文摘This study presents a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis on Batrachospermaceae based on key taxonomic identifiers(rbcL,psaA,psbA,and COI-5P)from some genera.To systematically explore the phylogenetic relationships and taxonomy within Batrachospermaceae,we integrated molecular and morphological data,and explored the phylogeny,character evolution,and ancestral geographical origin and provided a theoretical support for the classification and geographic origination of Batrachospermaceae.Our findings reveal distinct relationships within the phylogenetic tree.Notably,10 genera(Sirodotia,Batrachospermum,Tuomeya,Volatus,Lympha,Nothocladus,Torularia,Sheathia,Nocturama,and Petrohua)are closely associated in the rbcL phylogenetic tree.Additionally,four genera(Kumanoa,Hoefkenia,Notohesperus,and Virescentia)exhibit high support ratios,indicating their close interrelations.Other genera,including Paludicola,Visia,Acarposporophycos,Macrosporophycos,Visioidea,Balliopsis,and Psilosiphon,exhibit clustering traits.Furthermore,the multigene sequences provide a robust support for Montagnia that forms a monophyletic group.Ancestral reconstruction of morphological characters identifies nine primitive character states,including whorl,fascicle length,cortical cells,secondary fascicles,the shape of carpogonical branch,spermatangia,carposporophyte,carpogonium and trichogyne,with Visia likely representing ancestral traits in Batrachospermaceae.Furthermore,geographical origin maps suggest a potential common ancestral of Batrachospermaceae origin in the American continent.Additional to conventional analyses,including evolutionary and ancestral reconstruction investigations into key morphological characters,we attempt to reconstruct the biogeography within the Batrachospermaceae,thus contributing to a nuanced understanding of its origin.

文摘Developing efficient and durable electrocatalysts for acidic oxygen evolution reaction(OER)is pivotal for advancing proton exchange membrane water electrolysis(PEMWEs),yet balancing activity and stability remains a formidable challenge.Herein,we propose a dual-engineering strategy to stabilize Ru-based catalysts by synergizing the oxygen vacancy site-synergized mechanism-lattice oxygen mechanism(OVSM-LOM)with Ru-N bond stabilization.The engineered RuO_(2)@NCC catalyst exhibits exceptional OER performance in 0.5 M H2SO4,achieving an ultralow overpotential of 215 mV at 10 mA cm^(-2) and prolonged stability for over 327 h.The catalyst delivers 300 h of continuous operation at 1 A cm^(-2),with a negligible degradation rate of only 0.067 mV h-1,further demonstrating its potential for practical application.Oxygen vacancies unlock the OVSM-LOM pathway,bypassing the sluggish adsorbate evolution mechanism(AEM)and accelerating reaction kinetics,while the Ru-N bonds suppress Ru dissolution by anchoring low-valent Ru centers.Quasi-in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),X-ray absorption spectroscopy(XAS),and isotopic labeling experiments confirm the lattice oxygen participation with *O formation as the rate-determining step.The Ru-N bonds reinforce the structural integrity by stabilizing low-valent Ru centers and inhibiting overoxidation.Theoretical calculations further verify that the synergistic interaction between OVs and Ru-O(N)active sites optimizes the Ru d-band center and stabilizes intermediates,while Ru-N coordination enhances structural integrity.This study establishes a novel paradigm for designing robust acidic OER catalysts through defect and coordination engineering,bridging the gap between activity and stability for sustainable energy technologies.

文摘Developing catalysts with excellent stability while significantly reducing the overpotential of the oxygen evolution reaction(OER) is crucial for advancing overall water splitting(OWS) systems.In this study,we synthesized the electrode material Ce-NiCo-LDHs@SnO_(2)/NF through a two-step hydrothermal reaction,where Ce-doped NiCo-LDHs are grown on nickel foam modified by a SnO_(2) layer.Ce doping adjusts the internal electronic distribution of Ni Co-LDHs,while the introduction of the SnO_(2) layer enhances electron transfer capability.Together,these factors contribute to the reduction of the OER energy barrier and experimental evidence confirms that the reaction proceeds via the lattice oxygen evolution mechanism(LOM).Consequently,Ce-NiCo-LDHs@SnO_(2)/NF exhibits high level electrochemical performance in OER,requiring only 234 m V overpotential to achieve a current density of 10 m A/cm^(2),with a Tafel slope of just 27.39 m V/dec.When paired with Pt/C/NF,an external potential of only 1.54 V is needed to drive OWS to attain a current density amounting to 10 m A/cm^(2).Furthermore,the catalyst demonstrates stability for 100 h during the OWS stability test.This study underscores the feasibility of enhancing the OER performance through Ce doping and the introduction of a conductive SnO_(2) layer.

