Thus, a soil heating system for facility agriculture based on solar concentration technology was proposed, and a novel compound parabolic concentration photothermal and photoelectricity device(CTPV) equipped in the system was designed to address this problem. In accordance with the structure of the device, LightTools optical software was selected to analyze the variation trend of the light escape rate of the device with the diff erent incident angles.

Unlike current photovoltaic-based satellite energy generation, the Dyson-Harrop satellite generates energy based on the photoelectric effect, which has the potential to achieve significantly higher efficiency than current photovoltaic technology. The proposed CubeSat system consists of three main components: a tether unit, an energy harvesting unit, and the central 3U CubeSat body. The tether unit generates a cylindrical magnetic field along its main tether,effectively concentrating electrons from the solar wind to the energy harvesting unit. The energy harvesting unit includes a spherical electron receiver, functioning as a capacitor, which attracts electrons from the solar wind, as well as an annular flat solar sail that captures photons in the solar wind to eject electrons via the photoelectric effect, resulting in an electric current in the system.The Dyson-Harrop CubeSat is shown to be highly efficient as an energy-generation system, producing approximately 1 kW of power by a 3U CubeSat. This energy can be transmitted via microwave beams to other spacecraft or ground stations on the Earth. It is important to note that this estimation is based on first-principle estimations, and thorough theoretical analysis and experimental validation are required to confirm the feasibility of the concept.展开更多

In this work, we report the fabrication of high-performance pyroelectric photodetectors utilizing a heterostructure of carbon nanotube film(CNTF) and silver nanostructure film(Ag NSF)on a lead zirconate titanate(PZT) substrate. The resulting device exhibits an impressive broad-spectrum photoelectric response, covering wavelengths from ultraviolet to near-infrared, with a responsivity range of 0.49 V·W^(-1)–1.01 V·W^(-1) and a fast response time of 8 ms–40 ms. The enhanced photoelectric properties of the CNTF/Ag NSF/PZT composite suggest its strong potential for applications in advanced broadband photodetectors, positioning this material system as a promising candidate for next-generation optoelectronic devices.展开更多

The most widely used method for achieving ...Ultrafast electron sources, which enable high spatiotemporal resolution in time-resolved electron microscopy and scanning probe microscopy, are receiving increased attention. The most widely used method for achieving ultrafast electron sources involves irradiating metal tips by ultrashort laser pulses, causing electron beam emission via the photoelectric effect [including photon-driven(quantum) or field-driven(classical) emission]. However, the thermionic electrons emission process due to the heating effect of ultrashort lasers, particularly its dynamic aspects, has rarely been addressed in previous studies. In this paper, we improved the signal-to-noise ratio of a two-pulse correlation measurement on the tip electron emission by nearly two orders of magnitude using a delay time modulation method. This allowed us to obtain information on the temperature evolution of hot electrons and phonons in a non-equilibrium state, and to extract characteristic time scales for electron-phonon and phonon-phonon scattering. Our findings indicate that the thermionic electrons emission, unlike the instantaneous photoelectric effect, causes electron emission to lag behind the laser pulse by tens of picoseconds, thus significantly affecting the detection of ultrafast dynamics of samples. Furthermore, such a lagging effect was found to be sensitive to the local structure of the metal tip, offering new insights into the improved design of ultrafast electron sources.展开更多

The average photoelectric conversion efficiency （PCE） of 6.39% is achieved. Through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS）, cyclic voltammetry scans and incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency （1PCE） data, the working principles are analyzed. The enhancement is mainly attributed to the improvement of short circuit current which is caused by the reduction of overall internal resistance of the devices. Durability tests are measured at room temperature, and the long-term stability performance can be maintained.展开更多

Pinhole detection is important to guarantee the quality of cold-rolled steel strips. The detector here was developed independently by Baosteel,and is designed based on the principle of photoelectric transfer. Typically, an inspection light source is installed above the steel strip to be inspected, and a photoelectric receiver is installed beneath the steel strip. The pinhole detector consists of a super-bright LED light source and a photoelectric receiver, which is composed primarily of photomultipliers. The super-bright LED light source illuminates the strip surface, and the light that permeates from pinholes is detected and amplified by a photoelectric receiver. The photomultiplier transforms the detected light into an electrical signal ,which is later recognized and classified by a signal-processing circuit and collected by a data-acquisition card. The detector can accurately track the strip edge and shield the strip edge from outside light. As a result,this system can detect a pinhole in the strip edge with a small blind zone on the edge. Most importantly, the detector exhibits good inspection accuracy and can accurately detect a pinhole with a diameter of 15 μm.展开更多

