The flexibly controlled transverse energy flow rings of the tightly focused ellipticity-variant vector optical fields with and without phase masks can be used to transport multiple absorptive particles along certain paths, which may be widely applied in optical trapping and manipulation.展开更多

文摘The nature and distribution of Cu species in Cu-SSZ-13 play a vital role in selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH3(NH3-SCR),but existing methods for adjusting the Cu distribution are complex and difficult to control.Herein,we report a simple and effective ion-exchange approach to regulate the Cu distribution in the one-pot synthesized Cu-SSZ-13 that possesses sufficient initial Cu species and thus provides a“natural environment”for adjusting Cu distribution precisely.By using this proposed strategy,a series of Cu-SSZ-13x zeolites with different Cu contents and distributions were obtained.It is shown that the dealumination of the as-synthesized Cu-SSZ-13 during the ion-exchange generates abundant vacant sites in the double six-membered-rings of the SSZ-13 zeolite for relocating Cu2+species and thus allows the redistribution of the Cu species.The catalytic results showed that the ion-exchanged Cu-SSZ-13 zeolites exhibit quite different catalytic performance in NH3-SCR reaction but superior to the parent counterpart.The structure–activity relationship analysis indicates that the redistribution of Cu species rather than other factors(e.g.,crystallinity,chemical composition,and porous structure)is responsible for the improved NH3-SCR performance and SO_(2) and H_(2)O resistance.Our work offers an effective method to precisely adjust the Cu distribution in preparing the industrial SCR catalysts.

文摘Oxygen evolution reaction(OER)is widely recognized as a bottleneck of water electrolysis.To determine the underlying reaction mechanisms,particularly the relative contribution of the adsorbate evolution mechanism(AEM)and lattice-oxygen participation mechanism(LOM),we conduct a comprehensive investigation combining Density Functional Theory(DFT)calculations and experimental validation.Our theoretical analysis of doped RuO_(2)catalysts reveals that heteroatom doping(Ni,Cu,and Zn)induces significant local charge transfer,leading to the increased charge state of Ru and the downshifted d-band center.This,in turn,enables the mechanism switching from the conventional AEM to the more efficient LOM,and finally improves OER activity.We also establish a simple yet powerful descriptor,Ne of Ru(representing charge density of Ru sites),which enables accurate prediction of both catalytic activity and stability.Guided by these theoretical predictions,we successfully synthesize a Ni-doped RuO_(2)catalyst,which exhibits excellent OER activity and stability in acidic media,achieving an overpotential of just 156 mV and maintaining stability for 4000 h at 10 mA cm^(−2),significantly surpassing the performance of the commercial RuO_(2).These findings not only provide fundamental insights into the mechanism-switching behavior in OER catalysis but also offer a practical strategy for designing high-performance,stable electrocatalysts for acidic water electrolysis.

