A novel strategy characterized by simplicity, stability, and high efficiency is developed to significantly boost the PEC performance of TiO_(2) (anatase) nanotube arrays (TNTAs). This strategy entails a series of treatments, including a conventional anodic oxidation (etching) process, a primary annealing treatment, and a secondary annealing treatment via impregnation. As a result, nickel phosphide (Ni_(2)P) is composited onto well-ordered titanium dioxide (anatase) nanotube array photoanodes (Ni_(2)P/TNTAs), which exhibit hugely improved PEC H_(2) generation performance. A thorough and systematic investigation is conducted to comprehensively analyze the morphology, semiconductor band-gap structure, and PEC H_(2) production performance of the Ni_(2)P/TNTAs composites. The experimental results demonstrate that under identical experimental circumstances, the measured photocurrent density of the Ni_(2)P/TNTAs photoanode exhibits a 6.63-fold increase relative to that of TNTAs. The H_(2) production rate of Ni_(2)P/TNTAs reaches 182.96 μmol/cm^(2), 6.10 times higher than that of pure TNTAs. The excellent interfacial charge transfer pathway at the Ni_(2)P/TiO_(2) interface promotes photogenerated carrier separation and electron transfer from TiO_(2) to Ni_(2)P. This method offers a valuable reference for designing highly efficient PEC H_(2)-production catalysts.展开更多

This paper proposes a MS source location method based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) and multi-sensor arrays, where a free weight joints the P-wave first arrival data. This method adaptively adjusts the preference for “superior” arrays and leverages “inferior” arrays to escape local optima, thereby improving the location accuracy. The effectiveness and stability of this method were validated through synthetic tests, pencil-lead break (PLB) experiments, and mining engineering applications. Specifically, for synthetic tests with 1 μs Gaussian noise and 100 μs large noise in rock samples, the location error of the multi-sensor arrays jointed location method is only 0.30 cm, which improves location accuracy by 97.51% compared to that using a single sensor array. The average location error of PLB events on three surfaces of a rock sample is reduced by 48.95%, 26.40%, and 55.84%, respectively. For mine blast event tests, the average location error of the dual sensor arrays jointed method is 62.74 m, 54.32% and 14.29% lower than that using only sensor arrays 1 and 2, respectively. In summary, the proposed multi-sensor arrays jointed location method demonstrates good noise resistance, stability, and accuracy, providing a compelling new solution for MS location in relevant mining scenarios.展开更多

X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and current-voltage （I-V） curve were used to characterize the structure, morphologies and optoelectronic properties. The results demonstrated that ZnO NRs had wurtzite structures, the morphologies and photovoltaic properties of ZnO NRs were closely related to the concentration of KOH and etching time, well-aligned and uniformly distributed ZnO NRs were obtained after etching with 0.1 mol/L KOH for 1 h. ZnO NRs treated by KOH had been proved to have superior photovoltaic properties compared with high density ZnO NRs. When using ZnO NRs etched with 0.1 mol/L KOH for 1 h as the anode of solar cell, the conversion efficiency, short circuit current and open circuit voltage, compared with the unetched ZnO NRs, increased by 0.71%, 2.79 mA and 0.03 V, respectively.展开更多

The characterization of （c）-Riordan arrays by means of the A- and Z-sequences is given, which corresponds to a horizontal construction of a （c）-Riordan array rather than its definition approach through column generating functions. There exists a one-to-one correspondence between GegenbauerHumbert-type polynomial sequences and the set of （c）-Riordan arrays, which generates the sequence characterization of Gegenbauer-Humbert-type polynomial sequences. The sequence characterization is applied to construct readily a （c）-Riordan array. In addition, subgrouping of （c）-Riordan arrays by using the characterizations is discussed. The （c）-Bell polynomials and its identities by means of convolution families are also studied. Finally, the characterization of （c）-Pdordan arrays in terms of the convolution families and （c）-Bell polynomials is presented.展开更多

