The mechanisms of the microstructural evolution of the TaZrNb/TA15 interface were investigated via SEM, EBSD, EDS, and XRD.Interface mechanical property tests and in-situ tensile tests were conducted on the sphere-containing structure, and an equivalent tensile-strength model was established for the structure. The results revealed that the TA15 titanium alloy and joint had high density and no pores or cracks. The thickness of the planar joint was approximately 50-60 μm. The average tensile and shear strengths were 767 MPa and 608 MPa, respectively. The thickness of the spherical joint was approximately 60 μm. The Zr and Nb elements in the joint diffused uniformly and formed strong bonds with Ti without forming intermetallic compounds. The interface exhibited submicron grain refinement and a concave-convex interlocking structure. The tensile fracture surface primarily exhibited intergranular fracture combined with some transgranular fracture, which constituted a quasi-brittle fracture mode. The shear fracture surface exhibited brittle fracture with regular arrangements of furrows. Internal fracture occurred along the spherical interface, as revealed by advanced in-situ X-ray microcomputed tomography. The experimental results agreed well with the theoretical predictions, indicating that the high-strength interface contributes to the overall strength and toughness of the sphere-containing structure.展开更多

The thermal performance of the material under steady-state (SS) high heat flux was evaluated under actively cooling conditions, the specimens were mechanically joined to copper heat sink with supercarbon sheet as a compliant layer between the interfaces. The experiments have been performed in a facility of ACT (actively cooling test stand) with a 100 kW electron gun in order to test the suitability and the loading limit of such materials. The surface temperature and bulk temperature distribution of the specimens were investigated. The experimental results are very encouraging that when heat flux is not more than 6 MW/m2, the surface temperature of GBST1308 is less than 1000℃, which is the lowest, compared with IG-430U and even with CX-2002U (CFC); The primary results indicate that the mechanically-joined material system by such a proper design as thin tile, super compliant layer, GBST as a PFM and copper-alloy heat sink, can be used as divertor plates for HT-7U in the first phase.展开更多

The materials were characterized by X-ray dif-fraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM)/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Indigo carmine (IC) was chosen as a model for organic pollutants and used to evaluate the photocatalytic performance of the photo-catalysts under simulated solar light. Commercial ZrO2 was used as a reference material. XRD and Raman results indicated the for-mation of both tetragonal and monoclinic phase ZrO2 with particle size ranging from 8–30 nm. Multi-element doping had a great in-fluence on the optical responses manifested as red shift in the absorption edge. The highest photocatalytic activity towards IC was observed for the Eu,C,N,S-doped ZrO2 (0.6 mol.%Eu) sample (k=1.09×10–2 min–1). The commercial ZrO2 showed the lowest photo-degradation activity (k=5.83×10–4 min–1). The results showed that the control of Eu doping in the C,N,S-ZrO2 was very important in reducing electron-hole recombination. The synergistic effect of Eu, C, N, and S in the ZrO2 matrix led to enhanced utilization of simulated solar energy for the degradation of IC through narrowing of bandgaps.展开更多

C-type grids are produced on each element′s body and in their wakes at first, O-type grids are given in the outmost area, and H-type grids are used in middle additional areas. An algebra method is used to produce the initial grids in each area. And the girds are optimized by elliptical differential equation method. Then C-O-H zonal patched grids around multi-element airfoils are produced automatically and efficiently. A time accurate finite-volume integration method is used to solve the compressible laminar and turbulent Navier-Stokes (N-S) equations on the grids. Computational results prove the method to be effective.展开更多

By comparing the Raman spectra of pristine and doped nanotubes, we observed the doping-induced Raman G band phonon stiffening and 2D band phonon softening, both of which reflect doping-induced renormalization of the electron and phonon energies in the nan- otubes and behave as expected in accord with the n-type doping effect. On the basis of first principles calculations of the distribution of delocalized carrier density in both the pristine and doped nanotubes, we show how the n-type doping occurs when nitrogen heteroatoms are substitutionally incorporated into the honeycomb tube-shell carbon lattice.展开更多

