The XRD patterns, photoluminescence spectra and SEM were recorded and the effects ofTb^3＋and Ce^3＋ concentration, sintering condition on the luminescent properties of as-synthesized phosphors were investigated. The emission spectra under ultraviolet （200-300 nm） radiation showed a dominant peak at 543 nm attributed to the ^5D4→^7F5 transition of Tb^3＋, which was greatly enhanced by the co-doping of Ce^3＋, indicating that there occurred an efficient non-radiative energy transfer from Ce^3＋ to Th^3＋. The optimal doping concentrations of Tb^3＋ and Ce^3＋ were determined to be 9% and 10%, respectively.展开更多

In this study, it was found that there was a reduction in photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (PSII) in 6 native orchid species under high light (HL) and Bulbophyllum membranaceum under low light (LL). There was chronic photoinhibition in these 6 orchid species over a period of 3 months after transplanting onto the tree trunks without watering and fertilization, especially in Coelogynes mayeriana and Bulbophyllum membranaceum under both HL and LL. This chronic photoinhibition caused by sustained period of water deficit in their natural conditions was later reversed by natural re-watering conditions from higher rainfall. These results indicate that water deficit has a greater impact on photosynthetic light utilization efficiency than excess light. The present study also showed that after natural rewatering, relative water content (RWC) of leaves and pseudobulbs generally increased. During the natural re-watering, total leaf area also gradually increased and reached maximum expansion after 7 weeks under both HL and LL, with some exceptions due to leaf abscission or decline in total leaf area, possibly a strategy for water conservation.展开更多

The a-Fe_(2)O_(3) nanorod arrays (NAs) were directly grown on carbon cloth (CC) with specific (104) facet exposure. The highly exposed (104) facets provide abundant unsaturated Fe atoms with dangling bonds as nitrogen reduction reaction catalytically active sites. In addition, the NAs architecture enables the enhanced electrochemical surface area (ECSA) to fully manifest the active sites and maintain the mass diffusion. Thus, the selectively exposed (104) facets coupled with the high ECSA of NAs architecture achieve a high FE of 14.89% and a high yield rate of 17.28 μg h^(-1) cm^(-2). This work presents an effective strategy to develop highly efficient catalytic electrodes for electrochemical NRR via facet regulation and nanoarray architecture.展开更多

文摘The lead-free perovskite solar cells(PSCs) have drawn a great deal of research interest due to the Pb toxicity of the lead halide perovskite.CHNHSnIis a viable alternative to CHNHPbX,because it has a narrower band gap of 1.3 eV and a wider visible absorption spectrum than the lead halide perovskite.The progress of fabricating tin iodide PSCs with good stability has stimulated the studies of these CHNHSnIbased cells greatly.In the paper,we study the influences of various parameters on the solar cell performance through theoretical analysis and device simulation.It is found in the simulation that the solar cell performance can be improved to some extent by adjusting the doping concentration of the perovskite absorption layer and the electron affinity of the buffer and HTM,while the reduction of the defect density of the perovskite absorption layer significantly improves the cell performance.By further optimizing the parameters of the doping concentration(1.3 × 10cm~3) and the defect density(1 × 10cm~3) of perovskite absorption layer,and the electron affinity of buffer(4.0 eV) and HTM(2.6 eV),we finally obtain some encouraging results of the Jof 31.59 mA/cm~2,Vof 0.92 V,FF of 79.99%,and PCE of 23.36%.The results show that the lead-free CHNHSnIPSC is a potential environmentally friendly solar cell with high efficiency.Improving the Snstability and reducing the defect density of CHNHSnIare key issues for the future research,which can be solved by improving the fabrication and encapsulation process of the cell.

