文摘The development of efficient,cost-effective catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)is crucial for advancing zinc-air batteries(ZABs).This study presents Fe_(4)N nanoparticles embedded in N-doped carbon nanofibers(Fe_(4)N@CNF-NH_(3))as a highly efficient ORR catalyst.The Fe_(4)N@CNF-NH_(3)catalyst was synthesized via electrospinning,followed by high-temperature annealing in an NH_(3)atmosphere.This electrospinning technique ensured the uniform dispersion of Fe_(4)N nanoparticles within the carbon nanofibers(CNFs),preventing agglomeration and enhancing the availability of active sites.Structural and morphological analyses confirmed the formation of Fe_(4)N nanoparticles with a lattice spacing of 0.213 nm,surrounded by graphitic carbon structures that significantly improved the material’s conductivity and stability.Electrochemical tests demonstrated that Fe_(4)N@CNF-NH_(3)exhibited superior ORR activity,with a half-wave potential of 0.904 V,surpassing that of commercial Pt/C catalysts.This enhanced performance is attributed to the synergistic effects of Fe_(4)N nanoparticles and the conductive carbon framework,which facilitated efficient charge and mass transfer during the ORR process.Density functional theory calculations further revealed that the introduction of CNFs positively shifted the d-band center of Fe atoms,optimizing oxygen intermediate adsorption and lowering energy barriers for ORR.The practical applicability of Fe_(4)N@CNF-NH_(3)was validated through the assembly of both liquid-state and solid-state ZABs,which exhibited excellent cycling stability,high power density,and superior discharge voltage.This study offers a promising strategy for developing highly active,low-cost ORR catalysts and advances the potential for the commercialization of ZABs.

文摘Densely distributed coherent nanoparticles(DCN)in steel matrix can enhance the work-hardening ability and ductility of steel simultaneously.All the routes to this end can be generally classified into the liquid-solid route and the solid-solid route.However,the formation of DCN structures in steel requires long processes and complex steps.So far,obtaining steel with coherent particle enhancement in a short time remains a bottleneck,and some necessary steps remain unavoidable.Here,we show a high-efficiency liquid-phase refining process reinforced by a dynamic magnetic field.Ti-Y-Mn-O particles had an average size of around(3.53±1.21)nm and can be obtained in just around 180 s.These small nanoparticles were coherent with the matrix,implying no accumulated dislocations between the particles and the steel matrix.Our findings have a potential application for improving material machining capacity,creep resistance,and radiation resistance.
文摘The morphological description of wear particles in lubricating oil is crucial for wear state monitoring and fault diagnosis in aero-engines.Accurately and comprehensively acquiring three-dimensional(3D)morphological data of these particles has became a key focus in wear debris analysis.Herein,we develop a novel multi-view polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography(PS-OCT)method to achieve accurate 3D morphology detection and reconstruction of aero-engine lubricant wear particles,effectively resolving occlusion-induced information loss while enabling material-specific characterization.The particle morphology is captured by multi-view imaging,followed by filtering,sharpening,and contour recognition.The method integrates advanced registration algorithms with Poisson reconstruction to generate high-precision 3D models.This approach not only provides accurate 3D morphological reconstruction but also mitigates information loss caused by particle occlusion,ensuring model completeness.Furthermore,by collecting polarization characteristics of typical metals and their oxides in aero-engine lubricants,this work comprehensively characterizes and comparatively analyzes particle polarization properties using Stokes vectors,polarization uniformity,and cumulative phase retardation,and obtains a three-dimensional model containing polarization information.Ultimately,the proposed method enables multidimensional information acquisition for the reliable identification of abrasive particle types.

文摘Studying the contribution of regional transport to ultrafine particles(UFPs)and the deposition effect of nanoscale particles in human respiratory system is conducive to exploring the impact of atmospheric particles on the environment and human health.Based on the data set of number concentration spectrum in the particle size range of 5.6–560 nm in the spring of Hefei,the Yangtze River Delta region obtained by a fast mobility particle sizer,the explosive growth characteristics,potential source identification and deposition flux analysis of UFPs were systematically studied.The results showed that the frequency of new particle formation(NPF)events during spring was 31.5%.SO_(2) and O_(3) contribute to NPF events.Daytime,higher temperature,stronger solar radiation and lower humidity were more conducive to the explosive growth of UFPs.In addition,regional transport of pollutants from the cities around Hefei played an important role in the accumulation mode particles,which were mainly affected by the land-source air mass from northwest Jiangsu(23.64%)and the sea-source air mass from the Yellow Sea(23.99%).It was worth noting that approximately 10,406 ng of UFPs enters the human respiratory system every day.Themain deposition area of 5.6–560 nm nanoscale particles was alveolar,5.6–400 nm is more likely to be deposited on alveolar,while nanoscale particles with particle size between 400 and 560 nm is more likely to be deposited on head airways.This study identified the deposition risk of nanoscale particles in the respiratory system under different particle sizes.

