Die-upset magnets had the characteristics of inhomogeneous microstructure, including well-aligned grains structure and nonaligned grains layers transverse to press direction, which was quasi-periodic layer structure with a total length of 5-15 μm. Nonaligned grains layers were mainly made of large grains and had higher Nd content. To clearly understand the formation of layer structure, the microstructure of isotropic precursors with different hot pressing temperatures and their subsequent die-upset magnets was investigated. A new interpretation for the formation of layer structure was proposed in this paper： the layer structure was correlated to the original ribbon interface which was divided into three types based on the contact forms. Because of the incomplete contact of neighboring ribbons, concentration of stress occurred in the contacted points and the Nd-rich phase was squeezed into interspaces at high temperature under stress. Due to the release of interfacial energy and the fluidity of enough Nd-rich liquid phases, the nonaligned layers with large grains formed both in hot compaction and subsequent hot deformation process. The layer structure affected the magnetic properties of die-upset magnets. With increase of the hot pressing temperature, the nonaligned grains layers became thicker, and the magnetic performance of die-upset magnets decreased. It was necessary to reduce the thickness of large grains layers for the preparation of high-performance die-upset magnets.展开更多

The characteristics of humic acid aggregates coagulated by different iron-based coagulants, such as charge, size, fractal dimension and compressibility, have an effect on the cake layer structure. At the optimum iron dose of 0.6 to 0.8 mmol/L for ferric chloride （FC） and polymer ferric sulfate （PFS） pre-coagulation, at the point of charge neutralization for near zero zeta potential, the aggregate particles produced possess the greatest size and highest fractal dimension, which contributes to the cake layer being most loose with high porosity and low compressibility. Thus the membrane filterability is better. At a low or high iron dose of FC and PFS, a high negative or positive zeta potential with high charge repulsion results in so many small aggregate particles and low fractal dimension that the cake layer is compact with low porosity and high compressibility. Therefore the membrane fouling is accelerated and MF permeability becomes worse. The variation of cake layer structure as measured by scanning electric microscopy corresponds with the fact that the smaller the coagulation flocs size and fractal dimension are, the lower the porosity and the tighter the cake layer conformation. This also explains the MF membrane flux variation visually and accurately.展开更多

The carburizing rate is 60～80 times of that of the traditional technology, and there is about 43% decrease in the activation energy compared with gas-carburization. In outer structure layer, cementite is formed simultaneously both on the crystal boundary reticularly and inside the crystal grains stripedly. In inner carburizing layer, there is undissolved blocky ferrite in reticular cementite. Besides, rare earth element can expedite carburization process.展开更多

MSS method can synthesize plate-like SrBi4Ti4O15 at lower temperature （900℃） than CS method. Plate-like form becomes more distinct when the synthesis temperature increases. This would help cause the grain orientation of the ceramics after sintering. The sintered samples of MSS had grain orientation at （0,0, 10） plane. The degree of （0,0,10） grain orientation F was 62.1% . Hot pressing made （0,0,10） grain orientation more distinct （ F = 85.7% ）. The microstructures of the sintered samples were detected by SEM. Due to the grain orientation the density of samples fabricated by MSS was lower than that of prepared by CS.展开更多

However, conventional ZIBs are severely limited by the development of high energy density cathode materials with reversible Zn^(2+)insertion/extraction. Herein, a conducting polymer intercalated MoO_(3)(PMO) with extensively extended interlayer spacing is developed as a high-performance ZIBs cathode material. The interlayer spacing of PMO is prominently increased which results in an improved Zn^(2+)mobility during charge and discharge process. More significantly, the electrochemical results reveals that the intercalation of PANI facilitates the charge storage and reinforces the layered structure of MoO_(3), leading to a high capacity and good cycling stability. DFT calculation further reveals the intercalation of PANI into MoO_(3)significantly lower Zn^(2+)diffusion barrier. Benefit from these advantages, the ZIBs based on PMO electrode delivers a considerable capacity of 157 m Ah/g at 0.5 A/g and ameliorative stability with 63.4%capacity retention after 1000 cycles.展开更多

