However, the Li/O loss and Li/Ni mixing under high-temperature lithiation result in electrochemical kinetic hysteresis and structural instability. Herein, we report a highly-ordered single-crystalline LiNi0.85Co0.05Mn0.10O2(NCM85) cathode by doping K+and F-ions. To be specific, the K-ion as a fluxing agent can remarkably decrease the solid-state lithiation temperature by ~30°C, leading to less Li/Ni mixing and oxygen vacancy. Meanwhile, the strong transitional metal(TM)-F bonds are helpful for enhancing de-/lithiation kinetics and limiting the lattice oxygen escape even at 4.5 V high-voltage. Their advantages synergistically endow the single-crystalline NCM85 cathode with a very high reversible capacity of 222.3 mAh g-1. A superior capacity retention of 91.3% is obtained after 500 times at 1 C in pouch-type full cells, and a prediction value of 75.3% is given after cycling for 5000 h. These findings are reckoned to expedite the exploitation and application of high-voltage single-crystalline Ni-rich cathodes for next-generation Li-ion batteries.展开更多

文摘Modal parameters can accurately characterize the structural dynamic properties and assess the physical state of the structure.Therefore,it is particularly significant to identify the structural modal parameters according to the monitoring data information in the structural health monitoring(SHM)system,so as to provide a scientific basis for structural damage identification and dynamic model modification.In view of this,this paper reviews methods for identifying structural modal parameters under environmental excitation and briefly describes how to identify structural damages based on the derived modal parameters.The paper primarily introduces data-driven modal parameter recognition methods(e.g.,time-domain,frequency-domain,and time-frequency-domain methods,etc.),briefly describes damage identification methods based on the variations of modal parameters(e.g.,natural frequency,modal shapes,and curvature modal shapes,etc.)and modal validation methods(e.g.,Stability Diagram and Modal Assurance Criterion,etc.).The current status of the application of artificial intelligence(AI)methods in the direction of modal parameter recognition and damage identification is further discussed.Based on the pre-vious analysis,the main development trends of structural modal parameter recognition and damage identification methods are given to provide scientific references for the optimized design and functional upgrading of SHM systems.

文摘Although the Mg-air battery with high theoretical energy density is desirable for the energy supply of marine engineering equipment,its applications remain limited due to the low actual discharge voltage and inferior Mg anode utilization rate.In addition to the microstructure of Mg alloy anodes,the properties of discharge product films are of great importance to the discharge performance.Herein,the discharge behaviors of Mg-Y-Zn alloys are first studied mainly from the perspective of film properties.Through contrastive analysis,it is found that the sufficient Y^(3+) produced during the discharge process can substitute Mg^(2+) in Mg(OH)_(2) to introduce effective cation vacancies.The Mg-Y-Zn anode with profuse cation vacancies in the product film shows a synergy of potential and efficiency,and this can be attributed to an increase in the migration pathway for Mg^(2+),reducing the diffusion over-potential caused by the protective product film.This study is expected to provide a new strategy from the perspective of cation vacancy design of discharge film for developing high-performance Mg-air batteries.

文摘The development of flexible zinc-ion batteries(ZIBs)faces a threeway trade-off among the ionic conductivity,Zn^(2+)mobility,and the electrochemical stability of hydrogel electrolytes.To address this challenge,we designed a cationic hydrogel named PAPTMA to holistically improve the reversibility of ZIBs.The long cationic branch chains in the polymeric matrix construct express pathways for rapid Zn^(2+)transport through an ionic repulsion mechanism,achieving simultaneously high Zn^(2+)transference number(0.79)and high ionic conductivity(28.7 mS cm−1).Additionally,the reactivity of water in the PAPTMA hydrogels is significantly inhibited,thus possessing a strong resistance to parasitic reactions.Mechanical characterization further reveals the superior tensile and adhesion strength of PAPTMA.Leveraging these properties,symmetric batteries employing PAPTMA hydrogel deliver exceeding 6000 h of reversible cycling at 1 mA cm^(−2) and maintain stable operation for 1000 h with a discharge of depth of 71%.When applied in 4×4 cm2 pouch cells with MnO_(2) as the cathode material,the device demonstrates remarkable operational stability and mechanical robustness through 150 cycles.This work presents an eclectic strategy for designing advanced hydrogels that combine high ionic conductivity,enhanced Zn^(2+)mobility,and strong resistance to parasitic reactions,paving the way for long-lasting flexible ZIBs.

