It was concluded that: ① the charge density decreases steadily from the end near the frontal electrode to the bomb tail; ② the declining rate of the density is governed by d 0/L , the larger the value of d 0/L ,the higher the declining rate, and vice versa.展开更多

文摘Vanadium nitride(VN)is a promising pseudocapacitive material due to the high theoretical capacity,rapid redox Faradaic kinetics,and appropriate potential window.Although VN shows large pseudocapacitance in alkaline electrolytes,the electrochemical instability and capacity degradation of VN electrode materials present significant challenges for practical applications.Herein,the capacitance decay mechanism of VN is investigated and a simple strategy to improve cycling stability of VN supercapacitor electrodes is proposed by introducing VO_(4)^(3-)anion in KOH electrolytes.Our results show that the VN electrode is electrochemical stabilization between-1.0and-0.4 V(vs.Hg/Hg O reference electrode)in 1.0 MKOH electrolyte,but demonstrates irreversible oxidation and fast capacitance decay in the potential range of-0.4 to0 V.In situ electrochemical measurements reveal that the capacitance decay of VN from-0.4 to 0 V is ascribed to the irreversible oxidation of vanadium(V)of N–V–O species by oxygen(O)of OH^(-).The as-generated oxidization species are subsequently dissolved into KOH electrolytes,thereby undermining the electrochemical stability of VN.However,this irreversible oxidation process could be hindered by introducing VO_(4)^(3-)in KOH electrolytes.A high volumetric specific capacitance of671.9 F.cm^(-3)(1 A.cm^(-3))and excellent cycling stability(120.3%over 1000 cycles)are achieved for VN nanorod electrode in KOH electrolytes containing VO_(4)^(3-).This study not only elucidates the failure mechanism of VN supercapacitor electrodes in alkaline electrolytes,but also provides new insights into enhancing pseudocapacitive energy storage of VN-based electrode materials.

文摘Noise is inevitable in electrical capacitance tomography(ECT)measurements.This paper describes the influence of noise on ECT performance for measuring gas-solids fluidized bed characteristics.The noise distribution is approximated by the Gaussian distribution and added to experimental capacitance data with various intensities.The equivalent signal strength(Ф)that equals the signal-to-noise ratio of packed beds is used to evaluate noise levels.Results show that the Pearson correlation coefficient,which indicates the similarity of solids fraction distributions over pixels,increases with Ф,and reconstructed images are more deteriorated at lower Ф.Nevertheless,relative errors for average solids fraction and bubble size in each frame are less sensitive to noise,attributed to noise compromise caused by the process of pixel values.These findings provide useful guidance for assessing the accuracy of ECT measurements of multiphase flows.

文摘During oilfield development,a comprehensive model for assessing inter-well connectivity and connected volume within reservoirs is crucial.Traditional capacitance(TC)models,widely used in inter-well data analysis,face challenges when dealing with rapidly changing reservoir conditions over time.Additionally,TC models struggle with complex,random noise primarily caused by measurement errors in production and injection rates.To address these challenges,this study introduces a dynamic capacitance(SV-DC)model based on state variables.By integrating the extended Kalman filter(EKF)algorithm,the SV-DC model provides more flexible predictions of inter-well connectivity and time-lag efficiency compared to the TC model.The robustness of the SV-DC model is verified by comparing relative errors between preset and calculated values through Monte Carlo simulations.Sensitivity analysis was performed to compare the model performance with the benchmark,using the Qinhuangdao Oilfield as a case study.The results show that the SV-DC model accurately predicts water breakthrough times.Increases in the liquid production index and water cut in two typical wells indicate the development time of ineffective circulation channels,further confirming the accuracy and reliability of the model.The SV-DC model offers significant advantages in addressing complex,dynamic oilfield production scenarios and serves as a valuable tool for the efficient and precise planning and management of future oilfield developments.