The results show that the diffusion path in solid-liquid reaction is Ni3Si/（T＋γ）/γ/…T/γ/Ni4Zn12Si3/γ/…Ni4Zn12Si3/γ/Ni4Zn12Si3/δ…/Ni4Zn12Si3/δ/liquid-Zn, and the diffusion path in solid-vapor reaction is Ni3Si/θ/（T＋γ）/γ/…/T/γ/…T/γ/vapor-Zn. With increasing Zn diffusion flux, the diffusion reaction path moves toward the Zn-rich direction, and the distance from the Ni3Si substrate to the periodic layer pair nearest to the interface decreases. In the initial stage of both reactions,γphase nucleates and grows within T matrix phase at first, and then conjuncts together to form a band to reduce the surface energy. Based on the experimental results and diffusion kinetics analysis, the microstructure differences were compared and the formation mechanism of the periodic layered structure in Ni3Si/Zn system was discussed.展开更多

Because of the incomplete contact of neighboring ribbons, concentration of stress occurred in the contacted points and the Nd-rich phase was squeezed into interspaces at high temperature under stress. Due to the release of interfacial energy and the fluidity of enough Nd-rich liquid phases, the nonaligned layers with large grains formed both in hot compaction and subsequent hot deformation process. The layer structure affected the magnetic properties of die-upset magnets. With increase of the hot pressing temperature, the nonaligned grains layers became thicker, and the magnetic performance of die-upset magnets decreased. It was necessary to reduce the thickness of large grains layers for the preparation of high-performance die-upset magnets.

文摘A cake layer is formed by coagulation aggregates under certain transmembrane pressure in the coagulation-microfiltration （MF） process. The characteristics of humic acid aggregates coagulated by different iron-based coagulants, such as charge, size, fractal dimension and compressibility, have an effect on the cake layer structure. At the optimum iron dose of 0.6 to 0.8 mmol/L for ferric chloride （FC） and polymer ferric sulfate （PFS） pre-coagulation, at the point of charge neutralization for near zero zeta potential, the aggregate particles produced possess the greatest size and highest fractal dimension, which contributes to the cake layer being most loose with high porosity and low compressibility. Thus the membrane filterability is better. At a low or high iron dose of FC and PFS, a high negative or positive zeta potential with high charge repulsion results in so many small aggregate particles and low fractal dimension that the cake layer is compact with low porosity and high compressibility. Therefore the membrane fouling is accelerated and MF permeability becomes worse. The variation of cake layer structure as measured by scanning electric microscopy corresponds with the fact that the smaller the coagulation flocs size and fractal dimension are, the lower the porosity and the tighter the cake layer conformation. This also explains the MF membrane flux variation visually and accurately.

MSS method can synthesize plate-like SrBi4Ti4O15 at lower temperature （900℃） than CS method. Plate-like form becomes more distinct when the synthesis temperature increases. This would help cause the grain orientation of the ceramics after sintering. The sintered samples of MSS had grain orientation at （0,0, 10） plane. The degree of （0,0,10） grain orientation F was 62.1% . Hot pressing made （0,0,10） grain orientation more distinct （ F = 85.7% ）. The microstructures of the sintered samples were detected by SEM. Due to the grain orientation the density of samples fabricated by MSS was lower than that of prepared by CS.

文摘Aqueous zinc-ion batteries(ZIBs) have attracted significant attentions because of low cost and high reliability. However, conventional ZIBs are severely limited by the development of high energy density cathode materials with reversible Zn^(2+)insertion/extraction. Herein, a conducting polymer intercalated MoO_(3)(PMO) with extensively extended interlayer spacing is developed as a high-performance ZIBs cathode material. The interlayer spacing of PMO is prominently increased which results in an improved Zn^(2+)mobility during charge and discharge process. More significantly, the electrochemical results reveals that the intercalation of PANI facilitates the charge storage and reinforces the layered structure of MoO_(3), leading to a high capacity and good cycling stability. DFT calculation further reveals the intercalation of PANI into MoO_(3)significantly lower Zn^(2+)diffusion barrier. Benefit from these advantages, the ZIBs based on PMO electrode delivers a considerable capacity of 157 m Ah/g at 0.5 A/g and ameliorative stability with 63.4%capacity retention after 1000 cycles.

