文摘Under the context of global energy transition and carbon neutrality,controlling nitrogen oxide(NO_(x))emissions from biomass combustion is of great significance,and the development of high-efficiency low-temperature catalysts has become a current research focus.In this study,Nb was used to dope and modify the Mn_(7)-Cu_(3)/BCN catalyst to construct the Mn_(7)-Cu_(3)-Nb_(x)/BCN system.The doping amount was optimized through selective catalytic reduction(SCR)activity tests.The reaction mechanism was explored by combining in situ DRIFTS and density functional theory(DFT)simulations.Experimental findings revealed that the catalyst doped with 0.05%Nb achieved the optimal performance,sustaining a NO conversion efficiency of≥94%within the temperature window of 150−275℃while demonstrating improved resistance to alkali metal K poisoning.Mechanistic analyses showed that at low temperatures,the catalyst facilitated the SCR reaction via both the Eley-Rideal(E-R)and Langmuir-Hinshelwood(L-H)pathways,with the synergistic interaction between multiple active sites driving the efficient conversion of NH3 and NO.DFT calculations further confirmed that both pathways had the characteristics of low reaction energy barriers and significant exothermicity,ensuring the high activity and feasibility of the low-temperature reaction.The findings provided foundational theoretical support for the design of Nb-doped Mn-Cu-supported catalysts and the exploration of the underlying working mechanisms.

文摘The paleo-geothermal gradient is a crucial parameter for converting the thermal history to the exhumation history.However,the precise estimation of this parameter has been a challenge.This paper presents a simple two-step method to model the paleo-geothermal gradient using low-temperature thermochronology.(1)It uses the Monte Carlo approach to generate thermal histories in a vertical section randomly and calculates the entire thermal history within the goodnessof-fit thresholds based on different paleo-geothermal gradients.(2)It selects the optimum paleogeothermal gradient by comparing the entire thermal history within different goodness-of-fit thresholds.We validated the method with apatite(U-Th)/He and fission track data collected from two drill cores in the Haiyuan-Liupanshan region.The result revealed that the best-fit paleo-geothermal gradient was~42℃/km during the Early Cretaceous–Miocene and has decreased rapidly to 20℃/km since~10 Ma.The crust thickening in the study area may explain the rapid reduction in the paleogeothermal gradient since~10 Ma.Our results are consistent with earlier studies in the region,suggesting that our simple and more intuitive approach provides an alternative method for paleogeothermal gradient modeling.

文摘In igneous-intruded coal seams,coal undergoes significant metamorphism,which critically alters its pore structure and oxygen consumption dynamics,thereby elevating its spontaneous combustion tendency.This study investigates the specific surface area,pore volume,structure complexity/connectivity,heterogeneity/local features of pore size distribution,and oxygen consumption dynamics of igneous metamorphic coal through N_(2)/CO_(2) isothermal adsorption tests and low-temperature oxidation experiments,and elucidates the influence mechanisms of pore structure evolution on oxygen consumption dynamics during low-temperature oxidation.With increasing metamorphic degree,igneous metamorphic coal exhibits a more pronounced reduction in specific surface area during oxidation,while the increase in structure complexity due to coal-oxygen reactions is suppressed.Thermally metamorphic coal demonstrates accelerated oxygen consumption,with oxidation amplifying the difference in reaction rates compared to raw coal.Key mechanisms include oxidation-induced reduction in mesopore complexity and micropore volume,decreased dominance of small-pore-volume apertures,and increased heterogeneity,collectively leading to a lower half-oxygen-consuming temperature and steeper oxygen consumption curves.Simultaneously,increased pore volume/complexity and reduced uniformity/connectivity act synergistically to enhance oxygen consumption capacity,highlighting the coupling between pore structure evolution and oxidation behavior in igneous metamorphic coal.This study provides theoretical insights into the pore-oxygen coupling mechanisms governing coal spontaneous combustion in igneous intrusion areas.

