However, accurately distin...Advanced chemical engineering for simultaneous modulation of nanomaterial morphology, defects, interfaces, and structure to enhance electromagnetic and microwave absorption (MA) performance. However, accurately distinguishing the MA contributions of different scale factors and tuning the optimal combined effects remains a formidable challenge. This study employs a synergistic approach combining template protection etching and vacuum annealing to construct a controlled system of micrometer-sized cavities and amorphous carbon matrices in metal-organic framework (MOF) derivatives. The results demonstrate that the spatial effects introduced by the hollow structure enhance dielectric loss but significantly weaken impedance matching. By increasing the proportion of amorphous carbon, the balance between electromagnetic loss and impedance matching can be effectively maintained. Importantly, in a suitable graphitization environment, the presence of oxygen vacancies in amorphous carbon can induce significant polarization to compensate for the reduced conductivity loss due to the absence of sp2 carbon. Through the synergistic effects of morphology and composition, the samples exhibit a broader absorption bandwidth (6.28 GHz) and stronger reflection loss (−61.64 dB) compared to the original MOF. In conclusion, this study aims to elucidate the multiscale impacts of macroscopic micro-nano structure and microscopic defect engineering, providing valuable insights for future research in this field.展开更多

New 1 : 10 000 scale structural mapping, combined with detailed petrological analysis in this area, has enabled us to accurately distinguish structures related to the Triassic continental collision from those related to post-collisional deformation in the ultrahigh pressure (UHP) metamorphic unit. The collisional or compressional structures include the massive eclogite with a weak foliation, foliated eclogite or UHP ductile shear zones, as well as upper amphibolite facies shear zones, whereas the post-collisional deformation is characterized by a regionally, flat-lying foliation containing stretching lineations and common reclined folds. The former is present exclusively in the eclogite lenses and their margins, representing orogenic thickening or syn-collisional events, while the latter was best occurred on variable scales under amphibolite facies conditions, showing sub-vertical, extreme shortening and ductile thinning of the metamorphic rock stack. The eclogite facies tectonites that have a marked fabric discordance to the penetrative amphibolite facies extension flow fabric are common. It is emphasized that an extensional tectonic setting following the collision-orogenic thickening stage was, at least partly, responsible for exhumation of the UHP metamorphic rocks in the Dabie massif. A new tectonic evolution model is proposed for the UHP metamorphic belt on the scale of the Dabie massif. The Bixiling area thus provides a window, from which the dynamic processes concerning the formation and exhumation of the UHP rocks can be observed. Regional studies in the Dabie Mountains have confirmed this interpretation.展开更多

The results demonstrate that the spatial effects introduced by the hollow structure enhance dielectric loss but significantly weaken impedance matching. By increasing the proportion of amorphous carbon, the balance between electromagnetic loss and impedance matching can be effectively maintained. Importantly, in a suitable graphitization environment, the presence of oxygen vacancies in amorphous carbon can induce significant polarization to compensate for the reduced conductivity loss due to the absence of sp2 carbon. Through the synergistic effects of morphology and composition, the samples exhibit a broader absorption bandwidth (6.28 GHz) and stronger reflection loss (−61.64 dB) compared to the original MOF. In conclusion, this study aims to elucidate the multiscale impacts of macroscopic micro-nano structure and microscopic defect engineering, providing valuable insights for future research in this field.

文摘Pyrochlore oxide(Y_(2)Ru_(2)O_(7))has been identified as a promising catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction(OER)in advanced green energy strategies.However,its electrochemical inertness necessitates the exploration of an effective strategy to facilitate electronic modulation.This study proposes a surface modification approach involving the integration of defective NiFe(D-NiFe)nanoparticles onto a Y_(2)Ru_(2)O_(7)(YRO)support(YRO@D-NiFeP/Ru)using a Prussian blue analog(PBA).Numerous cyanide(CN)vacancies are generated through the oxidation treatment of the NiFe PBA grown on the YRO support,yielding a defective PBA precursor(YRO@D-PBA).Subsequent annealing facilitates the transformation to the D-NiFe nanoparticles on the YRO support(YRO@D-NiFeP/Ru),which augments the exposure of Ni3+active sites beneficial for the OER.Moreover,the reduction of Ru cations from YRO results in the exsolution of Ru nanoparticles,which promotes synergistic charge transfer from the nanoparticles to the interior of Y_(2)Ru_(2)O_(7).Consequently,YRO@D-NiFeP/Ru exhibits a remarkable voltage of 1.49 V at 10 mA·cm^(−2) and the lowest Tafel slope of 42.4 mV·dec^(−1).In addition,a Zn–air battery constructed with YRO@D-NiFeP/Ru exhibits an outstanding power density of 136.2 mW·cm^(−2) and high charge–discharge stability,confirming the applicability of YRO@D-NiFeP/Ru in metal-air batteries.

