At an operating temperature of 100 °C, the BNdT films annealed in air are of high response value to 1×10?6 gaseousethanol, and the detecting limit is as low as 0.1×10?6. The corresponding response and recovery time is about 10 and 6 s, respectively.The results can offer useful guidelines for fabricating high performance ethanol sensors.展开更多

Radial junctio...This study examines the influence of magnetic field and temperature on the transient voltage of a polycrystalline silicon radial junction solar cell in a dynamic regime under multispectral illumination. Radial junction solar cells represent a major advancement in photovoltaic technologies, as they optimize light absorption and charge collection efficiency. The focus is on the impact of the magnetic field and temperature on the decay of transient voltage, which provides crucial information on recombination processes and the lifetime of minority carriers. The results reveal that the magnetic field tends to increase the transient voltage by directly affecting the transient electron density. Indeed, for B > 7 × 10−5 T, the magnetic field prolongs the relaxation time by increasing the transient voltage amplitude. Additionally, rising temperatures accelerate (ranging from 290 K to 450 K) recombination processes, thereby reducing the transient voltage, although this effect is moderated by the presence of a magnetic field. The study highlights the complex interaction between magnetic field and temperature, with significant impacts on the transient behaviour.展开更多

In this work, 2D Cu O porous nanosheets(Cu O PNs) were prepared by a graphene oxide template method and their particle sizes were regulated by changing the calcination temperature. Their structure, morphology and gas sensing performances were investigated by various characterization methods. The response(Rg/Ra) of the gas sensor based on Cu O PNs calcined at 700oC was as high as 440-100 ppm TEA at the operating temperature of 40 ℃. The detection limit was as low as 0.25 ppm. In addition, the gas sensor has good selectivity and stability. The excellent TEA sensitivity is mainly resulted from the appropriate particle size and loose porous framework. This work not only paves the way to explore the novel low temperature TEA gas sensors, but also provides deep insight on improving the structure and properties of gas sensitive materials by controlling the calcination temperature.展开更多

The principle of the gas membrane separation process and the influence of the operation temperatures are analyzed. As the conventional PID controller is difficult to make the operation temperatures steady, a fuzzy self-tuning PID control algorithm is proposed. The application shows that the algorithm is effective, the operation temperatures of both stages can be controlled steadily, and the operation flexibility and adaptability of the hydrogen recovery unit are enhanced with safety. This study lays a foundation to optimize the control of the membrane separation process and thus ensure the membrane performance.展开更多

The individual behavior of ferrite and austenite in microstructure was studied in an iso-stress condition. Hot compression tests were performed at temperatures of 800-1100~C and strain rates of 0.001-1 s-1. The flow stress was modeled by a hyperbolic sine constitutive equation, the corresponding constants and apparent activation energies were determined for the studied alloys. The constitutive equation and law of mixture were used to measure the contribution factor of each phase at any given strain. It is found that the contribution factor of ferrite exponentially declines as the Zener-HoUomon parameter （Z） increases. On the contrary, the austenite contribution polynomially increases with the increase of Z. At low Z values below 2.6. x 1015 （lnZ---35.5）, a negative contribution factor is determined for austenite that is attributed to dynamic recrystallization. At high Z values, the contribution factor of austenite is about two orders of magnitude greater than that of ferrite, and therefore, austenite can accommodate more strain. Microstructural characterization via electron back-scattered diffraction （EBSD） confirms the mechanical results and shows that austenite recrystallization is possible only at high temperature and low strain rate.展开更多

Achieving higher operation temperature is critical to its commercial applications. Here, a fractional monolayer alloy method was used to grow InAsSb alloy with better controlled alloy composition. The as-grown T2SL gave eleven satellite peaks and a first satellite peak with a narrow full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) of 20.5arcsec (1 arcsec=0.01592°). Strain mapping results indicated limited Sb diffusion through the As-Sb exchange process at the interface. Moreover, unlike interface states caused by the As-Sb exchange effect, this relatively clear interface was distinctive with localized states with higher activation energies of the non-radiative recombination process ((18±1) meV and (84±12) meV at different temperature ranges), which means that this interface state introduced by fractional monolayer alloy growth method can effectively suppress Auger recombination process in T2SL. Through this interface engineering of InAs/InAsSb Type-Ⅱ superlattice, it achieved detective photoluminescence (PL) signal with the center wavelength of 9μm at 250K.展开更多

