In this paper, we propose a novel logging method for detection of high-resistance formations in OBM using highfrequency electrodes. The method addresses the issue of shallow depth of investigation(DOI) in existing electrical logging instruments, while simultaneously ensuring the vertical resolution. Based on the principle of current continuity, the total impedance of the loop is obtained by equating the measurement loop to the series form of a capacitively coupled circuit. and its validity is verified in a homogeneous formation model and a radial two-layer formation model with a mud standoff. Then, the instrument operating frequency and electrode system parameters were preferentially determined by numerical simulation, and the effect of mud gap on impedance measurement was investigated. Subsequently, the DOI of the instrument was investigated utilizing the pseudo-geometric factor defined by the real part of impedance. It was determined that the detection depth of the instrument is 8.74 cm, while the effective vertical resolution was not less than 2 cm. Finally, a focused high-frequency electrode-type instrument was designed by introducing a pair of focused electrodes, which effectively enhanced the DOI of the instrument and was successfully deployed in the Oklahoma formation model. The simulation results demonstrate that the novel method can achieve a detection depth of 17.40 cm in highly-resistive formations drilling with OBM, which is approximately twice the depth of detection of the existing oil-based mud microimager instruments. Furthermore, its effective vertical resolution remains at or above 2 cm,which is comparable to the resolution of the existing OBM electrical logging instrument.展开更多

文摘Improving the volumetric energy density of supercapacitors is essential for practical applications,which highly relies on the dense storage of ions in carbon-based electrodes.The functional units of carbon-based electrode exhibit multi-scale structural characteristics including macroscopic electrode morphologies,mesoscopic microcrystals and pores,and microscopic defects and dopants in the carbon basal plane.Therefore,the ordered combination of multi-scale structures of carbon electrode is crucial for achieving dense energy storage and high volumetric performance by leveraging the functions of various scale structu re.Considering that previous reviews have focused more on the discussion of specific scale structu re of carbon electrodes,this review takes a multi-scale perspective in which recent progresses regarding the structureperformance relationship,underlying mechanism and directional design of carbon-based multi-scale structures including carbon morphology,pore structure,carbon basal plane micro-environment and electrode technology on dense energy storage and volumetric property of supercapacitors are systematically discussed.We analyzed in detail the effects of the morphology,pore,and micro-environment of carbon electrode materials on ion dense storage,summarized the specific effects of different scale structures on volumetric property and recent research progress,and proposed the mutual influence and trade-off relationship between various scale structures.In addition,the challenges and outlooks for improving the dense storage and volumetric performance of carbon-based supercapacitors are analyzed,which can provide feasible technical reference and guidance for the design and manufacture of dense carbon-based electrode materials.

文摘Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate)(PEDOT:PSS)is a highly successful conductive polymer utilized as an electrode material in energy storage units for portable and wearable electronic de-vices.Nevertheless,employing PEDOT:PSS in supercapacitors(SC)in its pristine state presents challenges due to its suboptimal electrochemical performance and operational instability.To surmount these limita-tions,PEDOT:PSS has been integrated with carbon-based materials to form flexible electrodes,which ex-hibit physical and chemical stability during SC operation.We developed a streamlined fabrication process for high-performance SC electrodes composed of PEDOT:PSS and carbon quantum dots(CQDs).The CQDs were synthesized under microwave irradiation,yielding green-and red-light emissions.Through optimiz-ing the ratios of CQDs to PEDOT:PSS,the SC electrodes were prepared using a spray-coating technique,marking a significant improvement in device performance with a high volumetric capacitance(104.10 F cm-3),impressive energy density(19.68 Wh cm^(-3)),and excellent cyclic stability,retaining~85% of its original volumetric capacitance after 15,000 repeated GCD cycles.Moreover,the SCs,when utilized as a flexible substrate,demonstrated the ability to maintain up to~85% of their electrochemical performance even after 3,000 bending cycles(at a bending angle of 60°).These attributes render this hybrid composite an ideal candidate for a lightweight smart energy storage component in portable and wearable electronic technologies.

