Multilamellar vesicles(MTSVs) and unilamellar TiO_2/SiO_2 vesicles(UTSVs) were prepared using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and didodecyldimethylammonium bromide as structure-directing agents under different solvothermal conditions. FMTHSs and TNPs were obtained from the etching reactions of MTSVs and UTSVs, respectively, in an alkaline system. FMTHSs display flower-like, ordered stratified structures on each petal. The thickness of the ordered stratified structure is approximately3–6 nm, and the number of layers is approximately 2–4. The FMTHSs2 electrode exhibits the first discharge capacity of 212.4 m A h g^(-1) at 0.2 C, which is higher than that of TNPs electrode(167.6 mA h g^(-1)).The discharge specific capacity of FMTHSs2 electrode after 200 cycles at 1 C is 105.9 mA h g^(-1), which is higher than that of TNPs electrode(52.2 mA h g^(-1)) after the same number of cycles. The outstanding performance of FMTHSs2 electrode is attributed to the advantages of FMTHSs. In particular, their own stratified structure can provide additional active sites for reactions. The hierarchical structure can provide short diffusion length for Li^+, large electrolyte–electrode contact area, and superior accommodation of the strain of Li+intercalation/deintercalation.展开更多

The assessment of electromagnetic SE for Slotted Composite Structures(SCSs) is particularly challenging due to their complex geometries and there remains a lack of suitable models for accurately predicting the SE performance of these intricate configurations. To address this issue, this paper introduces SCS-Net, a Deep Neural Network (DNN) method designed to accurately predict the SE of SCS. This method considers the impacts of various structural parameters, material properties and incident wave parameters on the SE of SCSs. In order to better model the SCS, an improved Nicolson-Ross-Weir (NRW) method is introduced in this paper to provide an equivalent flat structure for the SCS and to calculate the electromagnetic parameters of the equivalent structure. Additionally, the prediction of SE via DNNs is limited by insufficient test data, which hinders support for large-sample training. To address the issue of limited measured data, this paper develops a Measurement-Computation Fusion (MCF) dataset construction method. The predictions based on the simulation results show that the proposed method maintains an error of less than 0.07 dB within the 8–10 GHz frequency range. Furthermore, a new loss function based on the weighted L1-norm is established to improve the prediction accuracy for these parameters. Compared with traditional loss functions, the new loss function reduces the maximum prediction error for equivalent electromagnetic parameters by 47%. This method significantly improves the prediction accuracy of SCS-Net for measured data, with a maximum improvement of 23.88%. These findings demonstrate that the proposed method enables precise SE prediction and design for composite structures while reducing the number of test samples needed.展开更多

文摘Electrochemical CO_(2)reduction(ECR)to value-added products is regarded as a sustainable strategy to mitigate global warming and energy crisis,and designing highly efficient and robust catalysts is essential.In this work,transition metal sulfides(TMS)-decorated CuS microflower-like structures were prepared via the one-pot hydrothermal synthe-sis method for ECR to CO,and the influence of TMS doping on ECR performance was demonstrated.Characterization of the catalysts was performed using XRD,FESEM-EDS,N_(2)physisorption,and XPS,revealing the successful loading of TMS,the formation of microflower-like architectures and the generation of sulfur vacancies.Electrochemical tests demonstrated that doping ZnS,Bi_(2)S_(3),CdS and MoS_(2)improved the intrinsic CO_(2) reduction activity of the CuS catalyst.Particularly,the MoS_(2)-CuS composite catalyst with imperfect petal-like structure showed uniform distribution of edge Mo sites,which worked synergistically with the formed grain boundaries(GBs)and undercoordinated S vacancy sites in promotingCO_(2)activation,stabilizing ^(*)COOH adsorption,facilitating ^(*)CO desorption,and lowering the energy barrier of the potential-limiting step for improved CO selectivity.The MoS_(2)-CuS catalyst achieved a maximum CO selectivity of 83.2%at-0.6 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode(RHE)and a high CO cathodic energetic effi-ciency of 100%.At this potential,the catalyst maintained stable catalytic activity and CO selectivity during a 333-min electrolysis process.The findings will offer a promising avenue for the development of efficient and stable catalysts for CO production from ECR.

