However, the manufacturing of such advanced equipment poses significant challenges owing to high-level requirements for loading, transmission, conduction, energy conversion, and stealth. These challenges are amplified by complex structures, hard-to-cut materials, and strict standards for surface integrity and precision. To overcome these barriers in high-end equipment manufacturing, high-performance manufacturing(HPM) has emerged as an essential solution.This paper firstly discusses the key challenges in manufacturing technology and explores the essence of HPM, outlining a quantitative relationship between design and manufacturing.Subsequently, a generalized framework of HPM is proposed, accompanied by an in-depth exploration of the foundational elements and criteria. Ultimately, the feasible approaches and enabling technologies, supported by the analysis of two illustrative case studies are demonstrated. It is concluded that HPM is not just a precision and computational manufacturing framework with a core focus on multiparameter correlation in design, manufacturing, and service environments. It also represents a performance-geometry-integrated manufacturing framework for an accurate guarantee of the optimal performance.展开更多

Herein, a monomer 4-(((5-(hydroxymethyl)furan-2-yl)methylene)amino)phenol(FCN) containing furan ring with potential to form high density of hydrogen bonding among repeating units is designed and copolymerized with glycerol triglycidyl ether to yield epoxy resin(FCN-GTE), which intrinsically has dual hydrogen bond networks, dynamic imine structure and resultant high performance. Importantly, as compared to the BPA-GTE, the FCN-GTE exhibits significantly improved mechanical properties owing to the increased density of hydrogen bond network and physical crosslinking interaction. Furthermore, density functional theory(DFT) calculation and in situ FTIR analysis is conducted to decipher the formation mechanism of hydrogen bond network. In addition, the FCN-GTE possesses superior UV shielding, chemical degradation, and recyclability because of the existence of abundant imine bonds. Notably, the FCN-GTE-based carbon fiber composites could be completely recycled in an amine solution.This study provides a facile strategy for synthesizing recyclable biomass-based high-performance epoxy vitrimers and carbon fiber composites.展开更多

文摘Compared to subtractive manufacturing and casting,3D printing(additive manufacturing)offers advantages,such as the rapid production of complex structures,reduced material waste,and environmental friendliness.Direct ink writing(DIW)is one of the most popular 3D printing techniques owing to its ability to print multiple materials simultaneously and its high compatibility with printing inks.However,DIW presents significant challenges,particularly in the printing of high-performance polymers.The main challenges are as follows:1.The rigid structures and reaction kinetics of high-performance polymers make developing new inks difficult.2.The limited types of available high-performance polymers underscore the need for new DIW-suitable materials.3.Layer-by-layer stacking weakens interlayer bonding,affecting the mechanical properties of the printed product.4.The accuracy and speed of DIW printing are insufficient for large-scale manufacturing.After introducing the topic,the requirements for DIW printing inks are first reviewed,emphasizing the importance of thixotropic agents.Then,research progress regarding DIW printing of high-performance polymers is comprehensively reviewed according to the requirements of different polymer inks.Additionally,the applications of these materials across various fields are summarized.Finally,the challenges in DIW printing of high-performance polymers,along with corresponding solutions and future development prospects,are discussed in detail.

文摘Free-standing silicon anodes with high proportion of active materials have aroused great attention;however,the mechanical stability and electrochemical performance are severely suppressed.Herein,to resolve the appeal issues,a free-standing anode with a"corrugated paper"shape on micro-scale and a topological crosslinking network on the submicron and nano-scale is designed.Essentially,an integrated three-dimensional electrode structure is constructed based on robust carbon nanotubes network with firmly anchored SiNPs via forming interlocking junctions.In which,the hierarchical interlocking structure is achieved by directional induction of the binder,which ensures well integration during cycling so that significantly enhances mechanical stability as well as electronic and ionic conductivity of electrodes.Benefiting from it,this anode exhibits outsta nding performance under harsh service conditions including high Si loading,ultrahigh areal capacity(33.2 mA h cm^(-2)),and high/low temperatures(-15-60℃),which significantly extends its practical prospect.Furthermore,the optimization mechanism of this electrode is explored to verify the crack-healing and structure-integration maintaining along cycling via a unique self-stabilization process.Thus,from both the fundamental and engineering views,this strategy offers a promising path to produce high-performance free-standing electrodes for flexible device applications especially facing volume effect challenges.