文摘Tb^3＋ and Ce^3＋ co-activated LiZnPO4 phosphors with high luminescence efficiency were synthesized by a high temperature solid-state reaction at 1000 ℃ for 3 h. The XRD patterns, photoluminescence spectra and SEM were recorded and the effects ofTb^3＋and Ce^3＋ concentration, sintering condition on the luminescent properties of as-synthesized phosphors were investigated. The emission spectra under ultraviolet （200-300 nm） radiation showed a dominant peak at 543 nm attributed to the ^5D4→^7F5 transition of Tb^3＋, which was greatly enhanced by the co-doping of Ce^3＋, indicating that there occurred an efficient non-radiative energy transfer from Ce^3＋ to Th^3＋. The optimal doping concentrations of Tb^3＋ and Ce^3＋ were determined to be 9% and 10%, respectively.

文摘A novel nanocomposite of Ni nanoparticles loaded on Mg-doped Al_(2)O_(3)(Ni/Mg-Al_(2)O_(3))was prepared.By photothermocatalytic CO_(2) reduction with methane(CRM)merely using focused UV-vis-IR illumination on Ni/Mg-Al_(2)O_(3),high production rates of H_(2)(r_(H2),69.71 mmol min^(−1) g^(−1))and CO(rCO,74.57 mmol min^(−1) g^(−1))and an extremely large light-to-fuel efficiency(η,32.9%)are acquired.High rH2 and rCO(51.07 and 59.66 mmol min^(−1) g^(−1))and a largeη(32.5%)are acquired even by using focusedλ>560 nm vis-IR illumination.Ni/Mg-Al_(2)O_(3) shows good durability for photothermocatalytic CRM due to the side reaction of carbon deposition being enormously inhibited in comparison with a reference catalyst of Ni nanoparticles loaded on Al_(2)O_(3).The enormous carbon deposition inhibition is ascribed to the presence of a fence of CO_(2) molecules(strongly adsorbed on Mg-doped Al_(2)O_(3))around Ni nanoparticles,which block the polymerization and growth of carbon species to nanofibers by promoting the oxidation of carbon species formed by CH_(4) dissociation.The high photothermocatalytic activity of Ni/Mg-Al_(2)O_(3) arises from efficient light-driven thermocatalytic CRM.A photoactivation is found to considerably raise the photothermocatalytic activity of Ni/Mg-Al_(2)O_(3) because of the apparent activation energy(Ea)being substantially decreased upon focused illumination.The Ea reduction is associated with the rate-determining steps of CRM(e.g.,CH_(4) dissociation and the oxidation of carbon species)being accelerated upon focused illumination.

文摘The average photoelectric conversion efficiency(PCE)of a bare mono crystalline silicon solar cell is 14.71%±0.03%under AM1.5.It decreases to 14.20%±0.005%when covering an un-doped flat glass on the solar cell,and it goes down to 14.10%±0.005%by using a 5 wt%Eu^3+doped glass.The absorptions of the Eu^3+doped CPM glass one-to-one match the excitation spectra at 362,381,393,400,413 and464 nm,which are related to the transitions of 7 F0→(5 D4,5 G2,5 L6,5 D3),7 F1→5 D3,and 7 F0→5 D2,respectively.In addition,a concave pyramid microstructure(CPM)is embedded in the glass surface to increase light transmittance.The average PCE increases to 14.61%±0.07%when a 5 wt%Eu^3+doped CPM glass covers on the silicon solar cell.Compared with the un-doped flat glass,a net increase of the PCE is0.41%,where the 0.16%increment of PCE is from the lighting trapping of the CPM structure,and the downshifting of near ultraviolet(NUV)light by Eu^3+ion donates the other 0.25%increment.It confirms that the as-prepared Eu^3+doped CPM glass has a good downshifting and antireflection function.