文摘Hydrogen production coupled with small molecule oxidation derived by renewable energy power has been widely studied as an effective method to reduce energy consumption and prepare added value production.Here,the copper-cobalt phosphide with a multilevel structure has been designed based on the hard and soft acids and bases theory.The nanocone composed of lamellas presented a sharp tip,which a positive effect on the mass transfer enhanced by a local electric field,and the nanolamellas contain CoP/Cu_(3)P interface provide the highly selective active site for the gluconic acid(GNA)synthesis and hydrogen evolution.The catalyst can drive hydrogen evolution at 5 A·cm^(-2)up to 437 h without active decay,and the electrocatalytic glucose oxidation at anode presents high efficiency due to Cu(I)introduction and the synergetic effect between interfaces.Density functional theory(DFT)calculation shows that water splitting more readily occurs at the CoP,which provides adsorbed H and-OH for hydrogen evolution and glucose oxidation,respectively,and glucose adsorption more readily occurs at the Cu_(3)P,which presents lower conversion energy for high value-added GNA.Efficient hydrogen evolution and glucose conversion indicate its high intrinsic activity and synergetic effect.This work provides a special interface construction strategy for the catalytic conversion of hydrogen and small molecules.

文摘The development of cost-effective and highly stable electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reactions holds paramount importance in practical hydrogen production.Herein,we present a novel self-supported electrode comprising Ce-doped Ni-Fe-Se nanosheets grown on carbon cloth(Ni-Fe-Ce-Se/CC).This electrode was synthesized through a selenylation process,utilizing Ni-Fe-Ce-layered double hydroxide/carbon cloth(Ni-Fe-Ce LDH/CC)as the precursor.Notably,Ni-Fe-Ce-Se/CC electrode demonstrates remarkable performance,requiring a low overpotential of 300 mV to attain a current density of 100 mA·cm^(-2)under harsh alkaline conditions.Furthermore,the electrode exhibits exceptional stability during continuous operation for 100 h.Insight into the underlying mechanisms was gained through a combination of experimental results and density functional theory calculations.Our findings reveal that Ce doping induces crystal structure deformation in Ni-Fe-Se and enhances electron enrichment around Ni atoms.This structural modification optimizes the adsorption energy of oxygen-based intermediates on the Ni-Fe-Se surface.This work offers a valuable strategy for regulating the electron transfer and adsorption capabilities of transition metal selenide electrocatalysts through RE atoms doping,opening new avenues for enhanced electrocatalytic performance.

文摘The toughness of thermoplastic polymers such as polypropylene(PP)can be improved by adding elastomers-based toughening agents,and the phase morphology of these toughening agents is very important for the strength and toughness of PP.The low-temperature toughness of PP was improved by inserting high-density polyethylene(HDPE)between PP and polystyrene-b-ethylene-co-propyleneb-polystyrene(SEPS)to form an unusual SEPS@HDPE core–shell structure,with SEPS as the core and HDPE as the shell.Based on the microtopography and rheological behavior characterization,HDPE in PP/SEPS/HDPE composites was found to serve as an emulsifier,decrease the size of SEPS particles,and promote the homogeneous dispersion of dispersed phase particles in the matrix.An increase in the HDPE content shifted the toughening mechanism of PP composites from cavitation to matrix shear yielding.The reduction in the distance between the dispersed core–shell structure particles promoted shear yielding in the PP composites,leading to increased toughness.The creation of an intermediate HDPE layer with a moderate modulus was crucial for dispersing stress concentrations and significantly improving toughness without compromising the tensile strength.These findings will facilitate the fabrication of high-toughness PP products at low temperatures.

