The three-dimensional (3-D) numerical solution of a base flow on a boundary layer is obtained for the localized rough wall with the local- ized ejection, the localized suction and the combination of ejection and suction. Based on numerical simulations, the processes of stable and the most instable nonlinear evolution of the 2-D disturbance T-S wave are studied. The effects of the form on the localized roughness, the intensity, and the distribution structure on the nonlinear evolution of 2-D T-S wave and the growth rate are discussed. Results show that the basic flow induced by the lo- calized rough wall is a key factor causing the fast growth of the disturbance wave. Due to the change of the aver- age flow profile and the existence of the spanwise velocity, the localized rough wall enhances the instability of the flow. Consequently, the instable region of the neutral curve is enlargened, and the maximnum growth rate of the 2-D T-S wave is increased. In the process of the nonlinear evolution of 2-D disturbance T-S wave, with the in- crease of the nonlinear interaction, the most instable 2-D disturbance wave triggers the appearance of the 3-D dis- turbance wave and the high-frequency harmonic wave. Its streamwise wave number and the frequency are the same as those of 2-D disturbance wave. The spanwise velocity can excite the growth of the 2-D disturbance wave, the instability of 2-D wave, the formation of the streamwise vortex, and the generation of 3-D disturbance wave. Simulation results agree well with experimental results.展开更多

The thickness and the optical contrast of the atomic thin dichalcogenide flakes on SiO2/Si substrates were measured by atomic force microscopy(AFM) and spectroscopic ellipsometer. A rapid and nondestructive method by using reflection spectra was proposed to identify the layer number of 2D layered transition metal dichalcogenides on SiO2(275 nm)/Si substrates. The contrast spectra of 2D nanosheets with different layer numbers are in agreement with theoretical calculations based on Fresnel's law, indicating that this method provides an unambiguous and nondestructive contrast spectra fingerprint for identifying single-and few-layered transition metal dichalcogenides. The results will greatly help in fundamental research and application.展开更多

However, the electrical performance is seriously affected by electronic defects existing in Ta2Os. Therefore, spectroscopic ellipsometry is used to calculate the transition energies and corresponding probabilities for two different charged oxygen vacancies, whose existence is revealed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis. Spectroscopic ellipsometry fitting also calculates the thickness of single layer Ta2Os, exhibiting good agreement with atomic force microscopy measurement. Nondestructive and noncontact spectroscopic ellipsometry is appropriate for detecting the electrical defects level of single layer Ta2O5.展开更多

By tuning the twist angle between two layers, one can modulate their electronic band structures and therefore the associated electrical transport and optical properties, which are distinct from the original ones of each individual layer. These new properties excite great passion in the exploration of new quantum states and possible applications of 2D bilayers. In this article, we will mainly review the prevailing fabrication methods and emerging physical properties of twisted bilayer materials and lastly give out a perspective of this topic.展开更多

The Pasternak-type foundation is used to simulate the interaction between the nanoplates and the elastic medium. The exact solutions of the nonlocal vibration frequency and buckling critical load of the 2 D decagonal QC layered nanoplates are obtained by solving the eigensystem and using the propagator matrix method. The present three-dimensional(3 D) exact solution can predict correctly the nature frequencies and critical loads of the nanoplates as compared with previous thin-plate and medium-thick-plate theories.Numerical examples are provided to display the effects of the quasiperiodic direction,length-to-width ratio, thickness of the nanoplates, nonlocal parameter, stacking sequence,and medium elasticity on the vibration frequency and critical buckling load of the 2 D decagonal QC nanoplates. The results show that the effects of the quasiperiodic direction on the vibration frequency and critical buckling load depend on the length-to-width ratio of the nanoplates. The thickness of the nanoplate and the elasticity of the surrounding medium can be adjusted for optimal frequency and critical buckling load of the nanoplate.This feature is useful since the frequency and critical buckling load of the 2 D decagonal QCs as coating materials of plate structures can now be tuned as one desire.展开更多

Ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have extremely large specific surface areas, making them highly desirable electrocatalyst morphologies. Medium-entropy alloys (MEAs) exhibit compositional tunability and entropy-driven structural stability, making them ideal electrocatalyst candidates. In this study, MoCoNi MEA with ultrathin 2D morphology was successfully developed using a facile ionic lay-er epitaxial method. The ultrathin 2D MoCoNi MEA showed an excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalytic performance, with a low overpotential of 167 mV at a current density of 10 mA/cm^(2) and small Tafel slope of 33.2 mV/dec. At the overpotential of 167 mV, the ultrathin 2D MoCoNi MEA exhibited ultrahigh mass activity of 3359.6 A/g, which is three orders of magnitude higher than that of the commercial noble metal oxide RuO_(2) (1.15 A/g). This excellent electrocatalytic performance was attributed to the synergy of multiple active metal-induced medium entropies, as well as the ultrathin thickness, which considerably shortened the charge-transfer dis-tance and thus significantly promoted charge transfer. Owing to the natural entropy-stabilizing effect, the ultrathin 2D MoCoNi MEA maintained 90% of the initial current after a continuous OER electrocatalytic test for 134 h, showing impressive electrocatalytic stability. This study opens new avenues for the development of high-performance and low-cost electrocatalyst materials by creating MEAs with ultrathin 2D morphology.展开更多

文摘Research on two-dimensional(2D)materials is one of the most active fields in materials science and nanotechnology.Among the members of the 2D family,layered hydroxides(LHs)represent an exceptional case of study due to their unparalleled chemical versatility which allows the modulation of their physicochemical properties at will.Nowadays,LHs based on earth-abundant metals are key materials in the areas of energy storage and conversion,hybrid materials or magnetism.α-Co hydroxides(Simonkolleite-like structures)are promising phases with tuneable electronic and magnetic properties by ligand modification.However,even in the simple case ofα-Co^(Ⅱ)hydroxychlorides,the preparation of well-defined large 2D crystals is not straightforward,hindering the development of fundamental studies.Herein,we present the synthesis of 2D hexagonal crystals with outstanding sizethickness relationship(diameter>5μm and thickness of 20±7 nm)by a simple homogeneous synthesis taking place at room temperature.In structural terms,no differences are observed between our layered materials and those obtained hydrothermally.However,dynamic susceptibility measurements alert about different arrangements of the magnetic sublattices,which have been rationalized with structural DFT calculations.This work provides an extremely easy bottom-up method to obtain high-quality 2D crystals based onα-CoIIhydroxides,paving the way for the development of fundamental studies and applications.

文摘MoS2, MoSe2 and WSe2 thin flakes were fabricated by the standard micromechanical cleavage procedures. The thickness and the optical contrast of the atomic thin dichalcogenide flakes on SiO2/Si substrates were measured by atomic force microscopy(AFM) and spectroscopic ellipsometer. A rapid and nondestructive method by using reflection spectra was proposed to identify the layer number of 2D layered transition metal dichalcogenides on SiO2(275 nm)/Si substrates. The contrast spectra of 2D nanosheets with different layer numbers are in agreement with theoretical calculations based on Fresnel's law, indicating that this method provides an unambiguous and nondestructive contrast spectra fingerprint for identifying single-and few-layered transition metal dichalcogenides. The results will greatly help in fundamental research and application.

文摘We report on the formation of two-dimensional monolayer AgTe crystal on Ag(111)substrates.The samples are prepared in ultrahigh vacuum by deposition of Te on Ag(111)followed by annealing.Using a scanning tunneling microscope(STM)and low electron energy diffraction(LEED),we investigate the atomic structure of the samples.The STM images and the LEED pattern show that monolayer AgTe crystal is formed on Ag(111).Four kinds of atomic structures of AgTe and Ag(111)are observed:(i)flat honeycomb structure,(ii)bulked honeycomb,(iii)stripe structure,(iv)hexagonal structure.The structural analysis indicates that the formation of the different atomic structures is due to the lattice mismatch and relief of the intrinsic strain in the AgTe layer.Our results provide a simple and convenient method to produce monolayer AgTe atomic crystal on Ag(111)and a template for study of novel physical properties and for future quantum devices.

