Currently, modifying shift point velocity value or throttle by throttle change rate is one of common methods, but the results are not so satisfactory in some working condition such as uphill. The reason is that these methods merely consider throttle change rate which is not enough for a car driving in driver-vehicle-road environment system. So a novel fuzzy control modification strategy is proposed to avoid or reduce those abnormal shift actions. It can adjust shifting rule by the change rate of throttle, current gear position and road environment information, while different gear position and driving environment get corresponding modification value. In order to compare the results of shifting actions, fuel consumption and braking distance, emergent braking in level road and extra-urban driving cycle（EUDC） working conditions with fuzzy shifting schedule modification strategy are simulated digitally. Furthermore, a hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform is introduced to verify its effect in slope road condition according to the ON/OFF numbers of solenoid valve in hydraulic system. The simulation results show that the problem of unexpected shift in those working conditions may be resolved by fuzzy modification strategy. At last, it is concluded that although there is some slight decline in power performance in uphill situation, this fuzzy modification strategy could correctly identify slope of road, decrease braking distance, improve vehicle comfort and fuel economy effectively and prolong the life of clutch system. So, this fuzzy logic shifting strategy provides important references for vehicle intelligent shifting schedule.展开更多

The carbonization of 2D MOF can increase the activity of the catalyst but cannot solve the metal leaching problem. The further acid treatment of carbonization products can further improve the catalytic activity and decrease the metal ion leaching. The in-situ growth of2D MOF on graphene oxide(GO) support with subsequent carbonization and acid treatment offers the best performance in PDS activation for organic pollutant removal with low metal ion leaching. Compared with other PDS systems, the Ni-Fe-C-acid/GO system displays much lower catalyst and PDS dosages for p-chloroaniline degradation. This study presents new insights in the modification strategies of 2D MOFbased catalysts in PDS activation.展开更多

文摘Potassium-ion batteries(PIBs)are considered as a promising energy storage system owing to its abundant potassium resources.As an important part of the battery composition,anode materials play a vital role in the future development of PIBs.Bismuth-based anode materials demonstrate great potential for storing potassium ions(K^(+))due to their layered structure,high theoretical capacity based on the alloying reaction mechanism,and safe operating voltage.However,the large radius of K^(+)inevitably induces severe volume expansion in depotassiation/potassiation,and the sluggish kinetics of K^(+)insertion/extraction limits its further development.Herein,we summarize the strategies used to improve the potassium storage properties of various types of materials and introduce recent advances in the design and fabrication of favorable structural features of bismuth-based materials.Firstly,this review analyzes the structure,working mechanism and advantages and disadvantages of various types of materials for potassium storage.Then,based on this,the manuscript focuses on summarizing modification strategies including structural and morphological design,compositing with other materials,and electrolyte optimization,and elucidating the advantages of various modifications in enhancing the potassium storage performance.Finally,we outline the current challenges of bismuth-based materials in PIBs and put forward some prospects to be verified.

文摘Solar-driven photocatalytic overall water splitting(POWS)has emerged as a sustainable pathway for hydrogen production,yet faces intrinsic challenges in developing robust catalysts that balance efficiency,stability,and cost-effectiveness.Polymeric carbon nitride(PCN)represents as a promising metal-free photocatalyst for hydrogen production due to the merits of unique electronic structure and exceptional thermal stability.Nevertheless,limited by rapid charge recombination and insufficient oxidative capability,little success has been achieved on pristine PCN photocatalyst in POWS.In this context,recent advances have demonstrated multi-dimensional modification strategies for improving POWS performance.Based on the fundamental principles of photocatalysis,this review discusses the advantages and challenges of PCN-based photocatalysts in POWS systems.With critical evaluation on one-step excitation systems and Z-scheme two-step excitation systems,modification strategies including crystallinity engineering,supramolecular precursor design,cocatalyst modulation,and construction of PCN-based heterojunctions and homojunctions were highlighted by introducing representative advances in POWS application over the past five years.Future perspectives for PCN-based photocatalysts are proposed,aiming to provide new insights for the design of advanced photocatalytic system for efficient POWS.

文摘Lithium-sulfur batteries(LSBs)have undoubtedly become one of the most promising battery systems due to their high energy density and the cost-effectiveness of sulfur cathodes.However,challenges,such as the shuttle effect from soluble long-chain lithium polysulfides(LiPSs)and the low conductivity of active materials,hinder their commercialization.Under this circumstance,molybdenum sulfide(MoS_(2))has attracted widespread attention due to its unique physicochemical properties,particularly its capability to mitigate the shuttle effect in LSBs through electrostatic or chemical bonds.Nonetheless,the industrial application of MoS_(2)in LSBs is limited by the inertness of its basal surface and inadequate electron transfer properties.This review mainly introduces various modification strategies of MoS_(2)materials in LSBs and their effects on electrochemical and catalytic performance.Unlike previous reviews and related papers,detailed discussions were conducted on the specific mechanisms of each modification strategy,including(1)shape manipulation,(2)support engineering,(3)heterostructure engineering,(4)defect engineering,(5)interlayer engineering,(6)phase engineering,(7)strain engineering,(8)hybridization.Comprehensive conclusions and outlook on the development of MoS_(2)as an abundant electrocatalyst for LSBs are also discussed in the end.