文摘Cation segregation on cathode surfaces plays a key role in determining the activity and operational stability of solid oxide fuel cells(SOFCs).The double perovskite oxide PrBa_(0.8)Ca_(0.2)Co_(2)O_(5+δ)(PBCC)has been widely studied as an active cathode but still suffer from serious detrimental segregations.To enhance the cathode stability,a PBCC derived A-site medium-entropy Pr_(0.6)La_(0.1)Nd_(0.1)Sm_(0.1)Gd_(0.1)Ba_(0.8)Ca_(0.2)Co_(2)O_(5+δ)(ME-PBCC)oxide was prepared and its segregation behaviors were investigated under different conditions.Compared with initial PBCC oxide,the segregations of BaO and Co_(3)O_(4)on the surface of ME-PBCC material are significantly suppressed,especially for Co_(3)O_(4),which is attributed to its higher configuration entropy.Our results also confirm the improved electrochemical performance and structural stability of ME-PBCC material,enabling it as a promising cathode for SOFCs.
文摘Oxygen evolution reaction(OER)is often regarded as a crucial bottleneck in the field of renewable energy storage and conversion.To further accelerate the sluggish kinetics of OER,a cation and anion modulation strategy is reported here,which has been proven to be effective in preparing highly active electrocatalyst.For example,the cobalt,sulfur,and phosphorus modulated nickel hydroxide(denoted as NiCoPSOH)only needs an overpotential of 232 mV to reach a current density of 20 mA cm^(–2),demonstrating excellent OER performances.The cation and anion modulation facilitates the generation of high-valent Ni species,which would activate the lattice oxygen and switch the OER reaction pathway from conventional adsorbate evolution mechanism to lattice oxygen mechanism(LOM),as evidenced by the results of electrochemical measurements,Raman spectroscopy and differential electrochemical mass spectrometry.The LOM pathway of NiCoPSOH is further verified by the theoretical calculations,including the upshift of O 2p band center,the weakened Ni–O bond and the lowest energy barrier of rate-limiting step.Thus,the anion and cation modulated catalyst NiCoPSOH could effectively accelerate the sluggish OER kinetics.Our work provides a new insight into the cation and anion modulation,and broadens the possibility for the rational design of highly active electrocatalysts.

文摘The implementation of ultrahigh-Ni cathodes in high-energy lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)is constrained by significant structural and interfacial degradation during cycling.In this study,doping-induced surface restructuring in ultrahigh-nickel cathode materials is rapidly facilitated through an ultrafast Joule heating method.Density functional theory(DFT)calculations,synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy(XAS),and single-particle force test confirmed the establishment of a stable crystal framework and lattice oxygen,which mitigated H2-H3 phase transitions and improved structural reversibility.Additionally,the Sc doping process exhibits a pinning effect on the grain boundaries,as shown by scanning transmission electron microscopy(STEM),enhancing Li~+diffusion kinetics and decreasing mechanical strain during cycling.The in situ development of a cation-mixing layer at grain boundaries also creates a robust cathode/electrolyte interphase,effectively reducing interfacial parasitic reactions and transition metal dissolution,as validated by STEM and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry(TOF-SIMS).These synergistic modifications reduce particle cracking and surface/interface degradation,leading to enhanced rate capability,structural integrity,and thermal stability.Consequently,the optimized Sc-modified ultrahigh-Ni cathode(Sc-1)exhibits 93.99%capacity retention after 100 cycles at 1 C(25℃)and87.06%capacity retention after 100 cycles at 1 C(50℃),indicating excellent cycling and thermal stability.By presenting a one-step multifunctional modification approach,this research delivers an extensive analysis of the mechanisms governing the structure,microstructure,and interface properties of nickel-rich layered cathode materials(NCMs).These results underscore the potential of ultrahigh-Ni cathodes as viable candidates for advanced lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)in next-generation electric vehicles(EVs).

