This review explores the synergistic application of AI and HTE, highlighting their role in accelerating catalyst discovery, optimizing reaction parameters, and understanding structure-performance relationships. HTE facilitates the rapid preparation, characterization, and evaluation of diverse catalyst formulations, generating large datasets essential for AI model training. Machine learning algorithms, including regression models, neural networks, and active learning frameworks, analyze these datasets to uncover the underlying relationships between the data, predict performance, and optimize experimental workflows in real-time. Case studies across heterogeneous, homogeneous, and electrocatalysis demonstrate significant advancements, including improved reaction selectivity, enhanced material stability, and shorten discovery cycles. The integration of AI with HTE has significantly accelerated discovery cycles, enabling the optimization of catalyst formulations and reaction conditions. Despite these achievements, challenges remain, including reliance on researcher expertise, real-time adaptability, and the complexity of large-scale data analysis. Addressing these limitations through refined experimental protocols, standardized datasets, and interpretable AI models will unlock the full potential of AI-HTE integration.展开更多

文摘This paper presents a design method to implement an antenna array characterized by ultra-wide beam coverage,low profile,and low Sidelobe Level(SLL)for the application of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)air-to-ground communication.The array consists of ten broadside-radiating,ultrawide-beamwidth elements that are cascaded by a central-symmetry series-fed network with tapered currents following Dolph-Chebyshev distribution to provide low SLL.First,an innovative design of end-fire Huygens source antenna that is compatible with metal ground is presented.A low-profile,half-mode Microstrip Patch Antenna(MPA)is utilized to serve as the magnetic dipole and a monopole is utilized to serves as the electric dipole,constructing the compact,end-fire,grounded Huygens source antenna.Then,two opposite-oriented end-fire Huygens source antennas are seamlessly integrated into a single antenna element in the form of monopole-loaded MPA to accomplish the ultrawide,broadside-radiating beam.Particular consideration has been applied into the design of series-fed network as well as antenna element to compensate the adverse coupling effects between elements on the radiation performance.Experiment indicates an ultrawide Half-Power Beamwidth(HPBW)of 161°and a low SLL of-25 dB with a high gain of 12 d Bi under a single-layer configuration.The concurrent ultrawide beamwidth and low SLL make it particularly attractive for applications of UAV air-to-ground communication.

文摘Interference significantly impacts the performance of the Global Navigation Satellite Systems(GNSS),highlighting the need for advanced interference localization technology to bolster anti-interference and defense capabilities.The Uniform Circular Array(UCA)enables concurrent estimation of the Direction of Arrival(DOA)in both azimuth and elevation.Given the paramount importance of stability and real-time performance in interference localization,this work proposes an innovative approach to reduce the complexity and increase the robustness of the DOA estimation.The proposed method reduces computational complexity by selecting a reduced number of array elements to reconstruct a non-uniform sparse array from a UCA.To ensure DOA estimation accuracy,minimizing the Cramér-Rao Bound(CRB)is the objective,and the Spatial Correlation Coefficient(SCC)is incorporated as a constraint to mitigate side-lobe.The optimization model is a quadratic fractional model,which is solved by Semi-Definite Relaxation(SDR).When the array has perturbations,the mathematical expressions for CRB and SCC are re-derived to enhance the robustness of the reconstructed array.Simulation and hardware experiments validate the effectiveness of the proposed method in estimating interference DOA,showing high robustness and reductions in hardware and computational costs associated with DOA estimation.
文摘Optical field manipulation,an emerging frontier in photonics,demonstrates significant potential in biomedical microscopy,quantum state engineering,and micro-nano fabrication.To address the critical limitations of current optical modulation technologies in achieving full-parameter precision control,we proposed a novel approach for dynamic azimuthal optical field modulation based on dual-spiral arrays.By designing spatially interleaved spiral structures with different initial radii while maintaining identical periodic parameters,we achieved continuous optical modulation spanning the full 0-2πrange in azimuthal field distribution.Through rigorous numerical simulations,we systematically established a quantitative correlation between the structural parameters and azimuthal optical field patterns,revealing,for the first time,a quasi-linear relationship between the radius difference and the resultant optical distribution.This theoretical framework advances our fundamental understanding of structured optical field manipulation as well as provides a new paradigm for programmable photonic device design,with distinct technical advantages in super-resolution imaging and optical tweezer systems.

