文摘NiFe layered double hydroxide(NiFe LDH)has emerged as a promising catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction(OER);however,its hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)activity remains suboptimal due to unfavorable electronic structures,particularly the d-electron density of metal sites,which impede water dissociation and lead to poor hydrogen adsorption/desorption capabilities.Herein,we introduce an efficient cooperative d-electron density regulation(CDDR)engineering to comprehensively optimize the delectron density of NiFe LDH by grafting MoO_(x) -modified NiFe LDH nanosheets onto porous nickel particles(PNPs).The PNPs facilitate d-electron density modulation along the edges of the nanosheets,while the MoO_(x) species enable d-electron density modulation across the plane of the nanosheets,thus cooperatively constructing enriched d-electron density in NiFe LDH.Theoretical studies validate the CDDR process and reveal that the enriched d-electron density accelerates water dissociation and optimizes the hydrogen adsorption behavior of NiFe LDH.As a result,the engineered catalyst exhibits significantly improved HER activity,achieving an ultra-low overpotential of 38 mV at 10 mA cm^(-2)in 1 M KOH.Additionally,the CDDR-optimized catalyst also exhibits good OER performance,demonstrating excellent bifunctional performance for overall water splitting in both alkaline freshwater and seawater electrolytes.This work presents a novel CDDR strategy for engineering NiFe LDH into efficient HER catalysts without compromising its OER activity,potentially paving the way for the development of active and robust electrocatalysts for sustainable energy applications.

文摘Wing design is a critical factor in the aerodynamic performance of flapping-wing(FW)robots.Inspired by the natural wing structures of insects,bats,and birds,we explored how bio-mimetic wing vein morphologies,combined with a bio-inspired double wing clap-and-fling mechanism,affect thrust generation.This study focused on increasing vertical force and payload capacity.Through systematic experimentation with various vein configurations and structural designs,we developed innovative wings optimized for thrust production.Comprehensive tests were conducted to measure aerodynamic forces,power consumption,and wing kinematics across a range of flapping frequencies.Additionally,wings with different aspect ratios,a key factor in wing design,were fabricated and extensively evaluated.The study also examined the role of bio-inspired vein layouts on wing flexibility,a critical component in improving flight efficiency.Our findings demonstrate that the newly developed wing design led to a 20%increase in thrust,achieving up to 30 g-force(gf).This research sheds light on the clap-and-fling effect and establishes a promising framework for bio-inspired wing design,offering significant improvements in both performance and payload capacity for FW robots.

文摘A method for the effective in-situ formation of boron-containing Mg-Al layered double hydroxides(LDHs)was developed for boron removal and stabilization.The influence of the B/Al molar ratio and pH on the formation of Mg-Al-B–LDHs was investigated.Compared with the adsorption method,under a high B/Al ratio,the coprecipitation method increased the boron sorption density from 0.256 to 0.472 of Al.The Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure showed that the boron-coprecipitated LDHs exhibited higher stability than the boron-adsorption LDHs.The synthesized LDH samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,and solid-state 11B-NMR.The results showed that boron was effectively incorporated into the LDH structure for the coprecipitation method.Combined with the experimental results,a potential in-situ formation pathway for Mg-Al-B–LDHs was elucidated through density functional theory calculations.The boron tended to directly incorporate into the LDH structure in the coprecipitation method,whereas it was predominantly adsorbed on the LDH surface in the adsorption method.The adsorption energy demonstrated that boron preferentially bonded to Mg^(2+)sites on the surface.The mechanism of boron incorporation in the LDHs for the coprecipitation method involved precipitation of amorphous aluminum hydroxide,layered boehmite transformation,nucleation,and layer stacking.During these processes,boron formed complexes to enhance its stability.Residual boron underwent further reactions with the LDHs,including surface adsorption and ion exchange.These findings provide theoretical insight into the effective removal and long-term immobilization of boron in landfill leachate self-remediation processes.