文摘Lithium-ion batteries(LIBs),while dominant in energy storage due to high energy density and cycling stability,suffer from severe capacity decay,rate capability degradation,and lithium dendrite formation under low-temperature(LT)operation.Therefore,a more comprehensive and systematic understanding of LIB behavior at LT is urgently required.This review article comprehensively reviews recent advancements in electrolyte engineering strategies aimed at improving the low-temperature operational capabilities of LIBs.The study methodically examines critical performance-limiting mechanisms through fundamental analysis of four primary challenges:insufficient ionic conductivity under cryogenic conditions,kinetically hindered charge transfer processes,Li+transport limitations across the solidelectrolyte interphase(SEI),and uncontrolled lithium dendrite growth.The work elaborates on innovative optimization approaches encompassing lithium salt molecular design with tailored dissociation characteristics,solvent matrix optimization through dielectric constant and viscosity regulation,interfacial engineering additives for constructing low-impedance SEI layers,and gel-polymer composite electrolyte systems.Notably,particular emphasis is placed on emerging machine learning-guided electrolyte formulation strategies that enable high-throughput virtual screening of constituent combinations and prediction of structure-property relationships.These artificial intelligence-assisted rational design frameworks demonstrate significant potential for accelerating the development of next-generation LT electrolytes by establishing quantitative composition-performance correlations through advanced data-driven methodologies.

文摘Agglomeration supports the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry,and its associated resource and environmental effects play a crucial role in driving green economic development.Based on data from prefecture-level cities in China from 2005 to 2019,this study employs the inverse distance weighting method,the bivariate local indicator of spatial association model,the spatial Durbin model,and other techniques to explore the relationship between manufacturing agglomeration and PM_(2.5)concentrations,and to assess the impact of its manufacturing agglomeration.Four correlation patterns are observed:high-high,low-low,high-low,and low-high.Among these,high-high and low-low patterns dominate in terms of number of cities.These correlation patterns demonstrate strong temporal stability,with a clear“Matthew effect”.The effect of manufacturing agglomeration on PM_(2.5)levels is significantly negative and helps reduce concentrations regionally,indicating the need to further enhance agglomeration levels regionally.However,it can increase PM_(2.5)levels in neighboring areas due to a siphon effect,and the impact of varies across regions.Compared with levels in 2005-2013,the significance of the relationship between manufacturing agglomeration and PM_(2.5)weakened in the 2013-2019 period.Accordingly,this study proposes countermeasures and policy recommendations aimed at strengthening regional collaborative governance and inspiring differentiated agglomeration strategies to support sustainable economic development in China.

文摘Protons emerge as superior charge carriers due to the lowest mass-to-charge ratio,ultra-high natural abundance,and the smallest ionic radius.Herein,2.0 M H_(2) SO_(4) dissolved in EG(ethylene glycol)/H_(2)O cosolvent is investigated as an aqueous proton battery electrolyte,which not only enhances the cycling performance of MoO_(3) nanorod anode but also improves its low-temperature electrochemical performance.Specifically,the EG tightly adsorbs onto the surface of MoO_(3) nanorods,thereby inhibiting the corrosion from H_(2)O molecules in the electrolyte and suppressing the dissolution of MoO_(3).In addition,EG molecule disturbs the hydrogen-bond network between H_(2)O molecules,which greatly decreases the freezing point of the electrolyte,endowing the MoO_(3) nanorods with excellent low-temperature electrochemical performance.Therefore,the MoO_(3) nanorods exhibit a capacity retention of 96.9%after 2000 cycles at a current density of 10 A g^(-1)in a three-electrode system.After assembling with CuHCF cathode,under-40℃,the full battery displays negligible capacity decay for over 2500 cycles at 1 A g^(-1).These results indicate that the cosolvent strategy has the promising potential in enhancing the performance of aqueous proton batteries.

文摘To completely recover valuable elements and reduce the amount of waste,the impact of phosphoric acid on the decomposition of rare earth,fluorine and phosphorus during cyclic leaching was studied based on the characteristics of low-tempe rature sulfuric acid deco mposition.When a single monazite was leached using 75 wt% H_(2)SO_(4) solution with phosphoric acid,the size and number of monazite particles in the washing slag gradually decrease with the increase in phosphoric acid content in the leaching solution.The monazite phase can hardly be found in the slag when the phosphoric acid content reaches 70 g/L,which indicates that phosphoric acid is favorable for monazite decomposition.The mixed rare earth concentrate was leached by 75 wt% H_(2)SO_(4) containing 70 g/L phosphoric acid,the mineral compositions of the washing slag are only gypsum and unwashed rare earth sulfuric acid.After cyclic leaching of75 wt% H_(2)SO_(4),the mineral compositions of the primary leaching washing slag are mainly undecomposed monazite,rare earth sulfate and calcium sulfate.However,monazite is not found in the mineral phase of the second and third leaching washing slag.The leaching rates of rare earth and phosphorus gradually increase with the increase in cyclic leaching times.In addition,the phosphoric acid content in the leaching solution increases with the increase in the number of cyclic leaching time.However,the rising trend decreases when the phosphoric acid content reaches 50 g/L by adsorption and crystallization of phosphoric acid.A small amount of water can be used to clean the leaching residue before washing to recover the more soluble phosphorus acid according to the difference of dissolution between phosphoric acid and rare earth sulfuric acid.

