Here, we developed an innovative heterogeneous interface engineering strategy to boost the electrocatalytic performance of overall water splitting. This approach involves the synergistic integration of ultra‐fine CoMoP nanocrystals coupled with three‐ dimensional (3D) porous C3N4/N‐doped carbon (NC) architectures, constructing a distinctive CoMoP/C3N4/NC heterogeneous interface. The CoMoP/C3N4/NC exhibits distinguished overall water splitting performance. To drive the overall water splitting current of 10 mA cm−2, the CoMoP/C3N4/NC||CoMoP/C3N4/NC electrolysis cell only needs an ultralow cell voltage of 1.496 V. The electronic properties and localized coordination environments characterizations, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations elucidate that the improved catalytic activities of CoMoP/C3N4/NC are primarily attributed to the synergistic interfacial coupling between CoMoP/C3N4/NC heterogeneous interface. A novel multi‐site synergistic catalytic mechanism was revealed by the DFT calculations, in which the optimum H* adsorption site on CoMoP/C3N4/NC for HER is on the cobalt atoms in CoMoP with the ultralow Gibbs free energy of hydrogen bonding (ΔGH*) of 0.018 eV, while for the OER, the optimum intermediates adsorption site of the CoMoP/C3N4/NC is on the carbon atoms in C3N4/NC. Besides, the intricately engineered 3D hierarchical porous framework of the CoMoP/C3N4/NC can facilitate the ion and electron transport and improve mass transfer, which gives rise to enhanced water splitting performance.展开更多

文摘Energy shortage has become one of themost concerning issues in the world today,and improving energy utilization efficiency is a key area of research for experts and scholars worldwide.Small-diameter heat exchangers offer advantages such as reduced material usage,lower refrigerant charge,and compact structure.However,they also face challenges,including increased refrigerant pressure drop and smaller heat transfer area inside the tubes.This paper combines the advantages and disadvantages of both small and large-diameter tubes and proposes a combined-diameter heat exchanger,consisting of large and small diameters,for use in the indoor units of split-type air conditioners.There are relatively few studies in this area.In this paper,A theoretical and numerical computation method is employed to establish a theoretical-numerical calculation model,and its reliability is verified through experiments.Using this model,the optimal combined diameters and flow path design for a combined-diameter heat exchanger using R32 as the working fluid are derived.The results show that the heat transfer performance of all combined diameter configurations improves by 2.79%to 8.26%compared to the baseline design,with the coefficient of performance(COP)increasing from 4.15 to 4.27~4.5.These designs can save copper material,but at the cost of an increase in pressure drop by 66.86%to 131.84%.The scheme IIIH,using R32,is the optimal combined-diameter and flow path configuration that balances both heat transfer performance and economic cost.

文摘Altermagnets represent a newly discovered class of magnetically ordered materials.Among all the candidates,CrSb stands out due to its largest spin splitting energy and highest Néel temperature exceeding 700 K,making it promising for room-temperature spintronic applications.Here we have successfully grown high quality CrSb(100)thin film on GaAs(110)substrate by molecular beam epitaxy.Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy,we successfully obtained the three-dimensional electronic structure of the thin film.Moreover,we observed the emergence of the altermagnetic splitting bands corresponding to the calculated results along the low symmetry pathsT-QandP-D.The bands near the Fermi level are only spin splitting bands along theP-Ddirection,with splitting energy reaching as high as 910 meV.This finding provides insights into the magnetic properties of CrSb thin films and paves the way for further studies on their electronic structure and potential applications in spintronics.

文摘We report the observation of Zeeman splitting in multiple spectral lines emitted by a laser-produced,magnetized plasma(1–3×10^(18)cm^(-3),1–15 eV)in the context of a laboratory astrophysics experiment under a controlled magneticfield up to 20T.Nitrogen lines(NII)in the visible range were used to diagnose the magneticfield and plasma conditions.This was performed by coupling our data with(563–574 nm)the Stark–Zeeman line-shape code PPPB.The excellent agreement between experiment and simulations paves the way for a non-intrusive experimental platform to get time-resolved measurements of the local magneticfield in laboratory plasmas.