文摘Owing to its excellent eco-friendliness and facile water elution properties,aluminum-based lithium adsorbents have attracted a surge of interest for selectively extracting Li^(+)from Salt Lake brines,which account for more than 60%of the global lithium resources.However,structural collapse,facile deactivation during desorption process,and ultra-low actual adsorption capacity limit its further large-scale application,particularly in low-grade sulfate-type brines.Herein,considering its advantages,limitations,and structural features,the structural collapse of the aluminum-based lithium adsorbent was effectively suppressed by the in situ intercalation of VO_(3)^(-)and V_(2)O_(7)^(4-)into the interlayer of[LiAl_(2)(OH)_(6)]^(+).Evidently,the initial adsorption capacity andα_(Mg)^(Li)of as-configured adsorbents powder are 14.96 mg g^(-1) and 192.42 in real sulfate-type West Taijinar Salt Lake brines following NaCl salts removal with 800 mg L^(-1) Li^(+)and 9.56 g L^(-1) SO_(4)^(2-).Furthermore,the initial and retained adsorption capacities of these novel adsorbents granulate in brines after 100 adsorption/desorption cycles are 26.68 and 10.36 mg g^(-1),respectively,which are almost 10 times higher than those of industrially utilized products.Based on experiments and density functional theory calculations,the process and mechanism of anion intercalation control were preliminarily elucidated.Furthermore,research findings indicate that intercalated anions can influence not only interlayer interactions but also the backbone strength of LDH-type adsorbents.This work significantly overcomes the major utilization challenges of aluminum-based lithium adsorbents,thereby enabling the high-efficiency and stable extraction of Li^(+)from low-grade brines,including sulfate-type brines.

文摘This paper is concerned with adaptive consensus tracking control of nonlinear multi-agent systems with actuator faults and unknown nonidentical control directions under double semi-Markovian switching topologies.Considering the complex working environment and the stability differences in communication links between leaders and followers,a double semi-Markov process is first introduced to describe the random switching of communication topologies in the leader-follower structure.In order to address challenges from the unknown nonidentical control directions and partial loss of effectiveness actuator faults,a completely independent parameter is introduced into the Nussbaum function to overcome the inherent obstacle of mutual cancellation and avoid the rapid growth rate.Considering only the state information of agents is transmitted among the agents,an adaptive distributed fault-tolerant consensus tracking control is proposed based on the double semi-Markovian switching topologies using the designed Nussbaum function.Furthermore,the stability of the closed-loop nonlinear multi-agent systems is analyzed using contradiction argument and Lyapunov theorem,from which the asymptotic consensus tracking in mean square sense can be obtained.A numerical simulation example is provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

文摘Inclusive green growth(IGG)is a crucial pathway to high-quality economic development,with standardization serving as a key enabler.Standardization plays a critical role in reducing coordination costs and improving resource allocation efficiency by facilitating rule harmonization,factor integration,and collaborative governance.Examining IGG from a standardization perspective helps clarify the mechanisms through which economic,environmental,and social objectives can be jointly realized,and offers new insights into the institutionalized and sustainable pursuit of multiple development goals.However,how standardization promotes IGG by coordinating economic growth,environmental performance,and social equity remains insufficiently explored in the existing literature.Using panel data from 283 prefecture-level Chinese cities(2012-2021),this study treats the comprehensive standardization reform pilot as a quasi-natural experiment and applies a double machine-learning framework to test whether standardization promotes IGG.The analysis further explores the mediating roles of technological innovation,green finance,and employment quality,and examines heterogeneity across geographic location,resource endowment,industrial base,and city hierarchy.It also evaluates the regional coordination effects of standardization.Results show that standardization significantly advances IGG,though its impact varies by regional and structural characteristics.Standardization enhances IGG by strengthening innovation,expanding green finance,and improving job quality.Moreover,it helps bridge geographic divides,narrow interregional disparities,and enhance coordination.These findings offer empirical evidence for policymakers to design targeted standardization strategies that support sustainable and equitable urban development.

文摘Self-trapped excitons(STEs),known for their unique radiative properties,have been harnessed in diverse photonic devices;however,their comprehensive understanding and manipulation remain elusive.In this study,we present novel experimental and theoretical evidence revealing the hybrid nature and optical tunability of STE state in Cs_(2)Ag_(0.4)Na_(0.6)InCl_(6).The detection of the Fano resonance in laser energy-dependent Raman and photoluminescence spectra indicates the emergence of an exciton-phonon hybrid state,arising from robust quantum interference between the discrete phonon and continuum exciton states.Moreover,we demonstrate continuous tuning of this hybrid state with the energy and intensity of the laser field.These findings lay the foundation for a comprehensive understanding of the nature of STE and their potential for state control.

