文摘Due to its unique layered structure and excellent electrochemical properties,molybdenum disulfide(MoS_(2))demonstrates significant potential for applications in the energy storage field,particularly in supercapacitors.It is widely regarded as one of the most representative transition metal dichalcogenides.MoS_(2)possesses a high theoretical specific capacitance,abundant edge active sites,and favorable tunability and structural diversity,which provide it with a distinct advantage in the construction of advanced electrode structures.Additionally,the anisotropic characteristics of MoS_(2)concerning electron and ion transport offer more dimensions for regulating its electrochemical behavior.This work will systematically review various synthesis strategies for MoS_(2)and its recent advancements in energy storage,with a particular focus on the mechanisms by which interlayer spacing modulation affects energy storage behavior in supercapacitor configurations.The discussion will encompass a comprehensive logical framework that spans material structure modifications,electronic configuration evolution,and enhancements in macroscopic device performance.This review aims to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the application of MoS_(2)in the next generation of highperformance energy storage devices.

文摘The transient liquid-phase(TLP)diffusion bonding of GH5188 with a BNi-5 interlayer was focused on.Parameters were chosen and optimized for GH5188 alloy according to the TLP joining mechanism.The microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of the joints were studied.Results show that the relatively complete isothermal solidification zone(ISZ)ensures a reliable connection of the base metal(BM).Within the temperature range of 1110–1190°C,higher bonding temperatures can widen ISZ and promote joint composition homogenization,thus improving mechanical properties.However,the increase in precipitated phase has an adverse effect on the mechanical properties of the joint.The maximum shear strength,reaching 482 MPa,is achieved at 1130°C,representing 84.6%of BM strength.Within the pressure range of 5–15 MPa,both precipitated phases in adiabatic solidification zone(ASZ)and voids generated by partial melting increase.On the contrary,their sizes decrease significantly under higher bonding pressure,resulting in an upward trend in alloy mechanical properties.The maximum shear strength of 490 MPa is attained at a bonding pressure of 15 MPa.The joint exhibits a typical mixed fracture pattern,with the small brittle M_(23)C_(6) phase and voids significantly impacting mechanical properties.Nano-indentation tests indicate that ASZ is a potential source of cracks.

文摘Due to the weak interlayer interactions,the binary Ⅲ-Ⅵ chalcogenides Ga Se can exist in several distinct polymorphs.Among them,the so-called β-and ε-phases simultaneously exhibit favorable total energies and moderate band gaps,which offer a good platform to explore their thermoelectric properties.Here,we demonstrate by first-principles calculations that the two systems have very similar band structures and phonon dispersions,despite different stacking sequences between adjacent layers.Interestingly,the lattice thermal conductivity of ε-GaSe is obviously lower than that of β-GaSe,which is inherently tied to stronger lattice anharmonicity caused by bonding heterogeneity.Besides,both systems exhibit higher p-type power factors due to doubly degenerate bands with weaker dispersions around the valence band maximum.As a consequence,a significantly enhanced p-type figure-of-merit of 2.1 can be realized at 700 K along the out-of-plane direction of theε-phase.

文摘The potential of the vertical-horizontal well hybrid SAGD technique for developing shallow heavy oil reservoirs is gradually being realized.However,challenges remain in terms of low thermal efficiency and high carbon emissions in reservoirs with interlayers.Currently,there is limited research on the low-carbon strategy of coupling exhaust gas from steam boilers with the VH-SAGD technique.Herein,considering heterogeneity,a series of flue gas-assisted VH-SAGD experiments were conducted employing a high-performance 2D visualization model.The mechanism of enhanced recovery of flue gas in VH-SAGD and the effect of its injection methods were studied,with a focus on steam chamber development and oil saturation distribution.Crucially,the interlayer length was optimized to enhance oil recovery,providing a new perspective for well location design in heavy oil reservoirs with interlayers.The results showed that flue gas,as an additive,could fully exploit the well-type advantage of VH-SAGD.By supplementing energy at the reservoir top,flue gas effectively promoted steam chamber development,expanded the oil drainage area of VH-SAGD,and increased the oil recovery from 58.9%to 71.7%.The flow channels formed by pre-injection flue gas accelerated the early-stage expansion of the steam chamber while also inducing lateral migration of steam,slowing steam rise,and consequently increasing the heating range within the low-permeability layer.When the distance between the vertical and horizontal wells was set to twice the interlayer length,the negative effects of the interlayer were more effectively turned into advantages.Because when the lateral development distance of the steam chamber in the low-permeability layer slightly exceeds the interlayer,enhanced heating of the lower part of the reservoir occurred through vertical convection of rising steam and returning condensate.The research results contribute to reducing carbon emissions from steam-based heavy oil extraction while advancing the maturity of VH-SAGD.