文摘Metadata prefetching and data placement play a critical role in enhancing access performance for file systems operating over wide-area networks.However,developing effective strategies for metadata prefetching in environments with concurrent workloads and for data placement across distributed networks remains a significant challenge.This study introduces novel and efficient methodologies for metadata prefetching and data placement,leveraging fine-grained control of prefetching strategies and variable-sized data fragment writing to optimize the I/O bandwidth of distributed file systems.The proposed metadata prefetching technique employs dynamic workload analysis to identify dominant workload patterns and adaptively refines prefetching policies,thereby boosting metadata access efficiency under concurrent scenarios.Meanwhile,the data placement strategy improves write performance by storing data fragments locally within the nearest data center and transmitting only the fragment location metadata to the remote data center hosting the original file.Experimental evaluations using real-world system traces demonstrate that the proposed approaches reduce metadata access times by up to 33.5%and application data access times by 17.19%compared to state-of-the-art techniques.

文摘End-host address mutation is one of the key network moving target defense mechanisms to defend against reconnaissance.However,frequently changing host addresses increases the transmission de-lay of active sessions,which may cause serious ram-ifications.In this paper,by leveraging the advanced DPDK technology,we proposed a high-performance MTD gateway framework,called HPMG,which can not only prevent adversaries from reconnaissance ef-fectively,but also retain high-speed data packet pro-cessing capabilities.Firstly,every moving target host is assigned three different IP addresses,called real IP,virtual IP,and external IP,to realize multi-level net-work address architecture.To delay the scanning tech-niques of adversaries,HPMG mutates virtual IP and virtual MAC addresses,and replies with fake host re-sponses.Besides,to be transparent to the end-hosts,HPMG keeps real IP and real MAC unchanged.Fi-nally,we optimized the forwarding and processing performance of the HPMG based on the fast path framework of DPDK.Our theoretical analysis,imple-mentation,and evaluation show that HPMG can effec-tively defend against reconnaissance attacks and de-crease the processing delay caused by address muta-tion.

文摘Lithium-ion capacitors(LICs) hold promise as next-generation energy storage devices due to the synergy of the advantageous features of lithium-ion batteries(LIBs) and supercapacitors(SCs).Recently,the use of nanostructured conjugated carboxylate organic anode materials in LICs has attracted tremendous attention due to their high capacity,excellent capacitive behavior,design flexibility,and environmental friendliness.Nevertheless,no studies have reported the use of non-conjugated organic compounds in LICs.In this study,we report for the first time that non-conjugated adipamide(ADIPAM) nanocrystals fabricated using a dissolution-recrystallization self-assembly technique serve as an excellent anode material for LICs.The unique ADIPAM nanocrystals-PVDF-Super P conductive integrated network architecture accelerates Li^(+) ion and electron diffusion and enhances lithium storage capability.Consequently,ADIPAM electrodes exhibit a high capacity of 705.8 mAh/g,exceptional cycling stability(308 mAh/g after 2100cycles at 5 A/g),and remarkable rate capability.Furthermore,a LIC full cell comprising the ADIPAM anode with a porous activated carbon cathode demonstrates a wide working window(4.5 V),high energy density(238.3 Wh/kg),and superb power density(22,500 W/kg).We believe this work may introduce a new approach to the design of non-conjugated organic materials for LICs.

文摘Ever-increasing emissions of anthropogenic carbon dioxide(CO_(2))cause global environmental and climate challenges.Inspired by biological photosynthesis,developing effective strategies NeuNlto up-cycle CO_(2)into high-value organics is crucial.Electrochemical CO_(2)reduction reaction(CO_(2)RR)is highly promising to convert CO_(2)into economically viable carbon-based chemicals or fuels under mild process conditions.Herein,mesoporous indium supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes(mp-In@MWCNTs)is synthesized via a facile wet chemical method.The mp-In@MWCNTs electrocatalysts exhibit high CO_(2)RR performance in reducing CO_(2)into formate.An outstanding activity(current density-78.5 mA cm^(-2)),high conversion efficiency(Faradaic efficiency of formate over 90%),and persistent stability(∼30 h)for selective CO_(2)-to-formate conversion are observed.The outstanding CO_(2)RR process performance is attributed to the unique structures with mesoporous surfaces and a conductive network,which promote the adsorption and desorption of reactants and intermediates while improving electron transfer.These findings provide guiding principles for synthesizing conductive metal-based electrocatalysts for high-performance CO_(2)conversion.