文摘Developing highly active and stable air electrodes remains challenging for reversible solid oxide cells(R-SOCs).Herein,we re-port an A-site high-entropy engineered perovskite oxide,La_(0.2)Pr_(0.2)Nd_(0.2)Ba_(0.2)Sr_(0.2)Co_(0.8)Fe_(0.2)O_(3−δ)(HE-LSCF),and its electrocatalytic activity and stability property are systematically probed for tubular R-SOCs.The HE-LSCF air electrode exhibits excellent oxygen reduction reac-tion(ORR)activity with a low polarization resistance of 0.042Ω·cm^(2)at 700℃,which is much lower than that of La0.6Sr0.4Co_(0.8)Fe_(0.2)O_(3−δ)(LSCF),indicating the excellent catalytic activity of HE-LSCF.Meanwhile,the tubular R-SOCs with HE-LSCF shows a high peak power density of 1.18 W·cm^(−2)in the fuel cell mode and a promising electrolysis current density of−0.52 A·cm^(−2)at 1.5 V in the electrolysis mode with H_(2)(~10%H_(2)O)atmosphere at 700℃.More importantly,the tubular R-SOCs with HE-LSCF shows favorable stability under 180 h reversible cycling test.Our results show the high-entropy design can significantly enhance the activity and robustness of LSCF electrode for tubular R-SOCs.
文摘In order to address the current inability of screen printing to monitor printing pressure online,an online printing pressure monitoring system applied to screen printing machines was designed in this study.In this study,the consistency of printed electrodes was measured by using a confocal microscope and the pressure distribution detected by online pressure monitoring system was compared to investigate the relationship.The results demonstrated the relationship between printing pressure and the consistency of printed electrodes.As printing pressure increases,the ink layer at the corresponding position becomes thicker and that higher printing pressure enhances the consistency of the printed electrodes.The experiment confirms the feasibility of the online pressure monitoring system,which aids in predicting and controlling the consistency of printed electrodes,thereby improving their performance.

文摘All-solid-state batteries(ASSBs)are a promising next-generation energy storage solution due to their high energy density and enhanced safety.To achieve this,specialized electrode designs are required to efficiently enhance interparticle lithium-ion transport between solid components.In particular,for active materials with high specific capacity,such as silicon,their volume expansion and shrinkage must be carefully controlled to maintain mechanical interface stability,which is crucial for effective lithium-ion transport in ASSBs.Herein,we propose a mechanical stress-tolerant all-solid-state graphite/silicon electrode design to ensure stable lithium-ion diffusion at the interface through morphology control of active material particles.Plate-type graphite with a high surface-area-to-volume ratio is used to maximize the dispersion of silicon within the electrode.The carefully designed electrode can accommodate the volume changes of silicon,ensuring stable capacity retention over cycles.Additionally,spherical graphite is shown to contribute to improved rate performance by providing an efficient lithium-ion diffusion pathway within the electrode.Therefore,the synergistic effect of our electrode structure offers balanced electrochemical performance,providing practical insights into the mechano-electrochemical interactions essential for designing highperformance all-solid-state electrodes.

文摘The oil-based mud(OBM) borehole measurement environment presents significant limitations on the application of existing electrical logging instruments in high-resistance formations. In this paper, we propose a novel logging method for detection of high-resistance formations in OBM using highfrequency electrodes. The method addresses the issue of shallow depth of investigation(DOI) in existing electrical logging instruments, while simultaneously ensuring the vertical resolution. Based on the principle of current continuity, the total impedance of the loop is obtained by equating the measurement loop to the series form of a capacitively coupled circuit. and its validity is verified in a homogeneous formation model and a radial two-layer formation model with a mud standoff. Then, the instrument operating frequency and electrode system parameters were preferentially determined by numerical simulation, and the effect of mud gap on impedance measurement was investigated. Subsequently, the DOI of the instrument was investigated utilizing the pseudo-geometric factor defined by the real part of impedance. It was determined that the detection depth of the instrument is 8.74 cm, while the effective vertical resolution was not less than 2 cm. Finally, a focused high-frequency electrode-type instrument was designed by introducing a pair of focused electrodes, which effectively enhanced the DOI of the instrument and was successfully deployed in the Oklahoma formation model. The simulation results demonstrate that the novel method can achieve a detection depth of 17.40 cm in highly-resistive formations drilling with OBM, which is approximately twice the depth of detection of the existing oil-based mud microimager instruments. Furthermore, its effective vertical resolution remains at or above 2 cm,which is comparable to the resolution of the existing OBM electrical logging instrument.

文摘A unitized regenerative fuel cell(URFC)is a device that may function reversibly as either a fuel cell(FC)or water elec-trolysis(WE).An important component of this device is the Membrane electrode assembly(MEA).Therefore,this study aimed to compare the performance outcomes of MEA using electrodes with single and three catalyst layers.This study measured Electrochemical Surface Area(ECSA),Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy(EIS),X-ray Diffraction analysis(XRD),and X-ray Fluorescence(XRF).Furthermore,the round-trip efficiency(RTE)of the MEA,as w ell as the performance in FC and WE mode,was measured.In comparison,The ECSA values of Pt-Ru/C and Pt/C with three catalyst layers were higher than the single catalyst layer.This result was supported by electrode characterization data for XRD and XRF.The respective electrical conductivity values of Pt-Ru/C and Pt/C with three catalyst layers are also higher than the single cata-lyst layer,and the performance of URFC using MEA with three catalyst layers has the highest value of RTE among the MEA performances of URFC,which is 100%at a current density of 4 mA·cm-2.