文摘This paper theoretically investigates the influence of a cylindrical PN junction on the propagation characteristics of shear cylindrical waves(SCWs)in an infinitely long piezoelectric semiconductor(PS)concentric cylinder structure.This PS concentric cylinder structure is composed of three regions:an inner PS cylinder,an outer PS cylindrical shell,and a cylindrical PN junction at the interface between the two aforementioned regions.First,the basic equations of the PS concentric cylinder structure are derived,taking into account the coupling of the mechanical displacement,electric potential,and charge carrier perturbation in the cylindrical coordinate system.Next,a mathematical model for the SCWs in this PS concentric cylinder structure is established,utilizing the spectral method and considering the physical characteristics of the cylindrical PN junction.Finally,the dispersion and attenuation curves of the SCWs are numerically calculated to discuss the influence of the interface effect resulting from the cylindrical PN junction.It is found that the existence of a cylindrical PN junction can either reduce or enhance the mechanical-to-electrical energy conversion,which is closely related to the doping mode,doping concentration,and curvature radius of the cylindrical interface.A reasonable design of the aforementioned parameters can optimize the wave motion in acoustic equipment formed by PS media with different frequencies or wavelengths.The construction and resolution of the mathematical model as well as the analysis of physical mechanisms can offer theoretical guidance for improving the efficiency of energy conversion from mechanical energy to electrical energy and optimizing the acoustic performance of energy harvesting devices.

文摘This study focuses on steeply inclined and extremely thick coal seams(SIETCS)characterized by immense thickness,a steep inclination of coal seams(87°),and high horizontal stress.The geological conditions and mining technology associated with SIETCS differ significantly from those of generally inclined coal seams,resulting in notable variations in roadway stress distributions.On SIETCS have predominantly examined the impact of rock layers flanking coal seams on rock bursts,with limited emphasis on SIETCS roadways.This study employs comprehensive methods,integrating numerical simulations,theoretical analyses,and field detections to investigate the stress distribution of SIETCS and the mechanisms of rock burst-induced vertical damage,subsequently validated in situ.The vertical stress in SIETCS is minimal,while horizontal stress is concentrated,leading to the formation of layered crack structures(LCS)that distribute above and below the roadways.Additionally,elastic energy significantly concentrates within the LCS.Axial dynamic compressive stress and vertical dynamic tensile stress along the LCS diminish its stability,readily triggering failure.During the LCS failure process,the stored energy is released,converting into kinetic energy required for coal body ejection after reaching the minimum energy for failure and dissipative energy,ultimately leading to rock burst-induced vertical damage in roadways.On-site detection and analysis within SIETCS,along with historical rock burst data,confirm the existence of LCS and its role in inducing vertical rock burst damage.This research establishes essential foundations for preventing rock bursts within SIETCS.
文摘Multi-layer riveted structures are widely applied to aircraft.During the service,cracks may appear within these structures due to stress concentration of the riveted holes.The guided wave monitoring has been proved to be an effective tool to deal with this problem.However,there is a lack of understanding of the wave propagation process across such kinds of structures.This study proposes a piezoelectric guided wave simulation method to reveal the propagation of guided waves in multi-layer riveted structures.Effects of pretension force,friction coefficient,and cracks that might influence wave characteristics are studied.The guided wave simulation data is compared with the experimental results and the results verify the simulation model.Then the guided wave propagation in a more complex long-beam butt joint structure is further simulated.

