However, studying the effect of film thickness on LFHDPs optoelectronic properties has not yet been investigated. Herein, we synthesized two new Ruddlesden–Popper LFHDPs, namely(C_(5)H_(12)N)_(4)AgBiI_(8)(CAB-1) and(C_(6)H_(14)N)_(4)Ag Bi I8(CAB-2) using cyclopentylamine and cyclohexylamine as monoamine ligands. Indeed, these two Ag(Ⅰ)-Bi(Ⅲ) LFHDPs form smooth and uniform films ranging in thickness from 250 nm to 1 μm, with preferred orientations. Notably, the studies on the optical properties showed that the direct band gap value decreased from 2.17 e V to 1.91 e V for CAB-1 and from 2.05 e V to 1.86 e V for CAB-2 with increasing thickness. Accordingly, photo-current response using a xenon lamp revealed a significant difference of over 1000 n A between light and dark conditions for1 μm-thickness films, suggesting potential for light harvesting. Other than that, thicker films of CAB-1and CAB-2 exhibit high stability for 90 days in a relatively humid environment(RH of 55%), paving the way for promising optoelectronic applications.展开更多

In this study, the kinetic response model of the protective structure under single-pulse and continuous double-pulse impact is established,and a continuous double-pulse high overload impact test impact platform based on the sleeve-type bullet is constructed, and the protective performance of the multi-layer structure under multi-pulse is analyzed based on the acceleration decay ratio, and the results show that the protective performance of the structure has a positive correlation with its thickness, and it is not sensitive to the change of the load of the first impact;the first impact under double-pulse impact will cause damage to the microstructure through the superposition of the second impact. The first impact under double-pulse impact will cause an increase in the overload amplitude of the second impact through superposition;compared with the single-layer structure, the acceleration attenuation ratio of the double-layer structure can be increased by up to 26.13%, among which the epoxy-polyurethane combination has the best protection performance, with an acceleration attenuation ratio of up to 44.68%. This work provides a robust theoretical foundation and experimental basis for the reliable operation of MEMS devices, as well as for the design of protective structures in extreme environments.展开更多

文摘ACKGROUND The hemoglobin glycation index(HGI)represents the discrepancy between the glucose management indicator(GMI)based on mean blood glucose levels and laboratory values of glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c).The HGI is a promising indicator for identifying individuals with excessive glycosylation,facilitating personalized evaluation and prediction of diabetic complications.However,the factors influencing the HGI in patients with type 1 diabetes(T1D)remain unclear.Autoimmune destruction of pancreaticβcells is central in T1D pathogenesis,yet insulin resistance can also be a feature of patients with T1D and their coexistence is called“double diabetes”(DD).However,knowledge regarding the relationship between DD features and the HGI in T1D is limited.AIM To assess the association between the HGI and DD features in adults with T1D.METHODS A total of 83 patients with T1D were recruited for this cross-sectional study.Laboratory HbA1c and GMI from continuous glucose monitoring data were collected to calculate the HGI.DD features included a family history of type 2 diabetes,overweight/obesity/central adiposity,hypertension,atherogenic dyslipidemia,an abnormal percentage of body fat(PBF)and/or visceral fat area(VFA)and decreased estimated insulin sensitivity.Skin autofluorescence of advanced glycation end products(SAF-AGEs),diabetic complications,and DD features were assessed,and their association with the HGI was analyzed.RESULTS A discrepancy was observed between HbA1c and GMI among patients with T1D and DD.A higher HGI was associated with an increased number of SAF-AGEs and a higher prevalence of diabetic microangiopathy(P=0.030),particularly retinopathy(P=0.031).Patients with three or more DD features exhibited an eight-fold increased risk of having a high HGI,compared with those without DD features(adjusted odds ratio=8.12;95%confidence interval:1.52-43.47).Specifically,an elevated PBF and/or VFA and decreased estimated insulin sensitivity were associated with high HGI.Regression analysis identified estimated insulin sensitivity and VFA as factors independently associated with HGI.CONCLUSION In patients with T1D,DD features are associated with a higher HGI,which represents a trend toward excessive glycosylation and is associated with a higher prevalence of chronic diabetic complications.