The proposed CubeSat system consists of three main components: a tether unit, an energy harvesting unit, and the central 3U CubeSat body. The tether unit generates a cylindrical magnetic field along its main tether,effectively concentrating electrons from the solar wind to the energy harvesting unit. The energy harvesting unit includes a spherical electron receiver, functioning as a capacitor, which attracts electrons from the solar wind, as well as an annular flat solar sail that captures photons in the solar wind to eject electrons via the photoelectric effect, resulting in an electric current in the system.The Dyson-Harrop CubeSat is shown to be highly efficient as an energy-generation system, producing approximately 1 kW of power by a 3U CubeSat. This energy can be transmitted via microwave beams to other spacecraft or ground stations on the Earth. It is important to note that this estimation is based on first-principle estimations, and thorough theoretical analysis and experimental validation are required to confirm the feasibility of the concept.

文摘Ammonia(NH_(3))is a fundamental chemical in agriculture and an ideal hydrogen carrier.Consequently,NH_(3)synthesis strategies with high efficiency,energy conservation,environmental friendliness,and sustainability are desired eminently.The nitrite(NO_(2)^(-))reduction reaction(NO_(2-)RR)to NH_(3)offers a feasibly low-energy consumption and continuable approach to replace industrial NH_(3)synthesis.Herein,polyethyleneimine(PEI)modified Au core Rh shell nanodendrites(Au@Rh-NDs)nanohybrid(Au@Rh-NDs/PEI)with branched structure is synthesized,which achieves the high NH_(3)yield(1.68 mg h^(-1)mg_(cat)^(-1))and Faradaic efficiency(FE)of 95.86%for NO_(2)^(-)-RR at-0.39 V potential in neutral electrolyte.Particularly,the introduction of PEI significantly enhances the electroactivity of Au@Rh-NDs at low concentration of 1 mM NaNO_(2),which originates from the enrichment function of PEI for NO_(2)^(-)-ion.In addition,the Au basement permits the sustainable solar power to expedite the NO_(2)^(-)-RR at Au@Rh-NDs/PEI owing to the localized surface plasmon resonance(LSPR)of the Au core substrate.This work may provide an admissible tactic to build excellent catalysts on account of organic molecule-mediated interfacial engineering in a variety of fields of catalysis and electrocatalysis.

文摘To solve the problem of identification and measurement of two projectiles hitting the target at the same time,this paper proposes a projectile coordinate test method combining three photoelectric encoder detection screens,and establishes a coordinate calculation model for two projectiles to reach the same detection screen at the same time.The design method of three photoelectric encoder detection screens and the position coordinate recognition algorithm of the blocked array photoelectric detector when projectile passing through the photoelectric encoder detection screen are studied.Using the screen projection method,the intersected linear equation of the projectile and the line laser with the main detection screen as the core coordinate plane is established,and the projectile coordinate data set formed by any two photoelectric encoder detection screens is constructed.The principle of minimum error of coordinate data set is used to determine the coordinates of two projectiles hitting the target at the same time.The rationality and feasibility of the proposed test method are verified by experiments and comparative tests.

文摘In this paper,hierarchical ultra-thin core/shell Ni_(3)S_(2)@MoS_(2)nano-arrays with Mo atomic site grown on nickel foam(Ni_(3)S_(2)@MoS_(2)-NF)were designed and synthesized through the hydrothermal method.When they are tested as photoelectric catalysis electrodes to anti-bacteria,the Ni_(3)S_(2)@MoS_(2)within core/shell structure exhibits about several times higher rate capability and outstanding cycling stability than traditional photocatalysts.After reacting with water and oxygen,large numbers of extracellular reactive oxygen species on the surface of Ni_(3)S_(2)@MoS_(2)are observed.These reactive oxygen species can penetrate bacterial cells,resulting in a rapid rise of intracellular reactive oxygen species in a short time.The integrity of the bacterial cell membrane is also destroyed,which can be observed in both scanning and transmission images.The synthetic primer was used to specifically label the gene fragment with antibiotic resistance,which was oxidized and eliminated after the photoelectron catalysis(PEC)reaction,proving that this material for PEC antibacterial can not only kill bacteria.Successful elimination of antibiotic-resistance gene fragments can also be achieved.

文摘Pyroelectric materials, known for their ability to convert thermal energy into electrical signals, have garnered significant attention due to their wide-ranging applications. In this work, we report the fabrication of high-performance pyroelectric photodetectors utilizing a heterostructure of carbon nanotube film(CNTF) and silver nanostructure film(Ag NSF)on a lead zirconate titanate(PZT) substrate. The resulting device exhibits an impressive broad-spectrum photoelectric response, covering wavelengths from ultraviolet to near-infrared, with a responsivity range of 0.49 V·W^(-1)–1.01 V·W^(-1) and a fast response time of 8 ms–40 ms. The enhanced photoelectric properties of the CNTF/Ag NSF/PZT composite suggest its strong potential for applications in advanced broadband photodetectors, positioning this material system as a promising candidate for next-generation optoelectronic devices.