文摘The Cu/ZnO flower-like hierarchical porous structures were successfully synthesized via the cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide(CTAB) assisted hydrothermal method. The morphology and structure as well as the catalytic performance for dimethyl oxalate(DMO) hydrogenation to ethylene glycol(EG) were investigated. Through annealing the zinc copper hydroxide carbonate(ZCHC) precursors, the Cu/ZnO flower-like hierarchical porous structures were obtained, which were assembled by a number of porous nanosheets. The catalyst made of these well-defined flower-like hierarchical porous structures with large specific surface area and effective gas diffusion path via the well-aligned porous structures showed higher EG selectivity and yield as compared to the Cu/ZnO catalyst obtained by conventional co-precipitation technique. The results indicated that the Cu/ZnO flower-like hierarchical porous structures have excellent potential application for manufacture of high performance catalysts.

文摘In this study, flower-like mesoporous TiO_2 hierarchical spheres(FMTHSs) with ordered stratified structure and TiO_2 nanoparticles(TNPs) were synthesized via a facile solvothermal route and an etching reaction. Multilamellar vesicles(MTSVs) and unilamellar TiO_2/SiO_2 vesicles(UTSVs) were prepared using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and didodecyldimethylammonium bromide as structure-directing agents under different solvothermal conditions. FMTHSs and TNPs were obtained from the etching reactions of MTSVs and UTSVs, respectively, in an alkaline system. FMTHSs display flower-like, ordered stratified structures on each petal. The thickness of the ordered stratified structure is approximately3–6 nm, and the number of layers is approximately 2–4. The FMTHSs2 electrode exhibits the first discharge capacity of 212.4 m A h g^(-1) at 0.2 C, which is higher than that of TNPs electrode(167.6 mA h g^(-1)).The discharge specific capacity of FMTHSs2 electrode after 200 cycles at 1 C is 105.9 mA h g^(-1), which is higher than that of TNPs electrode(52.2 mA h g^(-1)) after the same number of cycles. The outstanding performance of FMTHSs2 electrode is attributed to the advantages of FMTHSs. In particular, their own stratified structure can provide additional active sites for reactions. The hierarchical structure can provide short diffusion length for Li^+, large electrolyte–electrode contact area, and superior accommodation of the strain of Li+intercalation/deintercalation.

文摘In this work,we put forward a scheme to exquisitely design and selectively synthesize the core@shell structured MSe_(2)/FeSe_(2)@MoSe_(2)(M=Co,Ni)flower-like multicomponent nanocomposites(MCNCs)through a simple two-step hydrothermal reaction on the surfaces of MFe_(2)O_4 nanospheres with the certain amounts of Mo and Se sources.With increasing the amounts of Mo and Se sources,the obtained core@shell structured MSe_(2)/FeSe_(2)@MoSe_(2)(M=Co,Ni)MCNCs with the enhanced content of MoSe_(2)and improved flower-like geometry morphology could be produced on a large scale.The obtained results revealed that the as-prepared samples displayed improved comprehensive microwave absorption properties(CMAPs)with the increased amounts of Mo and Se sources.The as-prepared CoSe_(2)/FeSe_(2)@MoSe_(2)and NiSe_(2)/FeSe_(2)@MoSe_(2)MCNCs with the well-defined flower-like morphology could simultaneously present the outstanding CMAPs in terms of strong absorption capability,wide absorption bandwidth,and thin matching thicknesses,which mainly originated from the conduction loss and flower-like geometry morphology.Therefore,the findings not only develop the very desirable candidates for high-performance microwave absorption materials but also pave a new way for optimizing the CMAPs through tailoring morphology engineering.

文摘Brazing filler metals are widely applied,which serve as an industrial adhesive in the joining of dissimilar structures.With the continuous emergence of new structures and materials,the demand for novel brazing filler metals is ever-increasing.It is of great significance to investigate the optimized composition design methods and to establish systematic design guidelines for brazing filler metals.This study elucidated the fundamental rules for the composition design of brazing filler metals from a three-dimensional perspective encompassing the basic properties of applied brazing filler metals,formability and processability,and overall cost.The basic properties of brazing filler metals refer to their mechanical properties,physicochemical properties,electromagnetic properties,corrosion resistance,and the wettability and fluidity during brazing.The formability and processability of brazing filler metals include the processes of smelting and casting,extrusion,rolling,drawing and ring-making,as well as the processes of granulation,powder production,and the molding of amorphous and microcrystalline structures.The cost of brazing filler metals corresponds to the sum of materials value and manufacturing cost.Improving the comprehensive properties of brazing filler metals requires a comprehensive and systematic consideration of design indicators.Highlighting the unique characteristics of brazing filler metals should focus on relevant technical indicators.Binary or ternary eutectic structures can effectively enhance the flow spreading ability of brazing filler metals,and solid solution structures contribute to the formability.By employing the proposed design guidelines,typical Ag based,Cu based,Zn based brazing filler metals,and Sn based solders were designed and successfully applied in major scientific and engineering projects.

