文摘Converting CO_(2) into methanol(CH_(3)OH),a high-value-added liquid-phase product,through efficient and highly selective photocatalysis remains a significant challenge.Herein,we present a straightforward cation exchange strategy for the in-situ growth of BiVO_(4) on an InVO_(4) substrate to generate a Z-scheme heterojunction of InVO_(4)/BiVO_(4) .This in-situ partial transformation approach endows the InVO_(4)/BiVO_(4) heterojunction with a tightly connected interface,resulting in a significant improvement in charge separation efficiency between InVO_(4) and BiVO_(4).Moreover,the construction of the heterojunction reduces the formation energy barrier of the ^(*)COOH intermediate during the photoreduction of CO_(2) and increases the desorption energy barrier of the ^(*)CO intermediate,facilitating the deep reduction of ^(*)CO.Consequently,the InVO_(4)/BiVO_(4) heterojunction is capable of photocatalytic CO_(2) reduction to CH_(3)OH with high efficiency and selectivity.Under conditions where water serves as the electron source and a light intensity of 100 m W/cm^(2),the yield of CH_(3)OH reaches 130.5 μmol g^(-1)h^(-1) with a selectivity of 92 %,outperforming photocatalysts reported under similar conditions.

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Aqueous zinc-ion batteries(AZIBs) have advantages including low economic cost and high safety.Nevertheless,the serious hydrogen evolution reactions(HER) and rampant growth of Zn dendrite hinder their further development.Herein,potassium acetate(KAc) additive with cation/anion synergy effect is added into the ZnSO_(4) electrolyte to effectively promote the oriented uniform Zn deposition and suppress side reactions.According to density functional theory calculation and experimental results,CH_(3)COO^(-)(Ac^(-))anions are capable of forming stronger hydrogen bonds with H_(2)O molecules,leading to an expanded electrochemical stability window,reduced the reactivity of H_(2)O,and hence suppressing HER.Meanwhile,Ac-anions can also preferentially adsorb onto the Zn anode,promoting dense deposition towards the(100) crystal plane.Besides,dissociated K^(+) ions serve as electrostatic shielding cations,which significantly promote uniform Zn deposition and prevent dendrite formation.Thus,the Zn||Zn symmetric cell demonstrates an impressive cycle lifespan of 3000 h at 1.0 m A/cm^(2).Furthermore,the Zn||MnO_(2) full battery exhibits superior stability with a capacity retention of 86.95 % at 2.0 A/g after 4000 cycles.Therefore,the cation/anion synergy effect in KAc additive offers a viable solution to address HER and hinder dendrite growth at the interface of Zn anodes.

文摘Lime is widely used to modify clayey soils to enhance their physical and chemical properties,and lime-treated soil has become a key material in transportation infrastructure.Chemical reactions were identified through laboratory tests from field samples collected from the subgrade after 30 years of operation to understand its long-term performance evolution.Exchangeable calcium,carbonated calcium,and total calcium were quantified using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid(EDTA)titration,gasometric analysis,and the strong acid extraction method,respectively.These measurements enabled the evaluation of calcium transformation during the pozzolanic reaction,providing a quantitative characterization of pozzolanic progression in the lime-treated clay matrix.Evolutions in pH,electrical conductivity,and salinity were also tracked.Mechanical performance was assessed through maximal shear modulus(Gmax)and unconfined compressive strength(UCS)tests.Then,the microstructure and mineral composition were analyzed via scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and X-ray diffraction(XRD).Furthermore,with an extended curing period,the pH,electrical conductivity,salinity,and exchangeable calcium content were found to decrease gradually.In contrast,the carbonation-related calcium content increased,and the clay mineral structures were significantly altered.The significant increase in Gmax and UCS is attributed to the formation of calcium-aluminate-silicate-hydrate(C-(A)-S-H)for pozzolanic and carbonation reactions where the clay mineral is involved.SEM reveals the curled edges of clay minerals and the formation of a 3D network.Additionally,XRD patterns further confirm the presence of increasing amounts of amorphous phases within the 2θrange of 15°–32°,indicating the progression of the pozzolanic reaction.

文摘Aqueous zincion batteries are highly favored for grid-level energy storage owing to their low cost and high safety,but their practical application is limited by slow ion migration.To address this,a strategy has been developed to create a cation-accelerating electric field on the surface of the cathode to achieve ultrafast Zn^(2+)diffusion kinetics.By employing electrodeposition to coat MoS_(2)on the surface of BaV_(6)O_(16)·3H_(2)O nanowires,the directional builtin electric field generated at the heterointerface acts as a cation accelerator,continuously accelerating Zn^(2+)diffusion into the active material.The optimized Zn^(2+)diffusion coefficient in CC@BaV-V_(6)O_(16)·3H_(2)@MoS_(2)(7.5×10^(8)cm^(2)s^(-1)) surpasses that of most reported V-based cathodes.Simultaneously,MoS_(2)serving as a cathodic armor extends the cycling life of the Zn-CC@BaV_(6)O_(16)·3H_(2)@MoS_(2)full batteries to over 10000 cycles.This work provides valuable insights into optimizing ion diffusion kinetics for high-performance energy storage devices.

