However, their pressure frequency and cavitation characteristics remain unclear, resulting in an inability to fully utilize resonance and cavitation erosion to break coal and rock. In this study, high-frequency pressure testing, high-speed photography, and large eddy simulation(LES) are used to investigate the distribution of the pressure frequency band, evolution law of the cavitation cloud, and its regulation mechanism of a continuous waterjet, SOPW, and AFESOPW. The results indicated that the excitation of the plunger pump, shearing layer vortex, and bubble collapse corresponded to the three high-amplitude frequency bands of the waterjet pressure. AFESOPWs have an additional self-priming frequency that can produce a larger amplitude under a synergistic effect with the second high-amplitude frequency band. A better cavitation effect was produced after self-priming the annulus fluid, and the shedding frequency of the cavitation clouds of the three types of waterjets was linearly related to the cavitation number. The peak pressure of the waterjet and cavitation erosion effect can be improved by modulating the waterjet pressure oscillation frequency and cavitation shedding frequency.展开更多

文摘High temperature piezoelectric energy harvester(HTPEH)is an important solution to replace chemical battery to achieve independent power supply of HT wireless sensors.However,simultaneously excellent performances,including high figure of merit(FOM),insulation resistivity(ρ)and depolarization temperature(Td)are indispensable but hard to achieve in lead-free piezoceramics,especially operating at 250°C has not been reported before.Herein,well-balanced performances are achieved in BiFeO3–BaTiO3 ceramics via innovative defect engineering with respect to delicate manganese doping.Due to the synergistic effect of enhancing electrostrictive coefficient by polarization configuration optimization,regulating iron ion oxidation state by high valence manganese ion and stabilizing domain orientation by defect dipole,comprehensive excellent electrical performances(Td=340°C,ρ250°C>10^(7)Ωcm and FOM_(250°C)=4905×10^(–15)m^(2)N^(−1))are realized at the solid solubility limit of manganese ions.The HT-PEHs assembled using the rationally designed piezoceramic can allow for fast charging of commercial electrolytic capacitor at 250°C with high energy conversion efficiency(η=11.43%).These characteristics demonstrate that defect engineering tailored BF-BT can satisfy high-end HT-PEHs requirements,paving a new way in developing selfpowered wireless sensors working in HT environments.

文摘El Niño-Southern Oscillation(ENSO)is a major driver of climate change in middle and low latitudes and thus strongly influences the terrestrial carbon cycle through land-air interaction.Both the ENSO modulation and carbon flux variability are projected to increase in the future,but their connection still needs further investigation.To investigate the impact of future ENSO modulation on carbon flux variability,this study used 10 CMIP6 earth system models to analyze ENSO modulation and carbon flux variability in middle and low latitudes,and their relationship,under different scenarios simulated by CMIP6 models.The results show a high consistency in the simulations,with both ENSO modulation and carbon flux variability showing an increasing trend in the future.The higher the emissions scenario,especially SSP5-8.5 compared to SSP2-4.5,the greater the increase in variability.Carbon flux variability in the middle and low latitudes under SSP2-4.5 increases by 30.9%compared to historical levels during 1951-2000,while under SSP5-8.5 it increases by 58.2%.Further analysis suggests that ENSO influences mid-and low-latitude carbon flux variability primarily through temperature.This occurrence may potentially be attributed to the increased responsiveness of gross primary productivity towards regional temperature fluctuations,combined with the intensified influence of ENSO on land surface temperatures.
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Two-terminal(2-T)perovskite(PVK)/CuIn(Ga)Se_(2)(CIGS)tandem solar cells(TSCs)have been considered as an ideal tandem cell because of their best bandgap matching regarding to Shockley–Queisser(S–Q)limits.However,the nature of the irregular rough morphology of commercial CIGS prevents people from improving tandem device performances.In this paper,D-homoserine lactone hydrochloride is proven to improve coverage of PVK materials on irregular rough CIGS surfaces and also passivate bulk defects by modulating the growth of PVK crystals.In addition,the minority carriers near the PVK/C60 interface and the incompletely passivated trap states caused interface recombination.A surface reconstruction with 2-thiopheneethylammonium iodide and N,N-dimethylformamide assisted passivates the defect sites located at the surface and grain boundaries.Meanwhile,LiF is used to create this field effect,repelling hole carriers away from the PVK and C60 interface and thus reducing recombination.As a result,a 2-T PVK/CIGS tandem yielded a power conversion efficiency of 24.6%(0.16 cm^(2)),one of the highest results for 2-T PVK/CIGS TSCs to our knowledge.This validation underscores the potential of our methodology in achieving superior performance in PVK/CIGS tandem solar cells.
文摘Continuous annealing simulation is used in studying the influence of continuous annealing process parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a GPa-grade C-Si-Mn-Cr-Mo dual-phase steel.The experimental results indicate that increasing soaking time increases the volume fraction of martensite and the size of martensite islands, as well as tensile strength(TS) and yield strength(YS),while decreasing plasticity.As the steel slowly cools to a lower temperature prior to final quenching, TS and YS decrease, whereas elongation increases.The decrease in martensite content is due to the partial decomposition of austenite into ferrite during long slow cooling before quenching.As overaging temperature increases because of the tempering of martensite and aging of ferrite, TS decreases and YS increases.Work hardening analysis shows that in the initial stage of deformation, low overaging temperatures enhance work hardening ability.