文摘Beam-tracking simulations have been extensively utilized in the study of collective beam instabilities in circular accelerators.Traditionally,many simulation codes have relied on central processing unit(CPU)-based methods,tracking on a single CPU core,or parallelizing the computation across multiple cores via the message passing interface(MPI).Although these approaches work well for single-bunch tracking,scaling them to multiple bunches significantly increases the computational load,which often necessitates the use of a dedicated multi-CPU cluster.To address this challenge,alternative methods leveraging General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units(GPGPU)have been proposed,enabling tracking studies on a standalone desktop personal computer(PC).However,frequent CPU-GPU interactions,including data transfers and synchronization operations during tracking,can introduce communication overheads,potentially reducing the overall effectiveness of GPU-based computations.In this study,we propose a novel approach that eliminates this overhead by performing the entire tracking simulation process exclusively on the GPU,thereby enabling the simultaneous processing of all bunches and their macro-particles.Specifically,we introduce MBTRACK2-CUDA,a Compute Unified Device Architecture(CUDA)ported version of MBTRACK2,which facilitates efficient tracking of single-and multi-bunch collective effects by leveraging the full GPU-resident computation.

文摘Preferential magnesium(Mg)electrodeposition on separators is a ubiquitous yet poorly understood phenomenon in rechargeable Mg-metal batteries,posing a fundamental challenge to their development.In this work,the synergy effects of interface-accelerating desolvation and spatial confinement have been demonstrated as the essential causation of this counterintuitive experimental phenomenon.At the molecular level,the imide ring(-CO-NR-CO-,in which R represents the phenyl)groups in an artificially introduced polyimide(PI)interlayer facilitate the strong electrostatic affinity towards Mg^(2+),which accelerates the desolvation process for Mg^(2+)solvation structures at the inner Helmholtz plane.At the nucleation scale,the wedge-like concave geometry formed at the PI/current collector interface provides energetically favorable sites for Mg nucleation.This unique architecture reduces the critical nucleus size,thereby significantly lowering nucleation energy barriers.As a result,the satisfactory Coulombic efficiency for Mg plating/stripping(98.22%)and cycle lifespan(1200 cycles,above 100 days)have been achieved,outperforming most of the previous results.This work pioneers a molecular-level understanding of separator-directed Mg deposition and resolves a long-standing confusion in Mg-metal batteries.

文摘Understanding Cd contamination in the soil-rice ecosystem and the underlying its threshold and interaction effects is crucial for controlling Cd pollution and ensuring food safety.Although the quantitative relationships between Cd and environmental variables have been extensively studied,the threshold and interaction effects of multi-source environmental variables remain largely unexplored.This study employs a combination of random forest analysis and a human health risk model to investigate the effects of variables on Cd levels in rice grains,with the goal of quantifying their contributions and elucidating their relationships.The results indicated that the 15 selected variables collectively explained 47.36%of the variation in Cd content,with the top three variables being soil pH,distance from industrial park,and soil Zn.The majority of variables exhibited threshold effects on Cd levels in rice grains.By visualizing the interaction between Soil pH,distance from industrial park,and soil Zn with Cd levels in rice,we demonstrate the threshold effects of them on Cd level in rice grains,thereby providing further insight into the variation observed.Furthermore,oral intake of rice has been identified as the primary route of human exposure,significantly contributing to overall exposure pathways.Understanding these interactions is crucial for gaining insights into the underlying processes driving Cd pollution and fostering sustainable development within the industry.Our findings underscore the crucial need to consider multiple environmental variables and their interactions when managing heavy metals(HMs)contamination and mitigating health risks.