文摘CuBi_(2)O_(4)is identified as a promising photocathode in photoelectrochemical(PEC)water splitting systems.However,the PEC performance of CuBi_(2)O_(4)is far from expected due to the limited separation and transport efficiency of photogenerated carriers.To address the above issues,a cost-effective ternary Cu:NiO_(X)/CuBi_(2)O_(4)/CuO composite photocathode was designed.Firstly,a thin Cu:NiO_(X)film was inserted between CuBi_(2)O_(4)and FTO conducting substrate as a hole-selective layer,which promotes the transmission of photogenerated holes to the FTO substrate effectively.Furthermore,the modification of CuO film on the CuBi_(2)O_(4)electrode not only increases the absorption of sunlight and generates more photogenerated carriers,but also constitutes a heterojunction with CuBi_(2)O_(4),creating a built-in electric field,which facilitates the separation of electrons and holes,and accelerates the electrons transfer to electrode–electrolyte interface.The fabricated Cu:NiO_(X)/CuBi_(2)O_(4)/CuO composite photocathode exhibits a surprisingly high photocurrent density of−1.51 mA·cm^(−2)at 0.4 V versus RHE,which is 2.6 times that of the pristine CuBi_(2)O_(4)photocathode.The improved PEC performance is attributed to the synergy effect of the Cu:NiO_(X)hole-selective layer and the CuBi_(2)O_(4)/CuO heterojunction.Moreover,the combination with the BiVO_(4)/CoS,an unbiased overall water splitting was achieved,which has a photocurrent of 0.193 mA·cm^(−2).

文摘Altermagnets,a class of unconventional antiferromagnets with non-relativistic spin-splitting,offer promising potential for antiferromagnetic spintronic devices.While many altermagnets are limited by either low magnetic transition temperatures or weak spin splitting,the recently discovered metal CrSb,with high N′eel temperature(T_(N)=710 K)and significant spin-splitting due to its unique spin space group,provides a robust platform for remarkable tunneling magnetoresistance(TMR)in collinear all-antiferromagnetic tunnel junctions(AATJs).This study systematically investigates the spin-polarized Fermi surface of CrSb and spin-dependent electron transport in CrSb-based AATJs.The CrSb/β-InSe/CrSb junction with a three-monolayer InSe barrier exhibits a TMR ratio of approximately 290%,with energy-dependent analysis revealing TMR ratios that may exceed 850%when considering the shift of the Fermi energy.We also demonstrate the angle-dependent TMR of CrSb-based AATJs by adjusting N′eel vector orientations.Our findings might provide strong theoretical support for CrSb as a versatile building block for all-antiferromagnetic memory devices.

文摘Green hydrogen from water splitting has emerged as a critical energy vector with the potential to spearhead the global transition to a fossil fuel-independent society.The field of catalysis has been revolutionized by single-atom catalysts(SACs),which exhibit unique and intricate interactions between atomically dispersed metal atoms and their supports.Recently,bimetallic SACs(bimSACs)have garnered significant attention for leveraging the synergistic functions of two metal ions coordinated on appropriately designed supports.BimSACs offer an avenue for rich metal–metal and metal–support cooperativity,potentially addressing current limitations of SACs in effectively furnishing transformations which involve synchronous proton–electron exchanges,substrate activation with reversible redox cycles,simultaneous multi-electron transfer,regulation of spin states,tuning of electronic properties,and cyclic transition states with low activation energies.This review aims to encapsulate the growing advancements in bimSACs,with an emphasis on their pivotal role in hydrogen generation via water splitting.We subsequently delve into advanced experimental methodologies for the elaborate characterization of SACs,elucidate their electronic properties,and discuss their local coordination environment.Overall,we present comprehensive discussion on the deployment of bimSACs in both hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction,the two half-reactions of the water electrolysis process.

文摘The increase in soil temperature associated with climate change has introduced considerable challenges to crop production.Split nitrogen application(SN)represents a potential strategy for improving crop nitrogen use efficiency and enhancing crop stress resistance.Nevertheless,the precise interaction between soil warming(SW)and SN remains unclear.In order to ascertain the impact of SW on maize growth and whether SN can improve the tolerance of maize to SW,a two-year field experiment was conducted(2022-2023).The aim was to examine the influence of two SW ranges(MT,warming 1.40℃;HT,warming 2.75℃)and two nitrogen application methods(N1,one-time basal application of nitrogen fertilizer;N2,one third of base nitrogen fertilizer+two thirds of jointing stage supplemental nitrogen fertilizer)on maize root growth,photosynthetic characteristics,nitrogen use efficiency,and yield.The results demonstrated that SW impeded root growth and precipitated the premature aging of maize leaves following anthesis,particularly in the HT,which led to a notable reduction in maize yield.In comparison to N1,SN has been shown to increase root length density by 8.54%,root bleeding rate by 8.57%,and enhance root distribution ratio in the middle soil layers(20-60 cm).The interaction between SW and SN had a notable impact on maize growth and yield.The SN improved the absorption and utilization efficiency of nitrogen by promoting root development and downward canopy growth,thus improving the tolerance of maize to SW at the later stage of growth.In particular,the N2HT resulted in a 14.51%increase in the photosynthetic rate,a 18.58%increase in nitrogen absorption efficiency,and a 18.32%increase in maize yield compared with N1HT.It can be posited that the SN represents a viable nitrogen management measure with the potential to enhance maize tolerance to soil high-temperature stress.