文摘To investigate the wind⁃induced vibration re⁃sponse characteristics of multispan double⁃layer cable photo⁃voltaic(PV)support structures,wind tunnel tests using an aeroelastic model were carried out to obtain the wind⁃induced vibration response data of a three⁃span four⁃row double⁃layer cable PV support system.The wind⁃induced vibration characteristics with different PV module tilt angles,wind speeds,and wind direction angles were analyzed.The results showed that the double⁃layer cable large⁃span flexible PV support can effectively control the wind⁃induced vibration response and prevent the occur⁃rence of flutter under strong wind conditions.The maxi⁃mum value of the wind⁃induced vibration displacement of the flexible PV support system occurs in the windward first row.The upstream module has a significant shading effect on the downstream module,with a maximum effect of 23%.The most unfavorable wind direction angles of the structure are 0°and 180°.The change of the wind direction angle in the range of 0°to 30°has little effect on the wind vi⁃bration response.The change in the tilt angle of the PV modules has a greater impact on the wind vibration in the downwind direction and a smaller impact in the upwind di⁃rection.Special attention should be paid to the structural wind⁃resistant design of such systems in the upwind side span.
文摘Non-aqueous emulsions have a wide range of applications in cosmetics,drug-controlled release,and the preparation of functional nanoparticles.However,due to the weaker polarity of non-aqueous solvents,these emulsions often exhibit inferior stability compared to their aqueous counterparts.In this experiment,the properties of quaternary ammonium surfactants in glycerol were investigated through surface tension measurements,to further enhance the stability of n-decane/glycerol emulsions,hydrophilic nanoparticles SiO_(2) were modified in situ using double tailed quaternary ammonium surfactants Di-C_(12)DAB and Di-C_(16)DAB.Stable n-decane/glycerol Pickering emulsions were successfully prepared.These emulsions were stable at 45℃for over six months,and no significant changes in droplet size occurred.The minimum droplet size of the emulsion was only 2-3μm.Contact angle measurements showed that the wettability of the silica surface was tremendously affected by the concentration and the alkyl chain length of the double-tailed surfactants.In the presence of Di-C_(12)DAB,the contact angle of glycerol on the silica surface increased monotonically with the surfactant concentration.This explains the phenomenon that the Pickering emulsions containing Di-C_(12)DAB and silica particles were stable within the contact angle range of 80°-120°.Comparatively,the contact angle of the glycerol on the silica surface in the presence of Di-C_(16)DAB first increased with surfactant concentrations and then decreased,reaching a maximum at 0.6 mmol/L.It can be concluded that Di-C_(12)DAB formed monolayers at the surface of silica particles within all investigated concentrations.On the contrary,Di-C_(16)DAB formed monolayers at concentrations below 0.6 mmol/L and formed double layers at concentrations above 0.6 mmol/L,leading to a non-monotonic change in the contact angle with respect to concentration.Using these stable non-aqueous Pickering emulsions as templates,polymer microspheres with a particle size of 2-3μm were successfully prepared with high yield.This work is helpful to expand the potential applications of non-aqueous emulsions in the encapsulation of drug,controlled release,material preparation,and cosmetic formulations.

文摘Consider a graph G=(V,E).A perfect double Roman dominating function(PDRDF for short)is a function h:V→{0,1,2,3}that satisfies the condition∑_(y∈NG[x],h(y)≥1)h(y)=|{y∈NG(x):h(y)≥1}|+2 for any x∈V with h(x)≤1.The weightω(h)of this function is∑_(y∈V)h(y).The perfect double Roman domination number(PDRD-number)of G,denoted byγ_(dR)^(p)(G),is defined as the minimum weight among all PDRDFs of G.This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the PDRD-number of connected cographs,demonstrating that it falls within the set{2,3,4,5,6}.Furthermore,it establishes that for any integer i≥7,there is a connected cograph G such that its PDRD-number is equal to i.

