Through isotopic analysis(δ^(13)C_(DIC), δD and δ^(18)O) and hydrochemical measurements [salinity and dissolved oxygen(DO)] of surface and bottom seawater samples from 52 stations, we demonstrate that δ^(13)C_(DIC) values(surface:-3.6‰ to-2.1‰;bottom:-3.6‰ to-1.8‰) exhibit distinct vertical and spatial patterns, with higher values in surface waters and outer bay regions compared to bottom and inner bay areas. Conservative mixing between seawater(average contribution:56%) and freshwater dominates DIC dynamics, while tidal hydrodynamics amplify the imprint of riverine inputs during low tides. Nutrient gradients driven by saline-freshwater mixing enhance primary productivity in outer bay regions,resulting in 13C-enriched DIC and elevated dissolved organic carbon(DOC) concentrations. Conversely, bottom waters show 13C-depleted signatures(-2.75‰ mean δ^(13)C_(DIC)), reflecting organic matter degradation under oxygen-depleted conditions. Aquaculture activities exacerbate localized eutrophication, with monsoon-enhanced runoff amplifying anthropogenic impacts. This work underscores the sensitivity of coastal carbon cycling to both natural hydrodynamics and anthropogenic perturbations in semi-enclosed bays.展开更多

文摘Traditional p-type colloidal quantum dot(CQD)hole transport layers(HTLs)used in CQD solar cells(CQDSCs)are commonly based on organic ligands exchange and the layer-by-layer(LbL)technique.Nonetheless,the ligand detachment and complex fabrication process introduce surface defects,compromising device stability and efficiency.In this work,we propose a solution-phase ligand exchange(SPLE)method utilizing inorganic ligands to develop stable p-type lead sulfide(PbS)CQD inks for the first time.Various amounts of tin(Ⅱ)iodide(SnI_(2))were mixed with lead halide(PbX_(2);X=I,Br)in the ligand solution.By precisely controlling the SnI_(2)concentration,we regulate the transition of PbS QDs from n-type to p-type.PbS CQDSCs were fabricated using two different HTL approaches:one with 1,2-ethanedithiol(EDT)-passivated QDs via the LbL method(control)and another with inorganic ligand-passivated QD ink(target).The target devices achieved a higher power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 10.93%,compared to 9.83%for the control devices.This improvement is attributed to reduced interfacial defects and enhanced carrier mobility.The proposed technique offers an efficient pathway for producing stable p-type PbS CQD inks using inorganic ligands,paving the way for high-performance and flexible CQD-based optoelectronic devices.
文摘Solar-driven Fenton-like reactions are promising strategies for degrading pharmaceutical wastewater to address environmental challenges and antibiotic pollution.However,its efficacy is limited by suboptimal light absorption efficiency,rapid charge recombination,and inadequate interfacial charge transfer.In this study,an inorganic/organic S-scheme photo-Fenton system of pseudobrookite/carbon nitride(FTOCN)was synthesized via a hydrothermally coupled calcination process for the effective purification of tetracycline antibiotics under visible-light irradiation.The optimized FTOCN-2 heterostructure exhibits a significantly enhanced TC degradation capacity of 90%within 60 min.The rate constant of FTOCN-2 is 1.6 and 5.2 times greater than those of FTO and CN,respectively.Furthermore,FTOCN exhibits high antibacterial efficacy,highlighting its potential application in the purification of natural water.Measurements via a range of analytical techniques,including Kelvin probe force microscopy,density functional theory calculations,in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,and femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy,corroborate the S-scheme mechanism.This study provides a novel perspective for the development of photo-Fenton systems with S-scheme heterojunctions for water purification.

文摘The practical application of aqueous zinc-ion batteries(AZIBs)is primarily constrained by issues such as corrosion,zinc dendrite formation,and the hydrogen evolution reaction occurring at the zinc metal anode.To overcome these challenges,strategies for optimizing the electrolyte are crucial for enhancing the stability of the zinc anode.Inspired by the role of hemoglobin in blood cells,which facilitates oxygen transport during human respiration,an innovative inorganic colloidal electrolyte has been developed:calcium silicate-ZnSO_(4)(denoted as CS-ZSO).This electrolyte operates in weak acidic environment and releases calcium ions,which participate in homotopic substitution with zinc ions,while the solvation environment of hydrated zinc ions in the electrolyte is regulated.The reduced energy barrier for the transfer of zinc ions and the energy barrier for the desolvation of hydrated ions imply faster ion transfer kinetics and accelerated desolvation processes,thus favoring the mass transfer process.Furthermore,the silicate colloidal particles act as lubricants,improving the transfer of zinc ions.Together,these factors contribute to the more uniform concentration of zinc ions at the electrode/electrolyte interface,effectively inhibiting zinc dendrite formation and reducing by-product accumulation.The Zn//CS-ZSO//Zn symmetric cell demonstrates stable operation for over 5000 h at 1 mA cm^(-2),representing 29-fold improvement compared to the Zn//ZSO//Zn symmetric cell,which lasts only 170 h.Additionally,the Zn//CS-ZSO//Cu asymmetric cell shows stable average Coulombic efficiency(CE)exceeding 99.6%over2400 cycles,significantly surpassing the performance of the ZSO electrolyte.This modification strategy for electrolytes not only addresses key limitations associated with zinc anodes but also provides valuable insights into stabilizing anodes for the advancement of high-performance aqueous zinc-ion energy storage systems.