文摘This study presents a novel method to fabricate metal-decorated,sulfur-doped layered double hydroxides(M/SLDH)through spontaneous redox and sulfurization processes.The developed Ag/SLDH and Pt/SLDH catalysts with abundant heterogeneous interfaces and hierarchical nanostructures demonstrated outstanding oxygen evolution reaction(OER)and hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)performance,achieving low overpotentials of 212 and 35 mV at 10 mA cm^(-2)in 1 M KOH,respectively.As both anode and cathode in water splitting,they required only 1.47 V to reach 10 mA cm^(-2)and exhibited high structural robustness,maintaining stability at 1000 mA cm^(-2)for 300 h.In-situ Raman analysis revealed that the synergistic effects of metal nanoparticles and S doping significantly promote the transformation into the S-Co1-xFexOOH layer,which serves as the active phase for water oxidation.Additionally,ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy(UPS)and density functional theory(DFT)analyses indicated that incorporating metal nanoparticles and S doping increase electron density near the Fermi level and reduce reaction energy barriers,thus enhancing intrinsic OER and HER activities.This study provides a scalable strategy for synthesizing high-performance electrocatalysts for water splitting,with promising potential for broader applications.

文摘The design of efficient and cost‐effective bifunctional catalysts, which are capable of driving both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), is of paramount importance for advancing overall water splitting. Here, we developed an innovative heterogeneous interface engineering strategy to boost the electrocatalytic performance of overall water splitting. This approach involves the synergistic integration of ultra‐fine CoMoP nanocrystals coupled with three‐ dimensional (3D) porous C3N4/N‐doped carbon (NC) architectures, constructing a distinctive CoMoP/C3N4/NC heterogeneous interface. The CoMoP/C3N4/NC exhibits distinguished overall water splitting performance. To drive the overall water splitting current of 10 mA cm−2, the CoMoP/C3N4/NC||CoMoP/C3N4/NC electrolysis cell only needs an ultralow cell voltage of 1.496 V. The electronic properties and localized coordination environments characterizations, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations elucidate that the improved catalytic activities of CoMoP/C3N4/NC are primarily attributed to the synergistic interfacial coupling between CoMoP/C3N4/NC heterogeneous interface. A novel multi‐site synergistic catalytic mechanism was revealed by the DFT calculations, in which the optimum H* adsorption site on CoMoP/C3N4/NC for HER is on the cobalt atoms in CoMoP with the ultralow Gibbs free energy of hydrogen bonding (ΔGH*) of 0.018 eV, while for the OER, the optimum intermediates adsorption site of the CoMoP/C3N4/NC is on the carbon atoms in C3N4/NC. Besides, the intricately engineered 3D hierarchical porous framework of the CoMoP/C3N4/NC can facilitate the ion and electron transport and improve mass transfer, which gives rise to enhanced water splitting performance.

文摘The stability and electrocatalytic efficiency of transition metal oxides for water splitting is determined by geometric and electronic structure,especially under high current densities.Herein,a newly designed lamella-heterostructured nanoporous CoFe/CoFe_(2)O_(4) and CeO_(2−x),in situ grown on nickel foam(NF),holds great promise as a high-efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst(named R-CoFe/Ce/NF)for water splitting.Experimental characterization verifies surface reconstruction from CoFe alloy/oxide to highly active CoFeOOH during in situ electrochemical polarization.By virtues of three-dimensional nanoporous architecture and abundant electroactive CoFeOOH/CeO_(2−x) heterostructure interfaces,the R-CoFe/Ce/NF electrode achieves low overpotentials for oxygen evolution(η_(10)=227 mV;η_(500)=450 mV)and hydrogen evolution(η_(10)=35 mV;η_(408)=560 mV)reactions with high normalized electrochemical active surface areas,respectively.Additionally,the alkaline full water splitting electrolyzer of R-CoFe/Ce/NF||R-CoFe/Ce/NF achieves a current density of 50 mA·cm^(−2) only at 1.75 V;the decline of activity is satisfactory after 100-h durability test at 300 mA·cm^(−2).Density functional theory also demonstrates that the electron can transfer from CeO_(2−x) by virtue of O atom to CoFeOOH at CoFeOOH/CeO_(2−x) heterointerfaces and enhancing the adsorption of reactant,thus optimizing electronic structure and Gibbs free energies for the improvement of the activity for water splitting.
