文摘Scalable fabrication of homogeneous perovskite films remains crucial for bridging the efficiency gap between lab-scale solar cells and commercial solar modules.To tackle this issue,we introduce NCyano-4-methyl-N-phenylbenzenesulfonamide(CMPS) additives into perovskite precursors,enabling slot-die coating of large-area modules under ambient conditions.CMPS suppresses colloidal aggregation and delays crystallization,yielding high-quality uniform films.Small-area devices(0.07 cm^(2) aperture area) incorporating CMPS exhibited a significant efficiency increase from 22.07 % to 24.58 %.Corresponding encapsulated devices maintained 85 % of their initial power conversion efficiency(PCE,average 23.56 %) after 1500 h of continuous maximum power point(MPP) tracking under one-sun illumination at 50-55℃.Furthermore,we demonstrate impressive efficiency of perovskite solar modules,achieving 20.57 %(52 cm^(2) aperture area) for 10 cm × 10 cm mini-modules and 17.02 %(260 cm^(2) aperture area) for 21 cm × 21 cm sub-modules,representing the state-of-the-art performance for solutionprocessed devices at these scales.

文摘[Background]High harmonic cavities are widely used in electron storage rings to lengthen thebunch,lower the bunch peak current,thereby reducing the IBS effect,enhancing the Touschek lifetime,as well asproviding Landau damping,which is particularly important for storage rings operating with ultra-low emittance or atlow beam energy.[Purpose]To further increase the bunch length without additional hardware costs,the phasemodulation in a dual-RF system is considered.[Methods]In this paper,turn-by-turn simulations incorporating randomsynchrotron radiation excitation are conducted,and a brief analysis is presented to explain the bunch lengtheningmechanism.[Results]Simulation results reveal that the peak current can be further reduced,thereby mitigating IBSeffects and enhancing the Touschek lifetime.Although the energy spread increases,which tends to reduce thebrightness of higher-harmonic radiation from the undulator,the brightness of the fundamental harmonic can,in fact,beimproved.
文摘Current research focuses on the performance degradation of photovoltaic(PV)modules,examining both crystalline silicon(p-Si and m-Si)and thin-film technologies,including a-Si/μc-Si,HIT,CdTe and CIGS.These modules were operated outdoors in two distinct climatic zones in the United States(US)over a period of three years.The degradation analysis includes the study of various quantities,such as the decrease in peak power,the reduction in current and voltage,and the variation in the fill factor.The annual degradation rate(DR)of PV modules is obtained by a linear fit of the effective maximum power evolution over time.The results indicate that m-Si and p-Si modules experienced a slight decrease in performance,with DRs of−0.83%and−1.07%,respectively.Subsequently,the HIT module exhibited a DR of−1.75%,while CdTe and CIGS modules demonstrated DRs of−2.03%and−2.45%,respectively.The a-Si/μc-Si module showed the highest DR at−3.26%.Using the Single Diode Model(SDM),we monitored the temporal evolution of physical parameters as well as changes in the shape of the I-V and P-V curves over time.We found that the key points of the I-V curve degrade over time,as do the I-V and P-V characteristics between two days approximately 30 months apart.

文摘Poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT)is one of the most promising hole-transporting materials in the pursuit of efficient and stable perovskite solar cells due to its outstanding stability and low cost.However,the intrinsic low carrier density of P3 HT and poor contact between the P3HT/perovskite interface always lead to a low performance of the solar cell,while conventional chemical doping always makes the films unstable and limits the scalability.In this work,for the first time,we simultaneously enhanced the hole transporting properties of P3HT film and the interface of perovskite by doping it with a judiciously designed oxidized small molecule organic semiconductor.The organic salt not only can promote the lamellar crystallinity of P3HT to obtain better charge transport properties,but also reduce the defects of perovskite.As a result,we achieved champion efficiencies of 23.0%for small-area solar cells and 18.8%for larger-area modules(48.0 cm^(2)).This efficiency is the highest value for P3HT-based perovskite modules.Moreover,the solar cells show excellent operational stability,retaining over 95%of their initial efficiencies after1200 h of continuous operation.