文摘Zn-ion hybrid supercapacitors(ZHSCs),as emerging energy storage systems,combine high energy and power density with cost-effectiveness and safety,attracting significant attention.However,due to the inherent energy storage mechanism and the diminishing marginal benefits of increased porosity on capacitance,engineering porous nanostructures to develop carbon materials with ideal architectures is crucial for achieving high performance.Herein,a novel web-in-web porous carbon/carbon nanotubes(CNTs)composite has been proposed,fabricated by a simple phase separation method and two-step carbonization.During pre-oxidation,gradual air oxidation induces the formation of an O,N co-doped polymer-chain template,which subsequently transforms into a graphitized web during high-temperature carbonization.The optimized web-in-web structure,enriched with abundant active sites,accelerates mass transport and charge transfer kinetics.When assembled in ZHSCs,the web-in-web cathode achieved a high area capacitance(14,309 mF cm^(-2))with high mass loading(38.2 mg cm^(-2)).It delivered excellent high-rate performance at 50 mA cm^(-2)with a capacitance retention of 83%after 10,000 cycles,also boosting a high energy density(1452.7μWh cm^(-2))and power density(30.8 mW cm^(-2)).Furthermore,ex situ characterization and in situ electrochemical analyses reveal hybrid energy storage mechanisms,involving both physical/chemical adsorption and precipitation/dissolution across different potential regions.This study provides a promising strategy for designing high-area-capacitance carbon cathodes boosting high-performance ZHSCs.

文摘Neodymium chromium oxide(NdCrO_(3))and NdCrO_(3)/graphene oxide(GO)nanocomposite were synthesized via sol-gel and co-precipitation techniques for being used in high-perfo rmance supercapacitors and for the possible application in ultraviolet(UV)materials.Herein the systematic synthesis approach was adopted,which enhances the optical and electrical properties of the grown wide band-gap composite nanomaterial.Structural characterization of the grown materials was attempted using X-ray diffraction(XRD)and scanning electron microscopy(SEM).Most importantly the electrochemical analysis of the grown samples was carried out by employing a glassy carbon electrode and 3 mol/L KOH electrolyte,which demonstrates significant improvements in a specific capacitance of approximately360 F/g,an energy density of approximately 18 Wh/kg,and a maximum power density of approximately 257 W/kg,respectively.Moreover,NdCrO_(3)/GO nanocomposite maintains a cyclic stability of 97.6%after4000 cycles.Photoluminescence(PL)spectroscopy confirms the wide bandgap nature of the NdCrO_(3)and NdCrO_(3)/GO nanocomposite,indicating its potential application in UVC devices.These findings emphasize the potential of the NdCrO_(3)/GO nanocomposite in advancing efficient energy storage solutions and the possibility of being used in UVC technology.

文摘The negative ion based neutral beam injector(NNBI)with a beam energy of 400 keV is one of the subsystems at the Comprehensive Research fAcility for Fusion Technology(CRAFT)in China.The distributed capacitance of the high-voltage components is an important basis for the design of surge suppression devices at CRAFT NNBI.This study conducted calculations of distributed capacitance for the key components,including the high-voltage deck,transmission line and isolation transformer in the power supply system using the finite element method.The relationship between the high-voltage deck(HVD)distributed capacitance and the distance from the wall is discussed.The differences in distributed capacitance and energy storage between noncoaxial and coaxial transmission lines are also debated.Finally,the capacitance between the primary and secondary windings of the-400 kV isolation transformer,as well as between the secondary winding and the oil tank casing,was calculated.

