This has posed severe challenges to the traditional global governance system with regard to trade, security, and multilateral cooperation. However, this trend also provides a historical opportunity to transform the global governance system into one that is more inclusive and equitable. This can be seen in the reconstruction of value priorities, the adjustment of governance focus, the reform of governance mechanisms, and the promotion of new mechanisms. Only by adhering to openness and inclusiveness and balancing rights and responsibilities can we build a future governance order that conforms to the common interests of all humanity.展开更多

文摘Coal-derived hard carbon(HC)represents a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries owing to its cost-effectiveness and high carbon yield.However,conventional carbonization induces excessive graphitization,yielding insufficient interlayer spacing(d_(002)<0.37 nm)and underdeveloped closed pores.Herein,we propose a dynamic crystallization control strategy through carbothermal shock treatment(1300°C,30 s)that decouples thermodynamic and kinetic constraints.This method precisely modulates graphite domain ordering kinetics,producing short-range ordered structures with expanded interlayer spacing(d_(002)=0.385 nm)and homogeneously distributed closed nanopores.Through combined in situ characterization and first-principles calculations,we elucidate a three-stage crystallization mechanism:(i)amorphous carbon transformation,(ii)open-pore collapse,and(iii)pseudo-graphitic ordering.The optimized HC achieves record performance with 88.6%initial Coulombic efficiency and 204 mA h g^(−1)plateau capacity,while its optimal interlayer spacing lowers Na+diffusion barriers to enable exceptional rate capability(221 mA h g^(−1)at 0.5C after 300 cycles).Practical pouch cells maintain 85%capacity retention after 100 cycles at−20°C and deliver 284 Wh kg^(−1)energy density.This work establishes a kinetic regulation paradigm for graphitization-prone precursors,advancing the rational design of high-performance HC anodes.

文摘The Global Governance Initiative(GGI)is another important public good that China has provided for the international community,following the Global Development Initiative,the Global Security Initiative,and the Global Civilization Initiative.As a sub-field of global governance,global climate governance has hitherto progressed slowly,exhibiting growing deficits in discourse,institutions,and actions.The governance paradigm is in desperate need of revamping,especially under the guidance of an innovative initiative.At the conceptual level,the GGI has gone beyond the Western governance discourse by outlining the institutional starting point,foundations of legitimacy,action orientations,ultimate goals,and practical support for good global climate governance through its five core concepts.At the practical level,the spillover effects of China's achievements in climate governance and the collective rise of the Global South have created favorable conditions,domestically and internationally,for the GGI to lead the way forward toward good global climate governance.However,the fact that the international political and economic order remains unjust and inequitable indicates that this will inevitably be a long-term process replete with rivalries in the pursuit of breakthroughs.

文摘Freeze-thaw cycles(FTCs)have an important effect on soil aggregate stability by altering soil structures,thereby influencing soil wind and water erosion on the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.However,the effects of FTCs on the stability of these soils remain unclear.Here,we conducted freeze-thaw simulations in laboratory to investigate the effects of FTCs(0 to 15 cycles)on the wet-and dry-sieving aggregate stability of undisturbed sandy loam from Maqu county,which was treated with different initial soil moisture contents(1%to 25%in increments of 4%)and initial aggregate diameters(<2,2-5,5-10,and 10-15 mm).Results show that soil aggregates with initial diameters larger than 2 mm exhibit higher soil organic carbon contents(1.45%-1.57%)and silt contents(34.63%-35.52%)than those smaller than 2 mm(0.93%and 31.38%,respectively).The stability of both wet-and dry-sieving aggregates increases with larger initial diameters.Increasing initial soil moisture content from 1%to 25%reduces aggregate stability,with reductions of 2.4%-88.0%for wet-sieving aggregates and 2.1%-25.5%for dry-sieving aggregates(>2 mm).With increasing FTCs,wet-sieving aggregate(>2 mm)stability exhibits a fluctuating upward trend,with increases of 79.2%-87.4%after 15 FTCs,while dry-sieving aggregate(>2 mm)stability decreases significantly(5.7%-21.7%)upon the first FTC and remains unchanged thereafter.The stability of both the wet-and dry-sieving aggregates smaller than 2 mm remains unchanged with increasing FTCs(p>0.05).SOC content decreases by 22.3%on average with increasing FTCs from 1 to 15 and shows no significant correlations with wet-and dry-sieving aggregate stability.Higher silt content(r=0.39,p<0.05)and lower sand content(r=-0.38,p<0.05)enhances the wet-sieving aggregate stability of sandy loam.Frequent FTCs tend to improve wet-sieving aggregate stability but reduce dry-sieving aggregate stability in the sandy loam.The findings provide certain guidance for preventing freeze-thaw-induced wind erosion.
文摘As we enter the year 2026,the international system continues to receive shocks from Donald Trump,arguably the 21st century’s most disruptive US leader.His return to the White House in 2025 coincided with the 80th anniversary of the defeat of fascism and the establishment of the United Nations,the multilateral platform that carried the world’s hope for peace,restraint and collective security.The coincidence was unsettling.A world order designed to limit power now confronts a moment in which power is exercised openly,transactionally and unapologetically.