文摘Ultrafast electron sources, which enable high spatiotemporal resolution in time-resolved electron microscopy and scanning probe microscopy, are receiving increased attention. The most widely used method for achieving ultrafast electron sources involves irradiating metal tips by ultrashort laser pulses, causing electron beam emission via the photoelectric effect [including photon-driven(quantum) or field-driven(classical) emission]. However, the thermionic electrons emission process due to the heating effect of ultrashort lasers, particularly its dynamic aspects, has rarely been addressed in previous studies. In this paper, we improved the signal-to-noise ratio of a two-pulse correlation measurement on the tip electron emission by nearly two orders of magnitude using a delay time modulation method. This allowed us to obtain information on the temperature evolution of hot electrons and phonons in a non-equilibrium state, and to extract characteristic time scales for electron-phonon and phonon-phonon scattering. Our findings indicate that the thermionic electrons emission, unlike the instantaneous photoelectric effect, causes electron emission to lag behind the laser pulse by tens of picoseconds, thus significantly affecting the detection of ultrafast dynamics of samples. Furthermore, such a lagging effect was found to be sensitive to the local structure of the metal tip, offering new insights into the improved design of ultrafast electron sources.

文摘Organic-inorganic hybrid metal halide perovskite solar cells(PSCs)have attracted much attention due to their high photoelectric conversion efficiency(PCE)and low cost.The certificated PCE of small active area(below 0.1 cm^(2))device has reached 26.7%[1].However,when considering the scaled-up commercialization of PSCs,an obvious efficiency drop exists for the translation to large-area perovskite submodules(PSMs)with areas more than 200 cm^(2),thus limiting the practical commercialization[2].The major PCE gap between small area cells and large area modules arises the drop of open-circuit voltage(VOC)and fill factor(FF).Formamidinium lead iodide(FAPbI_(3))is now the mostly widely used and highly efficient perovskite composition.However,the photo-active black α-FAPbI_(3) phase will spontaneously transform into photo-inactive yellowδ-FAPbI_(3) phase at room temperature[3].

文摘The photovoltaic performance of dye-sensitized solar cells （DSSCs） is enhanced by modifying the binary room tem- perature ionic liquid （RTIL） electrolyte with additives and iodine. The average photoelectric conversion efficiency （PCE） of 6.39% is achieved. Through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS）, cyclic voltammetry scans and incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency （1PCE） data, the working principles are analyzed. The enhancement is mainly attributed to the improvement of short circuit current which is caused by the reduction of overall internal resistance of the devices. Durability tests are measured at room temperature, and the long-term stability performance can be maintained.

文摘The Indium tin oxide（ITO） thin film possesses excellent photoelectric properties that enable it to act as an ideal transparent conductor.To obtain high-quality ITO films through sol-gel method, the ionic surfactant monoethanolamine and the non-ionic surfactant polyethylene glycol（PEG） were added to the ITO precursor slurry.The influences of surfactants on the structural and photoelectric properties of ITO film samples were investigated.XRD patterns indicated that surfactant monoethanolamine contributed to film predominant grain orientation along the（400） plane.The high transmittance（over 95%） was attributed to the preferred orientation and the grain size expansion of ITO films.SEM showed that the surface particle size and the morphology of ITO films were strongly dependent on the kind of surfactants used.Moving to the shortwave region, the absorption edge of the films exhibited the Burstein-Moss shift.

文摘An online pinhole detector based on the photoelectric inspection of cold-rolled steel strips was introduced. Pinhole detection is important to guarantee the quality of cold-rolled steel strips. The detector here was developed independently by Baosteel,and is designed based on the principle of photoelectric transfer. Typically, an inspection light source is installed above the steel strip to be inspected, and a photoelectric receiver is installed beneath the steel strip. The pinhole detector consists of a super-bright LED light source and a photoelectric receiver, which is composed primarily of photomultipliers. The super-bright LED light source illuminates the strip surface, and the light that permeates from pinholes is detected and amplified by a photoelectric receiver. The photomultiplier transforms the detected light into an electrical signal ,which is later recognized and classified by a signal-processing circuit and collected by a data-acquisition card. The detector can accurately track the strip edge and shield the strip edge from outside light. As a result,this system can detect a pinhole in the strip edge with a small blind zone on the edge. Most importantly, the detector exhibits good inspection accuracy and can accurately detect a pinhole with a diameter of 15 μm.