文摘The development of energy storage devices with high energy density relies heavily on thick film electrodes,but it is challenging due to the limited ion transport kinetics inherent in thick electrodes.Here,we report on the preparation of a directional vertical array of micro-porous transport networks on LTO electrodes using a femtosecond laser processing strategy,enabling directional ion rapid transport and achieving good electrochemical performance in thick film electrodes.Various three-dimensional(3D)vertically aligned micro-pore networks are innovatively designed,and the structure,kinetics characteristics,and electrochemical performance of the prepared ion transport channels are analyzed and discussed by multiple characterization and testing methods.Furthermore,the rational mechanisms of electrode performance improvement are studied experimentally and simulated from two aspects of structural mechanics and transmission kinetics.The ion diffusion coefficient,rate performance at 60 C,and electrode interface area of the laser-optimized 60-15%micro-porous transport network electrodes increase by 25.2 times,2.2 times,and 2.15 times,respectively than those of untreated electrodes.Therefore,the preparation of 3D micro-porous transport networks by femtosecond laser on ultra-thick electrodes is a feasible way to develop high-energy batteries.In addition,the unique micro-porous transport network structure can be widely extended to design and explore other high-performance energy materials.

文摘Anodes based on silicon@carbon(Si@C)composites are expected to be used in the next generation of commercial lithium-ion batteries due to their high specific capacity and high element abundance.However,particle pulverization and falling off,caused by volume expansion and repeated rupture and formation of SEI on electrode surface,still hinder its industrialization.Herein,a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network and porous film structure are constructed from chitosan(CS),polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinylpyrrolidone to enable highperformance Si@C anode in this work.The formed hydrogen-bonding network can significantly improve the electrical conductivity.The unique porous film structure,owing to a high specific surface area,can increase the contact between the material and the electrolyte and effectively accommodate the expansion effect of the electrode during the cycle.After 800 cycles at the current density of 500 mA·g^(-1),the reversible specific capacity remains at 945.8 mAh·g^(-1).When testing rate performance,the specific capacity can still reach 522 mAh·g^(-1)under the current density of 2000 mA·g^(-1)and returns to1126 mAh·g^(-1)at 100 mA·g^(-1).The porous film material proposed in this work has a simple preparation method and excellent properties,which will provide useful provision for the industrial application of Si@C materials in the future.

文摘Corrosion engineering is an effective way to improve the oxygen evolution reaction(OER)activity of al-loys.However,the impact of grain boundary corrosion on the structure and electrochemical performance of alloy is still unknown.Herein,the vacuum arc-melted CrCoNiFe alloys with interlaced network struc-tures via grain boundary corrosion methods were fabricated.The grain boundaries that existed as de-fects were severely corroded and an interlaced network structure was formed,promoting the exposure of the active site and the release of gas bubbles.Besides,the(oxy)hydroxides layer(25 nm)on the sur-face could act as the true active center and improve the surface wettability.Benefiting from the unique structure and constructed surface,the CrCoNiFe-12 affords a high urea oxidation reaction(UOR)perfor-mance with the lowest overpotential of 250 mV at 10 mA/cm^(2)in 1 M KOH adding 0.33 M urea.The CrCoNiFe-12||Pt only required a cell voltage of 1.485 V to afford 10 mA/cm^(2)for UOR and long-term sta-bility of 100 h at 10 mA/cm^(2)(27.6 mV decrease).These findings offer a facile strategy for designing bulk multiple-principal-element alloy electrodes for energy conversion.

文摘KTi_(2)(PO_(4))_(3)is a promising anode material for potassium storage,but suffers from low conductivity and difficult balance between high capacity and good structural stability.Herein,the Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)MXene is used as a multifunctional binder to fabricate the KTi_(2)(PO_(4))_(3)electrode by the traditional homogenizing-coating method.The MXene nanosheets,together with the conductive agent super P nanoparticles,construct a multiple conductive network for fast electron/ion transfer and high electrochemical kinet-ics.Moreover,the network ensures the structural stability of the KTi_(2)(PO_(4))_(3)electrode during the de-intercalation/intercalation of 4 K^(+)ions,which is beneficial for simultaneously achieving high capacity and good cycle performance.Therefore,the MXene-bonded KTi_(2)(PO_(4))_(3)electrode delivers a reversible capacity of 255.2 mAh/g at 50 mA/g,outstanding rate capability with 132.3 mAh/g at 2 A/g,and ex-cellent cycle performance with 151.6 mAh/g at 1 A/g after 2000 cycles.This work not only suggests a high-performance anode material for potassium-ion batteries,but also demonstrates that the MXene is a promising binder material for constructing conductive electrodes in rechargeable batteries.

