Results show that the average cooling rate at 6 mm from the quenching surface and 420-230 ℃（quench sensitive temperature range） is 45.78℃/s. The peak-value of the SSHTC is 69 kW/（m^2·K） obtained at spray quenching for 0.4 s and the corresponding temperature of the quenching surface is 160 ℃. In the initial stage of spray quenching, the phenomenon called ＂temperature plateau＂ appears on the cooling curve of the quenching surface. The temperature range of this plateau is 160-170℃ with the duration about 3 s. During the temperature plateau, heat transfer mechanism of the quenching surface transforms from nucleate boiling regime to single-phase convective regime.展开更多

The 17 a average global, area-weighted, Schmidt number-corrected mean gas transfer velocity is 21.26 cm/h, and the full exploration of the uncertainty of this estimate awaits further data. The average total CO2 flux （calculated by carbon） from atmosphere to ocean during the 17 a was 2.58 Pg/a. The highest transfer velocity is in the circumpolar current area, because of constant high wind speeds and currents there. This results in strong CO2 fluxes. CO2 fluxes are strong but opposite direction in the equatorial east Pacific Ocean, because the air-sea CO2 partial pressure difference is the largest in the global cceans. The results differ from the previous studies calculated using the wind speed. It is demonstrated that the air-sea transfer velocity is very important for estimating air-sea CO2 flux. It is critical to have an accurate estimation for improving calculation of CO2 flux within climate change studies.展开更多

It was found that the acridine orange （AO） could be adsorbed onto the surface of citrated-gold nanoparticles （AuNPs） through electrostatic interaction. Incidentally, the fluorescence of AO was quenched owing to the dipole-dipole interaction of NSET between AO fluorophore and the AuNPs. However, captopril could obstruct the occurrence of NSET between AO and AuNPs effectively with the formation of Au-S covalent bonds between it and the AuNPs. Consequently, AO molecules were moved away from the surface of AuNPs leading to a decline of the energy transfer efficiency. Moreover, the fluorescence of AO could be gradually restored with the addition of captopril. Under the optimal conditions, the recovered fluorescence intensity correlated linearly with the concentration of captopril in the range of 400 nmol/L-2.0μmol/L with a detection limit of 71 μmol/L. Besides, the proposed method was successfully applied for the detection of captopril in troches with the recovery of 93%-102% and the RSD lower than 2.24%. The results were in good agreement with those obtained from the HPLC method,展开更多

The governing boundary layer equations are transformed into a non-dimensional form by a group of non-similar trans- formations. The resulting coupled non-linear partial differential equations are solved nu- merically by employing the quasi-linearization technique and an implicit finite-difference scheme. Numerical computations are performed for different values of the dimensionless parameters to display the velocity and temperature profiles graphically. Also, numerical results are presented for the skin friction and heat transfer coefficients. Results indicate that the skin friction and heat transfer coefficients increase with non-uniform slot suction, but the effect of non-uniform slot injection is just opposite.展开更多

Among the TMDs, tungsten diselenide （WSe2） exhibits tunable ambipolar transport characteristics and superior optical properties such as high quantum efficiency. Herein, we demonstrate significant enhancement in the device performance of WSe2 phototransistor by in situ surface functionalization with cesium carbonate （Cs2CO3）. WSe2 was found to be strongly doped with electrons after Cs2CO3 modification. The electron mobility of WSe2 increased by almost one order of magnitude after surface functionalization with 1.6-nm-thick Cs2CO3 decoration. Furthermore, the photocurrent of the WSe2-based phototransistor increased by nearly three orders of magnitude with the deposition of 1.6-nm-thick Cs2CO3. Characterizations by in situ photoelectron spectroscopy techniques confirmed the significant surface charge transfer occurring at the Cs2COB/WSe2 interface. Our findings coupled with the tunable nature of the surface transfer doping method establish WSe2 as a promising candidate for future 2D materials- based optoelectronic devices.展开更多

CO2/Ca（OH）2 precipitation reaction was employed to prepare CaCO3 nanoparticles with sodium stearate surfactant. Synthesized CaCO3 products were characterized by ther- mogravimetric analysis （TGA）, infra-red （IR）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM） and Brunauer-Emmet-Teller analysis （BET）. The effect of various operation parameters on nanopar- ticles and the dosage of sodium stearate were determined. The results showed that the preparation process could be precisely controlled with efficient mass transfer process. The particles were highly hydropho- bic with a contact angle of 117~ and monodisperse with an average size of 30 nm. The adsorptions of sodium stearate and calcium ion on solid particles during the in situ surface modification process were investigated.展开更多