Photocatalytic degradation of Methyl Blue was tested under visible light irradiation, the results showed that 1 wt.% Na+bulk-doped WO3 performed better, with higher photoactivity than surface-doped WO3. Photoelectrochemical characterization revealed the differences in the photocatalytic process for surface doping and bulk doping. Uniform bulk doping could generate more electron–hole pairs, while minimizing the chance of electron–hole recombination. Some bulk properties such as the bandgap, Fermi level and band position could also be adjusted by bulk doping, but not by surface doping.展开更多

The microstructures of FeCoNi MEAs with different contents of Al and Sc were characterized and the strengthening mechanisms were discussed. The results show that FeCoNi MEA with a low content of Al has a face-centered cubic(FCC) structure. The yield strength increases linearly with the increase of Al content, which is largely caused by solid solution hardening. Further addition of Sc can promote the formation of a new phase in(FeCoNi)1-xAlx MEAs. A minor addition of Sc can significantly increase the yield strengths of(FeCoNi)1-xAlx MEAs with a low Al content and improve the compressive plasticity of(FeCoNi)1-xAlx MEAs with a high Al content.展开更多

文摘Mn^(2+)-doped CsPbCl_(3)(Mn^(2+):CsPbCl_(3)) nanocrystals(NCs) have attracted considerable attention due to their unique strong and broad orange-red emission band,presenting promising applications in the field of photoelectric devices.However,pristine Mn^(2+):CsPbCl_(3)NCs commonly suffer from low photoluminescence quantum yield(PL QY) and stability issues.Herein,we introduced europium ions(Eu^(3+))into Mn^(2+):CsPbCl_(3)NCs via the thermal injection synthesis method to obtain high performance Eu^(3+)and Mn^(2+)codoped CsPbCl_(3)(Eu^(3+)/Mn^(2+):CsPbCl_(3)) NCs.The maximum PL QY of the resulting Eu^(3+)/Mn^(2+):CsPbCl_(3)NCs reaches up to 90.92%.It is found that the doping of Eu^(3+)ions significantly reduces the non-radiative recombination caused by high defect states,and improves the energy transfer efficiency from exciton to Mn^(2+),thereby boosting the PL performance.Moreover,doping Eu^(3+)ions notably improves the UV-light and water stability of Mn^(2+):CsPbCl_(3)NCs.We further demonstrate the application versatility of Eu^(3+)/Mn^(2+):CsPbCl_(3)NCs in white light emitting diodes(WLEDs) and optical anticounterfeiting applications.This work provides a valuable perspective for the attainment of high performance Mn^(2+):CsPbCl_(3)NCs and lays a foundation for the codoping of other lanthanide ions to adjust the luminescence properties of Mn^(2+):CsPbCl_(3)NCs.

文摘The outstanding performance of O3-type NaNi_(1/3)Fe_(1/3)Mn_(1/3)O_(2)(NFM111)at both high and low temperatures coupled with its impressive specific capacity makes it an excellent cathode material for sodium-ion batteries.However,its poor cycling,owing to highpressure phase transitions,is one of its disadvantages.In this study,Cu/Ti was introduced into NFM111 cathode material using a solidphase method.Through both theoretically and experimentally,this study found that Cu doping provides a higher redox potential in NFM111,improving its reversible capacity and charge compensation process.The introduction of Ti would enhance the cycling stability of the material,smooth its charge and discharge curves,and suppress its high-voltage phase transitions.Accordingly,the NaNi_(0.27)Fe_(0.28)Mn_(0.33)Cu_(0.05)Ti_(0.06)O_(2)sample used in the study exhibited a remarkable rate performance of 142.97 mAh·g^(-1)at 0.1 C(2.0-4.2 V)and an excellent capacity retention of 72.81%after 300 cycles at 1C(1C=150 mA·g^(-1)).