文摘Purely organic room-temperature phosphorescence(RTP)is current hotspot in the research fields of chemistry,biology,materials etc.Herein,we report that photo-thermal double response reversible ultralong RTP flexible elastic material with multicolor delayed fluorescence,which is constructed by 4-biphenylboronic acid(BOH),polyethylene glycol,2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)propionic acid,isophorone diamine and isophorone diisocyanate copolymer.Importantly,the supramolecular phosphorescent elastomer not only exhibits extending RTP emission with a lifetime up to 1.21 s,but also gives a visible afterglow of 20 s via encapsulation of BOH unities by the deep cavities of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin(β-CD-HP)and in situ polymerization.Especially,after doping organic dyes(Fluorescein isothiocyanate,Sulforhodamine 101,Rhodamine B),supramolecular phosphorescent elastomer achieves multicolor delayed fluorescence realized by RTP energy transfer from phosphorescent donor to dye acceptors,which possesses reversible photo-thermal responsiveness and maintains high efficiency in delayed emission even after dozens of cycles.Present research provides a new approach for constructing multicolor delayed fluorescent supramolecular elastomers.
文摘Antibiotics and heavy metals usually co-exist in wastewater and pose serious environmental hazards.Herein,a series of VMo-BMO/O_(v)-BOB S-scheme heterojunctions with double vacancy(Mo vacancy and photoexcited O vacancy)were constructed via an electrostatic assembly method.The removal efficiency of Cr(VI)and tetracycline(TC)over VMo-BMO/O_(v)-BOB-0.3 was 2.47 and 1.13 times than that of a single system,respectively.In-situ EPR demonstrated that the surface O vacancies could be generated under LED light irradiation.These photoexcited O vacancies(P-O_(v))enabled VMo-BMO/O_(v)-BOB composites still exhibit satisfactory activity after five successive cycles and an amplified Fermi level gap.The enhancement could be attributed to the enhanced internal electric field and double-vacancy-induced polarization.Additionally,the density functional theory calculation results suggested that double vacancy induced polarization electric field increases the dipole moment,which was conducive to rapid electron transport.Photoluminescence and time-resolved photoluminescence analysis demonstrated that the introduction of S-scheme heterojunction and double vacancy promoted charge transfer and prolonged the lifetime of carriers.Degradation intermediates and toxicity of products were evaluated.In conclusion,a possible mechanism based on VMo-BMO/O_(v)-BOB S-scheme heterojunction in the simultaneous removal of Cr(VI)and TC was proposed.

文摘Developing environmental-friendly non-metal photocatalysts for the efficient removal of antibiotics from environment is a significant challenge.The construction of heterojunction is regarded as a powerful strategy to enhance the photodegradation efficiency of photocatalysts for pollutants,being due that this strategy can effectively suppress the recombination of the photo-induced electron and hole.In this research,a novel double Z-scheme BN/C_(60)/g-C_(3)N_(4) heterojunction was successfully synthesized via one-step synthetic approach.Based on a series of experimental characterization,BN/C_(60)/g-C_(3)N_(4) is most likely formed via the interaction between N element of BN and g-C_(3)N_(4) with C_(60) under UV-light irradiation.The band structures of BN,C_(60),g-C_(3)N_(4) and the internal electric field among them suggest that BN/C_(60)/g-C_(3)N_(4) may has a direct double z-type band arrangement,which facilitates efficient charge transfer.The photodegradation rate of BN/C_(60)/g-C_(3)N_(4) for tetracycline reached 90.1%,which is 2.9 times higher than that observed with BN and 2.3 times higher than that of g-C_(3)N_(4).BN/C_(60)/g-C_(3)N_(4) exhibits remarkable photocatalytic performance across a wide pH range and in the influence of different anions.This study offers significant insights about how to design double z-scheme metal-free photocatalyst with high photodegradation efficiency for antibiotic.

