文摘There is an urgent need for the application of broadband Microwave Absorption(MA)structures on the leading edges of aircraft wings,which requires the MA structures to possess both the broadband MA performance and great surface conformability.To meet these requirements,we designed and fabricated a flexible bioinspired meta-structure with ultra-broadband MA,thin thickness and excellent surface conformality.The carbonyl iron powder-carbon nanotubes-polydimethylsiloxane composite was synthesized by physical blending method for fabricating the MA meta-structure.Through geometry-electromagnetic optimal design by heuristic optimization algorithm,the meta-structure mimicking to the nipple photonic nanostructures on the eyes of moth can achieve ultra-broadband MA performance of 35.14 GHz MA bandwidth(reflection loss≤–10 dB),covering 4.86–40.00 GHz,with thickness of only 4.3 mm.Through simple fabrication processes,the meta-structure has been successfully fabricated and bonded on wings’leading edges,exhibiting excellent surface conformability.Furthermore,the designed flexible MA meta-structure possesses significant Radar Cross-Section(RCS)reduction capability,as demonstrated by the RCS analysis of an unmanned aerial vehicle.This flexible ultra-broadband MA meta-structure provides an outstanding candidate to meet the radar stealth requirement of variable curvature structures on aircraft.

文摘Flexible wearable optoelectronic devices fabricated fromorganic–inorganic hybrid perovskites significantly accelerate the developmentof portable energy,biomedicine,and sensing fields,but their poor thermal stabilityhinders further applications.Conversely,all-inorganic perovskites possessexcellent thermal stability,but black-phase all-inorganic perovskite filmusually requires high-temperature annealing steps,which increases energy consumptionand is not conducive to the fabrication of flexible wearable devices.In this work,an unprecedented low-temperature fabrication of stable blackphaseCsPbI3perovskite films is demonstrated by the in situ hydrolysis reactionof diphenylphosphinic chloride additive.The released diphenyl phosphateand chloride ions during the hydrolysis reaction significantly lower the phasetransition temperature and effectively passivate the defects in the perovskitefilms,yielding high-performance photodetectors with a responsivity of 42.1 AW−1 and a detectivity of 1.3×10^(14)Jones.Furthermore,high-fidelity imageand photoplethysmography sensors are demonstrated based on the fabricated flexible wearable photodetectors.This work provides a newperspective for the low-temperature fabrication of large-area all-inorganic perovskite flexible optoelectronic devices.

文摘van der Waals(vdW)heterostructures constructed by lowdimensional(0D,1D,and 2D)materials are emerging as one of the most appealing systems in next-generation flexible photodetection.Currently,hand-stacked vdW-type photodetectors are not compatible with large-areaarray fabrication and show unimpressive performance in self-powered mode.Herein,vertical 1D GaN nanorods arrays(NRAs)/2D MoS_(2)/PEDOT:PSS in wafer scale have been proposed for self-powered flexible photodetectors arrays firstly.The as-integrated device without external bias under weak UV illumination exhibits a competitive responsivity of 1.47 A W^(−1)and a high detectivity of 1.2×10^(11)Jones,as well as a fast response speed of 54/71μs,thanks to the strong light absorption of GaN NRAs and the efficient photogenerated carrier separation in type-II heterojunction.Notably,the strain-tunable photodetection performances of device have been demonstrated.Impressively,the device at−0.78%strain and zero bias reveals a significantly enhanced photoresponse with a responsivity of 2.47 A W^(−1),a detectivity of 2.6×10^(11)Jones,and response times of 40/45μs,which are superior to the state-of-the-art self-powered flexible photodetectors.This work presents a valuable avenue to prepare tunable vdWs heterostructures for self-powered flexible photodetection,which performs well in flexible sensors.

文摘Customer segmentation according to load-shape profiles using smart meter data is an increasingly important application to vital the planning and operation of energy systems and to enable citizens’participation in the energy transition.This study proposes an innovative multi-step clustering procedure to segment customers based on load-shape patterns at the daily and intra-daily time horizons.Smart meter data is split between daily and hourly normalized time series to assess monthly,weekly,daily,and hourly seasonality patterns separately.The dimensionality reduction implicit in the splitting allows a direct approach to clustering raw daily energy time series data.The intraday clustering procedure sequentially identifies representative hourly day-unit profiles for each customer and the entire population.For the first time,a step function approach is applied to reduce time series dimensionality.Customer attributes embedded in surveys are employed to build external clustering validation metrics using Cramer’s V correlation factors and to identify statistically significant determinants of load-shape in energy usage.In addition,a time series features engineering approach is used to extract 16 relevant demand flexibility indicators that characterize customers and corresponding clusters along four different axes:available Energy(E),Temporal patterns(T),Consistency(C),and Variability(V).The methodology is implemented on a real-world electricity consumption dataset of 325 Small and Medium-sized Enterprise(SME)customers,identifying 4 daily and 6 hourly easy-to-interpret,well-defined clusters.The application of the methodology includes selecting key parameters via grid search and a thorough comparison of clustering distances and methods to ensure the robustness of the results.Further research can test the scalability of the methodology to larger datasets from various customer segments(households and large commercial)and locations with different weather and socioeconomic conditions.

文摘For rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries(ZIBs),the design of nanocomposites comprised of electrochemically active materials and carbon materials with novel structures has great prom-ise in addressing the issue of electrical conductivity and structural stability in the electrode materials during electrochemical cycling.We report the production of a novel flexible electrode material,by anchoring MnO_(2) nanosheets on a B,N co-doped carbon nanotube ar-ray(BNCNTs)grown on carbon cloth(BNCNTs@MnO_(2)),which was fabricated by in-situ pyrolysis and hydrothermal growth.The generated BNCNTs were strongly bonded to the surface of the car-bon fibers in the carbon cloth which provides both excellent elec-tron transport and ion diffusion,and improves the stability and dur-ability of the cathode.Importantly,the BNCNTs offer more active sites for the hydrothermal growth of MnO_(2),ensuring a uniform dis-tribution.Electrochemical tests show that BNCNTs@MnO_(2) delivers a high specific capacity of 310.7 mAh g^(−1) at 0.1 A g^(−1),along with excellent rate capability and outstanding cycling stability,with a 79.7% capacity retention after 8000 cycles at 3 A g^(−1).

文摘This paper aims to design a morphing wing with both Flexible Leading Edge(FLE)and Flexible Trailing Edge(FTE)by using cellular structures,which can help the wing boost the deformation to a greater extent on the premise that the weight is not changed,so as to play a greater role in aerodynamic control such as gust interference.First,as for structural design,based on NACA0012,a morphing wing model constructed by 3 forms of cell structures is proposed.Then,the aerodynamic characteristics under the interference of FLE and FTE are calculated by the Computational Fluid Dynamic(CFD)method.After the surrogate model is established to predict the lift coefficient of the wing effectively,the sensitivity analysis reveals that the main sensitivity index of FTE deflection angle β is 0.565,which has the greatest influence on the lift coefficient.And the total sensitivity index of FLE deflection angle γ is increased by 78.9%,which reveals a strong coupling relationship between FLE and FTE.Finally,using Finite Element Analysis(FEA)method and experiment,the deformation capability of the model under certain static loads are obtained.The results reveal that the maximum deflection angle of the morphing wing model can be±22°at FLE and±64°at FTE,indicating strong structural stiffness and resistance to bending breakage of the model.The presented results can be useful in the design of the cellular morphing wing with multiple flexible systems.