文摘This study focused on improving the cathode performance of Ba_(0.6)Sr_(0.4)Co_(0.85)Nb_(0.15)O_(3-δ)(BSCN)-based perovskite materials through molybdenum(Mo)doping.Pure BSCN and Mo-modified-BSCN—Ea_(0.6)Sr_(0.4)Co_(0.85)Nb_(0.1)Mo_(0.05)O_(3-δ)(B S CNM_(0.05)),Ba_(0.6)Sr_(0.4)Co_(0.85)Nb_(0.05)Mo_(0.1)O_(3-δ)(BSCNM_(0.1)),and Ba_(0.6)Sr_(0.4)Co_(0.85)Mo_(0.15)O_(3-δ)(BSCM)—with Mo doping contents of 5mol%,10mol%,and15mol%,respectively,were successfully prepared using the sol-gel method.The effects of Mo doping on the crystal structure,conductivity,thermal expansion coefficient,oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)activity,and electrochemical performance were systematically evaluated using X-ray diffraction analysis,thermally induced characterization,electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,and single-cell performance tests.The results revealed that Mo doping could improve the conductivity of the materials,suppress their thermal expansion effects,and significantly improve the electrochemical performance.Surface chemical state analysis using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that 5mol%Mo doping could facilitate a high adsorbed oxygen concentration leading to enhanced ORR activity in the materials.Density functional theory calculations confirmed that Mo doping promoted the ORR activity in the materials.At an operating temperature of 600℃,the BSCNM_(0.05)cathode material exhibited significantly enhanced electrochemical impedance characteristics,with a reduced area specific resistance of 0.048Ω·cm~2,which was lower than that of the undoped BSCN matrix material by 32.39%.At the same operating temperature,an anode-supported single cell using a BSCNM_(0.05)cathode achieved a peak power density of 1477 mW·cm^(-2),which was 30.71%,56.30%,and 171.50%higher than those of BSCN,BSCNM_(0.1),and B SCM,respectively.The improved ORR activity and electrochemical performance of BSCNM_(0.05)indicate that it can be used as a cathode material in low-temperature solid oxide fuel cells.

文摘In recent years,the research on superconductivity in one-dimensional(1D)materials has been attracting increasing attention due to its potential applications in low-dimensional nanodevices.However,the critical temperature(T_(c))of 1D superconductors is low.In this work,we theoretically investigate the possible high T_(c) superconductivity of(5,5)carbon nanotube(CNT).The pristine(5,5)CNT is a Dirac semimetal and can be modulated into a semiconductor by full hydrogenation.Interestingly,by further hole doping,it can be regulated into a metallic state with the sp3-hybridized𝜎electrons metalized,and a giant Kohn anomaly appears in the optical phonons.The two factors together enhance the electron–phonon coupling,and lead to high-T_(c) superconductivity.When the hole doping concentration of hydrogenated-(5,5)CNT is 2.5 hole/cell,the calculated T_(c) is 82.3 K,exceeding the boiling point of liquid nitrogen.Therefore,the predicted hole-doped hydrogenated-(5,5)CNT provides a new platform for 1D high-T_(c) superconductivity and may have potential applications in 1D nanodevices.

文摘The development of optoelectronic technologies demands photodetectors with miniaturization,broadband operation,high sensitivity,and low power consumption.Although 2D van der Waals(vd W)heterostructures are promising candidates due to their built-in electric fields,ultrafast photocarrier separation,and tunable bandgaps,defect states limit their performance.Therefore,the modulation of the optoelectronic properties in such heterostructures is imperative.Surface charge transfer doping(SCTD)has emerged as a promising strategy for non-destructive modulation of electronic and optoelectronic characteristics in two-dimensional materials.In this work,we demonstrate the construction of high-performance p-i-n vertical heterojunction photodetectors through SCTD of MoTe_(2)/ReS_(2)heterostructure using p-type F_(4)-TCNQ.Systematic characterization reveals that the interfacial doping process effectively amplifies the built-in electric field,enhancing photogenerated carrier separation efficiency.Compared to the pristine heterojunction device,the doped photodetector exhibits remarkable visible to nearinfrared(635-1064 nm)performance.Particularly under 1064 nm illumination at zero bias,the device achieves a responsivity of 2.86 A/W and specific detectivity of 1.41×10^(12)Jones.Notably,the external quantum efficiency reaches an exceptional value of 334%compared to the initial 11.5%,while maintaining ultrafast response characteristics with rise/fall times of 11.6/15.6μs.This work provides new insights into interface engineering through molecular doping for developing high-performance vd W optoelectronic devices.