文摘Phase singularities(PSs)in topological darkness-based sensors have received significant attention in optical sensing due to their rapid,ultra-sensitive,and label-free detection capabilities.Here,we present both experimental and theoretical investigations of an ultrasensitive and multiplexed phase-sensitive sensor utilizing dual topological PSs in the visible and near-infrared regions.This sensor uses a simple structure,which consists of an ultra-thin highly absorbing film deposited on a metal substrate.We demonstrate the achievement of dual-polarization darkness points for s-and p-polarizations at different incident angles.Furthermore,we theoretically explain the double topological PSs accompanied by a perfect±π-jump near a zero-reflection point,based on the temporal coupled-mode formalism.To validate its multifunctional capabilities,humidity sensing tests were carried out.The results demonstrate that the sensor has a detection limit reaching the level of 0.12‰.These findings go beyond the scope of conventional interference optical coatings and highlight the potential applications of this technology in gas sensing and biosensing domains.

文摘The pore structure of porous scaffolds plays a crucial role in bone repair.The prevalent bone implant structure in clinical practice is the traditional cubic structure.However,the traditional cubic structure exhibits sharp edges and junctions that are not conducive to cell adhesion or growth.In this study,a double gyroid(DG)Ti6Al4V scaffold based on a triply periodic minimal surface(TPMS)structure was devised,and the osseointegration performance of DG structural scaffolds with varying porosities was investigated.Compression tests revealed that the elastic modulus and compressive strength of DG structural scaffolds were sufficient for orthopedic implants.In vitro cellular experiments demonstrated that the DG structure significantly enhanced cell proliferation,vascularization,and osteogenic differentiation compared to the cubic structure.The DG structure with 55%porosity exhibited the most favorable outcomes.In vivo experiments in rabbits further demonstrated that DG scaffolds could promote neovascularization and bone regeneration and maturation;those with 55%porosity performed best.Comparing the surface area,specific surface area per unit volume,and internal flow distribution characteristics of gyroid and DG structure scaffolds,the latter are more conducive to cell adhesion and growth within scaffolds.This study underscored the potential of DG scaffolds based on the TPMS structure in optimizing the pore structure design of titanium scaffolds,inducing angiogenesis,and advancing the clinical application of titanium scaffolds for repairing bone defects.

文摘High-overload shocks are very likely to cause damage to the microstructure of MEMS devices, especially the continuous multiple high-overload shocks generated by the penetration of the multilayer target environment pose more stringent challenges to its protective structure. In this study, the kinetic response model of the protective structure under single-pulse and continuous double-pulse impact is established,and a continuous double-pulse high overload impact test impact platform based on the sleeve-type bullet is constructed, and the protective performance of the multi-layer structure under multi-pulse is analyzed based on the acceleration decay ratio, and the results show that the protective performance of the structure has a positive correlation with its thickness, and it is not sensitive to the change of the load of the first impact;the first impact under double-pulse impact will cause damage to the microstructure through the superposition of the second impact. The first impact under double-pulse impact will cause an increase in the overload amplitude of the second impact through superposition;compared with the single-layer structure, the acceleration attenuation ratio of the double-layer structure can be increased by up to 26.13%, among which the epoxy-polyurethane combination has the best protection performance, with an acceleration attenuation ratio of up to 44.68%. This work provides a robust theoretical foundation and experimental basis for the reliable operation of MEMS devices, as well as for the design of protective structures in extreme environments.

文摘Walking is the basic locomotion pattern for bipedal robots.The walking pattern is widely generated using the linear inverted pendulum model.The linear inverted pendulum motion of each support period can be designed as a walk primitive to be connected to form a walking trajectory.A novel method of integrating double support phase into the walk primitive was proposed in this article.The method describes the generation of walking patterns using walk primitives with double support,specifically for lateral plane including walking in place,walking for lateral,and walking initiation,and for sagittal plane including fixed step length walking,variable step length walking,and walking initiation.Compared to walk primitives without double support phase,those with double support phase reduce the maximum speed required by the robot and eliminate the need to adjust foothold for achieving continuous speed.The performance of the proposed method is validated by simulations and experiments on Neubot,a position-controlled biped robot.