文摘It has always been challenging work to reconcile the contradiction between the strength and plasticity of titanium materials.Laser powder bed fusion(LPBF) is a convenient method to fabricate innovative composites including those inspired by gradient layered materials.In this work,we used LPBF to selectively prepare Ti N/Ti gradient layered structure(GLSTi)composites by using different N_(2)–Ar ratios during the LPBF process.We systematically investigated the mechanisms of in-situ synthesis Ti N,high strength and ductility of GLSTi composites using microscopic analysis,TEM characterization,and tensile testing with digital image correlation.Besides,a digital correspondence was established between the N_(2) concentration and the volume fraction of LPBF in-situ synthesized Ti N.Our results show that the GLSTi composites exhibit superior mechanical properties compared to pure titanium fabricated by LPBF under pure Ar.Specifically,the tensile strength of GLSTi was more than 1.5times higher than that of LPBF-formed pure titanium,reaching up to 1100 MPa,while maintaining a high elongation at fracture of 17%.GLSTi breaks the bottleneck of high strength but low ductility exhibited by conventional nanoceramic particle-strengthened titanium matrix composites,and the hetero-deformation induced strengthening effect formed by the Ti N/Ti layered structure explained its strength-plasticity balanced principle.The microhardness exhibits a jagged variation of the relatively low hardness of 245 HV0.2 for the pure titanium layer and a high hardness of 408 HV0.2 for the N_(2) in-situ synthesis layer.Our study provides a new concept for the structure-performance digital customization of 3D-printed Ti-based composites.

文摘The balance between cationic redox and oxygen redox in layer-structured cathode materials is an important issue for sodium batteries to obtain high energy density and considerable cycle stability.Oxygen redox can contribute extra capacity to increase energy density,but results in lattice instability and capacity fading caused by lattice oxygen gliding and oxygen release.In this work,reversible Mn^(2+)/Mn^(4+)redox is realized in a P3-Na_(0.65)Li_(0.2)Co_(0.05)Mn_(0.75)O_(2)cathode material with high specific capacity and structure stability via Co substitution.The contribution of oxygen redox is suppressed significantly by reversible Mn^(2+)/Mn^(4+)redox without sacrificing capacity,thus reducing lattice oxygen release and improving the structure stability.Synchrotron X-ray techniques reveal that P3 phase is well maintained in a wide voltage window of 1.5-4.5 V vs.Na^(+)/Na even at 10 C and after long-term cycling.It is disclosed that charge compensation from Co/Mn-ions contributes to the voltage region below 4.2 V and O-ions contribute to the whole voltage range.The synergistic contributions of Mn^(2+)/Mn^(4+),Co^(2+)/Co^(3+),and O^(2-)/(O_n)^(2-)redox in P3-Na_(0.65)Li_(0.2)Co_(0.05)Mn_(0.75)O_(2)lead to a high reversible capacity of 215.0 m A h g^(-1)at 0.1 C with considerable cycle stability.The strategy opens up new opportunities for the design of high capacity cathode materials for rechargeable batteries.

文摘The morphological distribution of absorbent in composites is equally important with absorbents for the overall electromagnetic properties,but it is often ignored.Herein,a comprehensive consideration including electromagnetic component regulation,layered arrangement structure,and gradient concentration distribution was used to optimize impedance matching and enhance electromagnetic loss.On the microscale,the incorporation of magnetic Ni nanoparticles into MXene nanosheets(Ni@MXene)endows suitable intrinsic permittivity and permeability.On the macroscale,the layered arrangement of Ni@MXene increases the effective interaction area with electromagnetic waves,inducing multiple reflection/scattering effects.On this basis,according to the analysis of absorption,reflection,and transmission(A-R-T)power coefficients of layered composites,the gradient concentration distribution was constructed to realize the impedance matching at low-concentration surface layer,electromagnetic loss at middle concentration interlayer and microwave reflection at high-concentration bottom layer.Consequently,the layered gradient composite(LG5-10-15)achieves complete absorption coverage of X-band at thickness of 2.00-2.20 mm with RL_(min) of-68.67 dB at 9.85 GHz in 2.05 mm,which is 199.0%,12.6%,and 50.6%higher than non-layered,layered and layered descending gradient composites,respectively.Therefore,this work confirms the importance of layered gradient structure in improving absorption performance and broadens the design of high-performance microwave absorption materials.