文摘Aerosol particle pollution has become an increasing serious environmental problem,and urban vegetation plays a long-lasting and positive role in mitigating it.This study compared the particle capture abilities of trees,shrubs,and herbs,and examined the compositions and influence of aerosol particles accumulated on leaf functional traits.Retained particles primarily contained Ca^(2+),K^(+),SO_(4)^(2-),NO_(3)^(-)and NH_(4)^(+),indicating their anthropogenic origins.The leathery-leaved tree Osmanthus fragrans and the papery-leaved herb Alternanthera sessilis demonstrated the higher competence in particle accumulation than other plants,and leaf morphologic structures(e.g.,leaf grooves,trichomes,waxy layers,and stomata characteristics)were closely associated with particle capture by plant species.Particle retention negatively impacted stomata,impeding photosynthesis,and reducing transpiration.In response to particle accumulation,plants tended to decrease specific leaf area and adjust stomatal conductance.Both growth form and leaf texture significantly influenced the particle capture abilities of different plant species.The substantial contribution of plants,particularly herbs in the lower vegetation strata,to particle removal should not be overlooked.Vegetation with a tree-shrub-herb configuration excels at particle capture,offering potential advantages in mitigating particle pollution and enhancing ecological benefits.

文摘Nitrogen-containing organic compounds(NOCs)may potentially contribute to aqueous secondary organic aerosols,yet the different formation of NOCs in aerosol particles and cloud droplets remains unclear.With the in-situ measurements performed at a mountain site(1690 m a.s.l.)in southern China,we investigated the formation of NOCs in the cloud droplets and the cloud-free particles,based on their mixing state information of NOCscontaining particles by single particle mass spectrometry.The relative abundance of NOCs in the cloud-free particles was significantly higher than those in cloud residual(cloud RES)particles.NOCs were highly correlated with carbonyl compounds(including glyoxalate and methylglyoxal)in the cloud-free particles,however,limited correlation was observed for cloud RES particles.Analysis of their mixing state and temporal variations highlights that NOCs was mainly formed from the carbonyl compounds and ammonium in the cloud-free particles,rather than in the cloud RES particles.The results support that the formation of NOCs from carbonyl compounds is facilitated in concentrated solutions in wet aerosols,rather than cloud droplets.In addition,we have identified the transport of biomass burning particles that facilitate the formation of NOCs,and that the observed NOCs is most likely contributed to the light absorption.These findings have implications for the evaluation of NOCs formation and their contribution to light absorption.
文摘In the present study,we concentrate on finding the dual solutions of biomagnetic fluid namely blood flow and heat transfer along with magnetic particles over a two dimensional shrinking cylinder in the presence of a magnetic dipole.To make the results physically realistic,stability analysis is also carried out in this study so that we realized which solution is stable and which is not.The governing partial equations are converted into ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformations and the numerical solution is calculated by applying bvp4c function technique in MATLAB software.The effects of different physical parameters are plotted graphically and discussed according to the outcomes of results.From the present study we observe that ferromagnetic interaction parameter had a great influenced on fluid velocity and temperature distributions.It is also found from the current analysis that the first and second solutions of shrinking cylinder obtained only when we applied particular ranges values of suction parameter.The most important characteristics part of study is to analyze the skin friction coefficient and rate of heat transfer which also covered in this analysis.It reveals that both skin friction coefficient and rate of heat transfer are reduced with rising values of ferromagnetic number.A comparison has also been made to make the solution feasible.