文摘Magnesium(Mg),being the lightest structural metal,holds immense potential for widespread applications in various fields.The development of high-performance and cost-effective Mg alloys is crucial to further advancing their commercial utilization.With the rapid advancement of machine learning(ML)technology in recent years,the“data-driven''approach for alloy design has provided new perspectives and opportunities for enhancing the performance of Mg alloys.This paper introduces a novel regression-based Bayesian optimization active learning model(RBOALM)for the development of high-performance Mg-Mn-based wrought alloys.RBOALM employs active learning to automatically explore optimal alloy compositions and process parameters within predefined ranges,facilitating the discovery of superior alloy combinations.This model further integrates pre-established regression models as surrogate functions in Bayesian optimization,significantly enhancing the precision of the design process.Leveraging RBOALM,several new high-performance alloys have been successfully designed and prepared.Notably,after mechanical property testing of the designed alloys,the Mg-2.1Zn-2.0Mn-0.5Sn-0.1Ca alloy demonstrates exceptional mechanical properties,including an ultimate tensile strength of 406 MPa,a yield strength of 287 MPa,and a 23%fracture elongation.Furthermore,the Mg-2.7Mn-0.5Al-0.1Ca alloy exhibits an ultimate tensile strength of 211 MPa,coupled with a remarkable 41%fracture elongation.
文摘The increasing demand for high-end equipment in crucial sectors such as aerospace,aeronautics, energy, power, information and electronics continues growing. However, the manufacturing of such advanced equipment poses significant challenges owing to high-level requirements for loading, transmission, conduction, energy conversion, and stealth. These challenges are amplified by complex structures, hard-to-cut materials, and strict standards for surface integrity and precision. To overcome these barriers in high-end equipment manufacturing, high-performance manufacturing(HPM) has emerged as an essential solution.This paper firstly discusses the key challenges in manufacturing technology and explores the essence of HPM, outlining a quantitative relationship between design and manufacturing.Subsequently, a generalized framework of HPM is proposed, accompanied by an in-depth exploration of the foundational elements and criteria. Ultimately, the feasible approaches and enabling technologies, supported by the analysis of two illustrative case studies are demonstrated. It is concluded that HPM is not just a precision and computational manufacturing framework with a core focus on multiparameter correlation in design, manufacturing, and service environments. It also represents a performance-geometry-integrated manufacturing framework for an accurate guarantee of the optimal performance.

文摘The emerging biomass-based epoxy vitrimers hold great potential to fulfill the requirements for sustainable development of society.Since the existence of dynamic chemical bonds in vitrimers often reduces both the thermal and mechanical properties of epoxy resins, it is challenging to produce recyclable epoxy vitrimers with both excellent mechanical properties and good thermal stability. Herein, a monomer 4-(((5-(hydroxymethyl)furan-2-yl)methylene)amino)phenol(FCN) containing furan ring with potential to form high density of hydrogen bonding among repeating units is designed and copolymerized with glycerol triglycidyl ether to yield epoxy resin(FCN-GTE), which intrinsically has dual hydrogen bond networks, dynamic imine structure and resultant high performance. Importantly, as compared to the BPA-GTE, the FCN-GTE exhibits significantly improved mechanical properties owing to the increased density of hydrogen bond network and physical crosslinking interaction. Furthermore, density functional theory(DFT) calculation and in situ FTIR analysis is conducted to decipher the formation mechanism of hydrogen bond network. In addition, the FCN-GTE possesses superior UV shielding, chemical degradation, and recyclability because of the existence of abundant imine bonds. Notably, the FCN-GTE-based carbon fiber composites could be completely recycled in an amine solution.This study provides a facile strategy for synthesizing recyclable biomass-based high-performance epoxy vitrimers and carbon fiber composites.