文摘Thermal and fluid-flow characteristics were numerically analyzed for ultra-thin heat pipes.Many studies have been conducted for ultra-thin heat pipes with a centered wick structure,but this study focused on separated wick structures to increase the evaporation/condensation surface areas within the heat pipe and to reduce the concentration of heat flux within the wick structure.A mathematical heat-pipe model was made in the threedimensional coordinate system,and the model consisted of three regions:a vapor channel,liquid-wick,and container wall regions.The conservation equations for mass,momentum,and energy were solved numerically with boundary conditions by using a code developed by one of the authors.The numerical results with the separated wick structures were compared with those with the centered,which confirmed the effectiveness of the separation of the wick structure.However,the effectiveness of the separation was affected by the position of the separated wick structure.A simple equation was presented to determine the optimum position of the separated wick structures.Numerical analyses were also conducted when the width of the heat pipe was increased with the cooled section,which clarified that the increase in the cooled-section width with the addition of wick structures wasmore effective than the increase in the cooled-section length.A 44%reduction in the total temperature difference of the heat pipe was obtained under the present numerical conditions.Furthermore,a comparison wasmade between experimental results and numerical results.

文摘Doping of semiconductors,i.e.,accurately modulating the charge carrier type and concentration in a controllable manner,is a key technology foundation for modern electronics and optoelectronics.However,the conventional doping technologies widely utilized in silicon industry,such as ion implantation and thermal diffusion,always fail when applied to two-dimensional(2D)materials with atomically-thin nature.Surface charge transfer doping(SCTD)is emerging as an effective and non-destructive doping technique to provide reliable doping capability for 2D materials,in particular 2D semiconductors.Herein,we summarize the recent advances and developments on the SCTD of 2D semiconductors and its application in electronic and optoelectronic devices.The underlying mechanism of STCD processes on 2D semiconductors is briefly introduced.Its impact on tuning the fundamental properties of various 2D systems is highlighted.We particularly emphasize on the SCTD-enabled high-performance 2D functional devices.Finally,the challenges and opportunities for the future development of SCTD are discussed.

文摘Stepped heating treatment has been applied to aluminum alloy thick plate to improve the mechanical performance and corrosion resistance.Accurate temperature control of the plate is the difficulty in engineering application.The heating process,the calculation of surface heat transfer coefficient and the accurate temperature control method were studied based on measured heating temperature for the large-size thick plate.The results show that,the temperature difference between the surface and center of the thick plate is small.Based on the temperature uniformity,the surface heat transfer coefficient was calculated,and it is constant below300°C,but grows greatly over300°C.Consequently,a lumped parameter method(LPM)was developed to predict the plate temperature.A stepped solution treatment was designed by using LPM,and verified by finite element method(FEM)and experiments.Temperature curves calculated by LPM and FEM agree well with the experimental data,and the LPM is more convenient in engineering application.

文摘In this study,efficient sulfamethoxazole(SMX) degradation was demonstrated in a novel neutral FeredFenton like/oxalate(electro-Fe^2+/PDS/Ox,Fered-FL/Ox) system adopting pre-anodized Ti@Ti02 cathode.Optimization of operational parameters was conducted and the whole reaction mechanism based on the critical solid-liquid interfacial reactions was explored.An efficient neutral heterogeneous-homogenous iron cyclewould exist in the Fered-FL/Ox system,depending on the formation of specific C-O-Ti bonds through the inner sphere surface complex(ISSC) of Fe(C2 O4)3^3-.It would induce ultrafast electron transfer from the cathode to the FeⅢ core,effectively accelerating the neutral Fenton-like reactions and complete mineralization of SMX with relative low dosage of ferrous catalyst and applied voltage.The result of this study is expected to supply a good alternative in treating complex neutral industrial wastewaters.

文摘A simple and sensitive method for detection of captopril was established based on its obstructive effect on nanomaterial sur- face energy transfer （NSET）. It was found that the acridine orange （AO） could be adsorbed onto the surface of citrated-gold nanoparticles （AuNPs） through electrostatic interaction. Incidentally, the fluorescence of AO was quenched owing to the dipole-dipole interaction of NSET between AO fluorophore and the AuNPs. However, captopril could obstruct the occurrence of NSET between AO and AuNPs effectively with the formation of Au-S covalent bonds between it and the AuNPs. Consequently, AO molecules were moved away from the surface of AuNPs leading to a decline of the energy transfer efficiency. Moreover, the fluorescence of AO could be gradually restored with the addition of captopril. Under the optimal conditions, the recovered fluorescence intensity correlated linearly with the concentration of captopril in the range of 400 nmol/L-2.0μmol/L with a detection limit of 71 μmol/L. Besides, the proposed method was successfully applied for the detection of captopril in troches with the recovery of 93%-102% and the RSD lower than 2.24%. The results were in good agreement with those obtained from the HPLC method,
文摘The aim of this work is to study the effect of non-uniform single and double slot suction/injection into a steady mixed convection boundary layer flow over a vertical cone, while the axis of the cone is inline with the flow. The governing boundary layer equations are transformed into a non-dimensional form by a group of non-similar trans- formations. The resulting coupled non-linear partial differential equations are solved nu- merically by employing the quasi-linearization technique and an implicit finite-difference scheme. Numerical computations are performed for different values of the dimensionless parameters to display the velocity and temperature profiles graphically. Also, numerical results are presented for the skin friction and heat transfer coefficients. Results indicate that the skin friction and heat transfer coefficients increase with non-uniform slot suction, but the effect of non-uniform slot injection is just opposite.