文摘Tin-lead(Sn-Pb)mixed perovskites are extensively investigated in near-infrared(NIR)photodetectors(PDs)owing to their excellent photoelectric performance.However,achieving high-performance Sn-Pb mixed PDs remains challenging,primarily because of the rapid crystallization and the susceptibility of Sn^(2+) to oxidation.To ad⁃dress these issues,this study introduces the multifunctional molecules 2,3-difluorobenzenamine(DBM)to modulate the crystallization of Sn-Pb mixed perovskites and retard the oxidation of Sn^(2+),thereby significantly enhancing film quality.Compared with the pristine film,Sn-Pb mixed perovskite films modulated by DBM molecules exhibit a high⁃ly homogeneous morphology,reduced roughness and defect density.The self-powered NIR PDs fabricated with the improved films have a spectral response range from 300 nm to 1100 nm,a peak responsivity of 0.51 A·W^(-1),a spe⁃cific detectivity as high as 2.46×10^(11)Jones within the NIR region(780 nm to 1100 nm),a linear dynamic range ex⁃ceeding 152 dB,and ultrafast rise/fall time of 123/464 ns.Thanks to the outstanding performance of PDs,the fabri⁃cated 5×5 PDs array demonstrates superior imaging ability in the NIR region up to 980 nm.This work advances the development of Sn-Pb mixed perovskites for NIR detection and paves the way for their commercialization.

文摘In recent years,intensive human activities have increased the intensity of desertification,driving continual desertification process of peripheral meadows.To investigate the effects of restoration on soil microbial communities,we analyzed vegetation-soil relationships in the Hulun Buir Sandy Land,northern China.Through the use of high-throughput sequencing,we examined the structure and diversity in the bacterial and fungal communities within the 0-20 cm soil layer after 9-15 a of restoration.Different slope positions were analyzed and spatial heterogeneity was assessed.The results showed progressive improvements in soil properties and vegetation with the increase of restoration duration,and the following order was as follows:bottom slope>middle slope>crest slope.During the restoration in the Hulun Buir Sandy Land,the bacterial communities were dominated by Proteobacteria,Actinobacteria,and Acidobacteria,whereas the fungal communities were dominated by Ascomycota and Basidiomycota.Eutrophic bacterial abundance increased with the restoration duration,whereas oligotrophic bacterial and fungal abundance levels decreased.The soil bacterial abundance significantly increased with the increasing restoration duration,whereas the fungal diversity decreased after 11 a of restoration,except that at the crest slope.Redundancy analysis showed that pH,soil moisture content,total nitrogen,and vegetation-related factors affected the bacterial community structure(45.43%of the total variance explained).Canonical correspondence analysis indicated that pH,total phosphorus,and vegetation-related factors shaped the bacterial community structure(31.82%of the total variance explained).Structural equation modeling highlighted greater bacterial responses(R^(2)=0.49-0.79)to changes in environmental factors than those of fungi(R^(2)=0.20-0.48).The soil bacterial community was driven mainly by pH,soil moisture content,electrical conductivity,plant coverage,and litter dry weight.The abundance and diversity of the soil fungal community were mainly driven by plant coverage,litter dry weight,and herbaceous aboveground biomass,while there was no significant correlation between the soil fungal community structure and environmental factors.These findings highlighted divergent microbial succession patterns and environmental sensitivities during sandy grassland restoration.