文摘AZ31 Mg alloy plates with bimodal grain structures were fabricated via conventional extrusion under varying temperatures and speeds to investigate the mechanisms governing dynamic recrystallization(DRX)and texture evolution.Although all samples exhibited similar DRXed grain sizes(5.0–6.5μm)and fractions(76%–80%),they developed distinct c-axis orientations and mechanical properties.The P1 sample(350℃,0.1 mm/min)exhibited the lowest yield strength(∼192 MPa)but the highest elongation(∼18.2%),whereas the P3 sample(400℃,0.6 mm/min)showed the highest yield strength(∼241 MPa)and the lowest elongation(∼14.2%).The P2 sample(400℃,0.1 mm/min)demonstrated intermediate behavior(∼226 MPa,∼17.7%).These variations were primarily attributed to differences in c-axis orientations,particularly their alignment with respect to the normal direction(ND)and their slight deviation from the extrusion direction(ED).Microstructural analysis revealed that distinct DRX mechanisms were activated under different extrusion conditions.P1 predominantly exhibited twinning-induced dynamic recrystallization(TDRX)and continuous dynamic recrystallization(CDRX),whereas P3 primarily showed CDRX and discontinuous dynamic recrystallization(DDRX).These DRX mechanisms,in combination with the activated slip systems governed by the evolving local stress state,collectively contributed to orientation rotation and texture development.During the early stage of extrusion,tensile strain along the ED promoted basalslip,rotating the c-axes toward the ND.As deformation progressed,compressive strain along the ND became dominant.In P1,basalslip remained active,aligning the c-axes along the ND and forming a smaller angle with the ED.In contrast,P3 exhibited predominant pyramidal<c+a>slip,resulting in a pronounced deviation of the c-axes from the ND and a slightly larger angle relative to the ED.The P2 sample exhibited a transitional texture state between those of P1 and P3.

文摘The development of atomically dispersed platinum-based catalysts with high performance and welldefined active site structures is crucial for the commercialization of water electrolysis for hydrogen production.Herein,we propose a coordination dual-shell synergistic regulation mechanism of coal pitchderived carbon-supported single atom Pt-N_(x)O_(y)-S_(1)catalytic sites by a self-assembly-pyrolysis strategy for promoting hydrogen evolution reaction(HER).The Pt-N_(3)O1-S_(1)sites exhibited the highest HER performance,with an overpotential of 92 mV at a current density of 400 mA cm^(-2).At 50 mV,the turnover frequency was 34.04 s^(-1)and the mass activity was 22.83 A mg_(Pt)^(-l),which is 63.4 times that of the 20%Pt/C catalyst.Theoretical calculations revealed that the coordination dual-shell impacts the electronic structure of the Pt atoms and the adsorption strength towards reactants synergistically.The S atoms in the second coordination shell weakened the strength of Pt-N first shell,resulting the more surface valence electrons around Pt atoms,exhibiting the most suitable adsorption free energy and enhancing the adsorption of H^(+)on Pt-N_(3)O_(1)-S_(1)sites,thus enhancing the electrocatalytic HER process by promoting Volmer step.This work reveals that coordination dual-shell synergistic regulation is an effective strategy for enhancing the electrocatalytic reaction process.

文摘A series of CoS_(2-x)Se_(x)(x=0.05,0.1,0.2,0.3,and 2)composite catalysts were synthesized on carbon fiber paper via the hydrothermal method with Se doping.By precisely controlling the reaction temperature and Se doping level,a hollow spherical catalyst structure composed of CoSSe was successfully synthesized,which exhibited exceptional activity for hydrogen evolution in acidic solutions.The influences of Se doping on the microstructure and catalytic mechanism of hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)of these composites were systematically investigated.The experimental results reveal that the hollow spherical sample displays an overpotential value of 143 mV along with a Tafel slope value of 69.8 mV·dec^(-1)at a current density of 10 mA·cm^(-2)in an acid aqueous solution.Furthermore,it demonstrates remarkable cycling stability after undergoing 3000 cycles.The comprehensive analysis indicates that Se doping optimizes the electronic structure and enhances conductivity,meanwhile the unique hollow spherical architecture increases active sites for HER and significantly improves overall electrocatalytic performance.

文摘Atomically precise palladium(Pd)clusters are emerging as versatile nanomaterials with applications in catalysis and biomedicine.This study explores the synthesis,structure evolution,and catalytic properties of Pd clusters stabilized by cyclohexanethiol(HSC_(6)H_(11))ligands.Using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry(ESI-MS)and single-crystal X-ray diffraction(SXRD),structures of the Pd clusters ranging from Pd4(SC_(6)H_(11))8 to Pd18(SC_(6)H_(11))36 were determined.This analysis revealed a structure evolution from polygonal to elliptical geometries of the PdnS2n frameworks as the cluster size increased.UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy,combined with quantum chemical calculations,elucidated changes in the electronic structure of the clusters.Catalytic studies on the Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions demonstrated a size-dependent decline in activity attributed to variations in structural arrangements and electronic properties.Mechanistic insights proposed a distinctive Pd(Ⅱ)-Pd(Ⅳ)catalytic cycle.This research underscores how ligands and cluster size influence the structures and properties of Pd clusters,offering valuable insights for the future design and application of Pd clusters in advanced catalysis and beyond.