文摘The replacement of small cations with bulkier organic cations containing long alkyl chains or benzene rings to form a thin two-dimensional(2D)perovskite passivation layer on three-dimensional(3D)perovskite(2D/3D)has become a promising strategy for improving both the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells(PSCs).The 2 D layer defines the interfacial chemistry and physics at the 2D/3D bilayer and endows the 2D/3D structure with better chemical and thermal stability.Herein,2D/3D(CF_(3)-PEA)_(2) FA_(0.85)MA_(0.15)Pb_(2)I_(7)/FA_(0.85)MA_(0.15)PbI_(3) planar heterojunction perovskite was produced using a facile interfacial ion exchange process.The 2 D(CF_(3)-PEA)_(2) FA_(0.85)MA_(0.15)Pb_(2)I_(7) capping layer can not only passivate the FA_(0.85)MA_(0.15)PbI_(3) film but also act as super-hydrophobic layer to inhibit water diffusion and significantly enhance the stability.The 2D capping layer can also establish a unique graded band structure at the perovskite/Spiro-OMeTAD interface and lead to p-type doping for Spiro-OMeTAD layer which is beneficial for efficient charge transport.Optimized PSCs based on this 2D/3D heterojunction yield a champion power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 23.1%and improved stability.The device maintains 84%output for 2400 h aging under ambient environmental conditions without encapsulation,and maintains 81%for 200 h under illumination with encapsulation.This work will inspire the design of more fluorinated 2D perovskite interfaces for advanced photovoltaics and beyond.

文摘The major enrichment type of shale oil in the Chang 7_(3) shale of Upper Triassic Yanchang Formation in the Ordos Basin is unknown.This paper analyzes the organic matter transformation ratio,hydrocarbon expulsion efficiency and roof/floor sealing conditions of the Chang 7_(3) shale,and evaluates the major enrichment type of shale oil in this interval.The average organic matter transformation ratio of the Chang 7_(3) shale is about 45%;in other words,more than 50%of the organic matters have not transformed to hydrocarbons,and the lower the maturity,the greater the proportion of untransformed organic matters.The cumulative hydrocarbon expulsion efficiency of the transformed hydrocarbon is 27.5% on average,and the total proportion of untransformed organic matters plus retained hydrocarbons is greater than 70%.The relative hydrocarbon expulsion efficiency of the Chang 7_(3) shale is 60%on average,that is,about 40% of hydrocarbons retain in the shale.The Chang 7_(3) shale corresponds to Chang 7_(1+2) and Chang 8 sandstones as the roof and floor,respectively,and is further overlaid by Chang 6 shale,where extensive low porosity and low permeability–tight oil reservoirs have formed in the parts with relatively good porosity and permeability.Moreover,the Chang 7_(3) shale is tested to be in a negative pressure system(the pressure coefficient of 0.80–0.85).Therefore,the roof/floor sealing conditions of the Chang 7_(3) shale are poor.The retained hydrocarbons appear mostly in absorbed status,with low mobility.It is concluded that the medium–high mature shale oil is not the major enrichment type of shale oil in the Chang 7_(3) shale,but there may be enrichment opportunity for shale oil with good mobility in the areas where the sealing conditions are good without faults and fractures and oil reservoirs are formed off Chang 7_(1+2),Chang 6 and Chang 8.Furthermore,low–medium mature shale oil is believed to have great potential and is the major enrichment type of shale oil in the Chang 7_(3) shale.It is recommended to prepare relevant in-situ conversion technologies by pilot test and figure out the resource availability and distribution.
文摘Native orchid species of Singapore in their natural conditions experience stress from high irradiance, high temperatures and periods of extended low rainfall, which impact orchid plant physiology and lead to reduced growth and productivity. In this study, it was found that there was a reduction in photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (PSII) in 6 native orchid species under high light (HL) and Bulbophyllum membranaceum under low light (LL). There was chronic photoinhibition in these 6 orchid species over a period of 3 months after transplanting onto the tree trunks without watering and fertilization, especially in Coelogynes mayeriana and Bulbophyllum membranaceum under both HL and LL. This chronic photoinhibition caused by sustained period of water deficit in their natural conditions was later reversed by natural re-watering conditions from higher rainfall. These results indicate that water deficit has a greater impact on photosynthetic light utilization efficiency than excess light. The present study also showed that after natural rewatering, relative water content (RWC) of leaves and pseudobulbs generally increased. During the natural re-watering, total leaf area also gradually increased and reached maximum expansion after 7 weeks under both HL and LL, with some exceptions due to leaf abscission or decline in total leaf area, possibly a strategy for water conservation.