文摘Single-atom catalysts(SACs)have demonstrated excellent performance in heterogeneous catalytic reactions owing to their maximized atomic efficiency,distinctive geometric,and electronic configurations.However,the efficacy of SACs remains limited for certain reactions requiring simultaneous activation of multiple reactants over metallic active sites.Herein,we report an atomically dispersed Pt1Ru1 dual-atom pair site anchored on nanodiamond@graphene(ND@G)for CO oxidation.The Pt1Ru1 dual-atom catalyst shows an exceptional turnover frequency(TOF)of 17.6.10^(-2)s^(-1)at significantly lower temperature(30℃),achieving a tenfold increase in TOF compared to singleatom Pt1/ND@G catalyst(1.5.10^(-2)s^(-1))and surpassing to previously reported Pt-based catalysts under similar conditions.Moreover,the catalyst demonstrates excellent stability,maintaining its activity for 40 h at 80℃without significant deactivation.The superior catalytic performance of Pt-Ru dual-atom catalysts is attributed to the synergistic effect between Pt and Ru atoms with enhanced metallicity for improving simultaneous adsorption and activation of CO and O_(2),and the tuning of conventional competitive reactant adsorption into a non-competitive pathway over dual-atom pair sites.The present work manifests the advantages of dual-atom pair sites in heterogeneous catalysis and paves the way for precise design of catalysts at the atomic scale.

文摘[Objectives]To explore the control mode of farmland drainage pollutants and investigate the effects of ecological ditch and wetland on reducing farmland drainage pollutants in Hetao Irrigation District.[Methods]Based on the demonstration construction project of the ecological ditch-constructed wetland system in the Hetao Irrigation District,an experimental study was conducted from July to September 2023 to investigate the interception and purification effects of ecological ditches,constructed wetlands,and the combined ecological ditch-constructed wetland system on farmland drainage pollutants.Key water quality parameters measured included total nitrogen(TN)concentration and total phosphorus(TP)concentration.[Results]Different treatment modes of ecological ditches and constructed wetlands have a certain removal effect on nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants in water bodies.The ecological ditches treated with Astragalus laxmannii,Melilotus officinalis,Medicago sativa,bio-ball substrate,and bio-sheet substrate showed reduction efficiencies for TN and TP of 21.09% and 23.84%,12.06% and 26.67%,20.08% and 34.15%,23.65% and 20.56%,and 19.92% and 25.83%,respectively.The emergent plant area showed reduction efficiencies of 24.28%for TN and 17.89%for TP,while the submerged plant area achieved a reduction efficiency of 10.21%for both TN and TP.Among the different treatment modes,the ecological ditch with M.sativa performed better in TP removal,whereas the bio-ball substrate treatment mode showed higher effectiveness in TN removal.In addition,the emergent plant area exhibited better TP removal performance,while the submerged plant area was more effective in TN removal.The combined system of ecological ditch and constructed wetland achieved removal rates of 37.55% for TN and 11.47% for TP.It effectively facilitates the step-by-step interception and adsorption purification of pollutants,thereby showing significant removal and purification effects on nitrogen and phosphorus contaminants.This contributes to mitigating agricultural non-point source pollution.[Conclusions]The combined ecological ditch-constructed wetland system serves dual functions of agricultural drainage and pollutant interception and purification.It reduces the pollution load of farmland drainage on receiving water bodies to some extent and mitigates agricultural non-point source pollution.Therefore,it is a relatively suitable technology for managing agricultural non-point source pollution in the Hetao Irrigation District.

文摘Existing studies on the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership(RCEP)mainly focused on institutional features,macro-economic impacts,and trade-network structures,while its geographic attributes and their implications remain underexplored.Taking the RCEP as a case,this paper examines how the FTA reshapes China’s trade geography and validates these effects with an enhanced GTAP model,providing an empirical basis for advancing trade-geography theory.Key findings include:(1)RCEP significantly reduces regional trade costs.After full implementation of the agreement,the average tariffs among member countries will decrease to 40.5%of the pre-implementation level,while import and export trade facilitation levels improve by 34.3%and 29.6%,respectively.However,these improvements exhibit marked regional disparities.(2)RCEP asymmetrically promotes China’s foreign trade growth,with stronger import stimulation than export expansion,alongside significant product-specific variations.(3)The agreement reshapes China’s trade geography,driving a 7.66%increase in intra-RCEP trade while reducing extra-RCEP trade by 0.80%.(4)The restructuring of China’s trade patterns under RCEP emerges from the complex interplay of trade creation,diversion,and crowding-out effects.Accordingly,China should further harmonize regional tariff schedules,enhance trade-facilitation mechanisms,strengthen industrial competitiveness and expand multilateral partnerships.