文摘Li/MnO_(2) primary batteries are widely used in industry for their high specific capacity and safety.However,a deep comprehension of the Li^(+)insertion mechanism and the high self-discharge rate of the batteries is still needed.Here,the storage mechanism of Li^(+)in the tunnel structure of MnO_(2) as well as the dissolution and migration of Mn-ions were investigated based on multi-scale approaches.The Li/Mn ratio(at%)is determined at about 0.82 when the discharge voltage decreases to 2 V.The limited Li-ions transport rate in the bulk MnO_(2) restrains the reduction reaction,resulting in a low practical specific capacity.Moreover,utilizing spherical aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy(TEM)coupled with electron energy loss spectroscopy(EELS),the presence of a mixed valence state layer of Mn^(2+)/Mn^(3+)/Mn^(4+)on the surface of the original 20 nm MnO_(2) particles was identified,which could contribute to the initial dissolution of Mn-ions.The battery separator exhibited channels for Mn-ions migration and diffusion and aggregated Mn particles.We put forward the discharge and degradation route in the ways of Mn-ions trajectories,and our findings provide a deep understanding of the high self-discharge rates and the capacity decay of Li-Mn primary batteries.

文摘A dynamic compression test was performed on α+β dual-phase titanium alloy Ti20C using a split Hopkinson pressure bar.The formation of adiabatic shear bands generated during the compression process was studied by combining the proposed multi-scale crystal plasticity finite element method with experimental measurements.The complex local micro region load was progressively extracted from the simulation results of a macro model and applied to an established three-dimensional multi-grain microstructure model.Subsequently,the evolution histories of the grain shape,size,and orientation inside the adiabatic shear band were quantitatively simulated.The results corresponded closely to the experimental results obtained via transmission electron microscopy and precession electron diffraction.Furthermore,by calculating the grain rotation and temperature rise inside the adiabatic shear band,the microstructural softening and thermal softening effects of typical heavily-deformed α grains were successfully decoupled.The results revealed that the microstructural softening stress was triggered and then stabilized(in general)at a relatively high value.This indicated that the mechanical strength was lowered mainly by the grain orientation evolution or dynamic recrystallization occurring during early plastic deformation.Subsequently,thermal softening increased linearly and became the main softening mechanism.Noticeably,in the final stage,the thermal softening stress accounted for 78.4% of the total softening stress due to the sharp temperature increase,which inevitably leads to the stress collapse and potential failure of the alloy.

文摘The utilization of iron coke provides a green pathway for low-carbon ironmaking.To uncover the influence mechanism of iron ore on the behavior and kinetics of iron coke gasification,the effect of iron ore on the microstructure of iron coke was investigated.Furthermore,a comparative study of the gasification reactions between iron coke and coke was conducted through non-isothermal thermogravimetric method.The findings indicate that compared to coke,iron coke exhibits an augmentation in micropores and specific surface area,and the micropores further extend and interconnect.This provides more adsorption sites for CO_(2) molecules during the gasification process,resulting in a reduction in the initial gasification temperature of iron coke.Accelerating the heating rate in non-isothermal gasification can enhance the reactivity of iron coke.The metallic iron reduced from iron ore is embedded in the carbon matrix,reducing the orderliness of the carbon structure,which is primarily responsible for the heightened reactivity of the carbon atoms.The kinetic study indicates that the random pore model can effectively represent the gasification process of iron coke due to its rich pore structure.Moreover,as the proportion of iron ore increases,the activation energy for the carbon gasification gradually decreases,from 246.2 kJ/mol for coke to 192.5 kJ/mol for iron coke 15wt%.
文摘As one of the most important industrially viable methods for carbon dioxide(CO_(2))utilization,methanol synthesis serves as a platform for production of green fuels and commodity chemicals.For sustainable methanol synthesis,In_(2)O_(3)is an ideal catalyst and has garnered significant attention.Herein,cubic In_(2)O_(3)nanoparticles were prepared via the precipitation method and evaluated for CO_(2)hydrogenation to produce methanol.During the initial 10 h of reaction,CO_(2)conversion gradually increased,accompanied by a slow decrease of methanol selectivity,and the reaction reached equilibrium after 10-20 h on stream.This activation and induction stage may be attributed to the sintering of In_(2)O_(3)nanoparticles and the creation of more oxygen vacancies on In_(2)O_(3)surfaces.Further experimental studies demonstrate that hydrogen induction created additional oxygen vacancies during the catalyst activation stage,enhancing the performance of In_(2)O_(3)catalyst for CO_(2)hydrogenation.Density functional theory calculations and microkinetic simulations further demonstrated that surfaces with higher oxygen vacancy coverages or hydroxylated surfaces formed during this induction period can enhance the reaction rate and increase the CO_(2)conversion.However,they predominantly promote the formation of CO instead of methanol,leading to reduced methanol selectivity.These predictions align well with the above-mentioned experimental observations.Our work thus provides an in-depth analysis of the induction stage of the CO_(2)hydrogenation process on In_(2)O_(3)nano-catalyst,and offers valuable insights for significantly improving the CO_(2)reactivity of In_(2)O_(3)-based catalysts while maintaining long-term stability.