A 1D multi-plate heat transfer model based on the temperature data of separator measured using thermograph in a power generation experiment was developed to evaluate the reaction surface temperature （Treact）. This study investigated the effects of flow rate, relative humidity and type of supply gas as well as Tini on the temperature distribution on reaction surface. The results obtained in 02 supply case show that, the temperature rise at the segments near the outlet of cell decreases with increasing Tini irrespective of relative humidity of supply gas （RH）, while it is not seen in air supply case. Regarding the segments except near the outlet in 02 supply case, Treact - Tini increases with increasing Tini for 40% RH. The temperature distribution on reaction surface in 02 supply case is wider with increasing Tini as well as decreasing RH, though that in air supply case is relatively even.展开更多

文摘High operating temperatures generally degrade the luminous performance of color converters used in high-power,laser-driven white lighting systems.This study demonstrated that the operating temperature of LuAG:Ce films can be significantly reduced,particularly under high-power laser excitation near the saturation threshold.This improvement was achieved by enhancing the crystallinity and increasing the Ce^(3+)content in LuAG:Ce films.LuAG:Ce films,approximately 22.17μm in thickness,were deposited on sapphire substrates via spray pyrolysis techniques.The crystallinity was controlled by the annealing temperature,while the Ce^(3+)content was regulated by the annealing atmosphere.Compared with those with a crystallinity of 75.5%,the air-annealed films with a crystallinity of 87.4%exhibited a remarkable 95.6℃decrease in operating temperature under 18 W/mm^(2)blue laser excitation.Additionally,the incorporation of a higher Ce^(3+)content through CO annealing led to a further reduction in the operating temperature.By lowering the operating temperature,LuAG:Ce films on sapphire substrates exhibit enhanced luminous performance and thermal stability under prolonged high-power laser excitation,which could inspire the design and development of advanced color converters for laser lighting applications.

文摘In this paper,we demonstrate nBn InAs/InAsSb type II superlattice(T2SL)photodetectors with AlAsSb as the barrier that targets mid-wavelength infrared(MWIR)detection.To improve operating temperature and suppress dark current,a specific Sb soaking technique was employed to improve the interface abruptness of the superlattice with device passivation using a SiO_(2) layer.These result in ultralow dark current density of 6.28×10^(-6)A/cm^(2)and 0.31 A/cm^(2)under-600 mV at 97 K and297 K,respectively,which is lower than most reported InAs/InAsSb-based MWIR photodetectors.Corresponding resistance area product values of 3.20×10^(4)Ω·cm^(2)and 1.32Ω·cm^(2)were obtained at 97 K and 297 K.A peak responsivity of 0.39 A/W with a cutoff wavelength around 5.5μm and a peak detectivity of 2.1×10^(9)cm·Hz^(1/2)/W were obtained at a high operating temperature up to 237 K.
文摘This study examines the influence of magnetic field and temperature on the transient voltage of a polycrystalline silicon radial junction solar cell in a dynamic regime under multispectral illumination. Radial junction solar cells represent a major advancement in photovoltaic technologies, as they optimize light absorption and charge collection efficiency. The focus is on the impact of the magnetic field and temperature on the decay of transient voltage, which provides crucial information on recombination processes and the lifetime of minority carriers. The results reveal that the magnetic field tends to increase the transient voltage by directly affecting the transient electron density. Indeed, for B > 7 × 10−5 T, the magnetic field prolongs the relaxation time by increasing the transient voltage amplitude. Additionally, rising temperatures accelerate (ranging from 290 K to 450 K) recombination processes, thereby reducing the transient voltage, although this effect is moderated by the presence of a magnetic field. The study highlights the complex interaction between magnetic field and temperature, with significant impacts on the transient behaviour.

文摘Sodium-ion hybrid capacitors(SICs),which combine the high energy density of batteries with the high power density and long cycle life of capacitors,are considered promising next-generation energy storage devices.Ensuring the performance of SICs in low-temperature environments is crucial for applications in high-altitude cold regions,where the desolvation process of Na+and the transport process in the solid electrolyte interphase(SEI)are determinant.In this paper,we proposed a multi-ether modulation strategy to construct a solvation sheath with multi-ether participation by modulating the coordination of Na+and solvents.This unique solvation sheath not only reduces the desolvation energy barrier of Na+,but more importantly forms a Na_(2)O-rich inorganic SEI and enhances the ionic dynamics of Na+.Benefiting from the excellent solvation structure design,SICs prepared with this electrolyte can achieve energy density of up to 178 Wh·kg^(-1) and ultra-high power density of 42390 W·kg^(-1) at room temperature.Notably,this SIC delivers record-high energy densities of 149 Wh·kg^(-1) and 119 Wh·kg^(-1) as well as power densities of up to 25200 W·kg^(-1) and 24591 W·kg^(-1) at−20℃ and−40℃,respectively.This work provides new ideas for the development of high-performance SICs for low-temperature operating environments.

