A pivotal task is the generation and control of diverse quantum entangled states in a more compactand flexible manner. Here, we introduce an approach to achieve diverse path entanglement by exploiting the interactionbetween noncommutative metasurfaces and entangled photons. Different from other path entanglements, ourquantum path entanglement is evolution path entanglement of photons on Poincaré sphere. Due to quantum entanglementbetween idler photons and structured signal photons, evolution path of idler photons on the fundamental Poincarésphere can be nonlocally mirrored by structured signal photons on any higher-order Poincaré sphere, resulting in quantumpath entanglement. Benefiting from noncommutative metasurfaces, diverse quantum path entanglement can beswitched across different higher-order Poincaré spheres using distinct combination sequences of metasurfaces. Ourmethod allows for the tuning of diverse quantum path entanglement across a broad spectrum of quantum states, offeringa significant advancement in the manipulation of quantum entanglement.展开更多

文摘The stability and electrocatalytic efficiency of transition metal oxides for water splitting is determined by geometric and electronic structure,especially under high current densities.Herein,a newly designed lamella-heterostructured nanoporous CoFe/CoFe_(2)O_(4) and CeO_(2−x),in situ grown on nickel foam(NF),holds great promise as a high-efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst(named R-CoFe/Ce/NF)for water splitting.Experimental characterization verifies surface reconstruction from CoFe alloy/oxide to highly active CoFeOOH during in situ electrochemical polarization.By virtues of three-dimensional nanoporous architecture and abundant electroactive CoFeOOH/CeO_(2−x) heterostructure interfaces,the R-CoFe/Ce/NF electrode achieves low overpotentials for oxygen evolution(η_(10)=227 mV;η_(500)=450 mV)and hydrogen evolution(η_(10)=35 mV;η_(408)=560 mV)reactions with high normalized electrochemical active surface areas,respectively.Additionally,the alkaline full water splitting electrolyzer of R-CoFe/Ce/NF||R-CoFe/Ce/NF achieves a current density of 50 mA·cm^(−2) only at 1.75 V;the decline of activity is satisfactory after 100-h durability test at 300 mA·cm^(−2).Density functional theory also demonstrates that the electron can transfer from CeO_(2−x) by virtue of O atom to CoFeOOH at CoFeOOH/CeO_(2−x) heterointerfaces and enhancing the adsorption of reactant,thus optimizing electronic structure and Gibbs free energies for the improvement of the activity for water splitting.

文摘Enterprise applications utilize relational databases and structured business processes, requiring slow and expensive conversion of inputs and outputs, from business documents such as invoices, purchase orders, and receipts, into known templates and schemas before processing. We propose a new LLM Agent-based intelligent data extraction, transformation, and load (IntelligentETL) pipeline that not only ingests PDFs and detects inputs within it but also addresses the extraction of structured and unstructured data by developing tools that most efficiently and securely deal with respective data types. We study the efficiency of our proposed pipeline and compare it with enterprise solutions that also utilize LLMs. We establish the supremacy in timely and accurate data extraction and transformation capabilities of our approach for analyzing the data from varied sources based on nested and/or interlinked input constraints.

文摘Addressing the kinetic limitations of oxygen evolution reaction(OER)is paramount for advancing rechargeable Zn-air batteries,thus it is extremely urgent to drive the development of effective and affordable electrocatalysts.This work constructs the interfacial structure of cobalt-iron alloys@phosphates(denoted as CoFe/CoFePO)as OER catalyst through a two-step approach using water-bath and hydrothermal methods,which demonstrated significant OER activity in alkaline media,requiring a low overpotential of 271 mV to achieve 10 mA cm^(−2) and exhibiting a competitive Tafel slope of 65 mV dec^(-1),alongside sustained operational stability.The enhanced performance can be attributed to the improved electrical conductivity due to the participation of CoFe alloys and the increased number of active sites through partial phosphorylation,which synergistically enhances charge transfer processes and accelerates OER kinetics.Moreover,dynamic structural evolution during OER process was thoroughly probed,and the results show that alloys@phosphates gradually evolve into phosphate radicalmodified CoFe hydroxyoxides that act as the actual active phase.Highlighting its practical applicability,the integration of prepared catalyst into zinc-air batteries leads to markedly improved performance,thereby offering promising new strategic directions for the development of next-generation OER electrocatalysts.

文摘In the background of carbon neutrality,monolithic ceramic catalysts are universally used in energy conversion and chemical catalysis due to the high heat and mass transfer efficiencies,low bed pressures,and scalability through modular design.However,traditional manufacturing processes are limited by mold dependence,organic solvent toxicity,and insufficient molding capability for complex structures,resulting in difficulty achieving precise regulation of cross-scale pores.Additive manufacturing(AM)technology employs a digital layered molding strategy to achieve the cross-scale structural regulation of catalysts from macroscopic flow channels to mesopores and micropores.This paper summarizes recent advances in the structural design of monolithic catalysts enabled by AM technologies and highlights their emerging applications in catalytic processes.Structurally,AM-fabricated monoliths have been effectively employed in key chemical reactions such as fuel reforming,CO_(2)conversion,biofuel synthesis.Strategies such as geometrical topology optimization,multi-scale pore synergy,biomimetic structural design,and functional gradient integration have been utilized to enhance heat and mass transport,reduce pressure drops,and improve overall catalytic performance.By overcoming the limitations of traditional catalysts,AM technologies create a new paradigm for addressing the longstanding challenge of coupling mass transfer with reaction kinetics.This approach provides a feasible pathway for driving both theoretical innovation and practical implementation of high-efficiency catalytic systems.

