NCCPE).Results show that the surface charge characteristics of HNTs fundamentally change the Li^(+)-DI,and thereof the mechanical and ion-conduction behaviors of the NCCPEs.Particularly,the HNTs with positively charged surface(HNTs+)lead to a higher Li^(+)transference number(0.86)than that of HNTs-(0.73),but a lower toughness(102.13 MJ m^(-3)for HNTs+and 159.69 MJ m^(-3)for HNTs-).Meanwhile,a strong interface compatibilization effect by Li^(+)is observed for especially the HNTs+-involved Li^(+)-DI,which improves the toughness by 2000%compared with the control.Moreover,HNTs+are more effective to weaken the Li^(+)-solvation strength and facilitate the formation of Li F-rich solid-electrolyte interphase of Li metal compared to HNTs-.The resultant Li|NCCPE|LiFePO4cell delivers a capacity of 144.9 m Ah g^(-1)after 400 cycles at 0.5 C and a capacity retention of 78.6%.This study provides deep insights into understanding the roles of surface charges of nanofillers in regulating the mechanical and electrochemical interfaces in ASSLMBs.

文摘We have examined an unusual rocket-triggered lightning flash during the summer campaign of the SHAndong Triggered Lightning Experiment(SHATLE)in 2018.High-speed video camera observations and three-dimensional(3D)lightning mapping show that the upward positive leader split into two branched channels(referred to as branch A&branch B,respectively)at a height of about 370 m,and then progressed into different charge regions of the thundercloud.Branch A initially developed upward before turning northwest from the trigger point;ten pronounced intermittent negative leaders were observed propagating downward along this branch channel,causing strong current pulses.Branch B propagated obliquely upward towards the northeast before continuing northward to a region of weak radar echo at 3 km altitude,resulting in a large-scale charge transfer of approximately–250 C(C=Coulomb)and generating a sustained,strong current exceeding 2 kA.Furthermore,downward dart leaders propagating along branch A connected to the active channel of branch B at the bifurcation point.This connection generated a surge of large current pulses(M-components)superimposed on the continuing current.Evidence from 3D lightning mapping and concurrent channel-base current measurements suggests that the 10th negative dart leader split during its downward propagation,with one branch propagating to ground,while the other entered into a positive charge reservoir.This initiated a positive charge transfer to ground via the existing channel,ultimately triggering the final stroke which exhibited a bi-polarity current pulse.

文摘The recent discovery of ambient-pressure superconductivity with a critical temperature Tc exceeding 40 K in La_(3)Ni_(2)O_(7) thin films represents a significant advancement in the field of nickelate superconductivity.Motivated by recent experimental reports,we investigate an 11-band d–p Hubbard model with tight-binding parameters derived from ab initio calculations,employing large-scale determinant quantum Monte Carlo and cellular dynamical mean-field theory.Our results show that the dominant superexchange couplings in the La_(3)Ni_(2)O_(7) thin films are substantially weaker than those in the bulk material at 29.5 GPa.Specifically,the out-of-plane antiferromagnetic correlation between the Ni-d_(3z^(2)–r^(2)) orbitals is reduced by approximately 27%in the film,whereas the in-plane magnetic correlations remain largely unaffected.We further evaluate the corresponding antiferromagnetic coupling constants,J_(⊥) and J_(||),within a perturbative framework.Regarding charge-transfer properties,we find that biaxial compressive strain in the films reduces the charge-transfer gap.We further resolve the orbital distribution of doped holes and electrons between the IP(Ni-d_(x^(2)–y^(2)) and O-p_(x)/p_(y))and OP(Ni-d_(3z^(2)–r^(2)) and O-p_(z))orbitals,revealing a pronounced particle–hole asymmetry.These findings lay the groundwork for constructing a low-energy t–J model for La_(3)Ni_(2)O_(7) films and provide key insights into the physical distinctions between thin-film and bulk bilayer nickelates.
