Therefore, they are widely used in energy-related optoelectronic applications such as photovoltaics and photoelectrochemical（PEC） fuel generation. In this review, we mainly discuss the structure engineering and defect control of oxides for energy applications, especially for transparent conducting oxides（TCOs） and oxide catalysts used for water splitting. We will review our current understanding with an emphasis on the contributions of our previous theoretical modeling, primarily based on density functional theory. In particular, we highlight our previous work：（i） the fundamental principles governing the crystal structures and the electrical and optical behaviors of TCOs;（ii） band structures and defect properties for n-type TCOs;（iii） why p-type TCOs are difficult to achieve;（iv） how to modify the band structure to achieve p-type TCOs or even bipolarly dopable TCOs;（v） the origin of the high-performance of amorphous TCOs; and（vi） band structure engineering of bulk and nano oxides for PEC water splitting. Based on the understanding above, we hope to clarify the key issues and the challenges facing the rational design of novel oxides and propose new and feasible strategies or models to improve the performance of existing oxides or design new oxides that are critical for the development of next-generation energy-related applications.展开更多

Due to the careless consideration of construction reasons, social and natural factors, the foundations of individual wind turbine generators have quality defects and common diseases in varying degrees. This paper will propose a simple and quick reinforcement method based on the analysis and research on the repair and reinforcement of the foundation construction quality defects of a plain wind turbine generator, which has achieved good results, and will control the defects in the future foundation construction process in various ways to avoid affecting the subsequent operation of the wind turbine.展开更多

Analyses showed that thermal stress formed during the heating process due to the thermal expansion coefficient differential between the coating and the substrate, and volume effect caused by the crystal transferred when the temperature changed, which resulted in the coating crack and exfoliation. The gas produced by the reactions between components and binder or the components themselves during the heating process caused the coating blistering. The EMPA and XRD analyses show that oxides with low melting point in the penetrating area of the substrate may form eutectic with low melting point and produced thermal defects, which leads to the erosion by penetrating to the substrate. The valent changes of Fe2O3 and MnO2 during the heating process cause the volatilization of the oxides or the pulverization of the coatings, resulting in the coating fades away easily at high temperature for a long time.展开更多