文摘All-inorganic lead-free Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6) double perovskite is a promising semiconductor for photodetection in daily life due to its outstanding photoelectrical properties,non-toxicity,and high stability.Compared with its organic-inorganic hybrid analogs,the fabrication method for Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6) is not well developed.Solution-processed Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6) films usually exhibit loosened morphology with small grains,many pin-holes,and abundant nonradiative defects.In particular,the disordered arrangements of Ag/Bi cations are thermodynamically favorable in Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6),which contribute to the formation of self-trapped excitons and heavily restrict charge transport.Here in this work,a modified green antisolvent engineering strat-egy with phenethyl-ammonium bromide(PEABr)dissolved isopropyl alcohol(IPA)solution is developed to prepare high-quality Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6) films.The PEABr/IPA treatment results in compact morphology with enlarged grains and promotes the ordered arrangements of Ag/Bi cations with improved charge transport.Through optimization,the target self-powered photodetector exhibits a responsivity of 0.38 AW−1,a spe-cific detectivity of 1.9×10^(12) Jones,a response time of 54/63μs,and a linear dynamic range of 107 dB,which is among the best-performing self-powered photodetectors based on lead-free perovskites.Our work thus provides a facile and green fabrication method for high-performance optoelectronic devices based on eco-friendly Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6).
文摘Posaconazole(PCZ)is a broad-spectrum anti-fungal drug approved by FDA and currently used off-label for the treatment of fungal keratitis(FK).Although ocular route serves as the most bioavailable route for treating FK,delivery of PCZ to the eye remains a challenge due to poor permeation though the cornea and rapid elimination from the eye.Here we outline a comprehensive formulation development process,beginning with in silico studies,progressing through in vitro evaluations,and ultimately achieving therapeutic benefits in vivo.We report modified niosome-like surfactant vesicles,hereafter termed as NioTherms,formulated using a novel and simple heat-mix method,encapsulating PCZ for ocular administration in the form of an in situ gel.Excipient screening performed using in silico simulations highly correlate with in vitro studies(R^(2)=0.77),guiding optimization by Quality by Design(QbD)approach for encapsulating PCZ in NioTherms resulting in particles with an average size of 180.7±2.3 nm,zeta potential of +27.5±2.2 mV and entrapment efficiency of 87.6%±1.7%.A 2-fold increase in both mucin binding and cellular uptake indicates a functional role of positive surface charge in enhancingmucoadhesive properties of PCZ-NioTherms.In an in vivo murine ocular keratitis model,we demonstrate a 2-fold enhancement in trans-corneal permeability of PCZ-NioTherms and a 3-fold reduction in fungal burden compared to the control standard of care,the PCZ solution.Owing to a facile formulation process,we anticipate that PCZ-NioTherms would serve as a clinically translatable and patient compliant therapeutic intervention for treating FK.
文摘In order to find the optimal anions and cations for designing energetic salts with excellent detonation properties,the properties of 140 salts formed from the anions(A–G)of 3,3′-dinitroamino-4,4′-azoxyfurazan(DAAF)derivatives substituted with the—NH_(2),—N_(3) or—NO_(2) group and the cations(1–20)of guanidine,triazole,or tetrazole derivatives were investigated by means of density-functional theory.The predicted densities,heats of formation,detonation velocities(D),and detonation pressures(P)of 140 salts were 11.72 to 2.06 g·cm ^(−3),570.2 to 2333.4 kJ·mol^(−1),8.29 to 10.02 km·s^(−1) and 30.16 to 47.57 GPa,respectively.Most of the salts had better detonation properties than the widely used hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine(RDX).Salts containing—NO_(2) group anions(C and F)have better detonation properties(D is 8.88 to 10.02 km·s^(−1) and P is 35.75 to 47.75 GPa)than other salts.Salts containing the cations NH_(4)^(+)(1),NH_(3)OH^(+)(2)and CH_(2)N_(4)NO_(2)^(+)(20)had good detonation properties(D is 9.38 to 10.02 km·s^(−1) and P is 40.72 to 47.75 GPa).Depending on the detonation properties,anions(C and F)and cations(1,2 and 20)are the recommended ions for the generation of energetic salts.