文摘Ammonium-ion batteries are promising solutions for large-scale energy storage systems owing to their costeffectiveness,safety,and sustainability.Herein,we propose an aqueous ammonium-ion battery based on an organic poly(1,5-naphthalenediamine)anode and an inorganic Prussian blue cathode in 19 M(M:mol kg^(-1))CH3COONH_(4)electrolyte.Its operation involves a reversible coordination reaction(C=N/C-N-conversion)in the anode and the NH_(4)^(+)insertion/extraction reaction in the cathode,along with NH_(4)^(+)acting as the charge carrier in a rocking-chair battery.Benefiting from the fast kinetics and stability of both electrodes,this aqueous ammoniumion battery shows an excellent rate capability and long cycle stability for 500 cycles.Moreover,an energy density as high as 31.8 Wh kg^(-1) can be achieved,based on the total mass of the cathode and anode.Surprisingly,this aqueous ammonium-ion battery works well over a wide temperature range from-40 to 80℃.This work will provide new opportunities to build wide-temperature aqueous batteries and broaden the horizons for large-scale energy storage systems.

文摘Here in this paper,we report a room-temperature operating infrared photodetector based on the interband transition of an In As Sb/Ga Sb quantum well.The interband transition energy of 5-nm thick In As（0.91）Sb（0.09） embedded in the Ga Sb barrier is calculated to be 0.53 e V（2.35μm）,which makes the absorption range of In As Sb cover an entire range from short-wavelength infrared to long-wavelength infrared spectrum.The fabricated photodetector exhibits a narrow response range from 2.0μm to 2.3μm with a peak around 2.1μm at 300 K.The peak responsivity is 0.4 A/W under-500-m Vapplied bias voltage,corresponding to a peak quantum efficiency of 23.8%in the case without any anti-reflection coating.At 300 K,the photodetector exhibits a dark current density of 6.05×10^-3A/cm^2 under-400-m V applied bias voltage and 3.25×10^-5A/cm^2 under zero,separately.The peak detectivity is 6.91×10^10cm·Hz^1/2/W under zero bias voltage at 300 K.

文摘According to the New Energy and Industry Technology Development Organization(NEDO)road map 2017 of Japan,polymer electrolyte fuel cell(PEFC)system is required to be operated at 90°C and 100°C for stationary and mobility applications,respectively.However,the general PEFC,which has Nafion membrane is operated within the temperature range between 60°C and 80°C.It is important to understand the temperature distribution in a PEFC cell for analyzing performance on working life span of PEFC.This study focuses on the combination of thin polymer electrolyte membrane(PEM)and thin gas diffusion layer(GDL)to improve power generation performance under relatively higher temperature operation conditions.In addition,this study also focuses on effect of micro porous layer(MPL),which can promote the mass transfer,over temperature distribution.The key aim of this study is to analyze impact of MPL of temperature distribution on the reaction surface(Treact)of a cell of PEFC using thin PEM and GDL with variations of H2 and O2 supply flow rates and their relative humidity(RH)with changing the initial operating temperature(Tini)from 80°C to 100°C.As a result,the distribution of Treact without MPL,for anode and cathode at 80%RH and Tini at 80°C and 90°C,is higher than normal conditions.There is a small difference in temperature distribution among different RH conditions with MPL.The distributions of Treact are relatively flat and almost the same among different RH conditions without MPL at Tini=100°C,while the distributions of Treact with MPL are almost the same among different RH conditions.This study is revealed that more even temperature distribution and higher power generation performance can be obtained in the case without MPL compared to the case with MPL.