文摘The Longmenshan structural belt on the eastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau experienced the impactful Mw7.92008 Wenchuan Earthquake,causing a 350 km surface rupture.Traditional models attribute this to the Beichuan and Pengguan faults,but our research reveals a complex fault system at the northern end,with inconsistencies in surface rupture,aftershock distribution,and focal mechanisms.We integrate shallow geology,active source seismic reflection,and magnetotelluric profiling to establish a deep structural model for the northern end of the Longmenshan structural belt.This area exhibits dominant reverse thrust nappe tectonics,and analyzing the tectonic evolution history provides insights into deformation propagation from the orogenic belt toward the Sichuan Basin.Focal mechanism analysis and relocated aftershock data reveals two distinct types of seismogenic structures in the northern end of the Longmenshan structural belt.In the middle to northern segments,the reverse fault type is attributed to reactivated pre-existing faults.Conversely,at the northern end,the strike-slip fault type originates from high-angle co-seismic rupture cutting through pre-existing reverse faults.This study enhances our understanding of fault complexity and seismic mechanisms in the northeastern Longmenshan structural belt,providing new insights into regional tectonics.

文摘By integrating topology optimization and lattice-based optimization,a novel multi-scale design method is proposed to create solid-lattice hybrid structures and thus to improve the mechanical performance as well as reduce the structural weight.To achieve this purpose,a two-step procedure is developed to design and optimize the innovative structures.Initially,the classical topology optimization is utilized to find the optimal material layout and primary load carrying paths.Afterwards,the solid-lattice hybrid structures are reconstructed using the finite element mesh based modeling method.And lattice-based optimization is performed to obtain the optimal crosssection area of the lattice structures.Finally,two typical aerospace structures are optimized to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed optimization framework.The numerical results are quite encouraging since the solid-lattice hybrid structures obtained by the presented approach show remarkably improved performance when compared with traditional designs.

文摘Detailed three-dimensional structural studies indicate that the Bixiling area, Dabie massif, central China shows the deepest exposed levels of the orogenic wedge formed during the Triassic Yangtze -Sino-Korean continental collision. New 1 : 10 000 scale structural mapping, combined with detailed petrological analysis in this area, has enabled us to accurately distinguish structures related to the Triassic continental collision from those related to post-collisional deformation in the ultrahigh pressure (UHP) metamorphic unit. The collisional or compressional structures include the massive eclogite with a weak foliation, foliated eclogite or UHP ductile shear zones, as well as upper amphibolite facies shear zones, whereas the post-collisional deformation is characterized by a regionally, flat-lying foliation containing stretching lineations and common reclined folds. The former is present exclusively in the eclogite lenses and their margins, representing orogenic thickening or syn-collisional events, while the latter was best occurred on variable scales under amphibolite facies conditions, showing sub-vertical, extreme shortening and ductile thinning of the metamorphic rock stack. The eclogite facies tectonites that have a marked fabric discordance to the penetrative amphibolite facies extension flow fabric are common. It is emphasized that an extensional tectonic setting following the collision-orogenic thickening stage was, at least partly, responsible for exhumation of the UHP metamorphic rocks in the Dabie massif. A new tectonic evolution model is proposed for the UHP metamorphic belt on the scale of the Dabie massif. The Bixiling area thus provides a window, from which the dynamic processes concerning the formation and exhumation of the UHP rocks can be observed. Regional studies in the Dabie Mountains have confirmed this interpretation.