The average nanotube diameter and length was 100 nm and 5 μm,respectively. The different amount of octahedral Cu2 O modified TNTs were obtained by varying electrochemical deposition time. TNTs modified with an optimized amount of Cu2 O nanoparticles exhibited high efficiency in the photocatalysis,and the predominant hydrocarbon product was methane. The methane yield increased with increasing Cu2 O content of the catalyst up to a certain deposition time,and decreased with further increase in Cu2 O deposition time. Insufficient deposition time（5 min） resulted in a small amount of Cu2 O nanoparticles on the TNTs,leading to the disadvantage of harvesting light. However,excess deposition time（45 min） gave rise to entire TNT surface being most covered with Cu2 O nanoparticles with large sizes,inconvenient for the transport of photo-generated carriers. The highest methane yield under simulated solar and visible light irradiation was observed for the catalysts prepared at a Cu2 O deposition time of 15 and 30 min respectively. The morphology,crystallization,photoresponse and electrochemical properties of the catalyst were characterized to understand the mechanism of its high photocatalytic activity. The TNT structure provided abundant active sites for the adsorption of reactants,and promoted the transport of photogenerated carriers that improved charge separation. Modifying the TNTs with octahedral Cu2 O nanoparticles promoted light absorption,and prevented the hydrocarbon product from oxidation. These factors provided the Cu2O-modified TNT photocatalyst with high efficiency in the reduction of CO2,without requiring co-catalysts or sacrificial agents.展开更多

For the synthesis of thinned arrays with a given thinning rate, it would have almost the same Msll solution between taking only segmental aperture nearby both ends of the aperture into account and taking all the aperture into account. In this paper, the element distribution characteristic over the aperture of many optimum thinned arrays is studied, then the aperture release model is founded by the least square method to synthesize the thinned arrays. This model is vital for the computing burden alleviation and the efficiency optimization, and would hardly bring any degradation of the obtained array performance.展开更多

文摘Photoelectrochemical (PEC) hydrogen production holds great promise for applications in energy production. A novel strategy characterized by simplicity, stability, and high efficiency is developed to significantly boost the PEC performance of TiO_(2) (anatase) nanotube arrays (TNTAs). This strategy entails a series of treatments, including a conventional anodic oxidation (etching) process, a primary annealing treatment, and a secondary annealing treatment via impregnation. As a result, nickel phosphide (Ni_(2)P) is composited onto well-ordered titanium dioxide (anatase) nanotube array photoanodes (Ni_(2)P/TNTAs), which exhibit hugely improved PEC H_(2) generation performance. A thorough and systematic investigation is conducted to comprehensively analyze the morphology, semiconductor band-gap structure, and PEC H_(2) production performance of the Ni_(2)P/TNTAs composites. The experimental results demonstrate that under identical experimental circumstances, the measured photocurrent density of the Ni_(2)P/TNTAs photoanode exhibits a 6.63-fold increase relative to that of TNTAs. The H_(2) production rate of Ni_(2)P/TNTAs reaches 182.96 μmol/cm^(2), 6.10 times higher than that of pure TNTAs. The excellent interfacial charge transfer pathway at the Ni_(2)P/TiO_(2) interface promotes photogenerated carrier separation and electron transfer from TiO_(2) to Ni_(2)P. This method offers a valuable reference for designing highly efficient PEC H_(2)-production catalysts.

文摘The anisotropic Dicke model offers a platform for the exploration of numerous quantum many-body phenomena.Here,we propose a Floquet-engineered scheme to realize such a system with strong dipole-dipole interactions using Rydberg atom arrays in an optical cavity.By periodically modulating the microwave fields,the anisotropic parameter can be precisely controlled and tuned between zero and one,enabling the system to transition smoothly from being purely dominated by rotating-wave terms to being exclusively governed by counter-rotating wave excitations.Leveraging this tunability,we demonstrate enhanced preparation of adiabatic superradiant and superradiant solid phases where symmetryprotected energy gaps suppress undesired level crossings.Our approach,combining Rydberg interactions and cavitymediated long-range correlations,establishes a versatile framework for the quantum simulation of light-matter interactions and the exploration of exotic many-body phases.

文摘Microseismic (MS) source location plays an important role in MS monitoring. This paper proposes a MS source location method based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) and multi-sensor arrays, where a free weight joints the P-wave first arrival data. This method adaptively adjusts the preference for “superior” arrays and leverages “inferior” arrays to escape local optima, thereby improving the location accuracy. The effectiveness and stability of this method were validated through synthetic tests, pencil-lead break (PLB) experiments, and mining engineering applications. Specifically, for synthetic tests with 1 μs Gaussian noise and 100 μs large noise in rock samples, the location error of the multi-sensor arrays jointed location method is only 0.30 cm, which improves location accuracy by 97.51% compared to that using a single sensor array. The average location error of PLB events on three surfaces of a rock sample is reduced by 48.95%, 26.40%, and 55.84%, respectively. For mine blast event tests, the average location error of the dual sensor arrays jointed method is 62.74 m, 54.32% and 14.29% lower than that using only sensor arrays 1 and 2, respectively. In summary, the proposed multi-sensor arrays jointed location method demonstrates good noise resistance, stability, and accuracy, providing a compelling new solution for MS location in relevant mining scenarios.