文摘Inorganic CsPbI_(3)perovskite with superior thermal stability and photoelectric properties has developed into a promising candidate for photovoltaic applications.Nevertheless,the power conversion efficiency(PCE)of CsPbI_(3)perovskite solar cells(PSCs)still lags far behind that of both organic-inorganic hybrid counterparts and the theoretical PCE limit,primarily restricted by severe fill factor(FF)and opencircuit voltage(VOC)deficits.Herein,an in-situ self-crosslinking strategy is proposed to construct high-performance inverted inorganic PSCs by incorporating acrylate monomers as additives into CsPbI_(3)perovskite precursors.During the thermal annealing process of perovskite films,acrylate monomers can form network structures by breaking the C=C groups through an in-situ polymerization reaction,mainly anchored at the grain boundaries(GBs)and on the surfaces of perovskite.Meanwhile,the C=O groups of acrylate polymers can favorably coordinate with uncoordinated Pb^(2+),thereby decreasing defect density and stabilizing the perovskite phase.Particularly,with multiple crosslinking and passivation sites,the incorporation of dipentaerythritol pentaacrylate(DPHA)can effectively improve the perovskite film quality,suppress nonradiative recombination,and block moisture erosion.Consequently,the DPHAbased PSC achieves a champion PCE of 20.05%with a record-high FF of 85.05%,both of which rank among the top in the performance of inverted CsPbI_(3)PSCs.Moreover,the unencapsulated DPHA-based device exhibits negligible hysteresis,remarkably improved long-term storage,and operational stability.This work offers a facile and useful strategy to simultaneously promote the efficiency and device stability of inverted inorganic PSCs.

文摘The tensile strain in inorganic perovskite films induced by thermal annealing is one of the primary factors contributing to the inefficiency and instability of inorganic perovskite solar cells(IPSCs),which reduces the defect formation energy.Here,a flexible molecule 5-maleimidovaleric acid(5-MVA)was introduced as a strain buffer to release the residual strain of CsPbI_(2.85)Br_(0.15)perovskite.Maleic anhydride and carboxyl groups in 5-MVA interact strongly with the uncoordinated Pb^(2+)through Lewis acid-base reaction,thus tightly“pull”the perovskite lattice.The in-between soft carbon chain increased the structural flexibility of CsPbI_(2.85)Br_(0.15)perovskite materials,which effectively relieved the intrinsic internal strain of CsPbI_(2.85)Br_(0.15),resisted the corrosion of external strain,and also reduced the formation of defects such as VIand Pb0.In addition,the introduction of 5-MVA improved crystal quality,passivated residual defects,and narrowed energy level barriers.Eventually,power conversion efficiency(PCE)of NiOxbased inverted IPSCs increased from 19.25%to 20.82%with the open-circuit voltage enhanced from 1.164 V to 1.230 V.The release of strain also improved the stability of CsPbI_(2.85)Br_(0.15)perovskite films and devices.