文摘One-dimensional nanomaterials with hollow structures could provide large space for ion storage and charge accumulation.Herein,TiO_(2)/MoSe_(2)-Carbon nanotube composite(NT)materials were designed and fabricated by the template method and the chelation coordination reaction.The stability and conductivity were improved by the presence of titanium and hollow tubular-architecture carbon in the whole structure.As a result,the as-prepared TiO_(2)/MoSe_(2)-Carbon hybrid achieved a high-rate performance of 760.0 mAh·g^(−1) at a current density of 0.1 A·g^(−1),while still obtaining stability after 300 charge/discharge cycles.The enhancement of the lithium storage capacity mainly contributed to the acceleration of the electron conductivity and the storage kinetics.Moreover,the hollow structure reduced the volume strain and stress caused by the rapid insertion and removal of lithium ions,which ensured the favorable stability of lithium storage.The experiment shows that the kinetic of the TiO_(2)/MoSe_(2)-carbon hybrid during the lithium storage process is dominated by the pseudocapacitance mechanism.This work provides a new idea and scheme for the design and preparation of hierarchical nanotube composite electrode materials.

文摘With the rapid development of flexible equipment,high-energy/-power requirements have been proposed for energy storage devices.Nevertheless,the poor conductivities of metallic oxides and their low levels of transmission of electrons/ions hinder their widespread application.Here,a sandwich-structured Co_(3)O_(4)-Fe_(3)O_(4)(CFO) composite with binder-free was synthesized on a carbon cloth substrate via co-precipitation and partial ion exchange.The appropriate substitution of Co_(3)O_(4)with Fe_(3)O_(4)is favorable in promoting the rapid transfer of electrolyte ions and alleviating changes in volume during the electrochemical studies.When the duration of the substitution reaction is 20 min,the obtained electrode delivers a maximum specific capacitance of 1196.2 Fg^(-1)at a current density of 1 A g^(-1)and a superior capacity retention of~71%when the current density varies from 1to 30 Ag^(-1).Furthermore,the fabricated CFO//activated carbon flexible all-solid-state supercapacitor exhibits arespective maximum energy and power density of 68.7Wh kg^(-1)and 16,000 W kg^(-1)and excellent flexibility.It also displays a specific capacity retention of 81.3%under four continuous bending states at a current density of 6A g^(-1)over 10,000 cycles.These remarkable electrochemical char ac teristics suggest that the sandwich-structured CFO composite displays considerable potential for application in flexible high-energy/-power supercapacitors.

文摘Endowing stimuli-responsive materials with micro-nano structures is an intriguing strategy for the fabrication of superwetting surfaces;however,its application is limited by poor chemical/mechanical stability.Herein,a simple and versatile strategy was developed to fabricate durable polymeric superwetting surfaces with photoswitchable wettability on hierarchically structured metallic substrates.Inspired by nature,a novel functional terpolymer incorporating mussel-inspired catechol groups,photoresponsive azobenzene groups,and low-surface-energy fluorine-containing groups was synthesized via solution radical polymerization.The azobenzene-containing terpolymer possesses outstanding photoresponsiveness in both the solution and film states because of the trans-cis isomerization of the azobenzene moieties.After dip-coating with the mussel-inspired azo-copolymer,the as-prepared smart surfaces exhibited a photo-triggered change in wettability between high hydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity.More importantly,these superwetting surfaces with enhanced adhesion properties can tolerate harsh environmental conditions and repeated abrasion tests,thereby demonstrating excellent chemical robustness and mechanical durability.This study paves a new avenue for the convenient and large-scale fabrication of robust smart surfaces that could find widespread potential applications in microfluidic devices,water treatment,and functional coatings.

文摘The accuracy of center height detection for corrugated beam guardrails is significantly affected by robot posture in the mobile highway guardrail detection systems based on structured light vision.To address the problem,this paper proposes an integrated calibration method for structured light vision sensors.In the proposed system,the sensor is mounted on a crawler-type mobile robot,which scans and measures the center height of guardrails while in motion.However,due to external disturbances such as uneven road surfaces and vehicle vibrations,the posture of the robot may deviate,causing displacement of the sensor platform and resulting in spatial 3D measurement errors.To overcome this issue,the system integrates inertial measurement unit(IMU)data into the sensor calibration process,enabling realtime correction of posture deviations through sensor fusion.This approach achieves a unified calibration of the structured light vision system,effectively compensates for posture-induced errors,and enhances detection accuracy.A prototype was developed and tested in both laboratory and real highway environments.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method enables accurate center height detection of guardrails under complex road conditions,significantly reduces posture-related measurement errors,and greatly improves the efficiency and reliability of traditional detection methods.

