Carbon foam is utilized as an anode and further modified by urea to improve its performance in marine benthic microbial fuel cell(BMFC) with higher voltage and output power. The electrochemical properties of plain carbon foam(PC) and urea-modified carbon foam(UC) are measured respectively. Results show that the UC obtains better wettability after its modification and higher anti-polarization ability than the PC. A novel phenomenon has been found that the electrical potential of the modified UC anode is nearly 100 m V lower than that of the PC, reaching-570 ±10 m V(vs. SCE), and that it also has a much higher electron transfer kinetic activity, reaching 9399.4 m W m-2, which is 566.2-fold higher than that from plain graphite anode(PG). The fuel cell containing the UC anode has the maximum power density(256.0 m W m-2) among the three different BMFCs. Urea would enhance the bacteria biofilm formation with a more diverse microbial community and maintain more electrons, leading to a lower anodic redox potential and higher power output. The paper primarily analyzes why the electrical potential of the modified anode becomes much lower than that of others after urea modification. These results can be utilized to construct a novel BMFC with higher output power and to design the conditioner of voltage booster with a higher conversion ratio. Finally, the carbon foam with a bigger pore size would be a potential anodic material in conventional MFC.展开更多

The main idea is to design an output feedback bounded controller and a predictive controller for each subsystem using high-order differential state observers and Lyapunov functions, to derive a suitable switched law to stabilize the closed-loop subsystem, and to provide an explicitly characterized set of initial conditions. For the whole switched system, based on the high-order differentiator, a suitable switched law is designed to ensure the whole closed-loop’s stability.

文摘The performance damage mechanism of InP-based high electron mobility transistors(HEMTs) after proton irradiation has been investigated comprehensively through induced defects.The effects of the defect type, defect energy level with respect to conduction band ET, and defect concentration on the transfer and output characteristics of the device are discussed based on hydrodynamic model and Shockley–Read–Hall recombination model.The results indicate that only acceptorlike defects have a significant influence on device operation.Meanwhile, as defect energy level ETshifts away from conduction band, the drain current decreases gradually and finally reaches a saturation value with ETabove 0.5 eV.This can be attributed to the fact that at sufficient deep level, acceptor-type defects could not be ionized any more.Additionally,the drain current and transconductance degrade more severely with larger acceptor concentration.These changes of the electrical characteristics with proton radiation could be accounted for by the electron density reduction in the channel region from induced acceptor-like defects.