文摘Oxygen evolution reaction(OER)is pivotal to drive green hydrogen generation from water electrolysis,but yet is strictly overshadowed by the sluggish reaction kinetics.Earth-abundant and cut-price transitionmetal compounds,particularly Co Fe layered-double-hydroxides(LDHs),show the distinct superiorities in contrast to noble metals and their derivatives.In this review,we firstly underline their fundamental issues in electrocatalytic water oxidation,including Co Fe LDHs crystal structure,the surface of(hydr)oxides confined to OER and the controversial roles of Fe species,aiming at understanding the structure-related activity and catalytic mechanism.Advanced approaches for optimizing OER activity of Co Fe LDHs are then comprehensively overviewed,which will shed light on the different working mechanisms and provide a concise analysis of their unique advantages.Finally,a perspective on the future development of Co Fe LDHs electrocatalysts is offered.We hope this review can give a concise and explicit guidance for the development of transition-metal-based electrocatalysts in the energy field.

文摘The surface transfer doping model has been extensively adopted as a mechanism to account for the generation of hole accumulation layers below hydrogen-terminated diamond(H-diamond)surfaces.To achieve effective surface transfer doping,surface electron acceptor materials with high electron affinity(EA)are required to produce a high density of two-dimensional hole gas(2DHG)on the H-diamond subsurface.We have established ingenious theoretical models to demonstrate that even if these solid materials do not have a high EA value,they remain capable of absorbing electrons from the H-diamond surface by forming a negatively charged interface to act as a surface electron acceptor in the surface transfer doping model.Our calculations,particularly for the local density of states,provide compelling evidence that the effect of an interface with negative charges induces an upward band bending on the H-diamond side.Furthermore,the valence band maximum of the diamond atoms at the interface crosses the Fermi level,giving rise to strong surface transfer p-type doping.These results give a strong theoretical interpretation of the origin of 2DHG on H-diamond surfaces.The proposed guidelines contribute to further improvements in the performance of 2DHG H-diamond field effect transistors.

文摘Two-dimensional atomic-layered material is a recent research focus, and single layer Ta205 used as gate dielectric in field-effect transistors is obtained via assemblies of Ta205 nanosheets. However, the electrical performance is seriously affected by electronic defects existing in Ta2Os. Therefore, spectroscopic ellipsometry is used to calculate the transition energies and corresponding probabilities for two different charged oxygen vacancies, whose existence is revealed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis. Spectroscopic ellipsometry fitting also calculates the thickness of single layer Ta2Os, exhibiting good agreement with atomic force microscopy measurement. Nondestructive and noncontact spectroscopic ellipsometry is appropriate for detecting the electrical defects level of single layer Ta2O5.

文摘Recent studies in van der Waals coupled two-dimensional(2D) bilayer materials have demonstrated a new freedom for material engineering by the formation of moiré pattern. By tuning the twist angle between two layers, one can modulate their electronic band structures and therefore the associated electrical transport and optical properties, which are distinct from the original ones of each individual layer. These new properties excite great passion in the exploration of new quantum states and possible applications of 2D bilayers. In this article, we will mainly review the prevailing fabrication methods and emerging physical properties of twisted bilayer materials and lastly give out a perspective of this topic.

文摘A mathematical model for nonlocal vibration and buckling of embedded two-dimensional(2 D) decagonal quasicrystal(QC) layered nanoplates is proposed. The Pasternak-type foundation is used to simulate the interaction between the nanoplates and the elastic medium. The exact solutions of the nonlocal vibration frequency and buckling critical load of the 2 D decagonal QC layered nanoplates are obtained by solving the eigensystem and using the propagator matrix method. The present three-dimensional(3 D) exact solution can predict correctly the nature frequencies and critical loads of the nanoplates as compared with previous thin-plate and medium-thick-plate theories.Numerical examples are provided to display the effects of the quasiperiodic direction,length-to-width ratio, thickness of the nanoplates, nonlocal parameter, stacking sequence,and medium elasticity on the vibration frequency and critical buckling load of the 2 D decagonal QC nanoplates. The results show that the effects of the quasiperiodic direction on the vibration frequency and critical buckling load depend on the length-to-width ratio of the nanoplates. The thickness of the nanoplate and the elasticity of the surrounding medium can be adjusted for optimal frequency and critical buckling load of the nanoplate.This feature is useful since the frequency and critical buckling load of the 2 D decagonal QCs as coating materials of plate structures can now be tuned as one desire.