文摘Maintaining the s-polarization state of laser beams is important to achieve high modulation depth in a laser-interference-based super-resolution structured illumination microscope(SR-SIM).However,the imperfect optical components can depolarize the laser beams hence degenerating the modulation depth.Here,we first presented a direct measurement method designed to estimate the modulation depth more precisely by shifting illumination patterns with equal phase steps.This measurement method greatly reduces the dependence of modulation depths on the samples,and then developed a polarization optimization method to achieve high modulation depth at all orientations by actively and quantitatively compensating for the additional phase difference using a combination of waveplate and a liquid crystal variable retarder(LCVR).Experimental results demonstrate that our method can achieve illumination patterns with modulation depth higher than 0.94 at three orientations with only one LCVR voltage,which enables isotropic resolution improvement.
文摘Materials engineering plays a key role in the field of electrochemical energy storage,and considerable efforts have been made in recent years to fulfill the future requirements of electrochemical energy storage using novel functional electrode materials.Materials with hollow structures are of particular interests due to their low density,large specific surface area and high porosity,making them promising candidates for energy conversion and storage.The Kirkendall effect has been widely applied for the synthesis of nanoscale hollow structures,which involves an unbalanced counter diffusion through a reaction interface.Herein,the recent progress on the use of the nanoscale Kirkendall effect to synthesize hollow nanostructures,including nanoparticles,one-dimensional(1-D),two-dimensional(2-D),and three-dimensional(3-D)nanostructures,and their potential applications in energy storage devices are summarized and discussed.And prospects is made for the future development of this research field.

文摘Quantum entanglement, a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics, lies at the heart of many current and futurequantum technologies. A pivotal task is the generation and control of diverse quantum entangled states in a more compactand flexible manner. Here, we introduce an approach to achieve diverse path entanglement by exploiting the interactionbetween noncommutative metasurfaces and entangled photons. Different from other path entanglements, ourquantum path entanglement is evolution path entanglement of photons on Poincaré sphere. Due to quantum entanglementbetween idler photons and structured signal photons, evolution path of idler photons on the fundamental Poincarésphere can be nonlocally mirrored by structured signal photons on any higher-order Poincaré sphere, resulting in quantumpath entanglement. Benefiting from noncommutative metasurfaces, diverse quantum path entanglement can beswitched across different higher-order Poincaré spheres using distinct combination sequences of metasurfaces. Ourmethod allows for the tuning of diverse quantum path entanglement across a broad spectrum of quantum states, offeringa significant advancement in the manipulation of quantum entanglement.

文摘Polymer dielectrics are required to maintain high energy density at elevated temperatures for advanced power and electronic systems.Herein,we report a novel solution-processed core-shell structured poly-imide(PI)nanocomposite with moderate dielectric constant HfO_(2)core and wide-bandgap Al_(2)O_(3)shell,ef-fectively addressing the typical trade-off between dielectric constant and breakdown strength in dielectric nanocomposites predominant at elevated temperatures.The formation of improved dielectrically match-ing interfaces by the rationally designed dielectric constant gradient from core-shell-matrix remarkably mitigates the distortion of the electric field around the interfaces,resulting in a high breakdown strength.Wide band gap Al_(2)O_(3)shell also introduces deeper traps to impede the conduction loss.The validity of Al_(2)O_(3)shell has been proved via experiments and simulations.Accordingly,HfO_(2)@Al_(2)O_(3)/PI nanocompos-ite exhibits an excellent charge-discharge efficiency of 91.7%at 300 MV/m and a maximum discharged energy density of 2.94 J/cm^(3)at 150℃,demonstrating its potential for high-temperature energy storage.

文摘Hydrogen production coupled with small molecule oxidation derived by renewable energy power has been widely studied as an effective method to reduce energy consumption and prepare added value production.Here,the copper-cobalt phosphide with a multilevel structure has been designed based on the hard and soft acids and bases theory.The nanocone composed of lamellas presented a sharp tip,which a positive effect on the mass transfer enhanced by a local electric field,and the nanolamellas contain CoP/Cu_(3)P interface provide the highly selective active site for the gluconic acid(GNA)synthesis and hydrogen evolution.The catalyst can drive hydrogen evolution at 5 A·cm^(-2)up to 437 h without active decay,and the electrocatalytic glucose oxidation at anode presents high efficiency due to Cu(I)introduction and the synergetic effect between interfaces.Density functional theory(DFT)calculation shows that water splitting more readily occurs at the CoP,which provides adsorbed H and-OH for hydrogen evolution and glucose oxidation,respectively,and glucose adsorption more readily occurs at the Cu_(3)P,which presents lower conversion energy for high value-added GNA.Efficient hydrogen evolution and glucose conversion indicate its high intrinsic activity and synergetic effect.This work provides a special interface construction strategy for the catalytic conversion of hydrogen and small molecules.