文摘Ice lens initiation is the core issue in understanding the dynamic process of frost heave.However,there are still limitations to find an adequate criterion for describing the formation of ice lens.A series of one-dimensional freezing tests is designed using the particle image velocimetry(PIV)method to monitor the frost heave and ice lens formation.The results show that the conventional parameters,such as displacement and velocity,cannot be used to track the ice lens formation,while the strain can be employed to detect the ice lens formation and investigate the freezing change patterns.This study proposes strain as a new criterion for assessing ice lens initiation,applicable across various soil types and freezing conditions(constant freezing and ramped freezing).The strain change in the region where the ice lens forms is the largest during the freezing process.Additionally,strain curves at the top of the soil samples can reveal different freezing patterns and distinguish the first and second frost heave stages.This newly developed technology enables continuous,non-destructive monitoring of ice lens initiation across diverse conditions and soil types,enhancing data visualization and three-dimensional modeling of freezing parameters while improving traditional methods by directly measuring velocity and strain in frost heave investigations.The study is expected to enhance the research of ice lens criterion and provide a new perspective for monitoring the freezing process.

文摘The influence of different solution and aging conditions on the microstructure,impact toughness,and crack initiation and propagation mechanisms of the novel α+β titanium alloy Ti6422 was systematically investigated.By adjusting the furnace cooling time after solution treatment and the aging temperature,Ti6422 alloy samples were developed with a multi-level lamellar microstructure,in-cluding microscaleαcolonies and α_(p) lamellae,as well as nanoscale α_(s) phases.Extending the furnace cooling time after solution treatment at 920℃ for 1 h from 240 to 540 min,followed by aging at 600℃ for 6 h,increased the α_(p) lamella content,reduced the α_(s) phase content,expanded theαcolonies and α_(p) lamellae size,and improved the impact toughness from 22.7 to 53.8 J/cm^(2).Additionally,under the same solution treatment,raising the aging temperature from 500 to 700℃ resulted in a decrease in the α_(s) phase content and a growth in the thickness of the α_(p) lamella and α_(s) phase.The impact toughness increased significantly with these changes.Samples with high α_(p) lamellae content or large α_(s) phase size exhibited high crack initiation and propagation energies.Impact deformation caused severe kinking of the α_(p) lamellae in crack initiation and propagation areas,leading to a uniform and high-density kernel average misorientation(KAM)distribu-tion,enhancing plastic deformation coordination and uniformity.Moreover,the multidirectional arrangement of coarserαcolonies and α_(p) lamellae continuously deflect the crack propagation direction,inhibiting crack propagation.

文摘To investigate the long-term stability of soft-hard interbedded rock masses with initial damage induced by earthquakes and periodic drying and wetting,this study prepared samples with different initial damage through cyclic loading and unloading(CLU)experiments followed by cyclic drying and wetting(CDW)experiments,and finally conducted creep experiments.The study analyzed the effects of initial damage on creep mechanical behavior,crack evolution,and explored failure precursor information,revealing the damage failure mechanisms.The results show that the structural characteristics of the rock mass control its macroscopic failure mode.Initial damage promotes microcrack development,influences the fracture mode,and increases the proportion of high-frequency(200−280 kHz)acoustic emission events during creep.Meanwhile,initial damage exacerbates creep characteristics,increasing the creep rate,shortening total creep failure time,and reducing long-term strength.The damage failure is attributed to:the generation of internal cracks and pores in the rock caused by CLU;mineral hydrolysis and expansion-contraction due to CDW,resulting in weakened intergranular cementation;and full development of cracks and pores under creep stress.Additionally,the deformation difference coefficient and the coefficient of variation of RA/AF values can serve as precursor indicators for creep failure.