文摘Surface adsorption plays a crucial role in various natural and industrial processes,particularly in the field of energy storage.The adsorption of sodium atoms on 2D layered materials can significantly impact their performance as carriers and electrodes in ion batteries.While it is commonly acknowledged that pristine graphene is not favorable for sodium ion adsorption,the suitability of other 2D materials with similar honeycomb symmetry remains unclear.In this study,we employ systematic first-principles calculations to explore interlayer interactions and electron transfer effects on sodium adsorption on 2D van der Waals(vdW)heterostructures(HTSs)surfaces.Our results demonstrate that sodium adsorption is energetically favorable on these substrates.Moreover,we find that the adsorption strength can be effectively tuned by manipulation of the electron accumulation or depletion of the layer directly interacting with the sodium atom.By stacking these layered materials with different electron abundancy to form vd W HTSs,the charge density of the substrate becomes tunable through interlayer charge transfer.In these vdW HTSs,the adsorption behavior of sodium is primarily controlled by the absorption layer and exhibits a linear correlation with its pz-band center.Additionally,we identify linear correlations between the sodium adsorption energies,the electron loss of the sodium atom,the interlayer charge transfer,and the heights of the adsorbed sodium atom.These discoveries underscore the impact of interlayer electron transfer and interactions on sodium ion adsorption on 2D vd W HTSs and providing new insights into material design for alkali atom adsorption.

文摘The diversity of interlayers in shale oil reservoir leads to a low degree of vertical reconstruction.This paper aims to propose a method to guide the synchronous initiation of hydraulic fractures in different layers by drilling multi-layer radial wells in spatial positions,and to form a fracture network that satisfies the vertical propagation range and complexity.In this paper,a 3D(three-dimensional)multi-layer radial well fracturing model considering fluid-mechanics coupling is established and the properties of shale oil reservoir are characterized according to the field geological profile.The influences of radial well spacing,fracturing fluid injection rate,and fracturing fluid viscosity on vertical fracture communication in multilayer radial wells are investigated.The results show that the radial well has the characteristics of guiding fracture penetrating interlayers.Reducing radial well spacing and appropriately increasing injection rate and viscosity are beneficial to improving vertical fracture propagation ability.However,high fracture fluid viscosity under the same displacement will lead to a significant increase in fracture aperture and weaken the total fracture area.In addition,if the stress interference around the radial wells is low,the radial well can be located in the middle of each layer to minimize the fracture height limitation.This study can provide a solution idea for vertical propagation limitation of hydraulic fractures in shale oil reservoir.

文摘Lithium-sulfur batteries(LSBs)are promising energy storage systems due to their low cost and high energy density.However,sluggish reaction kinetics and the“shuttle effect”of lithium polysulfides(LiPSs)from sulfur cathode hinder the practical application of LSBs.In this work,a separator loaded with the Eu_(2)O_(3-δ)nanoparticles/carbon nanotube interlayer is designed to immobilize Li PSs and catalyze their conversion reaction.The oxygen-deficient Eu_(2)O_(3-δ)nanoparticles,with abundant catalytic sites,promote Li PSs conversion kinetics even at high current densities.Moreover,the unique 4f electronic structure of Eu_(2)O_(3-δ)effectively mitigates undesired sulfur cathode crossover,significantly enhancing the cycling performance of LSBs.Specifically,a high capacity of 620.7 mAh/g at a rate of 5 C is achieved,maintaining at 545 mAh/g after 300 cycles at 1 C.This work demonstrates the potential application of rare earth catalysts in LSBs,offering new research avenues for promoting dynamic conversion design in electrocatalysts.