文摘Contact detection is the most time-consuming stage in 3D discontinuous deformation analysis(3D-DDA)computation.Improving the efficiency of 3D-DDA is beneficial for its application in large-scale computing.In this study,aiming at the continuous-discontinuous simulation of 3D-DDA,a highly efficient contact detection strategy is proposed.Firstly,the global direct search(GDS)method is integrated into the 3D-DDA framework to address intricate contact scenarios.Subsequently,all geometric elements,including blocks,faces,edges,and vertices are divided into searchable and unsearchable parts.Contacts between unsearchable geometric elements would be directly inherited,while only searchable geometric elements are involved in contact detection.This strategy significantly reduces the number of geometric elements involved in contact detection,thereby markedly enhancing the computation efficiency.Several examples are adopted to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the improved 3D-DDA method.The rock pillars with different mesh sizes are simulated under self-weight.The deformation and stress are consistent with the analytical results,and the smaller the mesh size,the higher the accuracy.The maximum speedup ratio is 38.46 for this case.Furthermore,the Brazilian splitting test on the discs with different flaws is conducted.The results show that the failure pattern of the samples is consistent with the results obtained by other methods and experiments,and the maximum speedup ratio is 266.73.Finally,a large-scale impact test is performed,and approximately 3.2 times enhanced efficiency is obtained.The proposed contact detection strategy significantly improves efficiency when the rock has not completely failed,which is more suitable for continuous-discontinuous simulation.

文摘Photoheranostics have emerged as a promising tool for cancer theranostics owing to their real-time feedback on treatment and their precise diagnosis.Among them,how to improve the photothermal conversion efficiency(PCE)of phototheranostic agents(PTAs)is the key factor for phototheranostic systems.Herein,we provided an efficient method to improve PCE and constructed a biocompatible nano-material ICR-Qu@NH_(2)-Fe_(3)O_(4)@PEG(QNFP)by combing near-infrared second region(NIR-Ⅱ)molecular dye ICR-Qu and amino-modified magnetic nanoparticles and then encapsulated by DSPE-m PEG2000.QNFP exhibited excellent performance for photothermal therapy with a high PCE of 95.6%.Both in vitro and in vivo experiments indicated that QNFP could inhibit the growth of tumors under laser irradiation with low toxicity and realized real-time NIR-Ⅱfiuorescent imaging of tumors.In general,we realized a simple but efficient method to improve the PCE of NIR-Ⅱmolecular dye without reduce its quantum yield,which is an ideal choice for cancer diagnosis and treatment.

文摘In practical lithium-sulfur batteries(LSBs),the shuttle effect and Li cycling coulombic efficiency(CE) are strongly affected by the physicochemical properties of solid electrolyte interphase(SEI).LiNO_(3) is widely used as an additive in electrolytes to build a high-quality SEI,but its self-sacrificial nature limits the ability to mitigate the shuttle effect and stabilize Li anode during long-term cycling.To counteract LiNO_(3) consumption during long-term cycling without using a high initial concentration,inspired by sustainedrelease drugs,we encapsulated LiNO_(3) in lithiated Nafion polymer and added an electrolyte co-solvent(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethylene 2,2,2-trifluoromethyl ether) with poor LiNO_(3) solubility to construct highquality and durable F-and N-rich SEI.Theoretical calculations,experiments,multiphysics simulations,and in-situ observations confirmed that the F-and N-rich SEI can modulate lithium deposition behavior and allow persistent repair of SEI during prolonged cycling.Hence,the F-and N-rich SEI improves the Li anode cycling CE to 99.63% and alleviates the shuttle effect during long-term cycling.The lithium anode with sustainable F-and N-rich SEI shows a stable Li plating/stripping over 2000 h at 1 mA cm^(-2).As expected,Li‖S full cells with this SEI achieved a long lifespan of 250 cycles,far exceeding cells with a routine SEI.The Li‖S pouch cell based on F-and N-rich SEI also can achieve a high energy density of about300 Wh kg^(-1) at initial cycles.This strategy provides a novel design for high-quality and durable SEls in LSBs and may also be extendable to other alkali metal batteries.