文摘The subnucleus reticularis dorsalis(SRD),also known as the dorsal reticular nucleus(DRt)or dorsal medullary reticular nucleus(MdD),which resides at the caudal end of the medulla,plays a pivotal role in regulating pain perception.Despite extensive research efforts to unravel its mechanisms,the operational intricacies of SRD remain poorly understood.Advances in experimental methodologies such as brain imaging and chemogenetics have facilitated deeper investigations into the involvement of SRD in various pain disorders.This comprehensive review aims to analyze 36 years(1989–2024)of preclinical research highlighting the critical role of SRD in diffuse noxious inhibitory control(DNIC),also known as conditioned pain modulation(CPM)in humans,and its interconnected neural circuits.Moreover,this review explores the neural circuits related to SRD,including locus coeruleus(LC)-SRD,parabrachial nucleus(PBN)-SRD,rostroventromedial medulla(RVM)-ventrolateral medulla(VLM)-SRD,anterior cingulate cortex(ACC)-SRD,medial medullary reticular formation(mMRF)-SRD,and dorsal striatum(DS)-SRD.Their activation also plays a significant role in analgesia.The pivotal roles of neurotransmitters such asμ-opioid receptor(MOR),noradrenaline,and metabotropic glutamate receptor 7(mGluR7)in modulating SRD responsiveness to pain stimuli are also discussed,as are the influences of SRD on different pain types.This review identified promising avenues for innovative analgesic treatments by shedding light on potential therapeutic strategies targeting SRD.

文摘Face-centered cubic(FCC)equi-atomic multi-principal element alloys(MPEAs)exhibit excellent mechan-ical properties over a broad temperature range from cryogenic temperatures(CTs)to room temperature(RT).Specifically,while the deformation mechanism is dominated solely by dislocation slip at RT,the re-duction in stacking fault energy(SFE)at CTs leads to enhanced strain hardening with deformation twin-ning.This study employs in-situ neutron diffraction to reveal the temperature-dependent deformation be-havior of the FCC/body-centered cubic(BCC)dual-phase(DP)Al7(CoNiV)93 medium-entropy alloy(MEA),which possesses a matrix exhibiting deformation behavior analogous to that of representative equi-atomic MPEAs.Alongside the increased lattice friction stress associated with reduced temperature as a thermal component,deformation twinning at liquid nitrogen temperature(LNT)facilitates dislocation activity in the FCC matrix,leading to additional strain hardening induced by the dynamic Hall-Petch effect.This would give the appearance that the improved strengthening/hardening behaviors at LNT,compared to RT,are primarily attributable to the FCC phase.In contrast,the BCC precipitates are governed solely by dislocation slip for plastic deformation at both 77 K and 298 K,exhibiting a similar trend in dislocation density evolution.Nevertheless,empirical and quantitative findings indicate that the intrinsically high Peierls-Nabarro barriers in the BCC precipitates exhibit pronounced temperature-dependent lattice fric-tion stress,suggesting that the BCC precipitates play a more significant role in the temperature-dependent strengthening/hardening behaviors for the DP-MEA.This study provides a comprehensive understanding of deformation behavior by thoroughly analyzing temperature-dependent strengthening/hardening mech-anisms across various DP-MPEA systems,offering valuable guidelines for future alloy design.