文摘Low power consumption,high responsivity,and self-powering are key objectives for photoelectrochemical ultravio-let detectors.In this research,In-dopedα-Ga_(2)O_(3) nanowire arrays were fabricated on fluorine-doped tin oxide(FTO)substrates through a hydrothermal approach,with subsequent thermal annealing.These arrays were then used as photoanodes to con-struct a ultraviolet(UV)photodetector.In doping reduced the bandgap ofα-Ga_(2)O_(3),enhancing its absorption of UV light.Conse-quently,the In-dopedα-Ga_(2)O_(3) nanowire arrays exhibited excellent light detection performance.When irradiated by 255 nm deep ultraviolet light,they obtained a responsivity of 38.85 mA/W.Moreover,the detector's response and recovery times are 13 and 8 ms,respectively.The In-dopedα-Ga_(2)O_(3) nanowire arrays exhibit a responsivity that is about three-fold higher than the undoped one.Due to its superior responsivity,the In-doped device was used to develop a photoelectric imaging system.This study demonstrates that dopingα-Ga_(2)O_(3) nanowire with indium is a potent approach for optimizing their photoelectrochemi-cal performance,which also has significant potential for optoelectronic applications.
文摘Ordered NiCo_(2)O_(4)/rGO nanowire arrays(NWAs)grown on a Ni foam substrate were synthesized using a template-free hydrothermal method and employed as an electrode with outstanding electrochemical properties for supercapacitors.After conducting a series of time-variable controlled experiments,the structure,morphology,and electrochemical properties of NiCo_(2)O_(4)/rGO NWAs were analyzed to find the most suitable growth time.Benefited from such unique array architectures,the designed NiCo_(2)O_(4)/rGO NWAs electrode demonstrates significant electrochemical properties,showing a specific capacitance of 2418 F·g^(-1)at a charge-discharge current density of 1 A·g^(-1).Moreover,it demonstrates exceptional stability,maintaining a capacity retention of 81.5%after undergoing 2,000 cycles,even when subjected to a current density of 10 A·g^(-1).The reason of high stability is that the spacing between the nanowire arrays is large and the diffusion resistance of the electrolyte is significantly reduced,which facilitates the diffusion of the electrolyte into the interior of the electrodes and establishes an effective contact with the surface of the nanowires.Furthermore,the NiCo_(2)O_(4)/rGO nanowire array grows directly on the Ni foam without binder,which establishes rapid electron transport pathways on the Ni foam substrate,resulting in excellent electrochemical properties.

文摘Ethylene glycol oxidation reaction(EGOR)is important to address the environmental issues caused by the increased production of polyethylene terephthalate(PET).Metal organic frameworks(MOFs)with superior stability,high specific surface area and excellent catalytic performance can convert PET into valuable products through EGOR and hydrogen evolution reaction(HER).Herein,a microbial template strategy was adopted to prepare carbon sphere-supported orthogonal nanosheet bimetallic MOF catalysts.The prepared catalyst needs only 1.42 V,307 mV,and 1.83 V at a current density of 100 mA cm^(-2) for EGOR,HER,and EGOR//HER,respectively.More importantly,it can stably perform for at least 160 h at a current density of 500 mA cm^(-2).The high specific surface area of bimetallic MOF and the synergistic effect of yeast carbon shell increase the contact area between the intrinsic active sites and*OH and EG,thus improving the EGOR and HER catalytic activity and stability.This work provides a novel strategy to construct bimetallic orthogonal electrocatalysts with efficient HER//EGOR performance,which is of great significance for achieving sustainable energy conversion and environmental purification.