文摘Raw water temperature can fluctuate significantly throughout the year,with peaks above 30℃in summer and below 15℃in winter.Traditional desalination systems(e.g.,reverse osmosis,RO)face challenges under these varying temperature conditions.Specifically,while the RO system performs well under high temperatures,its efficiency decreases sharply at lower temperatures.Membrane capacitive deionization(MCDI)is considered as an emergent and promising technology for brackish water desalination.While plenty of studies have been devoted to investigating the impacts of raw water properties(e.g.,salinity,coexisting ions,and natural organic matter)on MCDI performance,the role of water temperatures during the desalination remains under-explored.In this study,we first tested and determined the optimized MCDI operation parameters,such as the cell voltage and feedwater flow rate.Key findings showed that MCDI’s salt removal efficiency remains unaffected by feedwater temperature fluctuations.However,as feedwater temperature increases from 15℃to 40℃,the specific energy consumption for desalination slightly rises by 16.3%,and current efficiency drops by 14.1%.Compared to RO systems,the resilience of MCDI to temperature fluctuations makes it a preferable choice for brackish water treatment in areas with a large temperature difference.
文摘A distributed capacitance model for monolithic inductors is developed to predict the equivalently parasitical capacitances of the inductor.The ratio of the self-resonant frequency (f SR) of the differential-driven symmetric inductor to the f SR of the single-ended driven inductor is firstly predicted and explained.Compared with a single-ended configuration,experimental data demonstrate that the differential inductor offers a 127% greater maximum quality factor and a broader range of operating frequencies.Two differential inductors with low parasitical capacitance are developed and validated.
文摘In view of drastic possible changes in fuze environment tempera- ture,a kind of temperature autocompensated detecting circuit for the capaci- tance fuze is proposed.It provides a steady detected output when the envi- ronment temperature varies from-50℃ to 65℃ and keeps a stable detecting sensitivity.Based on an analysis of the circuit,influence of the major param- eters of the oscillating circuit on the amplitude are explored.A few impor- tant controllable parameters affecting the circuit feature are found out.A parameter-control method is given in order to improve the circuit perfor- mance.
文摘For establishing the equation of the capacitive target detection accurately, the distributing characteristics of the charges on the bomb body with capacitance fuze were explored. Continuous charges were analyzed dispersively. Based on the Coulomb's law, the dynamic equilibrium equations of the inducing charges on the bomb body were set up. For the four cases of d 0/L (the ratio between the electrode distance and the bomb length), the curves of the charge's distribution were given. It was concluded that: ① the charge density decreases steadily from the end near the frontal electrode to the bomb tail; ② the declining rate of the density is governed by d 0/L , the larger the value of d 0/L ,the higher the declining rate, and vice versa.
文摘For a detector in a capacitanee fuze working in an electrostatic field, the bomblength (effective length of the conductor part) is an important factor affecting the sensitivityof detection. For the two different kinds of detecting circuit models in general use (the frequency-sensitive and the amplitude-coupling ), mechanism of the effect of bomblength on the sensitvity of detection is analyzed. Through the analysis a conclusion in fullagreement with experimental results has been drawn, that is. the longer the bomb length,the higher the sensitivity, on the condition that the sizes and the sites of the detecting electrodes and bomb diameter remain unchanged.
文摘The finite element method is first introduced into the design process of detecting electrodes of three electrode capacitance fuze, the mutual capacitance of the fuze and target is calculated by the finite element method, which provides the parameters for simulation circuit and design of detecting electrode. The finite element method pierces the traditional method of designing detecting electrode-design, test and adjustment. The system capacitance can be calculated accurately and the performance can be predicted in the design period of the detecting electrode, which saves a lot of research fee. The capacitances of a mortar shell fuze above ground 2 m and lower are given. After putting the computing data into simulating circuit, the demodulation voltage can be obtained, its changing trend is in agreement with the tested result.

文摘A nanocomposite of nickel oxide/carbon nanotubes was prepared through a simple chemical precipitation followed by thermal annealing. The electrochemical capacitance of this electrode material was studied. When the mass fraction of CNTs (carbon nanotubes) in NiO/CNT composites increases, the electrical resistivity of nanocomposites decreases and becomes similar to that of pure CNTs when it reaches 30%. The specific surface area of composites increases with increasing CNT mass fraction and the specific capacitance reaches 160 F/g under 10 mA/g discharge current density at CNT mass fraction of 10%.