文摘All-solid-state Li-Se battery shows great potential as a candidate for next-generation energy storage devices due to its high energy density and safety.However,the low ionic conductivity of the solid electrolytes and large volume changes of Se active materials are two of the major issues that limit its applications.Herein,a simple solid-state reaction method is applied to synthesize chlorine-rich argyrodite Li_(5.5)PS_(4.5)CI_(1.5)electrolyte with high conductivity of 6.25 mS·cm^(-1)at room temperature.Carbon nanotube(CNT)is introduced as the host for Se to obtain Se/CNT composite with both enhanced electronic conductivity and lower volume expansion during the electrochemical reaction process.All-solid-state Li-Se battery using Li_(5.5)PS_(4.5)CI_(1.5)as solid electrolyte combined with Se/CNT cathode and Li-In anode shows a discharge capacity of 866 mAh·g-1for the 2nd cycle under0.433 mA·cm-2at room temperature.Moreover,the assembled battery delivers a high discharge capacity of1026 mAh·g^(-1)for the 2nd cycle when cycled at the same current density at 60℃and maintains a discharge capacity of 380 mAh·g^(-1)after 150 cycles.Owing to the high Li-ion conductivity of Li_(5.5)PS_(4.5)CI_(1.5)electrolyte,the assembled battery displays a high discharge capacity of 344 mAh·g^(-1)under 0.113 mA·cm^(-2)at-20℃C and remains 66.1%after200 cycles.In addition,this all-solid-state Li-Se battery shows ultralong cycling performances up to 1000 cycles under 0.433 mA·cm^(-2)at-20℃.This work offers the design clue to fabricate the all-solid-state Li-Se battery workable at different operating temperatures with an ultralong cycling life.

文摘Lithium-sulfur batteries(LSBs)can work at high temperatures,but they suffer from poor cycle life stability due to the“shuttle effect”of polysulfides.In this study,pollen-derived porous carbon/cuprous phosphide(PC/Cu_(3)P)hybrids were rationally synthesized using a one-step carbonization method using pollen as the source material,acting as the sulfur host for LSBs.In the hybrid,polar Cu_(3)P can markedly inhibit the“shuttle effect”by regulating the adsorption ability toward polysulfides,as confirmed by theoretical calculations and experimental tests.As an example,the camellia pollen porous carbon(CPC)/Cu_(3)P/S electrode shows a high capacity of 1205.6 mAh g^(−1) at 0.1 C,an ultralow capacity decay rate of 0.038%per cycle after 1000 cycles at 1 C,and a rather high initial Coulombic efficiency of 98.5%.The CPC/Cu_(3)P LSBs can work well at high temperatures,having a high capacity of 545.9 mAh g^(−1) at 1 C even at 150℃.The strategy of the PC/Cu_(3)P hybrid proposed in this study is expected to be an ideal cathode for ultrastable high-temperature LSBs.We believe that this strategy is universal and worthy of in-depth development for the next generation energy storage devices.

文摘The freshness of seafood can be judged by detecting the concentration of triethylamine(TEA). In this work, 2D Cu O porous nanosheets(Cu O PNs) were prepared by a graphene oxide template method and their particle sizes were regulated by changing the calcination temperature. Their structure, morphology and gas sensing performances were investigated by various characterization methods. The response(Rg/Ra) of the gas sensor based on Cu O PNs calcined at 700oC was as high as 440-100 ppm TEA at the operating temperature of 40 ℃. The detection limit was as low as 0.25 ppm. In addition, the gas sensor has good selectivity and stability. The excellent TEA sensitivity is mainly resulted from the appropriate particle size and loose porous framework. This work not only paves the way to explore the novel low temperature TEA gas sensors, but also provides deep insight on improving the structure and properties of gas sensitive materials by controlling the calcination temperature.
文摘A two-staged membrane separation process for hydrogen recovery from refinery gases is introduced. The principle of the gas membrane separation process and the influence of the operation temperatures are analyzed. As the conventional PID controller is difficult to make the operation temperatures steady, a fuzzy self-tuning PID control algorithm is proposed. The application shows that the algorithm is effective, the operation temperatures of both stages can be controlled steadily, and the operation flexibility and adaptability of the hydrogen recovery unit are enhanced with safety. This study lays a foundation to optimize the control of the membrane separation process and thus ensure the membrane performance.
文摘The hot deformation characteristics of 1.4462 duplex stainless steel （DSS） were analyzed by considering strain partitioning between austenite and ferrite constituents. The individual behavior of ferrite and austenite in microstructure was studied in an iso-stress condition. Hot compression tests were performed at temperatures of 800-1100~C and strain rates of 0.001-1 s-1. The flow stress was modeled by a hyperbolic sine constitutive equation, the corresponding constants and apparent activation energies were determined for the studied alloys. The constitutive equation and law of mixture were used to measure the contribution factor of each phase at any given strain. It is found that the contribution factor of ferrite exponentially declines as the Zener-HoUomon parameter （Z） increases. On the contrary, the austenite contribution polynomially increases with the increase of Z. At low Z values below 2.6. x 1015 （lnZ---35.5）, a negative contribution factor is determined for austenite that is attributed to dynamic recrystallization. At high Z values, the contribution factor of austenite is about two orders of magnitude greater than that of ferrite, and therefore, austenite can accommodate more strain. Microstructural characterization via electron back-scattered diffraction （EBSD） confirms the mechanical results and shows that austenite recrystallization is possible only at high temperature and low strain rate.