文摘Surface charge transfer doping has been widely utilized to tune the electronic and optical properties of semiconductor photodetectors based on low-dimensional materials.Although many studies have been conducted on the performance(response time,responsivity,etc.)of doped photodetectors and their mechanisms,they merely examined a specific thickness and did not systematically explore the dependence of doping effects on the number of layers.This work performs a series of investigations on ReS_(2)photodetectors with different numbers of layers and demonstrates that the p-dopant tetrafluorotetracyanoquinodimethane(F_(4)-TCNQ)converts the deep trap states into recombination centers for few-layer ReS_(2)and induces a vertical p-n junction for thicker ReS_(2).A response time of 200 ms is observed in the decorated 2-layer ReS_(2)photodetector,more than two orders of magnitude faster than the response of the pristine photodetector,due to the disappearance of deep trap states.A current rectification ratio of 30 in the F_(4)-TCNQ-decorated sandwiched ReS_(2)device demonstrates the formation of a vertical p-n junction in a thicker ReS_(2)device.The responsivity is as high as 2,000 A/W owing to the strong carrier separation of the p-n junction.Different thicknesses of ReS_(2)enable switching of the prominent operating mechanism between transforming deep trap states into recombination centers and forming a vertical p-n junction.The thicknessdependent doping effect of a two-dimensional material serves as a new mechanism and provides a scheme toward improving the performance of other semiconductor devices,especially optical and electronic devices based on low-dimensional materials.

文摘The buried interface defects severely affect the further enhancements of efficiency and stability of SnO_(2)-based planar perovskite solar cells(PSCs).To well tackle this problem,we propose a passivation strategy employing NH_(4)PF_6 to modify the buried interface of perovskite layer((FAPbI_(3))_(0.85)(MAPbBr_(3))_(0.15) composition) in planar PSCs.After introducing NH_(4)PF_(6),the oxygen defects on the surface of SnO_(2) film are greatly restricted due to the coordinate interaction between fluorine atoms(F) in PF_(6)^(-)and undercoordinated Sn^(4+).Meanwhile,the hydrogen bonding interaction(N-H…I) between NH_(4)PF_(6) and PbI_(2) can passivate the non-radiative charge recombination sites,significantly optimizing the quality of perovskite film,as well as the charge transfer process at the SnO_(2)/perovskite interface.As a result,the NH_(4)PF_(6)-modified PSC obtains a champion power conversion efficiency(PCE) of 21.11%superior to the reference device(18.46%),and the device with an active area of 1 cm^(2) achieves a PCE as high as17.38%.Furthermore,the unencapsulated NH_(4)PF_(6)-modified PSCs show good humidity stability and retain about80% of the initial PCE after 1080 h aging at the relative humidity(RH) of 35% ± 5%.
文摘This study deals with the turbulent structure in the surface layer over the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau.Using gradient transfer and heat balance methods we have determined the nondimensional coefficient 1/(?)_m(?)h in the expression of turbulent transfer coefficient for sensible heat (K_h).It is found that the results are in good agreement with the 1/(?)_m(?)_h obtained by Pruitt,et al.The K_h at a height of 1m under cloudy and cloudless conditions is calculated.Finally,the ratio of K_h to momentum turbulent coefficient over the plateau is compared with those over plains.

文摘Two-dimensional （2D） layered transition metal dichalcogenides （TMDs） have attracted enormous research interests and efforts towards the development of versatile electronic and optical devices, owing to their extraordinary and unique fundamental properties and remarkable prospects in nanoelectronic applications. Among the TMDs, tungsten diselenide （WSe2） exhibits tunable ambipolar transport characteristics and superior optical properties such as high quantum efficiency. Herein, we demonstrate significant enhancement in the device performance of WSe2 phototransistor by in situ surface functionalization with cesium carbonate （Cs2CO3）. WSe2 was found to be strongly doped with electrons after Cs2CO3 modification. The electron mobility of WSe2 increased by almost one order of magnitude after surface functionalization with 1.6-nm-thick Cs2CO3 decoration. Furthermore, the photocurrent of the WSe2-based phototransistor increased by nearly three orders of magnitude with the deposition of 1.6-nm-thick Cs2CO3. Characterizations by in situ photoelectron spectroscopy techniques confirmed the significant surface charge transfer occurring at the Cs2COB/WSe2 interface. Our findings coupled with the tunable nature of the surface transfer doping method establish WSe2 as a promising candidate for future 2D materials- based optoelectronic devices.