文摘The severe shuttle effect problem of soluble polysulfides greatly hinders the development of long-life lithium-sulfur(Li-S)batteries,which can be improved by separator modification.This study develops a bilayer separator based on an effective surface and structure dual modification strategy.This bilayer separator(named as TCNFs/SPNFs)is constructed by the integration of a carbon-based nanofiber layer(surface modification layer)with a polymer-based nanofiber layer(structure modification layer)through a facile electrospinning process.The excellent electrolyte wettability of the nanofibers accelerates lithium-ion migration,while the good electronic conductivity of the carbon layer facilitates fast electron conduction.The TiO_(2)and SiO_(2)nanoparticles embedded in the separator provide abundant active sites for immobilizing the polysulfides.Owing to these synergistic effects,this multi-functional separator helps inhibit the shuttling problem and thus enhances the active sulfur utilization.The as-prepared battery with the TCNFs/SPNFs separator delivers significantly enhanced the electrochemical performances,producing a low capacity decay rate of 0.061%per cycle at 1 C over 1000 cycles and an admirable rate capacity of 886.7 mAh g^(-1)at 2 C.Even with a high sulfur loading of 4.8 mg cm^(-2),a remarkable areal capacity of 6.0 mAh cm^(-2)is attained.This work is believed to provide a promising strategy to develop novel separators for high-performance Li-S batteries.

文摘With the rapid development of new energy and the high proportion of new energy connected to the grid,energy storage has become the leading technology driving significant adjustments in the global energy landscape.Electrochemical energy storage,as the most popular and promising energy storage method,has received extensive attention.Currently,the most widely used energy storage method is metal-ion secondary batteries,whose performance mainly depends on the cathode material.Prussian blue analogues(PBAs)have a unique open framework structures that allow quick and reversible insertion/extraction of metal ions such as Na^(+),K^(+),Zn^(2+),Li^(+)etc.,thus attracting widespread attention.The advantages of simple synthesis process,abundant resources,and low cost also distinguish it from its counterparts.Unfortunately,the crystal water and structural defects in the PBAs lattice that is generated during the synthesis process,as well as the low Na content,significantly affect their electrochemical performance.This paper focuses on PBAs’synthesis methods,crystal structure,modification strategies,and their potential applications as cathode materials for various metal ion secondary batteries and looks forward to their future development direction.

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Heterogeneous photocatalysis,an advanced oxidation process,has garnered extensive attention in the field of environmental remediation because it involves the direct utilization of solar energy for the removal of numerous pollutants.However,the application of heterogeneous photocatalysis in environmental remediation has not achieved the expected consequences due to enormous challenges such as low photocatalytic efficiencies and high costs of heterogeneous photocatalysts in large-scale practical applications.Furthermore,pollutants in the natural environment,including water,air,and solid phases,are diverse and complex.Therefore,extensive efforts should be made to better understand and apply heterogeneous photocatalysis for environmental remediation.Herein,the fundamentals of heterogeneous photocatalysis for environmental remediation are introduced.Then,potential semiconductors and their modification strategies for environmental photocatalysis are systematically presented.Finally,conclusions and prospects are briefly summarized,and the direction for the future development of environmental photocatalysis is explored.This review may provide reference directions toward understanding,researching,and designing photocatalytic remediation systems for various environmental pollutants.
文摘Pitch is a complex mixture of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and their non-metal derivatives that has a high carbon content.Using pitch as a precursor for carbon materials in alkali metal ion(Li^(+)/Na^(+)/K^(+))batteries has become of great interest.However,its direct pyrolysis often leads to microstructures with a high orientation and small interlayer spacing due to uncontrolled liquid-phase carbonization,resulting in subpar electrochemical performance.It is therefore important to control the microstructures of pitch-derived carbon materials in order to improve their electrochemical properties.We evaluate the latest progress in the development of these materials using various microstructural engineering approaches,highlighting their use in metal-ion batteries and supercapacitors.The advantages and limitations of pitch molecules and their carbon derivatives are outlined,together with strategies for their modification in order to improve their properties for specific applications.Future research possibilities for structure optimization,scalable production,and waste pitch recycling are also considered.

文摘This study reports several modification strategies to optimize and enhance the performance of twodimensional(2D) metal organic frameworks(MOFs)-derived catalysts in peroxydisulfate(PDS) activation.The raw 2D Ni-MOF and 2D Ni-Fe-MOF without modification show poor catalytic activities for PDS activation and high metal ion leaching. The carbonization of 2D MOF can increase the activity of the catalyst but cannot solve the metal leaching problem. The further acid treatment of carbonization products can further improve the catalytic activity and decrease the metal ion leaching. The in-situ growth of2D MOF on graphene oxide(GO) support with subsequent carbonization and acid treatment offers the best performance in PDS activation for organic pollutant removal with low metal ion leaching. Compared with other PDS systems, the Ni-Fe-C-acid/GO system displays much lower catalyst and PDS dosages for p-chloroaniline degradation. This study presents new insights in the modification strategies of 2D MOFbased catalysts in PDS activation.

文摘Cobalt-based electrocatalysts take advantage of potentially harmonizable microstructure and flexible coupling effects compared to commercial noble metal-based catalytic materials.However,conventional water electrolysis systems based on cobalt-based monofunctional hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)or oxygen evolution reaction(OER)catalysts have certain shortcomings in terms of resource utilization and universality.In contrast,cobalt-based bifunctional catalysts(CBCs)have attracted much attention in recent years for overall water splitting systems because of their practicality and reduced preparation cost of electrolyzer.This review aims to address the latest development in CBCs for total hydrolysis.The main modification strategies of CBCs are systematically classified in water electrolysis to provide an overview of how to regulate their morphology and electronic configuration.Then,the catalytic performance of CBCs in total-hydrolysis is summarized according to the types of cobalt-based phosphides,sulfides and oxides,and the mechanism of strengthened electrocatalytic ability is emphasized through combining experiments and theoretical calculations.Future efforts are finally suggested to focus on exploring the dynamic conversion of reaction intermediates and building near-industrial CBCs,designing advanced CBC materials through micro-modulation,and addressing commercial applications.