文摘Cobalt phosphides are potential catalysts to assist the conversion of lithium polysulfides(LiPSs)in lithium-sulfur(Li-S)batteries.However,existing synthesis methods have difficulty precisely tuning their band valences,which is crucial to balancing intermediate products'adsorption and conversion abilities in Li-S batteries.Moreover,studies on the relationship between their band structures and electrochemical performance are limited.Herein,we report cobalt phosphides(Co_(x)P)with a heterogeneous interface of CoP/Co2P embedded in hollow carbon nanofibers(denoted as Co_(x)P@HCNF)via a one-step sequential phosphorization and carbonization strategy,which is applied as an effective interlayer for Li-S batteries.The Co band valence in CoxP was adjusted to regulate the d-p band gap.Theoretical calculations predict that Co_(x)P with a narrowed d-p band center can optimize the electron transfer kinetics and the adsorption affinity with LiPSs.Li-S full cells with a Co_(x)P@HCNF interlayer demonstrated a high specific capacity of1265 mA h g^(-1)at 0.2C and excellent cycle stability of 788 mA h g^(-1)over 400 cycles at 2.0C.A cell with a lean electrolyte(6.0μL mg^(-1))and a high sulfur loading(6.2 mg cm^(-2))delivered a high areal capacity of4.5 mA h cm^(-2)at 0.5C.This study demonstrates that bimetallic coupling-induced electronic-state modulation effectively balances the chemical adsorption and catalytic capability for developing high-performance Li-S batteries.

文摘Interlayer is an important factor affecting the distribution of remaining oil.Accurate identification of interlayer distribution is of great significance in guiding oilfield production and development.However,the traditional method of identifying interlayers has some limitations:(1)Due to the existence of overlaps in the cross plot for different categories of interlayers,it is difficult to establish a determined model to classify the type of interlayer;(2)Traditional identification methods only use two or three logging curves to identify the types of interlayers,making it difficult to fully utilize the information of the logging curves,the recognition accuracy will be greatly reduced;(3)For a large number of complex logging data,interlayer identification is time-consuming and laborintensive.Based on the existing well area data such as logging data and core data,this paper uses machine learning method to quantitatively identify the interlayers in the single well layer of CIII sandstone group in the M oilfield.Through the comparison of various classifiers,it is found that the decision tree method has the best applicability and the highest accuracy in the study area.Based on single well identification of interlayers,the continuity of well interval interlayers in the study area is analyzed according to the horizontal well.Finally,the influence of the continuity of interlayers on the distribution of remaining oil is verified by the spatial distribution characteristics of interlayers combined with the production situation of the M oilfield.

文摘The recently discovered high-temperature superconductor La_(3)Ni_(2)O_(7)under high pressure has sparked considerable debate.Central controversies revolve around whether interlayer or intralayer pairing mechanisms dominate and whether hybridization plays a crucial role in establishing superconductivity.However,experimental clarification remains challenging due to the limitations of state-of-the-art techniques under high-pressure conditions.Here,we propose that quasiparticle tunneling and Andreev reflection could offer practical methods to differentiate pairing scenarios.Specifically,we predict that hybridization between the d_(x^(2)-y^(2))metallic bands and the strongly renormalized flat d_(z^(2))quasiparticle bands may induce an asymmetric Fano line shape.In the superconducting state,we show that Andreev reflection would be significantly suppressed in interlayer pairing superconductivity with limited interlayer hopping.We recommend future experiments to test these predictions and shed light on the fundamental physics of superconducting La_(3)Ni_(2)O_(7)and other multi-layer nickelate superconductors.