文摘Developing cost-effective single-crystalline Ni-rich Co-poor cathodes operating at high-voltage is one of the most important ways to achieve higher energy Li-ion batteries. However, the Li/O loss and Li/Ni mixing under high-temperature lithiation result in electrochemical kinetic hysteresis and structural instability. Herein, we report a highly-ordered single-crystalline LiNi0.85Co0.05Mn0.10O2(NCM85) cathode by doping K+and F-ions. To be specific, the K-ion as a fluxing agent can remarkably decrease the solid-state lithiation temperature by ~30°C, leading to less Li/Ni mixing and oxygen vacancy. Meanwhile, the strong transitional metal(TM)-F bonds are helpful for enhancing de-/lithiation kinetics and limiting the lattice oxygen escape even at 4.5 V high-voltage. Their advantages synergistically endow the single-crystalline NCM85 cathode with a very high reversible capacity of 222.3 mAh g-1. A superior capacity retention of 91.3% is obtained after 500 times at 1 C in pouch-type full cells, and a prediction value of 75.3% is given after cycling for 5000 h. These findings are reckoned to expedite the exploitation and application of high-voltage single-crystalline Ni-rich cathodes for next-generation Li-ion batteries.

文摘Incorporating organic bulky cations in the precursor or post-treatment to achieve two-dimensional/thr ee-dimensional(2D/3D)heterojunction is an effective strategy for enhancing the stability of perovskite materials.However,the issue of insufficient charge transport in 2D perovskites limits their development,and the fundamental mechanism of out-of-plane carrier transport remains unclear.This study designed and synthesized seven organic phenyl-core cations,differentiated at the 1-and 1,4-positions,and identified the impacts on the corresponding properties of the 2D crystalline perovskite.Shorter cations facilitated a more compact arrangement of adjacent inorganic layers,aligning to favor charge transport along the vertical direction.In addition,introducing high electronegativity led to increased intermolecular interactions,resulting in enhanced structural stability and improved phenyl ring π-orbital overlap and interlayer electron coupling,yielding efficient charge transport.Resilience to thermal stressing of the perovskite was strongly correlated with the carbon chain length of the spacer cations.The increase in cation length and the reduction in the rigidity of the amino-terminal both aided in the dispersion of thermal stress in the inorganic framework.Additional hydrogen bonding also contributed to mitigating structural disorder.

文摘Transition metal carbonates(TMCs)hold great potential as high-performance electrodes for alkali metal-ion batteries,owing to multiple-ion storage mechanisms involving conversion process and electrocatalytic reaction.However,they still suffer from inferior electronic conductivity and volume variation during delithiation/lithiation.Heterostructure and heteroatoms doping offer immense promise in enhancing reaction kinetics and structural integrity,which unfortunately have not been achieved in TMCs.Herein,a unique TMCs heterostructure with Ni-doped MnCO_(3)as“core”and Mn-doped NiCO_(3)as“shell”,which is wrapped by graphene(NM@MN/RGO),is achieved by cations differentiation strategy.The formation process for core-shell NM@MN consists of epitaxial growth of NiCO_(3)from MnCO_(3)and synchronously mutual doping,owing to the similar crystal structures but different solubility product constant/formation energy of MnCO_(3)and NiCO_(3).In-situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,galvanostatic intermittent titration technique,differential capacity versus voltage plots,theoretical calculation and kinetic analysis reveal the superior electrochemical activity of the NM@MN/RGO to MnCO_(3)/RGO.The NM@MN/RGO shows excellent lithium storage properties(1013.4 mAh·g^(-1)at 0.1 A·g^(-1)and 760 mAh·g^(-1)after 1000 cycles at 2 A·g^(-1))and potassium storage properties(capacity decay rate of 0.114 mAh·g^(-1)per cycle).This work proposes an efficient cation differentiation strategy for constructing advanced TMC electrodes.

文摘The first-ever synthesis of the unknown furo[2,3:4,5]pyrimido[1,2-b]indazole skeleton was demonstrated based on the undiscovered tetra-functionalization of enaminones,with simple substrates and reaction conditions.The key to realizing this process lies in the multiple trapping of the in situ generated ketenimine cation by the 3-aminoindazole,which results in the formation of four new chemical bonds and two new rings in one pot.Moreover,the products of this new reaction were found to exhibit aggregationinduced emission(AIE)without modification.