文摘Soft X-ray detectors play a vital role in materials science,high-energy physics and medical imaging.Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6),a lead-free double perovskite,has gained attention for its excellent optoelectronic properties,stability,and nontoxicity.However,its fast crystallization and requirement for high-temperature annealing(>250℃)often lead to inferior film quality,limiting its application in flexible devices.This study introduces an alloying strategy that significantly improves the quality of Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6)thin films annealed at a reduced temperature of 150℃.Devices based on the alloyed thin films exhibit an ultra-low dark current of 0.32 nA·cm^(-2)and a quantum efficiency of 725%.Furthermore,the first successful integration of Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6)with a thinfilm transistor backplane demonstrates its superior imaging performance,indicating that Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6)is a promising material for next-generation soft X-ray sensors.

文摘Abiotic oxygen formation predates photosynthesis,sustaining early chemical evolution,yet its elementary mechanisms remain contested.Here,we show the production pathways for molecular oxygen from doubly ionized carbon dioxide upon electron-impact.Through fragment ions and electron coincidence momentum imaging,we unambiguously determine the ionization mechanism by measuring the projectile energy loss in association with the C^(+) +O_(2)^(+) channel.Further potential energy and trajectory calculations enable us to elucidate the dynamical details of this fragmentation process,in which a bond rearrangement pathway is found to proceed via the structural deformation to a triangular intermediate.Moreover,we demonstrate a further roaming pathway for the formation of O_(2)^(+) from CO_(2)^(+) 2,in which a frustrated C-O bond cleavage leaves the O atom without sufficient energy to escape.The O atom then wanders around varied configuration spaces of the flat potential energy regions and forms a C-O-O_(2)^(+) intermediate prior to the final products C^(+) +O_(2)^(+).Considering the large quantities of free electrons in interstellar space,the processes revealed here are expected to be significant and should be incorporated into atmospheric evolution models.

文摘The integration of phase change material(PCM)with building-integrated photovoltaic(BIPV)presents a compelling approach to enhance solar energy utilization and mitigate indoor thermal loads,contributing to energy-efficient and low-carbon building development.Traditional BIPV-PCM structures,however,struggle to balance PV efficiency and thermal insulation,particularly with varying PCM wall positions.To address this situation,this study introduces a novel double-PCM BIPV composite envelope(BIPV-dPCM).An experimentally validated dynamic heat transfer model was developed and used to perform a comparative simulation analysis with three reference systems to quantify the energy-saving potential of the BIPV-dPCM,focusing on PV output and wall insulation effectiveness metrics.Further dimensionless parametric analysis were carried out to investigate the systematic performance of the two PCMs at different relativities.In addition,the coupled working mechanism of the BIPV-dPCM system concerning the power generation performance and thermal insulation performance under transient variations is explored.It was found that the BIPV-dPCM showcases superior thermoelectric coupling performance compared to three alternative enclosures.Incorporating two PCMs significantly enhances electrical exergy efficiency by 11.66%and thermal exergy efficiency by 1.54%,surpassing other reference systems.The increase in PCM latent heat ratio has a limited effect on performance gain.Notably,as the PCM thickness ratio exceeds 1,the decline in P value decelerates,for every 0.5 increment in the g,the P value diminishes by merely 0.2%.The ideal h is identified between 1 and 1.5,with 1.5 being optimal for energy conservation objectives.Additionally,the self-sufficiency coefficient(SSC)of the BIPV-dPCM remains robust,sustaining a range of 55%to 65%over prolonged periods.This study offers novel perspectives and serves as a design reference for optimizing building energy systems and enhancing cooling efficiencies in subtropical climates.