文摘Solid-state lighting is now developing toward high-power and super-brightness,but is largely limited by the lack of highly robust and efficient color conversion materials that can be survived from high-power or high-power density excitation,typically the red-emitting ones.In this work,we fabricated highly effi-cient and pore-free Sr_(0.5)Ca_(0.5)AlSiN_(3)∶Eu^(2+)(SCASN)red-emitting ceramics by spark plasma sintering of fine phosphor powders.These fine phosphor powders were prepared by treating the commercial phosphors with high-energy ball-milling,centrifugation and acid washing,leading to a particle size of 2.55μm and an internal quantum efficiency as high as 74.0%under 450 nm excitation.The phosphor powders can be densified into SCASN ceramics without using sintering additives at a temperature as low as 1475℃,and the ceramics show an internal quantum efficiency of 75.3%,which is 50%higher than those ceram-ics fabricated with untreated commercial powders.When excited by a high-power blue LED at a current density of 4 A/mm^(2),the SCASN ceramics have a maximum luminous flux of 660 lm(i.e.,26 Mcd/m^(2)).The phosphor ceramics can also withstand a high laser power density of 15.7 W/mm^(2),and exhibit an output luminance of 188 Mcd/m^(2).This work provides a general method to prepare fine phosphor powders that enable to fabricate high efficiency phosphor ceramics used in high-power solid-state lighting.

文摘We propose a facile facet regulation enabled by nanoarray architecture to achieve a high faradic efficiency of Fe_(2)O_(3) catalyst for NRR. The a-Fe_(2)O_(3) nanorod arrays (NAs) were directly grown on carbon cloth (CC) with specific (104) facet exposure. The highly exposed (104) facets provide abundant unsaturated Fe atoms with dangling bonds as nitrogen reduction reaction catalytically active sites. In addition, the NAs architecture enables the enhanced electrochemical surface area (ECSA) to fully manifest the active sites and maintain the mass diffusion. Thus, the selectively exposed (104) facets coupled with the high ECSA of NAs architecture achieve a high FE of 14.89% and a high yield rate of 17.28 μg h^(-1) cm^(-2). This work presents an effective strategy to develop highly efficient catalytic electrodes for electrochemical NRR via facet regulation and nanoarray architecture.

文摘A nontoxic and biocompatible thermoseed is developed for the magnetic hyperthermia.Two kinds of thermoseed materials:hierarchical hollow and solid lichee-like Fe_(3)O_(4) assemblies,are synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method.The crystal structure of Fe_(3)O_(4) assemblies are characterized by x-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy,and transmission electron microscopy.Moreover,the prepared Fe_(3)O_(4) assemblies are used as a magnetic heat treatment agent,and their heating efficiency is investigated.Compared to solid assembly,hollow lichee-like Fe_(3)O_(4) assembly exhibits a higher specific absorption rate of 116.53 W/g and a shorter heating time,which is ascribed to its higher saturation magnetization,larger initial particle size,and the unique hierarchical hollow structure.Furthermore,the magnetothermal effect is primarily attributed to Neel relaxation.Overall,we propose a facile and convenient approach to enhance the heating efficiency of magnetic nanoparticles by forming hollow hierarchical assemblies.

文摘Mg_(3)Sb_(2)-based thermoelectric materials have been the focus of widespread investigations as promising candidates for the harvesting of waste heat.Interface stability and service performance are key points for the commercial applications of these materials.We utilized Mg_(4.3)Sb_(3)Ni as a barrier layer to improve the thermal stability of Mg 3 Sb 2-based devices.However,its intrinsic high resistivity contributed nega-tively to the desired performance of the device.In this work,we investigated two other Mg-Sb-Ni ternary phases,MgSbNi and MgSbNi_(2),as new barrier layer materials to connect with Mg_(3.2)Sb_(2)Y_(0.05).The results show that the efficiency of the Mg_(1.2)SbNi/Mg_(3.2)Sb_(2)Y_(0.05)/Mg_(1.2)SbNi joint is increased by 33%relative to the higher Mg-content barriers due to lower resistivity.The system exhibited good interfacial compatibility and showed little change with aging at 673 K for 20 days.