文摘While reinforcement learning-based underwater acoustic adaptive modulation shows promise for enabling environment-adaptive communication as supported by extensive simulation-based research,its practical performance remains underexplored in field investigations.To evaluate the practical applicability of this emerging technique in adverse shallow sea channels,a field experiment was conducted using three communication modes:orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM),M-ary frequency-shift keying(MFSK),and direct sequence spread spectrum(DSSS)for reinforcement learning-driven adaptive modulation.Specifically,a Q-learning method is used to select the optimal modulation mode according to the channel quality quantified by signal-to-noise ratio,multipath spread length,and Doppler frequency offset.Experimental results demonstrate that the reinforcement learning-based adaptive modulation scheme outperformed fixed threshold detection in terms of total throughput and average bit error rate,surpassing conventional adaptive modulation strategies.
文摘AIM:To investigate the effects of different light intensities and various mydriatic and miotic drugs on pupil accommodation in guinea pigs.METHODS:Forty-two-week-old guinea pigs were randomly divided into four groups to assess pupillary responses under varying light intensities(100,250,500 lx)and pharmacological interventions(1%atropine,1%cyclopentolate,1%tropicamide,or 2%pilocarpine).Baseline pupil size and eccentricity were recorded using a non-contact Python-based imaging system integrating edge detection and pixel-to-distance conversion.Direct illumination effects were measured at sequential time points,followed by drug administration and longitudinal tracking of pupillary changes.The protocol was repeated at 12wk of age for developmental comparisons.Postexperiment,enucleated eyes were analyzed to evaluate in vitro vs in vivo differences.RESULTS:Significant age-dependent differences in pupil dynamics were observed.Both 2-and 12-week-old guinea pigs exhibited marked pupil constriction under direct illumination(P<0.001),with decreased eccentricity post-constriction(P<0.001).Indirect illumination caused inconsistent pupil size changes(2-week:P=0.68;12-week:P=0.49).Pharmacologically,atropine,cyclopentolate,and tropicamide induced pupil dilation(P<0.001),whereas pilocarpine caused constriction(P<0.001).All drug groups showed reduced eccentricity(P<0.001).In vivo/in vitro comparisons revealed significant structural differences.CONCLUSION:This study investigates pupillary responses in developing guinea pigs,revealing a direct pupillary light reflex(PLR)with light intensity-dependent responses,while indirect PLR was undetectable.The differential effects of muscarinic modulators on pupillary responses underscore the critical role of cholinergic signaling in ocular accommodation,with age-related variations in sensitivity.Additionally,a novel non-contact measurement methodology achieved a precision of 0.01 mm for pupillary quantification,enhancing accuracy in ocular studies.

文摘Electrosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide through the two-electron oxygen reduction pathway provides a crucial alternative to the energy-intensive anthraquinone process.Nevertheless,the efficicency for hydrogen peroxide generation is limited by the competitive four-electron pathway.In this work,we report a noncovalent modulation strategy for the isolated CoN_(4) sites by metal-phthalocyanine molecules confinement,which boosts the two-electron oxygen reduction towards generating hydrogen peroxide.The confined Co-phthalocyanine molecules on CoN_(4) sites through π-π interactions induce the competitive*OOH adsorption between the two Co sites formed nanochannel.This noncovalent modulation contributes to the weakened*OOH binding on CoN_(4) sites and thus suppresses its further dissociation,achieving the maximum selectivity of 95% with high activity for H_(2)O_(2)production.This work shows that tailoring noncovalent interactions beyond the binding sites is a promising approach to modulate the local structure of isolated metal sites and related catalytic performance.

文摘The functional properties of glasses are governed by their formation history and the complex relaxation processes they undergo.However,under extreme conditions,glass behaviors are still elusive.In this study,we employ simulations with varied protocols to evaluate the effectiveness of different descriptors in predicting mechanical properties across both low-and high-pressure regimes.Our findings demonstrate that conventional structural and configurational descriptors fail to correlate with the mechanical response following pressure release,whereas the activation energy descriptor exhibits robust linearity with shear modulus after correcting for pressure effects.Notably,the soft mode parameter emerges as an ideal and computationally efficient alternative for capturing this mechanical behavior.These findings provide critical insights into the influence of pressure on glassy properties,integrating the distinct features of compressed glasses into a unified theoretical framework.
文摘The interaction between the active chips mounted and the same base plate is considered as a thermoelectrical coupling effect.An approach to coupling effect analysis of a multi-chip system is presented with IGBT as a sample.Finite element method is used to evaluate the temperature distribution in power modules.The precise electrothermal model is obtained by fitting the curve of transient thermal impedance with a finite series of exponential terms,in which,the thermal-coupling effect among chips is considered as a prediction of the highest transient temperature of the chips.This model can be used in many thermal monitoring systems.Both ANSYS and PSPICE si- mulation software have been employed,and the simulation results agree with the experimental ones very well.