文摘ZnO nanorod arrays （NRs） were synthesized on the fluorine-doped SnO2 transparent conductive glass （FTO） by a simple chemical bath deposition （CBD） method combined with alkali-etched method in potassium hydroxide （KOH） solution. X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and current-voltage （I-V） curve were used to characterize the structure, morphologies and optoelectronic properties. The results demonstrated that ZnO NRs had wurtzite structures, the morphologies and photovoltaic properties of ZnO NRs were closely related to the concentration of KOH and etching time, well-aligned and uniformly distributed ZnO NRs were obtained after etching with 0.1 mol/L KOH for 1 h. ZnO NRs treated by KOH had been proved to have superior photovoltaic properties compared with high density ZnO NRs. When using ZnO NRs etched with 0.1 mol/L KOH for 1 h as the anode of solar cell, the conversion efficiency, short circuit current and open circuit voltage, compared with the unetched ZnO NRs, increased by 0.71%, 2.79 mA and 0.03 V, respectively.
文摘Here presented are the definitions of （c）-Riordan arrays and （c）-Bell polynomials which are extensions of the classical Riordan arrays and Bell polynomials. The characterization of （c）-Riordan arrays by means of the A- and Z-sequences is given, which corresponds to a horizontal construction of a （c）-Riordan array rather than its definition approach through column generating functions. There exists a one-to-one correspondence between GegenbauerHumbert-type polynomial sequences and the set of （c）-Riordan arrays, which generates the sequence characterization of Gegenbauer-Humbert-type polynomial sequences. The sequence characterization is applied to construct readily a （c）-Riordan array. In addition, subgrouping of （c）-Riordan arrays by using the characterizations is discussed. The （c）-Bell polynomials and its identities by means of convolution families are also studied. Finally, the characterization of （c）-Pdordan arrays in terms of the convolution families and （c）-Bell polynomials is presented.

文摘A photocatalyst composed of TiO 2 nanotube arrays（TNTs） and octahedral Cu2 O nanoparticles was fabricated,and its performance in the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 under visible and simulated solar irradiation was studied. The average nanotube diameter and length was 100 nm and 5 μm,respectively. The different amount of octahedral Cu2 O modified TNTs were obtained by varying electrochemical deposition time. TNTs modified with an optimized amount of Cu2 O nanoparticles exhibited high efficiency in the photocatalysis,and the predominant hydrocarbon product was methane. The methane yield increased with increasing Cu2 O content of the catalyst up to a certain deposition time,and decreased with further increase in Cu2 O deposition time. Insufficient deposition time（5 min） resulted in a small amount of Cu2 O nanoparticles on the TNTs,leading to the disadvantage of harvesting light. However,excess deposition time（45 min） gave rise to entire TNT surface being most covered with Cu2 O nanoparticles with large sizes,inconvenient for the transport of photo-generated carriers. The highest methane yield under simulated solar and visible light irradiation was observed for the catalysts prepared at a Cu2 O deposition time of 15 and 30 min respectively. The morphology,crystallization,photoresponse and electrochemical properties of the catalyst were characterized to understand the mechanism of its high photocatalytic activity. The TNT structure provided abundant active sites for the adsorption of reactants,and promoted the transport of photogenerated carriers that improved charge separation. Modifying the TNTs with octahedral Cu2 O nanoparticles promoted light absorption,and prevented the hydrocarbon product from oxidation. These factors provided the Cu2O-modified TNT photocatalyst with high efficiency in the reduction of CO2,without requiring co-catalysts or sacrificial agents.

文摘In symmetrical thinned linear arrays design, the positions of thinned array elements are very important for optimal performance in terms of its minimum peak side lobe level （Msli）. For the synthesis of thinned arrays with a given thinning rate, it would have almost the same Msll solution between taking only segmental aperture nearby both ends of the aperture into account and taking all the aperture into account. In this paper, the element distribution characteristic over the aperture of many optimum thinned arrays is studied, then the aperture release model is founded by the least square method to synthesize the thinned arrays. This model is vital for the computing burden alleviation and the efficiency optimization, and would hardly bring any degradation of the obtained array performance.

文摘The problem of joint direction of arrival(DOA)and polarization estimation for polarization sensitive coprime planar arrays(PS-CPAs)is investigated,and a fast-convergence quadrilinear decomposition approach is proposed.Specifically,we first decompose the PS-CPA into two sparse polarization sensitive uniform planar subarrays and employ propagator method(PM)to construct the initial steering matrices separately.Then we arrange the received signals into two quadrilinear models so that the potential DOA and polarization estimates can be attained via quadrilinear alternating least square(QALS).Subsequently,we distinguish the true DOA estimates from the approximate intersecting estimations of the two subarrays in view of the coprime feature.Finally,the polarization estimates paired with DOA can be obtained.In contrast to the conventional QALS algorithm,the proposed approach can remarkably reduce the computational complexity without degrading the estimation performance.Simulations demonstrate the superiority of the proposed fast-convergence approach for PS-CPAs.
