This review summarizes the recent progress of using PBAs and their derivatives as energy storage materials in alkali ions,multi-valent ions, and metal-air batteries. The key factors to improve the electrochemical performance of PBAs as cathode materials in rechargeable batteries were firstly discussed. Several approaches for performance enhancement such as controlling the amounts of vacancies and coordinated water, optimizing morphologies, and depositing carbon coating are described in details. Then, we highlighted the significance of their diverse architectures and morphologies in anode materials for lithium/sodium ion batteries. Finally, the applications of Prussian blue derivatives as catalysts in metal-air batteries are also reviewed, providing insights into the origin of favorable morphologies and structures of catalyst for the optimal performance.展开更多

Lacking mature software, its popularity is far behind its ability. To address this problem, this paper presents a new software architecture from a software engineering viewpoint. Based on 3D-DDA characteristics, the implementation of the proposed architecture has the following merits. Firstly, the software architecture separates data, computing, visualization, and signal control into individual modules. Secondly, data storage and parallel access are fully considered for different conditions. Thirdly, an open computing framework is provided which supports most numerical computing methods; common tools for equation solving and parallel computing are provided for further development. Fourthly, efficient visualization functions are provided by integrating a variety of visualization algorithms. A user-friendly graphical user interface is designed to improve the user experience. Finally, through a set of examples, the software is verified against both analytical solutions and the original code by Dr. Shi Gen Hua.展开更多

文摘Seawater batteries are attracting continuous attention because seawater as an electrolyte is inexhaustible,eco-friendly,and free of charge.However,the rechargeable seawater batteries developed nowadays show poor reversibility and short cycle life,due to the very limited electrode materials and complicated yet inappropriate working mechanism.Here,we propose a rechargeable seawater battery that works through a rocking-chair mechanism encountered in commercial lithium ion batteries,enabled by intercalation-type inorganic electrode materials of open-framework-type cathode and Na-ion conducting membrane-type anode.The rechargeable seawater battery achieves a high specific energy of 80.0 Wh/kg at 1,226.9 W/kg and a high specific power of 7,495.0 W/kg at 23.7 Wh/kg.Additionally,it exhibits excellent cycling stability,retaining 66.3%of its capacity over 1,000 cycles.This work represents a promising avenue for developing sustainable aqueous batteries withlow costs.
文摘This article examines the historical evolution of the Asia-Pacific LCC markets,highlighting the socio-economic and institutional factors that contribute to the market fragmentation and impede the growth of LCCs.Despite robust passenger demands and rapid network expansions,Asia Pacific has yet to produce giant LCCs.In contrast to the European single aviation market,the absence of a unified deregulation process and a shared Open Skies framework in Asia Pacific restricts LCCs’seamless cross-border operations.The analysis underscores that structural and regulatory barriers remained key obstacles to larger-scale integration of the LCC market in this region.This may be partially overshadowed by the region’s apparent success in terms of LCC development.Consequently,this study proposes enhanced multilateral dialogues of regulatory systems to unify sub-aviation markets across the Asia-Pacific countries,fostering economic development,supporting tourism recovery in the post-COVID era,and finally improving social well-being.

文摘Prussian blue analogues(PBAs) with open frameworks have drawn much attention in energy storage fields due to their tridimensional ionic diffusion path, easy preparation, and low cost. This review summarizes the recent progress of using PBAs and their derivatives as energy storage materials in alkali ions,multi-valent ions, and metal-air batteries. The key factors to improve the electrochemical performance of PBAs as cathode materials in rechargeable batteries were firstly discussed. Several approaches for performance enhancement such as controlling the amounts of vacancies and coordinated water, optimizing morphologies, and depositing carbon coating are described in details. Then, we highlighted the significance of their diverse architectures and morphologies in anode materials for lithium/sodium ion batteries. Finally, the applications of Prussian blue derivatives as catalysts in metal-air batteries are also reviewed, providing insights into the origin of favorable morphologies and structures of catalyst for the optimal performance.

文摘The demand to increase energy density of rechargeable batteries for portable electronic devices and electric vehicles and to reduce the cost for grid-scale energy storage necessitates the exploration of new chemistries of electrode materials for rechargeable batteries.The open framework-structure of Prussian-blue materials has recently been demonstrated as a promising cathode host for a variety of monovalent and multivalent cations with the tunable working voltage and discharge capacities.Recent progress toward the application of Prussian-blue cathode materials for rechargeable batteries is reviewed,with special emphasis on charge-storage mechanisms of different insertion species,factors influencing electrochemical performances,and possible approaches to overcome their intrinsic limitations.

文摘The three-dimensional discontinuous deformation analysis(3D-DDA) is a promising numerical method for both static and dynamic analyses of rock systems. Lacking mature software, its popularity is far behind its ability. To address this problem, this paper presents a new software architecture from a software engineering viewpoint. Based on 3D-DDA characteristics, the implementation of the proposed architecture has the following merits. Firstly, the software architecture separates data, computing, visualization, and signal control into individual modules. Secondly, data storage and parallel access are fully considered for different conditions. Thirdly, an open computing framework is provided which supports most numerical computing methods; common tools for equation solving and parallel computing are provided for further development. Fourthly, efficient visualization functions are provided by integrating a variety of visualization algorithms. A user-friendly graphical user interface is designed to improve the user experience. Finally, through a set of examples, the software is verified against both analytical solutions and the original code by Dr. Shi Gen Hua.
文摘This paper proposes a novel approach to use artificial intelligence(Al),particularly large language models(LLMs)and other foundation models(FMs)in an educational environment.It emphasizes the integration of teams of teachable and self-learning LLMs agents that use neuro-symbolic cognitive architecture(NSCA)to provide dynamic personalized support to learners and educators within self-improving adaptive instructional systems(SIAIS).These systems host these agents and support dynamic sessions of engagement workflow.We have developed the never ending open learning adaptive framework(NEOLAF),an LLM-based neuro-symbolic architecture for self-learning AI agents,and the open learning adaptive framework(OLAF),the underlying platform to host the agents,manage agent sessions,and support agent workflows and integration.The NEOLAF and OLAF serve as concrete examples to illustrate the advanced AI implementation approach.We also discuss our proof of concept testing of the NEOLAF agent to develop math problem-solving capabilities and the evaluation test for deployed interactive agent in the learning environment.