文摘Symmetric secondary batteries are expected to become promising storage devices on account of their low cost,environmentally friendly and high safety.Nevertheless,the further development of symmetric batteries needs to rely on bipolar electrodes with superior performance.Cation-disordered rocksalt(DRX)Li_(2)FeTiO_(4)shows promising properties as symmetric electrodes,based on the ability of iron to undergo multiple electrochemical reactions over a wide voltage window.Unfortunately,this cation-disordered structure would not provide a cross-path for the rapid migration of Li^(+),ultimately resulting in inferior electrochemical dynamics and cycle stability.Herein,Li_(2)FeTiO_(4)nanoparticles assembled by ultrafine nanocrystals are synthesized via a sol-gel method through an orderly reaction regulation strategy of precursor reactants.Such ultrafine nanocrystals increase the active sites to promote the reversibility of multi-cationic(e.g.,stable Fe^(2+)/Fe^(3+),Ti^(3+)/Ti^(4+)and moderated Fe^(3+)/Fe^(4+))and anionic redox,and maintain the DRX structure well during the cycling process.The half cells with nano-sized Li_(2)FeTiO_(4)as the cathode/anode exhibit a high reversible capacity of 127.8/500.8 mAh/g,respectively.Besides,the Li_(2)FeTiO_(4)//Li_(2)FeTiO_(4)symmetric full cell could provide a reversible capacity of 95.4 mAh/g at 0.1 A/g after 200 cycles.This hierarchical self-assembly by nanocrystal strategy could offer effective guidance for high-performance electrode design for rechargeable secondary batteries.

文摘Modal parameters can accurately characterize the structural dynamic properties and assess the physical state of the structure.Therefore,it is particularly significant to identify the structural modal parameters according to the monitoring data information in the structural health monitoring(SHM)system,so as to provide a scientific basis for structural damage identification and dynamic model modification.In view of this,this paper reviews methods for identifying structural modal parameters under environmental excitation and briefly describes how to identify structural damages based on the derived modal parameters.The paper primarily introduces data-driven modal parameter recognition methods(e.g.,time-domain,frequency-domain,and time-frequency-domain methods,etc.),briefly describes damage identification methods based on the variations of modal parameters(e.g.,natural frequency,modal shapes,and curvature modal shapes,etc.)and modal validation methods(e.g.,Stability Diagram and Modal Assurance Criterion,etc.).The current status of the application of artificial intelligence(AI)methods in the direction of modal parameter recognition and damage identification is further discussed.Based on the pre-vious analysis,the main development trends of structural modal parameter recognition and damage identification methods are given to provide scientific references for the optimized design and functional upgrading of SHM systems.

文摘Although the Mg-air battery with high theoretical energy density is desirable for the energy supply of marine engineering equipment,its applications remain limited due to the low actual discharge voltage and inferior Mg anode utilization rate.In addition to the microstructure of Mg alloy anodes,the properties of discharge product films are of great importance to the discharge performance.Herein,the discharge behaviors of Mg-Y-Zn alloys are first studied mainly from the perspective of film properties.Through contrastive analysis,it is found that the sufficient Y^(3+) produced during the discharge process can substitute Mg^(2+) in Mg(OH)_(2) to introduce effective cation vacancies.The Mg-Y-Zn anode with profuse cation vacancies in the product film shows a synergy of potential and efficiency,and this can be attributed to an increase in the migration pathway for Mg^(2+),reducing the diffusion over-potential caused by the protective product film.This study is expected to provide a new strategy from the perspective of cation vacancy design of discharge film for developing high-performance Mg-air batteries.

文摘The development of flexible zinc-ion batteries(ZIBs)faces a threeway trade-off among the ionic conductivity,Zn^(2+)mobility,and the electrochemical stability of hydrogel electrolytes.To address this challenge,we designed a cationic hydrogel named PAPTMA to holistically improve the reversibility of ZIBs.The long cationic branch chains in the polymeric matrix construct express pathways for rapid Zn^(2+)transport through an ionic repulsion mechanism,achieving simultaneously high Zn^(2+)transference number(0.79)and high ionic conductivity(28.7 mS cm−1).Additionally,the reactivity of water in the PAPTMA hydrogels is significantly inhibited,thus possessing a strong resistance to parasitic reactions.Mechanical characterization further reveals the superior tensile and adhesion strength of PAPTMA.Leveraging these properties,symmetric batteries employing PAPTMA hydrogel deliver exceeding 6000 h of reversible cycling at 1 mA cm^(−2) and maintain stable operation for 1000 h with a discharge of depth of 71%.When applied in 4×4 cm2 pouch cells with MnO_(2) as the cathode material,the device demonstrates remarkable operational stability and mechanical robustness through 150 cycles.This work presents an eclectic strategy for designing advanced hydrogels that combine high ionic conductivity,enhanced Zn^(2+)mobility,and strong resistance to parasitic reactions,paving the way for long-lasting flexible ZIBs.