文摘The types and structures of inorganic pores are key factors in evaluations of the reservoir space and distribution characteristics of shale oil and gas.However,quantitative identification methods for pores of different inorganic components have not yet been fully developed.For this reason,a quantitative characterization method of inorganic pores using pixel information was proposed in this study.A machine learning algorithm was used to assist the field emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM)image processing of shale to realize the accurate identification and quantitative characterization of inorganic pores on the surface of high-precision images of shale with a small view.Moreover,large-view image splicing technology,combined with quantitative evaluation of minerals by scanning electron microscopy(QEMSCAN)image joint characterization technology,was used to accurately analyze the distribution characteristics of inorganic pores under different mineral components.The quantitative methods of pore characteristics of different inorganic components under the pixel information of shale were studied.The results showed that(1)the Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis(WEKA)machine learning model can effectively identify and extract shale mineral components and inorganic pore distribution,and the large-view FE-SEM images are representative of samples at the 200μm×200μm view scale,meeting statistical requirements and eliminating the influence of heterogeneity;(2)the pores developed by different mineral components of shale had obvious differences,indicating that the development of inorganic pores is highly correlated with the properties of shale minerals themselves;and(3)the pore-forming ability of different mineral components is calculated by the quantitative method of single component pore-forming coefficient.Chlorite showed the highest pore-forming ability,followed by(in descending order)illite,pyrite,calcite,dolomite,albite,orthoclase,quartz,and apatite.This study contributes to advancing our understanding of inorganic pore characteristics in shale.

文摘The water adsorption performance of shale gas reservoirs is a very important factor affecting their gas in place(GIP)contents,but the water-holding capacity and mechanism of over-mature shale,especially organic pores,are still not fully understood.In this study,systematic water vapor adsorption(WVA)experiments were carried out on the Lower Cambrian over-mature shale and its kerogen from the Sichuan Basin,China to characterize their WVA behaviors,and combined with the low-pressure gas(N_(2) and CO_(2))adsorption experiments,the main influencing factors of WVA capacity of the shale and the absorbed-water distribution in its organic and inorganic nanopores were investigated.The results show that the WVA isotherms of shale and kerogen are all typeⅡ,with an obvious hysteresis loop in the multilayer adsorption range,and that the positive relationship of the shale TOC content with the WVA capacity(including total adsorption capacity,primary adsorption capacity and secondary adsorption capacity)and WVA hysteresis index(AHIW),and the greater adsorption capacity and AHIW of kerogen than the shale,all indicate that the hydrophilicity of organic matter(OM)in the over-mature shale was underestimated in previous research.Although both the shale OM and clay minerals have a significant positive effect on the WVA,the former has a stronger adsorption ability than the latter.The WVA capacity of the studied Lower Cambrian shale is significantly greater than that of the Longmaxi shale reported in literatures,which was believed to be mainly attributed to its higher maturity,with a significant graphitization of OM.The shale micropores and non-micropores play an important role in WVA,especially OM pores.There are primary and secondary adsorption for water vapor in both the micropores and non-micropores of OM,while these adsorptions of minerals mainly occur in their non-micropores.These results have important guides for understanding the gas storage mechanism and exploration and development potential of marine over-mature shale in southern China,especially the Lower Cambrian shale.

文摘CsPbBr_(3)perovskite solar cells(PSCs)have attracted significant interest for their remarkable stability under high temperatures and humidity.However,challenges such as energy loss at the CsPbBr_(3)/oxide buried interface and imperfect band alignment have impeded further efficiency enhancements.In this study,TiO_(2),SnO_(2),or ZnO was employed as electron transport layer(ETL)materials,respectively,in CsPbBr_(3)-based PSCs to optimize the band alignment at the ETL/CsPbBr_(3)interface and enhance the film quality of CsPbBr_(3)materials.The research findings indicate that the power conversion efficiency(PCE)of PSCs is influenced by the choice of ETL material.Specifically,TiO_(2)-based PSCs achieved a PCE of 10.37%efficiency,higher than SnO_(2)-or ZnO-based PSCs.This disparity in PCE can be attributed to variations in open-circuit voltage,which stem from different band alignments at the ETL/CsPbBr_(3)interface.Notably,superior photovoltaic performance was consistently observed in TiO_(2)-based PSCs due to the substantial conduction band offset(∆Ec)at the TiO_(2)/CsPbBr_(3)interface and the high quality of the CsPbBr_(3)film.This not only enhances electron extraction at the TiO_(2)/CsPbBr_(3)interface but also diminishes non-radiative recombination at the interface,as confirmed by density functional theory(DFT)calculations and experiments.Furthermore,photodetectors(PDs)based on TiO_(2)/CsPbBr_(3)heterojunction exhibit high photoresponse and photodetectivity.In conclusion,this study underscores the critical importance of the buried interface contact in CsPbBr_(3)and offers a direct approach for fabricating efficient and stable inorganic PSCs and PDs.

文摘For large-scale energy storage devices,all-solid-state sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)have been revered for the abundant resources,low cost,safety performance and a wide operating temperature range.Na-ion solid-state electrolytes(Na-ion SSEs)are the critical parts and mostly determine the electrochemical performance of SIBs.Among the studied ones,inorganic Na-ion SSEs stand out for their good safety performance and high ionic conductivity.In this review,we outline the research progress of inorganic SSEs in SIBs based on the perspectives of crystal structure,performance optimization,synthesis methods,allsolid-state SIBs,interface modification and related characterization techniques.We hope to provide some ideas for the design of future high-performance Na-ion SSEs.