文摘Developing efficient and stable electrocatalysts has always been the focus of electrochemical research.Here,sea urchin-like nickel-molybdenum bimetallic phosphide nickel-molybdenum alloy(Ni_(4)Mo)and(Ni-Mo-P)were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal,annealing and phosphating methods on nickel foam(NF).The unusual shape of the sea urchin facilitates gas release and mass transfer and increases the interaction between catalysts and electrolytes.The Ni_(4)Mo/NF and Ni-Mo-P/NF electrodes only need overpotentials of 72 and 197 mV to reach 50 mA·cm^(−2) under alkaline conditions for hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction,respectively.The Ni_(4)Mo/NF and Ni-Mo-P/NF asymmetric electrodes were used as anode and cathode for the overall water splitting,respectively.In 1.0 M KOH,at a voltage of 1.485 V,the electrolytic device generated 50 mA·cm^(−2) current density,maintaining for 24 h without reduction.The labor presents a simple method to synthesize a highly active,low-cost,and strongly durable self-supporting electrode for over-water splitting.

文摘The silicon-graphite(Si-C)composite electrode is considered a promising candidate for next-generation commercial electrodes due to its high capacity.However,lithium-ion batteries with silicon electrodes often experience capacity fading and poor cyclic performance,primarily due to the mechanical degradation of the solid-electrolyte interphase(SEI).In this work,we present a homogenized constitutive model for Si-C composite electrodes under finite deformation,incorporating lithium-ion concentration-dependent properties.We perform a wrinkling analysis and systematically examine the influence of key parameters,such as modulus and thickness ratios,on the critical conditions for instability.Additionally,we investigate the ratcheting effect across varying silicon contents.Our findings reveal that maintaining the silicon content within an optimal range effectively reduces plastic accumulation during charge–discharge cycles.These insights provide crucial guidance for optimizing the design and fabrication of Si–C electrode systems,enhancing their durability and performance.

文摘Silver nanowires(Ag NWs)have promising application potential in electronic displays because of their superior flexibility and transparency.Doping Ni in Ag NWs has proven to be an effective strategy to im-prove its work function.However,AgNi NWs-based electrodes suffer from poor electrical conductivity under air exposure due to the low-conductivity NiO generated on its surface.Here,Cu was further doped in AgNi NWs to form AgNiCu NWs and regulate its surface oxide under long-term air exposure.Finally,it is demonstrated that the conductivity of AgNiCu NWs can acquire an improved tolerable tempera-ture(over 240℃)and prolonged high-temperature tolerance time(over 150 min)by finely regulating the doping content Cu,indicating an enhanced air-stable conductivity.The optimized AgNiCu NWs also achieve superior transparent conductivity as pure Ag NWs and high work function as AgNi NWs,which has been successfully applied in constructing an n-type photodiode with an effective rectification effect.

文摘Amidst the ever-growing interest in high-mass-loading Li battery electrodes,a persistent challenge has been the insufficient continuity of their ion/electron conduction pathways.Here,we propose cellulose elementary fibrils(CEFs)as a class of deagglomerated binder for high-mass-loading electrodes.Derived from natural wood,CEF represents the most fundamental unit of cellulose with nanoscale diameter.The preparation of the CEFs involves the modulation of intermolecular hydrogen bonding by the treatment with a proton acceptor and a hydrotropic agent.This elementary deagglomeration of the cellulose fibers increases surface area and anionic charge density,thus promoting uniform dispersion with carbon conductive additives and suppressing interfacial side reactions at electrodes.Consequently,a homogeneous redox reaction is achieved throughout the electrodes.The resulting CEF-based cathode(overlithiated layered oxide(OLO)is chosen as a benchmark electrode active material)exhibits a high areal-mass-loading(50 mg cm^(-2),equivalent to an areal capacity of 12.5 mAh cm^(-2))and a high specific energy density(445.4 Wh kg–1)of a cell,which far exceeds those of previously reported OLO cathodes.This study highlights the viability of the deagglomerated binder in enabling sustainable high-mass-loading electrodes that are difficult to achieve with conventional synthetic polymer binders.

文摘An all-solid-state ion-selective electrode(ISE)for the detection of potassium ions in complex media was developed based on functional peptides with both antibacterial and antifouling properties.While exhibiting unique antifouling property,the ISE capitalized on the high surface area of the conductive metalorganic framework(MOF)solid transducer layer to facilitate rapid ion-electron transfer,consequently improving the electrode stability.For a short period,the application of a±1 n A current to the ISE resulted in a slight potential drift of 2.5μV/s,while for a long-term stability test,the ISE maintained a stable Nernstian response slope over 8 days.The antifouling and antibacterial peptide effectively eradicated bacteria from the electrode surface while inhibited the adhesion of bacteria and other biological organisms.Both theoretical calculations and experimental results indicated that the incorporation of peptides in the sensing membrane did not compromise the detection performance of the ISE.The prepared antifouling potassium ion-selective electrode exhibited a Nernstian response range spanning from 1.0×10^(–8)mol/L to 1.0×10–3mol/L,with a detection limit of 2.51 nmol/L.Crucially,the prepared solid-contact ISE maintained excellent antifouling and sensing capabilities in actual seawater and human urine,indicating a promising feasibility of this strategy for constructing ISEs suitable for practical application in complex systems.
