In response, researchers have turned to continuous water splitting using forward osmosis(FO)-driven seawater desalination. However, the necessity of a neutral electrolyte hampers this strategy due to the limited current density and scarcity of precious metals. Herein, this study applies alkali-durable FO membranes to enable self-sustaining seawater splitting, which can selectively withdraw water molecules, from seawater, via concentration gradient. The membranes demonstrates outstanding perm-selectivity of water/ions(~5830 mol mol^(-1)) during month-long alkaline resistance tests, preventing electrolyte leaching(>97% OHàretention) while maintaining ~95%water balance(V_(FO)= V_(electrolysis)) via preserved concentration gradient for consistent forward-osmosis influx of water molecules. With the consistent electrolyte environment protected by the polyamide FO membranes, the Ni Fe-Ar-P catalyst exhibits promising performance: a sustain current density of 360 m A cmà2maintained at the cell voltage of 2.10 V and 2.15 V for 360 h in the offshore seawater, preventing Cl/Br corrosion(98% rejection) and Mg/Ca passivation(99.6% rejection). This research marks a significant advancement towards efficient and durable seawater-based hydrogen production.展开更多

However, the necessity of a neutral electrolyte hampers this strategy due to the limited current density and scarcity of precious metals. Herein, this study applies alkali-durable FO membranes to enable self-sustaining seawater splitting, which can selectively withdraw water molecules, from seawater, via concentration gradient. The membranes demonstrates outstanding perm-selectivity of water/ions(~5830 mol mol^(-1)) during month-long alkaline resistance tests, preventing electrolyte leaching(>97% OHàretention) while maintaining ~95%water balance(V_(FO)= V_(electrolysis)) via preserved concentration gradient for consistent forward-osmosis influx of water molecules. With the consistent electrolyte environment protected by the polyamide FO membranes, the Ni Fe-Ar-P catalyst exhibits promising performance: a sustain current density of 360 m A cmà2maintained at the cell voltage of 2.10 V and 2.15 V for 360 h in the offshore seawater, preventing Cl/Br corrosion(98% rejection) and Mg/Ca passivation(99.6% rejection). This research marks a significant advancement towards efficient and durable seawater-based hydrogen production.

文摘Accurate detection of fashion design attributes is essential for trend analyses and recommendation systems.Among these attributes,the neckline style plays a key role in shaping garment aesthetics.However,the presence of complex backgrounds and varied body postures in real-world fashion images presents challenges for reliable neckline detection.To address this problem,this research builds a comprehensive fashion neckline database from online shop images and proposes an efficient fashion neckline detection model based on the YOLOv8 architecture(FN-YOLO).First,the proposed model incorporates a BiFormer attention mechanism into the backbone,enhancing its feature extraction capability.Second,a lightweight multi-level asymmetry detector head(LADH)is designed to replace the original head,effectively reducing the computational complexity and accelerating the detection speed.Last,the original loss function is replaced with Wise-IoU,which improves the localization accuracy of the detection box.The experimental results demonstrate that FN-YOLO achieves a mean average precision(mAP)of 81.7%,showing an absolute improvement of 3.9%over the original YOLOv8 model,and a detection speed of 215.6 frame/s,confirming its suitability for real-time applications in fashion neckline detection.