文摘Carbonaceous material has attracted much attention in the application of sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)anode.However,sluggish reaction kinetics and structure stability impede the application.Therefore,a stacked layered sulfur-carbon complex with long-chain C–S_(x)–C bond(M-SC-S)is prepared.The layered structure ensures structural stability,and long-chain C–S_(x)–C bond expanding interlayer spacing boosts facile Na+diffusion.When assembled into cells,a high-quality solid-electrolyte interphase film would be formed due to a good match between the M-SC-S electrode and ether electrolyte.Moreover,an electrochemical activation process would happen between the Cu current collector and proper S-doped electrode material to in-situ form Cu_(2)S.The formation of Cu_(2)S in active material can not only provide more active sites for sodium storage and enhance pseudo-capacitance,but also reinforce the electrode/current collector interface and decrease the interfacial transfer resistance for rapid Na+kinetics.The synergistic effect of structure design and interface engineering optimizes the sodium storage system.Thus,the M-SC-S electrode delivers an excellent cyclic performance(321.6 mAh g^(−1)after 1000 cycles at 2 A g^(−1)with a capacity retention rate of 97.4%)and good rate capability(282.8 mAh g^(−1)after 4000 cycles even at a high current density of 10 A g^(−1)).The full cell also has an impressive cyclic performance(151.4 mAh g^(−1)after 500 cycles at 0.5 A g^(−1)).

文摘The recently reported silicon/graphite(Si/Gr)composite electrode with a layered structure is a promising approach to achieve high capacity and stable cycling of Si-based electrodes in lithium-ion batteries.However,there is still a need to clarify why particular layered structures are effective and why others are ineffective or even detrimental.In this work,an unreported mechanism dominated by the porosity evolution of electrodes is proposed for the degradation behavior of layered Si/Gr electrodes.First,the effect of layering sequence on the overall electrode performance is investigated experimentally,and the results suggest that the cycling performance of the silicon-on-graphite(SG)electrode is much superior to that of the graphite-on-silicon electrode.To explain this phenomenon,a coupled mechanical-electrochemical porous electrode model is developed,in which the porosity is affected by the silicon expansion and the local constraints.The modeling results suggest that the weaker constraint of the silicon layer in the SG electrode leads to a more insignificant decrease in porosity,and consequently,the more stable cycling performance.The findings of this work provide new insights into the structural design of Si-based electrodes.

文摘Due to excellent thermal insulation performance at room temperature and ultralow density,silica aero-gels are candidates for thermal insulation.However,at high temperatures,the thermal insulation prop-erty of silica aerogels decreased greatly caused by transparency to heat radiation.Opacifiers introduced into silica sol can block heat radiation yet destroy the uniformity of aerogels.Herein,we designed and prepared a silica aerogel composite with oriented and layered silica fibers(SFs),SiC nanowires(SiC_(NWs)),and silica aerogels,which were prepared by papermaking,chemical vapor infiltration(CVI),and sol-gel respectively.Firstly,oriented and layered SFs made still air a wall to block heat transfer by the solid phase.Secondly,SiC_(NWs) were grown in situ on the surface of SFs evenly to weave into the network,and the network reduced the gaseous thermal conductivity by dividing cracks in SFs/SiC_(NWs)/SA.Thirdly,SiC_(NWs) weakened the heat transfer by radiation at high temperatures.Therefore,SFs/SiC_(NWs)/SA presented remarkable thermal insulation(0.017 W(m K)^(-1) at 25℃,0.0287 W(m K)^(-1) at 500℃,and 0.094 W(m K)^(-1) at 1000℃).Besides,SFs/SiC_(NWs)/SA exhibited remarkable thermal stability(no size transform after being heat treated at 1000℃ for 1800 s)and tensile strength(0.75 MPa).These integrated properties made SFs/SiC_(NWs)/SA a promising candidate for highly efficient thermal insulators.
文摘The vertical structure of Planetary boundary layer over Arctic floating ice is presented by using about 50 atmospheric profiles and relevant data sounded at an ice station over Arctic Ocean from 22 August to 3 September,2003.It shows that the height of the convective boundary layer in day is greater than that of the stability boundary layer in night.The boundary layer can be described as vertical structures of stability,instability and multipling The interaction between relative warm and wet down draft air from up level and cool air of surface layer is significant,which causes stronger wind shear,temperature and humidity inversion with typical wind shear of 10 m/s/100 m,intensity of temperature inversion of 8 ℃/100 m.While the larger pack ice is broken by such process,new ice free area in the high latitudes of arctic ocean.The interactions between air/ice/water are enhanced.The fact helps to understanding characteristics of atmospheric boundary layer and its effect in Arctic floating ice region.