文摘The big underground powerhouse cavern of the China Baihetan hydropower plant is 438m long,34m wide,and 88.7m high.It is cut by a weak interlayer shear zone and its high sidewall poses a huge stability problem.This paper reports our successful solution of this problem through numerical simulations and a replacement-tunnel scheme in the detailed design stage and close site monitoring in the excavation stage.Particularly,in the detail design stage,mechanical parameters of the shear zone were carefully determined through laboratory experiments and site tests.Then,deformation of the surrounding rocks and the shear zone under high in situ stress conditions was predicted using 3 Dimensional Distinct Element Code(3DEC).Subsequently,a replacement-tunnel scheme was proposed for the treatment on the shear zone to prevent severe unloading relaxation of surrounding rocks.In the construction period,excavation responses were closely monitored on deformations of surrounding rocks and the shear zone.The effect of local cracking in the replacement tunnels on sidewall stability was evaluated using the strength reduction method.These monitoring results were compared with the predicted numerical simulation in the detailed design stage.It is found that the shear zone greatly modified the deformation mode of the cavern surrounding rocks.Without any treatment,rock mass deformation on the downstream sidewall was larger than 125mm and the shearing deformation of the shear zone was 60–70 mm.These preset replacement tunnels can reduce not only the unloading and relaxation of rock masses but also the maximum shearing deformation of the shear zone by 10–20 mm.The predictions by numerical simulation were in good agreement with the monitoring results.The proposed tunnel-replacement scheme can not only restrain the shear zone deformation but also enhance the safety of surrounding rocks and concrete tunnels.This design procedure offers a good reference for interaction between a big underground cavern and a weak layer zone in the future.

文摘Active sulfur dissolution and shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides(LiPSs)are the main obstacles hindering the practical application of lithium-sulfur batteries(LSBs),which is primarily induced by the direct interaction between sulfur-loading cathode and liquid electrolyte.The introduction of functional interlayer within the separator and cathode is an effective strategy to stabilize the electrode/electrolyte interface reaction and improve the utilization rate of active sulfur.Herein,conductive composite nanofabrics(CCN)with multifunctional groups are employed as the interlayer of sulfur-loading cathode,in which the PMIA/PAN supporting fibers offer robust mechanical strength and high thermostable performance,and gelatin/polypyrrole functional fibers ensure high electrical conductivity and strong chemical interaction for LiPSs.As demonstrated by the experimental data and material characterizations,the presence of CCN interlayer not only blocks the shuttle behavior of LiPSs,but also strengthens the interface stability of both Li anode and sulfur-loading cathode.Interestingly,the assembled LSBs with CCN interlayer can maintain stable capacity of 686 mAh/g after 200 cycles at 0.5 A/g.This work will provide new ideas for the elaborate design of functional in terlayers/se para tors for LSBs and lithium metal batteries.

文摘Rationally design the morphology and structure of electroactive nanomaterials is an effective approach to enhance the performance of aqueous batteries.Herein,we co-engineered the hollow architecture and interlayer spacing of layered double hydroxides(LDH)to achieve high electrochemical activity.The hierarchical hollow LDH was prepared from bimetallic zeolitic imidazolate frameworks(ZIF)by a facile cation exchange strategy.Zn and Cu elements were selected as the second metals incorporated in Co-ZIF.The characteristics of the corresponding derivatives were studied.Besides,the transformation mechanism of CoZn-ZIF into nanosheet-assembled hollow Co Zn Ni LDH(denoted as CoZnNi-OH)was systematically investigated.Importantly,the interlayer spacing of CoZnNi-OH expands due to Zn^(2+)incorporation.The prepared CoZnNi-OH offers large surface area,exposed active sites,and rapid mass transfer/diffusion rate,which lead to a significant enhancement in the specific capacitance,rate performance,and cycle stability of CoZnNi-OH electrode.In addition,the aqueous alkaline CoZnNi-OH//Zn showed a maximum energy density/power density of 0.924 m Wh/cm^(2),8.479 m W/cm^(2).This work not only raises an insightful strategy for regulating the morphology and interlayer spacing of LDH,but also provides a reference of designing hollow nickel-based nanomaterials for aqueous batteries.