文摘To realize the practical application of anion exchange membrane water electrolysis(AEMWE),it is essential to develop highly active,durable,and cost-effective electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction(OER).Herein,we report a hollow-structured Ni_(x)Co_(1−x)O/Ni_(3)S_(2)/Co_(9)S_(8)heterostructure synthesized via sequential template-assisted growth,thermal oxidation,and controlled sulfidation process.The abundant bimetallic heterointerfaces not only provide additional active sites but also promote electronic modulation via charge redistribution.Additionally,the porous and hollow architecture enhances active surface area and mass transfer ability,thereby increasing the number of accessible active sites for alkaline OER.As a result,the prepared electrocatalyst achieves low overpotential of 310 mV at 10 mA cm^(−2)and small Tafel slope of 55.94 mV dec^(−1),demonstrating the exceptional electrocatalytic performance for alkaline OER.When integrated as the anode in an AEMWE cell,it delivers outstanding performance with only 1.657 V at 1.0 A cm^(−2)and reaches high current density of 5.0 A cm^(−2)at 1.989 V,surpassing those of commercial RuO_(2).The cell also shows excellent long-term durability over 100 h with minimal degradation.This study highlights the strong potential of rationally engineered oxide/sulfide heterostructures for next-generation alkaline water electrolysis.

文摘Magnetic field-driven spin polarization modulation has emerged as an effective way to boost the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction(OER).However,the correlation among catalyst structure,magnetic property,and magnetic field enhanced-electrochemical activity remains to be fully elucidated.Herein,single-domain CoFe_(2)O_(4) catalysts with tunable oxygen vacancies(CFO-V_(O)) were synthesized to probe how V_(O) mediates magnetism and OER activity under magnetic field.The introduction of V_(O) can simultaneously modulate saturation magnetization(M_(s)) and coercivity(H_(c)),where the increased M_(s) dominates the magnetic field-enhanced OER activity.Under a 14,000 G magnetic field,the optimized CFO-V_(O) exhibits up to 16.1 % reduction in overpotential and 365 % enhancement in magnetocurrent(MC).Electrochemical analyses and post-OER characterization reveal that the magnetic field synergistically improves OER kinetics through lattice distortion induction,magnetohydrodynamic effect,and spin charge transfer effect.Importantly,the magnetic field promotes additional Co^(3+) generation to compensate for charge imbalance caused by V_(O) filling,maintaining dynamic equilibrium of V_(O) and effective reactant adsorption-conversion processes.This work unveils the synergistic mechanism of V_(O) and magnetic parameters for enhancing OER performance under the magnetic field,providing new insights into the design of high-efficiency spinregulated OER catalysts.

文摘Serbisütherapy(ST)is a distinctive external treatment modality within traditional Mongolian medicine(TMM),historically developed within a nomadic cultural framework.This study presents a comprehensive philological and historical analysis of ST,tracing its evolution from early battlefield applications to contemporary clinical use.By critically examining classical Mongolian medical texts alongside modern case studies,we aim to systematize ST’s therapeutic methods,indications,and limitations,while exploring its mechanisms of action through both traditional theory and modern biomedical perspectives.ST has undergone significant transformation,shifting from whole-body cavity immersion in the 13th century to targeted,organ-specific applications in modern practice.Its four primary methods–Covering,Mounted,Organ Placement,and Suction–demonstrate efficacy in treating cold-natured diseases,musculoskeletal disorders,gynecological conditions,and certain emergencies.ST embodies the core principles of TMM,particularly the balance of the“Three Roots”and the correction of cold-induced pathologies through heat.Despite challenges related to standardization,cultural translation,and regulatory acceptance,ST holds translational potential for integrative medicine.Future research should prioritize mechanistic validation,clinical standardization,and the development of biocompatible thermal technologies to bridge traditional practice with modern healthcare systems.

文摘To reveal the influence of coupled effects of dry-wet cycling and precompression stress(CEDWCPS)on the damage evolution of limestone with horizontal fissure(LHF),a series of degradation and uniaxial compression tests were conducted,and a corresponding piecewise damage constitutive model(PDCM)was established.We found that both dry-wet cycling and precompression stress deteriorate the physical properties,alter the microscopic characteristics,and reduce the mechanical properties of the LHF.These degradations are particularly pronounced under the CEDWCPS,although the magnitude of these changes gradually diminishes with the progression of dry-wet cycling.Meanwhile,they also reduce the deformation degree,prolong the micropore compaction stage,shorten the unstable crack propagation stage,lower the frequency and intensity of AE events,decrease the high-amplitude and high-frequency AE signals,enlarge crack scales,and shorten the crack initiation time.Among the changes of these indicators,the dry-wet cycling plays a dominant role.The crack types of LHF under the CEDWCPS(LHFCEDWCPS)are predominantly tensile cracks,supplemented by shear cracks.The failure mode can be defined as tensileshear composite failure.Finally,the established PDCM effectively captures the nonlinear deformation of micropore and the linear deformation of the matrix in LHFCEDWCPS,with all corresponding R^(2) consistently exceeding 0.97.