文摘Two-dimensional(2D) layered organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites have attracted much more attention for some applications than their three-dimensional(3D) perovskite counterparts due to their promising thermal and moisture stabilities.In particular, the 2D perovskite devices have shown better promise for optoelectronic applications.However, tunability of optoelectronic properties is often demanded to improve the device performance.Herein, we adopt a newly method to tune the electronic properties of 2D perovskite by introducing pseudohalide into the structure.In this work, we designed a pseudohalidesubstituted 2D perovskite by substituting the out-of-plane halide with pseudohalide and studied the electronic and excitonic properties of 2D-BA2MX4 and 2D-BA2MX2Ps2(M=Ge^(2+), Sn^(2+), and Pb^(2+);X=I;Ps=NCO, NCS, OCN, SCN, Se CN).We revealed the dependence of electronic properties including band gaps, composition of band edges, bonding characteristics, work functions, effective masses, and exciton binding energies on different pseudohalides substituted in 2D perovskite.Our results indicate that the substitution of pseudohalide in 2D perovskites is energetically favorable and can significantly affect the bonding characteristics as well as the CBM and VBM that often play major role in determining their performance in optoelectronic devices.It is expected that the pseudohalide substitution will be helpful in developing more advanced optoelectronic device based on 2D perovskite by optimizing band alignment and promoting charge extraction.

文摘In lithium-sulfur batteries(LSBs),the limited utilization of sulfur and the sluggish kinetics of redox reaction significantly hinder their electrochemical performance,especially under high rates and high sulfur loadings.Here,we propose a novel separator structure with an interlayer composed of a vermiculite nanosheet combined with Ketjen Black(VMT@KB)for LSBs,facilitating efficient adsorption and rapid catalytic conversion toward lithium polysulfides(LiPSs).The VMT@KB nanosheets with an electrical double-layer structure and electronic conductivity are obtained through a high-temperature peeling process and Li^(+)exchange treatment in LiCl solution,followed by a mechanical combination process with KB.The results demonstrate that incorporating VMT@KB as an interlayer on a conventional separator enhances the conductivity and limits the LiPSs in the cathode region.The Li-S cell with VMT@KB interlayer shows satisfactory cycle and rate performance,especially in high sulfur loading.It exhibits a remarkable initial discharge capacity of 1225 mAh g^(-1)at 0.5 C and maintains a capacity of 816 mAh g^(-1)after 500 cycles.Besides,the discharge capacity remains 462 mAh g^(-1)even at 6 C.Moreover,the cell with high sulfur loading(8.2 mg cm^(-2))enables stable cycling for 100 cycles at 0.1 C with a discharge capacity of over1000 mAh g^(-1).

文摘The development of highly active, durable, and low-cost electrocatalysts is crucial for electrocatalytic hydrogen production. Ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have extremely large specific surface areas, making them highly desirable electrocatalyst morphologies. Medium-entropy alloys (MEAs) exhibit compositional tunability and entropy-driven structural stability, making them ideal electrocatalyst candidates. In this study, MoCoNi MEA with ultrathin 2D morphology was successfully developed using a facile ionic lay-er epitaxial method. The ultrathin 2D MoCoNi MEA showed an excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalytic performance, with a low overpotential of 167 mV at a current density of 10 mA/cm^(2) and small Tafel slope of 33.2 mV/dec. At the overpotential of 167 mV, the ultrathin 2D MoCoNi MEA exhibited ultrahigh mass activity of 3359.6 A/g, which is three orders of magnitude higher than that of the commercial noble metal oxide RuO_(2) (1.15 A/g). This excellent electrocatalytic performance was attributed to the synergy of multiple active metal-induced medium entropies, as well as the ultrathin thickness, which considerably shortened the charge-transfer dis-tance and thus significantly promoted charge transfer. Owing to the natural entropy-stabilizing effect, the ultrathin 2D MoCoNi MEA maintained 90% of the initial current after a continuous OER electrocatalytic test for 134 h, showing impressive electrocatalytic stability. This study opens new avenues for the development of high-performance and low-cost electrocatalyst materials by creating MEAs with ultrathin 2D morphology.
