Progress has been made in modeling these aspects by moving from ECHAM5/MPI-OM to MPI-ESM. MPI-ESM is more skillful than ECHAM5/MPI-OM in modeling the time-mean state and the extreme condition of the IIE. Though simulation of the interannual variability significantly deviates to some extent in both MPI-ESM and ECHAM5/MPI-OM, MPI-ESM-LR shows better skill in reflecting the relationship among sea surface temperature anomalies over the Pacific, circulation anomalies over East Asia, and liE variability. The temperature becomes warmer under the RCP2.6 and RCP8.5 scenarios in comparison with the historical experiments, but the position of the liE and the key physical process in relation to the IIE variability almost remains the same, suggesting that the Indian summer monsoon tends to change in phase with the East Asian summer monsoon under each RCP scenario. The relatively realistic description of the physical processes modulated by terrain in MPI-ESM may be one of the most important reasons why MPI-ESM performs better in simulating the liE.展开更多

文摘Silicon stands as a key anode material in lithium-ion battery ascribing to its high energy density.Nevertheless,the poor rate performance and limited cycling life remain unresolved through conventional approaches that involve carbon composites or nanostructures,primarily due to the un-controllable effects arising from the substantial formation of a solid electrolyte interphase(SEI)during the cycling.Here,an ultra-thin and homogeneous Ti doping alumina oxide catalytic interface is meticulously applied on the porous Si through a synergistic etching and hydrolysis process.This defect-rich oxide interface promotes a selective adsorption of fluoroethylene carbonate,leading to a catalytic reaction that can be aptly described as“molecular concentration-in situ conversion”.The resultant inorganic-rich SEI layer is electrochemical stable and favors ion-transport,particularly at high-rate cycling and high temperature.The robustly shielded porous Si,with a large surface area,achieves a high initial Coulombic efficiency of 84.7%and delivers exceptional high-rate performance at 25 A g^(−1)(692 mAh g^(−1))and a high Coulombic efficiency of 99.7%over 1000 cycles.The robust SEI constructed through a precious catalytic layer promises significant advantages for the fast development of silicon-based anode in fast-charging batteries.
文摘Interface chemical modulation strategies are considered as promising method to prepare electrocatalysts for the urea oxidation reaction(UOR).However,conventional interface catalysts are generally limited by the inherent activity and incompatibility of the individual components themselves,and the irregular charge distribution and slow charge transfer ability between interfaces severely limit the activity of UOR.Therefore,we optimized and designed a Ni_(2)P/CoP interface with modulated surface charge distribution and directed charge transfer to promote UOR activity.Density functional theorycalculations first predict a regular charge transfer from CoP to Ni_(2)P,which creates a built-in electric field between Ni_(2)P and CoP interface.Optimization of the adsorption/desorption process of UOR/HER reaction intermediates leads to the improvement of catalytic activity.Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy characterization confirm the unique mechanism of facilitated reaction at the Ni_(2)P/CoP interface.Electrochemical tests further validated the prediction with excellent UOR/HER activities of 1.28 V and 19.7 mV vs.RHE,at 10 mA cm^(-2),respectively.Furthermore,Ni_(2)P/CoP achieves industrial-grade current densities(500 mA cm^(−2))at 1.75 V and 1.87 V in the overall urea electrolyzer(UOR||HER)and overall human urine electrolyzer(HUOR||HER),respectively,and demonstrates considerable durability.

文摘The poor reversibility and stability of Zn anodes greatly restrict the practical application of aqueous Zn-ion batteries(AZIBs),resulting from the uncontrollable dendrite growth and H_(2)O-induced side reactions during cycling.Electrolyte additive modification is considered one of the most effective and simplest methods for solving the aforementioned problems.Herein,the pyridine derivatives(PD)including 2,4-dihydroxypyridine(2,4-DHP),2,3-dihydroxypyridine(2,3-DHP),and 2-hydroxypyrdine(2-DHP),were em-ployed as novel electrolyte additives in ZnSO_(4)electrolyte.Both density functional theory calculation and experimental findings demonstrated that the incorporation of PD additives into the electrolyte effectively modulates the solvation structure of hydrated Zn ions,thereby suppressing side reactions in AZIBs.Ad-ditionally,the adsorption of PD molecules on the zinc anode surface contributed to uniform Zn deposi-tion and dendrite growth inhibition.Consequently,a 2,4-DHP-modified Zn/Zn symmetrical cell achieved an extremely long cyclic stability up to 5650 h at 1 mA cm^(-2).Furthermore,the Zn/NH_(4)V_(4)O_(10)full cell with 2,4-DHP-containing electrolyte exhibited an outstanding initial capacity of 204 mAh g^(-1),with a no-table capacity retention of 79%after 1000 cycles at 5 A g^(-1).Hence,this study expands the selection of electrolyte additives for AZIBs,and the working mechanism of PD additives provides new insights for electrolyte modification enabling highly reversible zinc anode.