文摘As-forged WSTi6421 titanium alloy billet afterβannealing was investigated.Abnormally coarse grains larger than adjacent grains could be observed in the microstructures,forming abnormal grain structures with uneven size distribution.Through electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD),the forged microstructure at various locations of as-forged WSTi6421 titanium alloy billet was analyzed,revealing that the strength of theβphase cubic texture generated by forging significantly influences the grain size afterβannealing.Heat treatment experiments were conducted within the temperature range from T_(β)−50°C to T_(β)+10°C to observe the macro-and micro-morphologies.Results show that the cubic texture ofβphase caused by forging impacts the texture of the secondaryαphase,which subsequently influences theβphase formed during the post-βannealing process.Moreover,the pinning effect of the residual primaryαphase plays a crucial role in the growth ofβgrains during theβannealing process.EBSD analysis results suggest that the strength ofβphase with cubic texture formed during forging process impacts the orientation distribution differences ofβgrains afterβannealing.Additionally,the development of grains with large orientations within the cubic texture shows a certain degree of selectivity duringβannealing,which is affected by various factors,including the pinning effect of the primaryαphase,the strength of the matrix cubic texture,and the orientation relationship betweenβgrain and matrix.Comprehensively,the stronger the texture in a certain region,the less likely the large misoriented grains suffering secondary growth,thereby aggregating the difference in microstructure and grain orientation distribution across different regions afterβannealing.

文摘As the proportion of composite materials used in aircraft continues to increase, the electromagnetic Shielding Effectiveness (SE) of these materials becomes a critical factor in the electromagnetic safety design of aircraft structures. The assessment of electromagnetic SE for Slotted Composite Structures(SCSs) is particularly challenging due to their complex geometries and there remains a lack of suitable models for accurately predicting the SE performance of these intricate configurations. To address this issue, this paper introduces SCS-Net, a Deep Neural Network (DNN) method designed to accurately predict the SE of SCS. This method considers the impacts of various structural parameters, material properties and incident wave parameters on the SE of SCSs. In order to better model the SCS, an improved Nicolson-Ross-Weir (NRW) method is introduced in this paper to provide an equivalent flat structure for the SCS and to calculate the electromagnetic parameters of the equivalent structure. Additionally, the prediction of SE via DNNs is limited by insufficient test data, which hinders support for large-sample training. To address the issue of limited measured data, this paper develops a Measurement-Computation Fusion (MCF) dataset construction method. The predictions based on the simulation results show that the proposed method maintains an error of less than 0.07 dB within the 8–10 GHz frequency range. Furthermore, a new loss function based on the weighted L1-norm is established to improve the prediction accuracy for these parameters. Compared with traditional loss functions, the new loss function reduces the maximum prediction error for equivalent electromagnetic parameters by 47%. This method significantly improves the prediction accuracy of SCS-Net for measured data, with a maximum improvement of 23.88%. These findings demonstrate that the proposed method enables precise SE prediction and design for composite structures while reducing the number of test samples needed.

文摘The wave-absorbing materials are kinds of special electromagnetic functional materials and have been widely used in electromagnetic pollution control and military fields.In-situ integrated hierarchical structure construction is thought as a promising route to improve the microwave absorption performance of the materials.In the present work,layer-structured Co-metal-organic frameworks(Co-MOFs)precursors were grown in-situ on the surface of carbon fibers with the hydrothermal method.After annealed at 500℃ under Ar atmosphere,a novel multiscale hierarchical composite(Co@C/CF)was obtained with the support of carbon fibers,keeping the flower-like structure.Scanning electron microscope,transmission electron microscope,X-ray diffraction,Raman,and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were performed to analyze the microstructure and composition of the hierarchical structure,and the microwave absorption performance of the Co@C/CF composites were investigated.The results showed that the growth of the flower-like structure on the surface of carbon fiber was closely related to the metal-to-ligand ratio.The optimized Co@C/CF flower-like composites achieved the best reflection loss of−55.7 dB in the low frequency band of 6–8 GHz at the thickness of 2.8 mm,with the corresponding effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of 2.1 GHz.The EAB of 3.24 GHz was achieved in the high frequency range of 12–16 GHz when the thickness was 1.5 mm.The excellent microwave absorption performance was ascribed to the introduction of magnetic components and the construction of the unique structure.The flower-like structure not only balanced the impedance of the fibers themselves,but also extended the propagation path of the microwave and then increased the multiple reflection losses.This work provides a convenient method for the design and development of wave-absorbing composites with in-situ integrated structure.