文摘Oxygen evolution reaction(OER)is a key step in hydrogen production by water electrolysis technology.How-ever,developing efficient,stable,and low-cost OER electrocatalysts is still challenging.This article presents the preparation of a series of novel copper iridium nanocatalysts with heterostructures and low iridium content for OER.The electrochemical tests revealed higher OER of Cu@Ir_(0.3) catalyst under acidic conditions with a generated current density of 10 mA/cm^(2) at only 284 mV overpotential.The corresponding OER mass activity was estimated to be 1.057 A/mgIr,a value 8.39-fold higher than that of the commercial IrO_(2).After 50 h of endurance testing,the Cu@Ir_(0.3) catalyst preserved excellent catalytic activity with a negligible rise in overpotential and maintained a good heterostructures.Cu@Ir_(0.3) The excellent OER activity can be attributed to its heterostructure,as con-firmed by density functional theory(DFT)calculations,indicating that Cu@Ir The coupling between isoquanta causes charge redistribution,optimizing the adsorption energy of unsaturated Ir sites for oxygen intermediates and reducing the energy barrier of OER free energy determining the rate step.In summary,this method provides a new approach for designing efficient,stable,and low iridium content OER catalysts.

文摘The Ordos Basin is a large superimposed hydrocarbon-bearing basin in China,and further research on the sedimentary characteristics and sedimentary evolution of the sequence framework of target layers is of great theoretical and practical significance for guiding oil and gas exploration.The sedimentary facies and sedimentary evolution of the high-resolution sequence framework of the Carboniferous Taiyuan Formation in the Hangjinqi area have been systematically analyzed for the first time by drilling,logging and seismic data.The results show that four types of sequence interfaces can be identified in the Taiyuan Formation:regional unconformity surfaces,scour surfaces,lithologic-lithofacies transformation surfaces and flooding surfaces.According to the sedimentary response caused by the upward and downward movements of the base level at different levels,the Taiyuan Formation can be divided into 2 long-term cycles(LSC_(1)-LSC_(2)),4 mid-term cycles(MSC_(1)-MSC4)and 7 short-term cycles(SSC_(1)-SSC7).The long-and mid-term cycles correspond to members T_(1)and T_(2)and layers T_(1)-1,T_(1-2),T_(2-1),and T_(2)-2,respectively.Long-term cycles are dominated by C_(1);mid-term cycles are dominated by C_(1)and C_(2),followed by A2;and short-term cycles are dominated by C_(1),C_(2),A1 and A2.Under the high-resolution sequence stratigraphic framework,the Hangjinqi area underwent a transformation of fan delta and tidal flat depositional systems during the Taiyuan Formation sedimentary period.In the MSC_(1)-MSC_(2)stage,owing to a large-scale paleocontinent,the fan delta sedimentary body,which was limited in scale and scope,developed only in the southeastern corner and gradually transitioned basinward to tidal flat facies.In the MSC3-MSC4 stage,as the paleocontinent continuously decreased and the sedimentary range expanded,fan-delta plain sedimentation began in the study area.Several braided distributary channels with poor connectivity developed on the fan-delta plain,and between them were floodplains and peat swamps.

文摘The scaling-up of electrochemical CO_(2)reduction requires circumventing the CO_(2)loss as carbonates under alkaline conditions.Zero-gap MEA cell configurations with a proton exchange membrane represent an alternative solution in a pure acidic system,but the catalyst layer in direct contact with the hydrated proton environment usually leads to H_(2)evolution dominating.Herein,we show that polydimethyldiallyl-ammonium-chloride-coated Ag(Ag@PDDA)electrode exhibits outstanding performance with a FE of 86%,a single-pass conversion of 72%,and a stability of 28 h for CO production in pure-acid MEA compared with ammonium poly(N-methyl-piperidine-co-pterphenyl)decorated Ag(Ag/QAPPT)and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide decorated Ag(Ag/CTAB).The in situ ATR-SEIRAS reveal that PDDA creates a positive charge-rich protective outer layer and an N-rich hybrid inner layer,which not only suppresses the migration of H+during the electrolysis process and blocks the direct contact between H2O and Ag catalyst,but also promotes the generation from CO_(2)to*COOH in a pure-acid system.This work highlights the importance of polyelectrolyte engineering in regulating the electrocatalytic interface and accelerates the development of proton exchange membrane CO_(2)electrolysis.