文摘Dendrite growth represents one of the most significant challenges that impede the development of aqueous zinc-ion batteries.Herein,Gd^(3+)ions are introduced into conventional electrolytes as a microlevelling agent to achieve dendrite-free zinc electrodeposition.Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that these Gd^(3+)ions are preferentially adsorbed onto the zinc surface,which enables dendritefree zinc anodes by activating the microlevelling effect during electrodeposition.In addition,the Gd^(3+)additives effectively inhibit side reactions and facilitate the desolvation of[Zn(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(2+),leading to highly reversible zinc plating/stripping.Due to these improvements,the zinc anode demonstrates a significantly prolonged cycle life of 2100 h and achieves an exceptional average Coulombic efficiency of 99.72%over 1400 cycles.More importantly,the Zn//NH_(4)V_(4)O_(10)full cell shows a high capacity retention rate of 85.6%after 1000 cycles.This work not only broadens the application of metallic cations in battery electrolytes but also provides fundamental insights into their working mechanisms.

文摘Cation segregation on cathode surfaces plays a key role in determining the activity and operational stability of solid oxide fuel cells(SOFCs).The double perovskite oxide PrBa_(0.8)Ca_(0.2)Co_(2)O_(5+δ)(PBCC)has been widely studied as an active cathode but still suffer from serious detrimental segregations.To enhance the cathode stability,a PBCC derived A-site medium-entropy Pr_(0.6)La_(0.1)Nd_(0.1)Sm_(0.1)Gd_(0.1)Ba_(0.8)Ca_(0.2)Co_(2)O_(5+δ)(ME-PBCC)oxide was prepared and its segregation behaviors were investigated under different conditions.Compared with initial PBCC oxide,the segregations of BaO and Co_(3)O_(4)on the surface of ME-PBCC material are significantly suppressed,especially for Co_(3)O_(4),which is attributed to its higher configuration entropy.Our results also confirm the improved electrochemical performance and structural stability of ME-PBCC material,enabling it as a promising cathode for SOFCs.
文摘Oxygen evolution reaction(OER)is often regarded as a crucial bottleneck in the field of renewable energy storage and conversion.To further accelerate the sluggish kinetics of OER,a cation and anion modulation strategy is reported here,which has been proven to be effective in preparing highly active electrocatalyst.For example,the cobalt,sulfur,and phosphorus modulated nickel hydroxide(denoted as NiCoPSOH)only needs an overpotential of 232 mV to reach a current density of 20 mA cm^(–2),demonstrating excellent OER performances.The cation and anion modulation facilitates the generation of high-valent Ni species,which would activate the lattice oxygen and switch the OER reaction pathway from conventional adsorbate evolution mechanism to lattice oxygen mechanism(LOM),as evidenced by the results of electrochemical measurements,Raman spectroscopy and differential electrochemical mass spectrometry.The LOM pathway of NiCoPSOH is further verified by the theoretical calculations,including the upshift of O 2p band center,the weakened Ni–O bond and the lowest energy barrier of rate-limiting step.Thus,the anion and cation modulated catalyst NiCoPSOH could effectively accelerate the sluggish OER kinetics.Our work provides a new insight into the cation and anion modulation,and broadens the possibility for the rational design of highly active electrocatalysts.

文摘The increasing risk of ground pressure disasters resulting from deep well mining highlights the urgent need for advanced monitoring and early warning systems.Ground pressure monitoring,supported by microseismic technology,plays a pivotal role in ensuring mine safety by enabling real-time identifi cation and accurate classification of vibration signals such as microseismic signals,blasting signals,and noise.These classifications are critical for improving the efficacy of ground pressure monitoring systems,conducting stability analyses of deep rock masses,and implementing timely and precise roadway support measures.Such eff orts are essential for mitigating ground pressure disasters and ensuring safe mining operations.This study proposes an artificial intelligence-based automatic classification network model for mine vibration signals.Based on conventional convolutional neural networks,the proposed model further incorporates long short-term memory(LSTM)networks and attention mechanisms.The LSTM component eff ectively captures temporal correlations in time-series mining vibration data,while the attention mechanism enhances the models’ability to focus on critical features within the data.To validate the eff ectiveness of our proposed model,a dataset comprising 480,526 waveform records collected in 2022 by the microseismic monitoring system at Guangxi Shanhu Tungsten Mine was used for training,validation,and testing purposes.Results demonstrate that the proposed artifi cial intelligence-based classifi cation method achieves a higher recognition accuracy of 92.21%,significantly outperforming traditional manual classification methods.The proposed model represents a signifi cant advancement in ground pressure monitoring and disaster mitigation.