文摘Designing high-performance high-entropy alloys(HEAs)with transformation-induced plasticity(TRIP)or twinning-induced plasticity(TWIP)effects requires precise control over stacking fault energy(SFE)and phase stability.However,the vast complexity of multicomponent systems poses a major challenge for identifying promising candidates through conventional experimental or computational methods.A high-throughput CALPHAD framework is developed to identify compositions with potential TWIP/TRIP behaviors in the Cr-Co-Ni and Cr-Co-Ni-Fe systems through systematic screening of stacking fault energy(SFE),FCC phase stability,and FCC-to-HCP transition temperatures(T0).The approach combines TC-Python automation with parallel Gibbs energy calculations across hundreds of thousands of compositions,enabling efficient extraction of metastable FCC-dominant alloys.The high-throughput results find 214 compositions with desired properties from 160,000 candidates.Detailed analysis of the Gibbs energy distributions,phase fraction trends,and temperature-dependent SFE evolution reveals critical insights into the thermodynamic landscape governing plasticity mechanisms in HEAs.The results show that only a narrow region of the compositional space satisfies all screening criteria,emphasizing the necessity of an integrated approach.The screened compositions and trends provide a foundation for targeted experimental validation.Furthermore,this work demonstrates a scalable,composition-resolved strategy for predicting deformation mechanisms in multicomponent alloys and offers a blueprint for integrating thermodynamic screening with mechanistic understanding in HEA design.

文摘A programmable low-profile array antenna based on nematic liquid crystals(NLCs)is proposed.Each antenna unit comprises a square patch radiating structure and a tunable NLC-based phase shifter capable of achieving a phase shift exceeding 360°with high linearity.First,the above 64 antenna units are periodically arranged into an 8×8 NLC-based antenna array,and the bias voltage of the NLC-based phase shifter loaded on the antenna unit is adjusted through the control of the field-programmable gate array(FPGA)programming sequences.This configuration enables precise phase changes for all 64 channels.Numerical simulation,sample processing,and experimental measurements of the antenna array are conducted to validate the performance of the antenna.The numerical and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed antenna performs well within the frequency range of 19.5-20.5 GHz,with a 3 dB relative bandwidth of 10%and a maximum main lobe gain of 14.1 dBi.A maximum scanning angle of±34°is achieved through the adjustment of the FPGA programming sequence.This NLC-based programmable array antenna shows promising potential for applications in satellite communication.

文摘The bandgap is a key parameter for understanding and designing hybrid perovskite material properties,as well as developing photovoltaic devices.Traditional bandgap calculation methods like ultravioletvisible spectroscopy and first-principles calculations are time-and power-consuming,not to mention capturing bandgap change mechanisms for hybrid perovskite materials across a wide range of unknown space.In the present work,an artificial intelligence ensemble comprising two classifiers(with F1 scores of 0.9125 and 0.925)and a regressor(with mean squared error of 0.0014 eV)is constructed to achieve high-precision prediction of the bandgap.The bandgap perovskite dataset is established through highthroughput prediction of bandgaps by the ensemble.Based on the self-built dataset,partial dependence analysis(PDA)is developed to interpret the bandgap influential mechanism.Meanwhile,an interpretable mathematical model with an R^(2)of 0.8417 is generated using the genetic programming symbolic regression(GPSR)technique.The constructed PDA maps agree well with the Shapley Additive exPlanations,the GPSR model,and experiment verification.Through PDA,we reveal the boundary effect,the bowing effect,and their evolution trends with key descriptors.

文摘Kagome materials are known for hosting exotic quantum states,including quantum spin liquids,charge density waves,and unconventional superconductivity.The search for kagome monolayers is driven by their ability to exhibit neat and well-defined kagome bands near the Fermi level,which are more easily realized in the absence of interlayer interactions.However,this absence also destabilizes the monolayer forms of many bulk kagome materials,posing significant challenges to their discovery.In this work,we propose a strategy to address this challenge by utilizing oxygen vacancies in transition metal oxides within a“1+3”design framework.Through high-throughput computational screening of 349 candidate materials,we identified 12 thermodynamically stable kagome monolayers with diverse electronic and magnetic properties.These materials were classified into three categories based on their lattice geometry,symmetry,band gaps,and magnetic configurations.Detailed analysis of three representative monolayers revealed kagome band features near their Fermi levels,with orbital contributions varying between oxygen 2p and transition metal d states.This study demonstrates the feasibility of the“1+3”strategy,offering a promising approach to uncovering low-dimensional kagome materials and advancing the exploration of their quantum phenomena.