文摘Multilevel coding(MLC)is a commonly used polar coded modulation scheme,but challenging to implement in engineering due to its high complexity and long decoding delay for high-order modulations.To address these limitations,a novel two-level serially concatenated MLC scheme,in which the bitlevels with similar reliability are bundled and transmitted together,is proposed.The proposed scheme hierarchically protects the two bit-level sets:the bitlevel sets at the higher level are sufficiently reliable and do not require excessive resources for protection,whereas only the bit-level sets at the lower level are encoded by polar codes.The proposed scheme has the advantages of low power consumption,low delay and high reliability.Moreover,an optimized constellation signal labeling rule that can enhance the performance is proposed.Finally,the superiority of the proposed scheme is validated through the theoretical analysis and simulation results.Compared with the bit interleaving coding modulation(BICM)scheme,under 256-quadrature amplitude modulation(QAM),the proposed scheme attains a performance gain of 1.0 dB while reducing the decoding complexity by 54.55%.

文摘Seawater splitting provides a sustainable approach for large-scale hydrogen production without straining freshwater resources.However,the challenge lies in achieving high catalytic activity and stability due to electrocatalyst deactivation from structural degradation,poor corrosion resistance,and surface instability in both alkaline and seawater electrolysis.To address this,we propose a novel strategy combining Fe-doping with dual-phase lattice strain engineering in nickel-molybdenum transition metal nitrides(TMNs).The Fe-doped Ni_(3)Mo_(3)N/Mo_(2)N electrocatalyst exhibits compressive lattice strains of-4.52%and-2.91%in the Ni_(3)Mo_(3)N and Mo_(2)N phases,respectively,enhancing its structural integrity and electronic properties.Consequently,Fe-Ni_(3)Mo_(3)N/Mo_(2)N achieves low overpotentials of 167 and 371 mV at current densities of 10 and 500 mA cm^(-2),respectively,in 1 M alkaline seawater,with exceptional stability over 100 h at 100 and 500 mA cm^(-2).Theoretical calculations reveal that these compressive strains optimize the adsorption of OER intermediates and improve catalytic kinetics.This work demonstrates the promise of dual-phase lattice strain engineering in TMNs for efficient,durable,and scalable electrocatalysts in seawater electrolysis,a strategy that has yet to be fully explored for OER.

文摘Fracture strain becomes critical for the local formability and crash performance of carbody components when the tensile strength exceeds 1000 MPa.Regrettably,high-strength quenching and partitioning(Q&P)steels and dual-phase(DP)steels always focus on improving the tensile ductility for stretch formability,while ignoring their limited fracture strain.In this work,we explored a novel strategy,i.e.,developing a high fracture strain ferrite-martensite dual-phase steel(HFS-DP)maintaining good strength–ductility balance by suppressing intense strain localization during deformation and enhancing martensite deformability via microstructure design including grain refinement,nano-precipitate hardening in soft ferrite phase,low-carbon and high fraction martensite.HFS-DP demonstrates a remarkable 26%and 47%improvement in tensile ductility and fracture strain,respectively,compared to commercial DP1180 steel with similar ultimate tensile strength.Furthermore,HFS-DP also exhibits a substantial 39%improvement in fracture strain compared to retained austenite-involved commercial QP1180 steel.The detailed processes of strain partitioning,strain localization,and damage formation during deformation were revealed through in-situ scanning electron microscopy(SEM)observation combined with digital image correlation(DIC).The results indicate that the excellent coordinated deformation between ferrite and martensite,coupled with microstructure refinement,effectively suppresses intense strain localization.Moreover,the excellent martensite deformability resulting from the low carbon content also aids in retarding crack formation.This combination effectively suppresses damage initiation and development during deformation,therefore the fracture strain is significantly improved.This study not only contributes to a deeper understanding of the strain localization and damage process during tensile deformation of DP steels,but also provides a new perspective on designing ultrahigh strength steels with high ductility and fracture strain.

文摘With the upgrade of armor protection materials,higher requirements are put forward for the penetration performance of tungsten alloy kinetic energy armor-piercing projectiles,and the penetration performance is closely related to the adiabatic shear band under extreme stress conditions.Here,the detailed analysis of the adiabatic shear band microstructure evolution of a dual-phase 90W-Ni-Fe alloy under a high strain rate was conducted by combining advanced electron microscopic characterization,while discussing shear fracture from a mechanical perspective under thermoplastic instability.The high temperature and high stress environment inside the adiabatic shear band led to the refinement of the W phase andγ-(Ni,Fe)phase grains to the submicron level,and induced the elements redistribution of W,Ni,and Fe to precipitate W nanocrystalline with hardness as high as 11.7 GPa along the recrystallization grain boundaries of theγ-(Ni,Fe)phase.Mechanical incompatibility caused by the hardness difference between W nanocrystalline andγ-(Ni,Fe)phases led to a strain gradient at the interface.The microvoids preferentially nucleated at the W nanocrystalline/γ-(Ni,Fe)phase interface,then merged to form microcracks and grew further,leading to shear failure.