文摘This study investigates the spatial distribution and regulatory mechanisms of dissolved inorganic carbon(DIC) in Xiangshan Bay, East China Sea, addressing critical gaps in carbon cycling research within semi-enclosed bays. Through isotopic analysis(δ^(13)C_(DIC), δD and δ^(18)O) and hydrochemical measurements [salinity and dissolved oxygen(DO)] of surface and bottom seawater samples from 52 stations, we demonstrate that δ^(13)C_(DIC) values(surface:-3.6‰ to-2.1‰;bottom:-3.6‰ to-1.8‰) exhibit distinct vertical and spatial patterns, with higher values in surface waters and outer bay regions compared to bottom and inner bay areas. Conservative mixing between seawater(average contribution:56%) and freshwater dominates DIC dynamics, while tidal hydrodynamics amplify the imprint of riverine inputs during low tides. Nutrient gradients driven by saline-freshwater mixing enhance primary productivity in outer bay regions,resulting in 13C-enriched DIC and elevated dissolved organic carbon(DOC) concentrations. Conversely, bottom waters show 13C-depleted signatures(-2.75‰ mean δ^(13)C_(DIC)), reflecting organic matter degradation under oxygen-depleted conditions. Aquaculture activities exacerbate localized eutrophication, with monsoon-enhanced runoff amplifying anthropogenic impacts. This work underscores the sensitivity of coastal carbon cycling to both natural hydrodynamics and anthropogenic perturbations in semi-enclosed bays.

文摘Sodium-ion batteries have garnered significant attention due to their abundant sodium resources and low cost,showing great potential for large-scale energy storage.However,traditional sodium-ion batteries,which rely on flammable liquid electrolytes as the ion transport medium,pose safety challenges in practical applications.Using solid-state electrolytes instead of liquid electrolytes can effectively improve the safety and electrochemical performance of battery systems,making solid-state sodium-ion batteries as a highly promising option for energy storage.Solid-state electrolytes are categorized into organic and inorganic types.Inorganic solid-state electrolytes have garnered increased interest for their high ionic conductivity,high ion mobility,excellent mechanical properties,and good thermal stability.This review systematically explores the advancements in various inorganic solid-state electrolytes,includingβ-Al_(2)O_(3),sodium superionic conductor,sulfide,halide,complex hydride,and anti-perovskite.The review focuses on material preparation,ionic conductivity,and electrochemical properties.Additionally,it addresses the interface challenges between inorganic solid-state electrolytes and electrode materials,along with effective strategies to improve these interfaces.

文摘Widespread soil acidification driven by nitrogen(N)fertilization and precipitation challenges the conventional notion of the long-term stability of soil inorganic carbon(SIC)in agroecosystems.However,the changes in SIC with precipitation and N fertilization remain ambiguous.Based on 4,000+soil samples collected in the 1980s and 2010s and by developing machine learning models to fill the missing SIC of soil samples,this study generated 3,697 paired soil samples between the two periods and then investigated the cropland SIC change and explored its relationship with precipitation and N fertilization across the Sichuan Basin,China.The results showed an overall SIC loss,with a decline of the mean SIC by 15.73%.SIC change varied with initial soil pH and initial SIC and exhibited an exponential relationship with soil pH change,indicating the changing role of carbonates in providing acid-buffering capacity.There was a parabolical relationship between the magnitude of SIC decline and N fertilizer rates,and low N fertilizer rates contributed to a reduction in SIC loss,while SIC loss was promoted by N fertilization occurred when N fertilizing rates exceeded 250 kg ha^(-1) yr^(-1).The change in SIC showed a sinusoidal variation with precipitation,with 950 mm being the threshold controlling whether SIC increased or decreased.Meanwhile,N fertilization did not alter the sinusoidal relationship between SIC change and precipitation.In areas with rainfall<950 mm,the high N fertilizer rate did not cause SIC loss,while higher precipitation could also cause larger SIC loss in areas with lower N fertilizer rates.These results suggest that SIC dynamics are jointly driven by precipitation and N fertilization and are controlled by acid-buffering mechanisms associated with initial pH and SIC,with precipitation being the predominant driver.These findings emphasize the need for more regional soil observations and in-depth studies of SIC change and its mechanisms for accurately estimating SIC change.