文摘During the oxygen evolution reaction(OER),reconstruction of transition metal sulfides(TMSs)is inevitable.However,the lack of a clear theoretical understanding of this process has impeded the development of effective reconstruction regulation strategies.In this study,we first explored the reconstruction mechanism of CoS_(2)during OER from the perspective of electronic structure and identified two possible pathways:the OH-assisted mechanism and the O-assisted mechanism.Further verification showed that these mechanisms are universally applicable to other TMSs(e.g.,FeS_(2)).Based on the reconstruction mechanism,we investigated the basic reasons for the influence of various regulation strategies,such as vacancy modification and facet engineering,on the reconstruction ability.This verified that the method of analyzing the change in the reconstruction ability of catalysts based on the reconstruction mechanism has a high degree of applicability.Importantly,we proposed a core regulation strategy:the coordination symmetry regulation strategy.Specifically,by breaking the symmetry of the surface coordination environment of TMSs(such as introducing heteroatom doping or strain),the reconstruction process will be facilitated.Our findings provide a comprehensive mechanistic explanation for the reconstruction of TMS catalysts and offer a new idea for the rational design of OER catalysts with controllable reconstruction capacity.

文摘The traditional"trial and error"microstructural control method,with high cost and low efficiency,has become a key issue restricting the development of ultra-high strength and toughness titanium alloys.This study adopts the molybdenum equivalent(Mo_([eq]))method to rapidly design Ti-xMo-4Al-4Zr-3Nb-2Cr-1Fe alloys(x=5-9).The as-cast alloys with different Mo_([eq])exhibit a single peak of theβphase in XRD.Theβgrains of 5Mo alloy(the lowest Mo_([eq]))exhibit elongated columnar grain characteristics.As the Mo_([eq])increases,theβgrains transition towards a more equiaxed form,resulting in a decrease in aspect ratio and a reduction in grain size.As the Mo_([eq])increases,the a phase content gradually decreases and the a phase is almost unobservable in 9Mo alloy(the highest Mo_([eq])).The a phase in 5Mo alloy exhibits short rod-shaped shapes with an average length of about2.4μm,while the a phase in 6Mo alloy shows an equiaxed and short rod shapes with the smallest size.The strength,plasticity,and toughness are the lowest in 5Mo alloy,with values of 867 MPa,7.3%,and 56 MPa·m^(1/2),respectively.However,it reaches its maximum in 6Mo alloy,where the strength,plasticity,and toughness increase to 984 MPa,12.8%,and 74 MPa·m^(1/2),respectively.The mechanical properties of Ti-xMo-4Al-4Zr-3Nb-2Cr-1Fe alloys are affected mainly by solid-solution strengthening of Mo element,refinement ofβgrain,and changes inα/βphase content.This study lays a certain theoretical foundation for the theoretical research and composition development of new ultra-high strength and toughness titanium alloys.

文摘The dissimilar 2B06 and 7B04 Al alloy joints were prepared by refill friction stir spot welding(RFSSW),and the microstructural evolution and corrosion behavior of the joints were investigated.Based on microstructural analysis,the welded joints exhibit distinct microstructural zones,including the stir zone(SZ),thermomechanically affected zone(TMAZ),and heat-affected zone(HAZ).The grain size of each zone is in the order of HAZ>TMAZ>SZ.Notably,the TMAZ and HAZ contain significantly larger secondary-phase particles compared to the SZ,with particle size in the HAZ increasing at higher rotational speeds.Electrochemical tests indicate that corrosion susceptibility follows the sequence of HAZ>TMAZ>SZ>BM,with greater sensitivity observed at increased rotational speeds.Post-corrosion mechanical performance degradation primarily arises from crevice corrosion at joint overlaps,but not from the changes in the microstructure.

文摘Welding deformation adversely affects the quality and precision of structural components,and traditional methods require significant material resources and time.Machine learning has demonstrated exceptional ac-curacy and efficiency in solving complex problems.Thus,the use of machine learning to predict welding de-formations is a novel approach.In this study,laser welding experiments were conducted on a TC4 titanium alloy to establish a welding deformation dataset.The deep neural network(DNN)and convolutional neural network(CNN)models were designed and constructed,with average prediction errors of 0.85 mm and 0.94 mm on the validation set,respectively.To further optimize the network parameters,a differential evolution algorithm was employed through mutation,crossover,and selection.The results indicated that after optimization,the pre-diction errors of the DNN and CNN models reduced to 0.75 mm and 0.85 mm,respectively.These represent accuracy improvements of 14.8%and 9.6%,respectively.The optimized models exhibited superior predictive performances for the validation set.