文摘Herein,a pair of hydrazone-linked covalent organic frameworks(COFs)were constructed with identical main-chain backbone and distinctive side chains(denoted as BTB-COF and BTD-COF),respectively.With H_(2)PtCl6 as the co-catalyst precursor,BTD-COF with ethoxy side chains demonstrated superior photocatalytic H_(2) production performance yielding 3708μmol·g^(−1)·h^(−1) under visible light irradiation,which was 3.0 times higher than that of its analogue BTB-COF with thioether side chains(1236μmol·g^(−1)·h^(−1)).Comprehensive studies on the composites of platinum nanoparticles(Pt NPs)with COFs after photocatalytic H_(2) generation had revealed the impacts of side chains on the photocatalytic process and the anchoring of Pt NPs within COFs.By contrast with the divalent oxidized-state of Pt on BTB-COF,Pt NPs anchored on BTD-COF existed as metallic Pt^(0) with an uniform size of 2.7 nm,agreeing well with the diameter of pore channels.The nature of metallic Pt^(0) NP was greatly beneficial for the surface charge transfer process and had consequently enhanced the photogenerated carrier separation efficiency,which was supported by the density functional theory calculations.This work elucidates the impacts of side chains on the H_(2) generation performance of COFs under visible light,which will further spur the structural evolution of functional COFs materials.

文摘Doping with impurity defects or sustained multi-terminal external electric fields can enhance performance of artificial optoelectronic synapses based on two-dimensional materials.But doping causes varying degrees of damage to the original lattice structure,while external fields would increase additional power consumption.Here,we demonstrate an effective surface charge transfer doping approach sensitive to air that facilitates the fabrication of reconfigurable MoS_(2)/MoTe_(2)devices.MoS_(2)/MoTe_(2)undergoes electron transfer with surface-adsorbed O_(2)/H_(2)O,resulting in varying degrees of p-type doping that affects the Schottky barrier and the built-in electric field strength at the PN junction.The doping level can be reconstructed by a brief gate bias resulting in controllable photocurrent.Due to the conduction of the reverse PN junction,the low dark current and high photoelectric response result in an extremely low power consumption per detectable spike(0.73 pJ),and stability is maintained during an 80,000 s reconstruction process.Notably,hardware-level self-noise reduction is achieved through feature-based long/short-term memory,and recognition accuracy on the processed Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology(MNIST)dataset improved 39%.The unique photo-electro co-modulation strategy paves a promising path for future development of artificial vision systems.

文摘Doping can improve the band alignment at the metal-semiconductor interface to modify the corresponding Schottky barrier,which is crucial for the realization of high-performance logic components.Here,we systematically investigated a convenient and effective method,ultraviolet ozone treatment,for p-type doping of MoTe2 field-effect transistors to enormously enhance the corresponding electrical performance.The resulted hole concentration and mobility are near 100 times enhanced to be〜1.0×10^13 cm^-2 and 101.4 cm^2/(V·s),respectively,and the conductivity is improved by 5 orders of magnitude.These values are comparable to the highest ones ever obtained via annealing doping or non-lithographic fabrication methods at room temperature.Compared with the pristine one,the photoresponsivity(522 mA/W)is enhanced approximately 100 times.Such excellent performances can be attributed to the sharply reduced Schottky barrier because of the surface charge transfer from MoTe2 to MoOx(x<3),as proved by photoemission spectroscopy.Additionally,the p-doped devices exhibit excellent stability in ambient air.Our findings show significant potential in future nanoelectronic and optoelectronic applications.

文摘This study presents a novel process of in situ surface modification ofCaCO3 nanoparticles using a multiple- orifice dispersion microreactor. CO2/Ca（OH）2 precipitation reaction was employed to prepare CaCO3 nanoparticles with sodium stearate surfactant. Synthesized CaCO3 products were characterized by ther- mogravimetric analysis （TGA）, infra-red （IR）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM） and Brunauer-Emmet-Teller analysis （BET）. The effect of various operation parameters on nanopar- ticles and the dosage of sodium stearate were determined. The results showed that the preparation process could be precisely controlled with efficient mass transfer process. The particles were highly hydropho- bic with a contact angle of 117~ and monodisperse with an average size of 30 nm. The adsorptions of sodium stearate and calcium ion on solid particles during the in situ surface modification process were investigated.