文摘The current artificial bone is unable to accurately replicate the inhomogeneity and anisotropy of human cancellous bone.To address this issue,we proposed a personalized approach based on clinical CT images to design mechanical equivalent porous structures for artificial femoral heads.Firstly,supported by Micro and clinical CT scans of 21 bone specimens,the anisotropic mechanical parameters of human cancellous bone in the femoral head were characterized using clinical CT values(Hounsfield unit).After that,the equivalent porous structure of cancellous bone was designed based on the gyroid surface,the influence of its degree of anisotropy and volume fraction on the macroscopic mechanical parameters was investigated by finite element analysis.Furthermore,a mapping relationship between CT values and the porous structure was established by jointly solving the mechanical parameters of the porous structure and human cancellous bone,allowing the design of personalized gradient porous structures based on clinical CT images.Finally,to verify the mechanical equivalence,implant press-in tests were conducted on 3D-printed artificial femoral heads and human femoral heads,the influence of the porous structure’s cell size in bone-implant interaction problems was also explored.Results showed that the minimum deviations of press-in stiffness(<15%)and peak load(<5%)both occurred when the cell size was 20%to 30%of the implant diameter.In conclusion,the designed porous structure can replicate the human cancellous bone-implant interaction at a high level,indicating its effectiveness in optimizing the mechanical performance of 3D-printed artificial femoral head.

文摘Polymeric perylene diimide(PDI)has been evidenced as a good candidate for photocatalytic water oxidation,yet the origin of the photocatalytic oxygen evolution activity remains unclear and needs further exploration.Herein,with crystal and atomic structures of the self-assembled PDI revealed from the X-ray diffraction pattern,the electronic structure is theoretically illustrated by the first-principles density functional theory calculations,suggesting the suitable band structure and the direct electronic transition for efficient photocatalytic oxygen evolution over PDI.It is confirmed that the carbonyl O atoms on the conjugation structure serve as the active sites for oxygen evolution reaction by the crystal orbital Hamiltonian group analysis.The calculations of reaction free energy changes indicate that the oxygen evolution reaction should follow the reaction pathway of H_(2)O→^(*)OH→^(*)O→^(*)OOH→^(*)O_(2)with an overpotential of 0.81 V.Through an in-depth theoretical computational analysis in the atomic and electronic structures,the origin of photocatalytic oxygen evolution activity for PDI is well illustrated,which would help the rational design and modification of polymeric photocatalysts for efficient oxygen evolution.

文摘The microstructure design for thermal conduction pathways in polymeric electrical encapsulation materials is essential to meet the stringent requirements for efficient thermal management and thermal runaway safety in modern electronic devices.Hence,a composite with three-dimensional network(Ho/U-BNNS/WPU)is developed by simultaneously incorporating magnetically modified boron nitride nanosheets(M@BNNS)and non-magnetic organo-grafted BNNS(U-BNNS)into waterborne polyurethane(WPU)to synchronous molding under a horizontal magnetic field.The results indicate that the continuous in-plane pathways formed by M@BNNS aligned along the magnetic field direction,combined with the bridging structure established by U-BNNS,enable Ho/U-BNNS/WPU to exhibit exceptional in-plane(λ//)and through-plane thermal conductivities(λ_(⊥)).In particular,with the addition of 30 wt%M@BNNS and 5 wt%U-BNNS,theλ//andλ_(⊥)of composites reach 11.47 and 2.88 W m^(-1) K^(-1),respectively,which representing a 194.2%improvement inλ_(⊥)compared to the composites with a single orientation of M@BNNS.Meanwhile,Ho/U-BNNS/WPU exhibits distinguished thermal management capabilities as thermal interface materials for LED and chips.The composites also demonstrate excellent flame retardancy,with a peak heat release and total heat release reduced by 58.9%and 36.9%,respectively,compared to WPU.Thus,this work offers new insights into the thermally conductive structural design and efficient flame-retardant systems of polymer composites,presenting broad application potential in electronic packaging fields.