文摘The electric double layer(EDL)at the electrochemical interface is crucial for ion transport,charge transfer,and surface reactions in aqueous rechargeable zinc batteries(ARZBs).However,Zn anodes routinely encounter persistent dendrite growth and parasitic reactions,driven by the inhomogeneous charge distribution and water-dominated environment within the EDL.Compounding this,classical EDL theory,rooted in meanfield approximations,further fails to resolve molecular-scale interfacial dynamics under battery-operating conditions,limiting mechanistic insights.Herein,we established a multiscale theoretical calculation framework from single molecular characteristics to interfacial ion distribution,revealing the EDL’s structure and interactions between different ions and molecules,which helps us understand the parasitic processes in depth.Simulations demonstrate that water dipole and sulfate ion adsorption at the inner Helmholtz plane drives severe hydrogen evolution and by-product formation.Guided by these insights,we engineered a“water-poor and anion-expelled”EDL using 4,1’,6’-trichlorogalactosucrose(TGS)as an electrolyte additive.As a result,Zn||Zn symmetric cells with TGS exhibited stable cycling for over 4700 h under a current density of 1 mA cm^(−2),while NaV_(3)O_(8)·1.5H_(2)O-based full cells kept 90.4%of the initial specific capacity after 800 cycles at 5 A g^(−1).This work highlights the power of multiscale theoretical frameworks to unravel EDL complexities and guide high-performance ARZB design through integrated theory-experiment approaches.

文摘Time-delayed blasting is widely utilized in engineering to mitigate induced vibration hazards and enhance fragmentation.The underlying vibration reduction principle is the decrease of the charge weight per delay,while the potential for further vibration reduction remains debated,largely due to unclear underlying mechanisms.In light of the popularization of electronic detonators and the representativeness of double-hole configurationsfor multiple blastholes,it is essential to investigate the vibration characteristics induced by time-delayed double blastholes.Therefore,a series of doubleborehole experimental blasts was conducted in an underground roadway to clarify the variation in vibration from single-hole to dual-hole conditions.Based on the experimental data and inherent limitations,an exact full-fieldtheoretical model was further employed to systematically analyze the effects of delay time,charge length,and borehole inclination angle on vibrations induced by various doublehole configurations.The experimental data and theoretical analysis reveal that the general scaled distance effectively predicts vibrations in delayed blasting but does not reflectvibration reduction.Increasing delay time causes fluctuatingPPVs,which stabilize slightly above single-hole PPVs as delay times exceed a certain value.The delayed blasting primarily reduces near-fieldfrequencies.Longer charge lengths in double boreholes increase PPV levels and attenuation rates within a certain length,and the vibration behavior of combined long and short charge lengths is governed by the long blasthole.Larger blasthole inclination angles enhance vibration amplitude and reduce PPV attenuation rates.Optimizing inclination angles is more critical than adjusting delay times,and parallel boreholes offer the best vibration control.

文摘Co_(3)S_(4)electrocatalysts with mixed valences of Co ions and excellent structural stability possess favorable oxygen evolution reaction(OER)activity,yet challenges remain in fabricating rechargeable lithiumoxygen batteries(LOBs)due to their poor OER performance,resulting from poor electrical conductivity and overly strong intermediate adsorption.In this work,fancy double heterojunctions on 1T/2H-MoS_(2)@Co_(3)S_(4)(1T/2H-MCS)were constructed derived from the charge donation from Co to Mo ions,thus inducing the phase transformation of Mo S_(2)from 2H to 1T.The unique features of these double heterojunctions endow the1T/2H-MCS with complementary catalysis during charging and discharging processes.It is worth noting that 1T-Mo S2@Co3S4could provide fast Co-S-Mo electron transport channels to promote ORR/OER kinetics,and 2H-MoS_(2)@Co_(3)S_(4)contributed to enabling moderate egorbital occupancy when adsorbed with oxygen-containing intermediates.On the basis,the Li_(2)O_(2)nucleation route was changed to solution and surface dual pathways,improving reversible deposition and decomposition kinetics.As a result,1T/2H-MCS cathodes exhibit an improved electrocatalytic performance compared with those of Co_(3)S_(4)and Mo S2cathodes.This innovative heterostructure design provides a reliable strategy to construct efficient transition metal sulfide catalysts by improving electrical conductivity and modulating adsorption toward oxygenated intermediates for LOBs.