文摘Peroxymonosulfate(PMS)-based advanced oxidation processes(AOPs)are an effective way to remove emerging contaminants(ECs)from water.The catalytic process involving PMS is hindered by the suboptimal electron trans-fer efficiency of current catalysts,the further application of AOPs technology is limited.Here,it is proposed that the interfacial electric field can be controlled by bor(B)-doped FeNC catalysts,which shows significant advantages in the efficient generation,release and participation of reactive oxygen species(ROS)in the reaction.The super exchange interaction between Fe sites and N and B sites is realized through the directional transfer of electrons in the interfacial electric field,which ensures the high efficiency and stability of the PMS catalytic process.B doping increases the d orbitals distribution at Fermi level,which facilitates enhanced electron transition activity,thereby promoting the effective generation of (1)^O_(2).At the same time,orbital hybridization causes the center of the d band to move to a lower energy level,which not only contributes to the desorption process of (1)^O_(2),but also accelerates its release.In addition,B-doping also improved the adsorption capacity of organic pollutants and shortened the migration distance of ROS,thereby significantly improving the degradation efficiency of ECs.The B-doping strategy outlined offers a novel approach to the development of FeNC catalysts,it lays a theoretical foundation and offers technical insights for the integration of PMS/AOPs technology in the ECs management.
文摘For a complex flow about multi-element airfoils a mixed grid method is set up. C-type grids are produced on each element′s body and in their wakes at first, O-type grids are given in the outmost area, and H-type grids are used in middle additional areas. An algebra method is used to produce the initial grids in each area. And the girds are optimized by elliptical differential equation method. Then C-O-H zonal patched grids around multi-element airfoils are produced automatically and efficiently. A time accurate finite-volume integration method is used to solve the compressible laminar and turbulent Navier-Stokes (N-S) equations on the grids. Computational results prove the method to be effective.
文摘Sol--gol method was employed to synthesize Mg doped ZnO films on Si substrates. The annealing temperature-dependent structure and optical property of the produced samples were studied. An interesting result observed is that increasing Mg concentration in the studied samples induces the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of their near-band-edge (NBE) emission decrease and the defect related emission of the corresponding sample suppresses drastically. The possible mechanism of the observed result is discussed.

文摘Almost half of all flight accidents caused by inflight icing occur at the approach and landing phases when high-lift devices are deployed.The present study focuses on the optimization of an ice-tolerant multi-element airfoil.Dual-objective optimization is carried out with critical hornshaped ice accumulated during the holding phase.The optimization results show that the present optimization method significantly enhances the iced-state and clean-state performance.The optimal multi-element airfoil has a larger deflection angle and wider gap at the slat and the flap compared with the baseline configuration.The sensitivity of each design parameter is analyzed,which verifies the robustness of the design.The design is further assessed when ice is accreted during the approach and landing phases,which also shows performance improvement.

文摘Nitrogen-doped single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNx-SWNTs) with tunable dopant concentrations were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and their structure and elemental composition were characterized by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in combination with electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). By comparing the Raman spectra of pristine and doped nanotubes, we observed the doping-induced Raman G band phonon stiffening and 2D band phonon softening, both of which reflect doping-induced renormalization of the electron and phonon energies in the nan- otubes and behave as expected in accord with the n-type doping effect. On the basis of first principles calculations of the distribution of delocalized carrier density in both the pristine and doped nanotubes, we show how the n-type doping occurs when nitrogen heteroatoms are substitutionally incorporated into the honeycomb tube-shell carbon lattice.

文摘To study the effects of the gamma reflection of multi-element materials,gamma ray transport models of single-element materials,such as iron and lead,and multielement materials,such as polyethylene and ordinary concrete,were established in this study.Relationships among the albedo factors of the gamma photons and energies and average energy of the reflected gamma rays by material type,material thickness,incident gamma energy,and incidence angle of gamma rays were obtained by Monte Carlo simulation.The results show that the albedo factors of single-element and multi-element materials increase rapidly with an increase in the material thickness.When the thickness of the material increases to a certain value,the albedo factors do not increase further but rather tend to the saturation value.The saturation values for the albedo factors of the gamma photons,and energies and the reflection thickness are related not only to the type of material but also to the incident gamma energy and incidence angle of the gamma rays.At a given incident gamma energy,which is between 0.2 and 2.5 MeV,the smaller the effective atomic number of the multi-element material is,the higher the saturation values of the albedo factors are.The larger the incidence angle of the gamma ray is,the greater the saturation value of the gamma albedo factor,saturation reflection thickness,and average saturation energy of the reflected gamma photons are.