文摘Background:Sudden sensorineural hearing loss(SSNHL),often associated with tinnitus,significantly impacts individuals'quality of life.Current treatments,such as free drugs via intravenous or intratympanic(IT)administration of dexamethasone(DEX)and lidocaine,face limitations like low bioavailability and rapid drug clearance.To address these challenges,we developed a local co-delivery system combining DEX microcrystals(DEX MCs)and lidocaine-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)(PLGA)non-spherical microparticles(LPNMs)for sustained drug release in the inner ear.Methods:DEX MCs and LPNMs were prepared using the traditional precipitation technique and double emulsion-solvent evaporation,respectively.After characterizing physicochemical properties and drug release kinetics,they were dispersed in sodium hyaluronate solution for IT injection,then in vivo pharmacokinetics and biocompatibility in guinea pigs were studied.Results:DEX MCs exhibited stable dissolution,while LPNMs provided sustained lidocaine release,reducing potential side effects.In vivo studies in guinea pigs demonstrated prolonged drug retention in the perilymph and improved pharmacokinetics.Histological evaluation confirmed the good biocompatibility of this combined delivery system,with no significant inner ear damage observed.Conclusion:This co-delivery system can be used as a depot for delivering both DEX and lidocaine to the inner ear and offers a promising approach for the synergistic treatment of SSNHL associated with tinnitus.

文摘Herein,we fabricate an embedding structure at the interface between Pt nanoparticles(NPs)and CeO_(2)-{100}nanocubes with surface defect sites(CeO_(2)-SDS)through quenching and gas bubbling-assisted membrane reduction methods.The in-situ substitution of Pt NPs for atomic-layer Ce lattice significantly increases the amount of reactive oxygen species from 133.68μmol/g to 199.44μmol/g.As a result,the distinctive geometric structure of Pt/CeO_(2)-SDS catalyst substantially improves the catalytic activity and stability for soot oxidation compared with the catalyst with no quenching process,i.e.,its T_(50)and TOF values are 332°C and 2.915 h^(-1),respectively.Combined with the results of experimental investigations and density functional theory calculations,it is unveiled that the unique embedding structure of Pt/CeO_(2)-SDS catalyst can facilitate significantly electron transfer from Pt to the CeO_(2)-{100}support,and induce the formation of interfacial[Ce-O_(x)-Pt_(2)]bond chains,which plays a crucial role in enhancing the key step of soot oxidation through the dual activation of surface lattice oxygen and molecular O_(2).Such a fundamental revelation of the interfacial electronic transmission and corresponding modification strategy contributes a novel opportunity to develop high-efficient and stable noble metal catalysts at the atomic level.
文摘This article investigates into the physical and thermo mechanical properties of a friction composite material based on ox horn and phenolic resin.The tests revealed that an intermediate density of 100μm offers a good balance between density and homogeneity.Increasing the horn particles fraction reduces the density of the composite,thereby influencing its compactness and porosity.Scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and transmission electron microscopy(TEM)morphology analysis revealed that fine particles(50μm)provide good dispersion and promote porosity.Intermediate particles(100μm)offer the best balance of cohesion,low porosity and good mechanical performance.Coarse particles(300μm)provide greater density but less effective interfacial adhesion.The compressive strength of the composite depends heavily on particle size and horn particles fraction.The static friction coefficient of the horn particles and phenolic resin composite(100μm)is 0.42/0.35(for Kevlar-based brake linings)and 0.40(for carbon fibre-based linings).Wear tests have proven that the ox horn and phenolic resin composite varies between 2.5-3.0(mm^(3)/Nm)and 1.5-2.0(mm^(3)/Nm).

文摘The effect of intermetallic particles on the corrosion of 6061 aluminum alloy and its coating used in semiconductor processing systems was systematically studied via liquid and gas experiments and micromorphology characterization.The results revealed that a huge difference of corrosion resistance between imported and domestic 6061 aluminum alloys in HCl solution and gas acid mist experiments mainly was attributed to the different size and amount of Al_(15)(Fe,Mn)_(3)Si_(2).The corrosion resistance of domestic 6061 alloy in dry/wet semiconductor electronic special gas environments was worse than that of imported aluminum alloy,and there are great differences in the corrosion mechanism of 6061 alloy caused by the second phase in the two dry/wet environments.And the corrosion resistance of the hard anodized alumina film was closely related to the microscopic morphology of holes.The vertical and elongatedα-Al_(15)(Mn,Fe)_(3)Si_(2) phase was formed in the rolled aluminum alloy that has been rolled perpendicular to the surface of the substrate.Compared to the horizontal long hole,the longitudinal long holes generated by the verticalα-Al_(15)(Mn,Fe)_(3)Si_(2) phase will enable the corrosive medium to reach the substrate rapidly,which significantly weakens the corrosion resistance of the hard anodized film.