文摘Developing efficient and durable non-noble-metal catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction(OER)in acidic media remains a critical challenge for proton-exchange membrane water electrolysis.Here,we report a dual-phase Mn_(3)O_(4)-Co_(2)MnO_(4)hybrid oxide electrocatalyst synthesized via a sulfur-assisted coelectrodeposition strategy in a choline chloride/ethylene glycol-based deep eutectic solvent,followed by annealing.The incorporation of sulfur facilitates the formation of a cubic spinel Co_(2)MnO_(4)phase within the Mn_(3)O_(4)host,optimizing electronic conductivity and stabilizing the catalytic layer by strengthening Mn-O bonds.When supported on a corrosion-resistant Pt/Ti substrate,the composite electrode achieves a low overpotential of 317 mV at 10 mA cm^(-2)and sustains stable operation for over 100 h in 0.05 M H_(2)SO_(4)(pH=1),outperforming most MnO_(x)-based catalysts and approaching noble-metal benchmarks.Density functional theory calculations reveal that the Co_(2)MnO_(4)phase lowers the energy barrier for the rate-determining OOH^(*)→O_(2)step,while in-situ spectroscopic analyses confirm its structural integrity under acidic OER conditions.Furthermore,electrolyte dissociation kinetics significantly influences performance,with HClO_(4) exhibiting superior mass transfer due to its high proton conductivity.This work provides a rational design pathway for non-noble-metal acidic OER catalysts through phase engineering and electrolyte optimization,advancing sustainable hydrogen production technologies.

文摘The simultaneously transmitting and reflecting reconfigurable intelligent surface(STAR-RIS)is regarded as a promising paradigm for enhancing the connectivity and reliability of non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA)networks.However,the transmission of STAR-RIS enhanced NOMA networks performance is severely limited due to the inter-user interference(IUI)on multi-user detections.To mitigate this drawback,we propose a generalized quadrature spatial modulation(GQSM)aided STAR-RIS in conjunction with the NOMA scheme,termed STARRIS-NOMA-GQSM,to improve the performance of the corresponding NGMA network.By STAR-RISNOMA-GQSM,the information bits for all users in transmission and reflection zones are transmitted via orthogonal signal domains to eliminate the IUI so as to greatly improve the system performance.The lowcomplexity detection and upper-bounded bit error rate(BER)of STAR-RIS-NOMA-GQSM are both studied to evaluate its feasibility and performance.Moreover,by further utilizing index modulation(IM),we propose an enhanced STAR-RIS-NOMA-GQSM scheme,termed E-STAR-RIS-NOMA-GQSM,to enhance the transmission rate by dynamically adjusting reflection patterns in both transmission and reflection zones.Simulation results show that the proposed original and enhanced scheme significantly outperform the conventional STAR-RIS-NOMA and also confirm the precision of the theoretical analysis of the upper-bounded BER.

文摘Under submerged conditions, compared with traditional self-excited oscillating pulsed waterjets(SOPWs), annular fluid-enhanced self-excited oscillating pulsed waterjets(AFESOPWs) exhibit a higher surge pressure through self-priming. However, their pressure frequency and cavitation characteristics remain unclear, resulting in an inability to fully utilize resonance and cavitation erosion to break coal and rock. In this study, high-frequency pressure testing, high-speed photography, and large eddy simulation(LES) are used to investigate the distribution of the pressure frequency band, evolution law of the cavitation cloud, and its regulation mechanism of a continuous waterjet, SOPW, and AFESOPW. The results indicated that the excitation of the plunger pump, shearing layer vortex, and bubble collapse corresponded to the three high-amplitude frequency bands of the waterjet pressure. AFESOPWs have an additional self-priming frequency that can produce a larger amplitude under a synergistic effect with the second high-amplitude frequency band. A better cavitation effect was produced after self-priming the annulus fluid, and the shedding frequency of the cavitation clouds of the three types of waterjets was linearly related to the cavitation number. The peak pressure of the waterjet and cavitation erosion effect can be improved by modulating the waterjet pressure oscillation frequency and cavitation shedding frequency.