文摘Na+doped WO3 nanowire photocatalysts were prepared by using post-treatment(surface doping) and in situ(bulk doping) doping methods. Photocatalytic degradation of Methyl Blue was tested under visible light irradiation, the results showed that 1 wt.% Na+bulk-doped WO3 performed better, with higher photoactivity than surface-doped WO3. Photoelectrochemical characterization revealed the differences in the photocatalytic process for surface doping and bulk doping. Uniform bulk doping could generate more electron–hole pairs, while minimizing the chance of electron–hole recombination. Some bulk properties such as the bandgap, Fermi level and band position could also be adjusted by bulk doping, but not by surface doping.

文摘Monometallic doping has proved its superiority in improving either permselectivity or H_(2) permeability of organosilica membranes for H_(2)/CO_(2) separation,but it is still challenging to break the trade-off effect.Herein,we report a series of Pd-Nb bimetallic doped 1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane(Pd-Nb-BTESE,PNB)membranes with different metal doping routes for simultaneously improving H_(2) permeance and H_(2)/CO_(2) permselectivity by the synergetic effects of Pd and Nb.The doped Pd can exist in the BTESE network as nanoparticles while the doped Nb is incorporated into BTESE network forming Nb-O-Si covalent bonds.The metal doping routes significantly influence the microstructure of PNB networks and gas separation performance of the PNB membranes.We found that the PNB membrane with Pd doping priority(PNB-Pd)exhibited the highest surface area and pore volume,comparing with Nb doping priority(PNB-Nb)or Pd-Nb simultaneous doping(PNB-PdNb).The PNB-Pd membrane could not only exhibit an excellent H_(2) permeance of~10^(−6) mol·m^(−2)·s^(−1)·Pa^(−1) but also a high H_(2)/CO_(2) permselectivity of 17.2.Our findings may provide novel insights into preparation of bimetallic doped organosilica membranes with excellent H_(2)/CO_(2) separation performance.

文摘Due to their superior fluorescence,phosphorescence,and catalytic capabilities,carbon dots(CDs),an emerging class of fluorescent carbon nanomaterials,have a wide range of potential applications.The properties of CDs have recently been controlled extensively by heteroatom doping.Boron atoms have been effectively doped into the structure of CDs due to their similar size to carbon atoms and excellent electron-absorbing ability to further improve the performance of CDs.In this review,we summarize the research progress of boron-doped CDs in recent years from the aspects of doping strategies,effects of boron doping on different performances of CDs and applications.Starting from the two aspects of single boron doping and boron and other atom co-doping,from different precursor materials to different synthesis methods,the doping strategies of boron-doped CDs are reviewed in detail.Then,the effects of boron doping on the fluorescence,phosphorescence and catalytic performance of CDs and applications of boron-doped CDs in optical sensors,information encryption and anti-counterfeiting are discussed.Finally,we further provide a prospect towards the future development of boron-doped CDs.

文摘The effects of Al and Sc on mechanical properties of FeCoNi multi-element alloys(MEAs) were investigated by compressive tests. The microstructures of FeCoNi MEAs with different contents of Al and Sc were characterized and the strengthening mechanisms were discussed. The results show that FeCoNi MEA with a low content of Al has a face-centered cubic(FCC) structure. The yield strength increases linearly with the increase of Al content, which is largely caused by solid solution hardening. Further addition of Sc can promote the formation of a new phase in(FeCoNi)1-xAlx MEAs. A minor addition of Sc can significantly increase the yield strengths of(FeCoNi)1-xAlx MEAs with a low Al content and improve the compressive plasticity of(FeCoNi)1-xAlx MEAs with a high Al content.