文摘Ga-free InAs/InAsSb type-Ⅱ superlattices(T2SL) have extensive application prospective in infrared photodetectors. Achieving higher operation temperature is critical to its commercial applications. Here, a fractional monolayer alloy method was used to grow InAsSb alloy with better controlled alloy composition. The as-grown T2SL gave eleven satellite peaks and a first satellite peak with a narrow full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) of 20.5arcsec (1 arcsec=0.01592°). Strain mapping results indicated limited Sb diffusion through the As-Sb exchange process at the interface. Moreover, unlike interface states caused by the As-Sb exchange effect, this relatively clear interface was distinctive with localized states with higher activation energies of the non-radiative recombination process ((18±1) meV and (84±12) meV at different temperature ranges), which means that this interface state introduced by fractional monolayer alloy growth method can effectively suppress Auger recombination process in T2SL. Through this interface engineering of InAs/InAsSb Type-Ⅱ superlattice, it achieved detective photoluminescence (PL) signal with the center wavelength of 9μm at 250K.

文摘Purpose–This study aims to improve the availability of regenerative braking for urban metro vehicles by introducing a sensorless operational temperature estimation method for the braking resistor(BR)onboard the vehicle,which overcomes the vulnerability of having conventional temperature sensor.Design/methodology/approach–In this study,the energy model based sensorless estimation method is developed.By analyzing the structure and the convection dissipation process of the BR onboard the vehicle,the energy-based operational temperature model of the BR and its cooling domain is established.By adopting Newton’s law of cooling and the law of conservation of energy,the energy and temperature dynamic of the BR can be stated.To minimize the use of all kinds of sensors(including both thermal and electrical),a novel regenerative braking power calculation method is proposed,which involves only the voltage of DC traction network and the duty cycle of the chopping circuit;both of them are available for the traction control unit(TCU)of the vehicle.By utilizing a real-time iterative calculation and updating the parameter of the energy model,the operational temperature of the BR can be obtained and monitored in a sensorless manner.Findings–In this study,a sensorless estimation/monitoring method of the operational temperature of BR is proposed.The results show that it is possible to utilize the existing electrical sensors that is mandatory for the traction unit’s operation to estimate the operational temperature of BR,instead of adding dedicated thermal sensors.The results also validate the effectiveness of the proposal is acceptable for the engineering practical.Originality/value–The proposal of this study provides novel concepts for the sensorless operational temperature monitoring of BR onboard rolling stocks.The proposed method only involves quasi-global electrical variable and the internal control signal within the TCU.
文摘This study is to understand the impact of operating condition, especially initial operation temperature （Tini） which is set in high temperature range, on the temperature profile of the interface between PEM （polymer electrolyte membrane） and catalyst layer at the cathode （i.e., the reaction surface） in a single PEFC （polymer electrolyte fuel cell）. A 1D multi-plate heat transfer model based on the temperature data of separator measured using thermograph in a power generation experiment was developed to evaluate the reaction surface temperature （Treact）. This study investigated the effects of flow rate, relative humidity and type of supply gas as well as Tini on the temperature distribution on reaction surface. The results obtained in 02 supply case show that, the temperature rise at the segments near the outlet of cell decreases with increasing Tini irrespective of relative humidity of supply gas （RH）, while it is not seen in air supply case. Regarding the segments except near the outlet in 02 supply case, Treact - Tini increases with increasing Tini for 40% RH. The temperature distribution on reaction surface in 02 supply case is wider with increasing Tini as well as decreasing RH, though that in air supply case is relatively even.