文摘A detailed analysis of a sea breeze front(SBF)that penetrated inland in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei urban agglomeration of China was conducted.We focused on the boundary layer structure,turbulence intensity,and fluxes before and after the SBF passed through two meteorological towers in the urban areas of Tianjin and Beijing,respectively.Significant changes in temperature,humidity,winds,CO_(2),and aerosol concentrations were observed as the SBF passed.Differences in these changes at the two towers mainly resulted from their distances from the ocean,boundary layer conditions,and background turbulences.As the SBF approached,a strong updraft appeared in the boundary layer,carrying near-surface aerosols aloft and forming the SBF head.This was followed by a broad downdraft,which destroyed the near-surface inversion layer and temporarily increased the surface air temperature at night.The feeder flow after the thermodynamic front was characterized by low-level jets horizontally,and downdrafts and occasional updrafts vertically.Turbulence increased significantly during the SBF’s passage,causing an increase in the standard deviation of wind components in speed.The increase in turbulence was more pronounced in a stable boundary layer compared to that in a convective boundary layer.The passage of the SBF generated more mechanical turbulences,as indicated by increased friction velocity and turbulent kinetic energy(TKE).The shear term in the TKE budget equation increased more significantly than the buoyancy term.The atmosphere shifted to a forced convective state after the SBF’s passage,with near isotropic turbulences and uniform mixing and diffusion of aerosols.Sensible heat fluxes(latent heat and CO_(2)fluxes)showed positive(negative)peaks after the SBF’s passage,primarily caused by horizontal and vertical transport of heat(water vapor and CO_(2))during its passage.This study enhances understanding of boundary layer changes,turbulences,and fluxes during the passage of SBFs over urban areas.

文摘The formation of periodic layered structure in Ni3Si/Zn diffusion couples with Zn in vapor or liquid state was investigated by SEM-EDS, FESEM and XRD. The results show that the diffusion path in solid-liquid reaction is Ni3Si/（T＋γ）/γ/…T/γ/Ni4Zn12Si3/γ/…Ni4Zn12Si3/γ/Ni4Zn12Si3/δ…/Ni4Zn12Si3/δ/liquid-Zn, and the diffusion path in solid-vapor reaction is Ni3Si/θ/（T＋γ）/γ/…/T/γ/…T/γ/vapor-Zn. With increasing Zn diffusion flux, the diffusion reaction path moves toward the Zn-rich direction, and the distance from the Ni3Si substrate to the periodic layer pair nearest to the interface decreases. In the initial stage of both reactions,γphase nucleates and grows within T matrix phase at first, and then conjuncts together to form a band to reduce the surface energy. Based on the experimental results and diffusion kinetics analysis, the microstructure differences were compared and the formation mechanism of the periodic layered structure in Ni3Si/Zn system was discussed.