文摘Triboelectric nanogenerators(TENGs)are emerging as new technologies to harvest electrical power from mechanical energy.With the distinctive working mechanism of triboelectric nanogenerators,they attract particular interest in healthcare monitoring,wearable electronics,and deformable energy harvesting,which raises the requirement for highly conformable devices with substantial energy outputs.Here,a simple,low-cost strategy for fabricating stretchable triboelectric nanogenerators with ultra-high electrical output is developed.The TENG is prepared using PTFE micron particles(PPTENG),contributing a different electrostatic induction process compared to TENG based on dielectric films,which was associated with the dynamics of particle motions in PP-TENG.The generator achieved an impressive voltage output of 1000 V with a current of 25 lA over a contact area of 40320 mm^(2).Additionally,the TENG exhibits excellent durability with a stretching strain of 500%,and the electrical output performance does not show any significant degradation even after 3000 cycles at a strain of 400%.The unique design of the device provides high conformability and can be used as a self-powered sensor for human motion detection.
文摘Pollution of transboundary rivers can result from anthropogenic activities in their watersheds.In this study,sediment traps were deployed to determine the fluxes,concentrations,and health risks associated with arsenic,cadmium,mercury,lead,and iron in the estuaries of three transboundary rivers(Comoé,Bia,and Tanoé)in West Africa.Thus,the analysis of metal-associated sedimentation particle samples collected in rainy,flood,and dry seasons was required.Sediment traps were used to calculate the metal fluxes associated with sedimentation particles towards the Atlantic Ocean.Finally,the carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks of ingestion and dermal contact associated with sedimentation particles were assessed.The results showed that the total concentrations of trace metals in particulate matter were higher than in the UCC(Upper Crust Continental),with the exception of lead.The highest fluxes of lead,mercury,iron and arsenic associated with sedimented particles were observed during flood periods in the estuary of the Comoé,Bia and Tanoérivers.Cadmium fluxes associated with sedimentation particles were highest in the rainy season in the Bia and Comoéestuaries and in the flood season in the Tanoéestuary.Pearson’s correlation analysis and the enrichment factor showed that the trace metals were derived from anthropogenic activities such as mining and farming.In addition,contamination indices showed that sediment particles in the estuaries of the three rivers were severely contaminated with mercury.However,the results of potential human health risks associated with trace metals show that there is no probability of exposure of the community to harmful and carcinogenic effects through ingestion and dermal absorption of sediment particles.It is essential to integrate the information from this study into policy-and decision-making processes for better management of transboundary river water resources in coastal countries,particularly the Côte d’Ivoire.

文摘This study focused on investigating the effects of various factors on the mechanical properties of superconducting matrix composites reinforced with ferromagnetic particles and interface phases when exposed to external magnetic fields.A micromechanical model was created by simplifying the basic properties and composition of the interface,utilizing principles such as Eshelby’s equivalent inclusion theory and Hooke’s law,as well as applying uniform stress boundary conditions.Through the development of equations,the study predicted changes in effective mechanical properties,highlighting the significant influence of parameters like the interface phase,inclusions,and magnetic field on the effective elastic modulus and magnetostriction of the composite material.By shedding light on these relationships,the research offers valuable insights for the manufacture and application of ferromagnetic particle-reinforced superconducting matrix composites with interface phases,providing a foundation for future research in this area.

文摘In this work,microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg weld with addition of carbon nanotubes(CNTs)and Ti C particles were investigated.The results showed that the weld microstructure was mainly presented as equiaxed grains with almost high angle grain boundaries.The introduction of reinforcements promoted the formation of precipitates and refined the grains effectively,the average grain size was refined by 51%and 23%with addition of CNTs and Ti C particles,respectively.The dislocation density and the fraction of CSL boundaries were increased with addition of CNTs,while those were decreased with addition of Ti C particles.Besides,the infrequent{10¯13}contraction twins formed within the weld due to the stress concentration caused by dislocation accumulation,which contributed to theΣ29 CSL boundary.The ultimate tensile strength and elongation rate were increased by 13.5%and 40%with addition of CNTs,while the ultimate tensile strength and micro-hardness were increased by 14.8%and 20.9%with addition of Ti C particles.