文摘Poly(phenylene oxide)(PPO)exhibits excellent dielectric properties,making it an ideal substrate for high-frequency,high-speed copper-clad laminates.The phenolic hydroxyl group at the end of PPO plays a key role in its reactivity.Accurately quantifying the phenolic hydroxyl content in PPO is essential but challenging.In this study,we proposed a method for measuring the phenolic hydroxyl content of PPO using differential UV absorption spectroscopy.In alkaline solutions,the phenolic hydroxyl in PPO completely ionizes to form phenoxide ions,leading to a significant increase in UV absorbance at approximately 250 and 300 nm.Notably,the differential UV absorbance at approximately 300 nm was directly proportional to the phenolic hydroxyl concentration.Using 2,6-dimethylphenol as a standard,a calibration curve was established to relate the phenolic hydroxyl concentration to differential UV absorbance at approximately 300 nm,providing a precise and straightforward method for phenolic hydroxyl quantification in PPO with distinct advantages over conventional techniques.
文摘Shorebirds migrate long-distances along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway(EAAF),exhibiting distinct spatiotemporal fluctuations in population dynamics.Because of habitat degradation and population declines at key stopover sites along the EAAF,the South Korea's coastal wetlands have gained increasing attention for their ecological value.This study analyzed the shorebird population dynamics across 35 coastal wetlands in South Korea from 2016 to 2024 using data from the National Marine Ecosystem Monitoring Program.For the timeseries analysis,we employed three indicators:seasonal chan ges in abundance,short-term fluctuations(Fi),and long-term trends,assessed using the TRends and Indices for Monitoring data(TRIM)model.Abundance,species richness,and Shannon diversity indices were assessed across the regions during spring and autumn.The TRIM results revealed significant population increases in both seasons("Strong increase"in spring and"Moderate increase"in autumn).Species-level trends indicated notable increases in large-bodied shorebirds,including globally threatened species such as the Far Eastern Curlew(Numenius madagascariensis).Eurasian Curlew(N.arquata),and Eurasian Oystercatcher(Haematopus ostralegus),whereas other species showed variable responses.The Yellow Sea region(Gyeonggi,Chungcheong,and Western Jeolla)showed high biodiversity indices in spring,which may be associated with time-minimization strategies,whereas autumn patterns were characterized by more flexible and selective stopover use,possibly related to energy-minimization strategies.The East Coast and Jeju regions showed the lowest biodiversity indices.Furthermore,community-level analyses using Non-metric Multidimensional Scaling(NMDS)and PERMANOVA revealed distinct clustering of bird assemblages by macro-region and season,confirming significant spatial differentiation in community composition.These findings contrast with the broader declining trends reported across the EAAF and suggest that South Korea's coastal wetlands may serve as stable alternative stopover habitats,potentially supporting the redistribution or recovery of some species.This study highlights the importance of transboundary cooperation and region-specific habitat management that reflects local ecological contexts for effective conservation.

文摘Droplet impact on solid surfaces plays a critical role in a wide range of applications,including inkjet printing,spray cooling,surface coatings,and microdroplet chemistry.Precise control of droplet–surface interactions is essential,but the fundamental mechanisms governing this process are still not fully understood.In this study,we demonstrate that large contact angle hysteresis(CAH)on hydrophobic nanoporous surfaces significantly amplifies post-impact droplet oscillations.This reveals the critical influence of CAH on the redistribution of impact energy and the modulation of droplet–surface interactions.Using shape mode decomposition via Legendre polynomials and fast Fourier transform spectral analysis,we show that surfaces with larger CAH excite and sustain higher-order droplet shape mode oscillations,leading to persistent capillary waves even after contact line pinning.The observed amplitude modulation and multiple frequency components within individual shape modes reveal nonlinear energy transfer between different modes.These amplified and coupled oscillations are shown to promote daughter droplet coalescence.This study presents a framework for understanding the role of CAH in storing and redistributing impact energy through nonlinear mode excitation and establishes CAH as a critical design parameter for controlling fluid dynamics on solid surfaces.

文摘Supercapacitors are indispensable for next-generation energy storage,achieving high energy density and long-term durability remains a formidable challenge.Conventional CoS suffers from poor conductivity,while Ti_(3)C_(2)faces severe restacking.Herein,we report a novel synthesis strategy that integrates metal-organic framework(MOF)growth with electrostatic self-assembly to construct heterojunction of CoS nanotubes coated with ultrathin Ti_(3)C_(2)nanofilms.Material characterization via SEM,TEM,XRD,and XPS systematically confirms the heterostructure formation,and chemical composition.This rational design synergistically leverages CoS high pseudocapacitance and Ti_(3)C_(2)metallic conductivity while the heterostructure mitigates restacking,enhances charge transfer,and stabilizes interfacial interactions.Density functional theory(DFT)calculations reveal strengthened OH-adsorption at the Co-Ti interface(E_(ad)=1.106 eV).Consequently,the CoS/Ti_(3)C_(2)@CC delivers a remarkable specific capacitance of 1034.21 F g^(-1) at 1 A g^(-1).Assembled into a supercapacitor,CoS/Ti_(3)C_(2)@CC//AC achieves a high energy density of 74.22 Wh kg^(-1) at 800 W kg^(-1),maintaining 89.13%initial capacitance after 10,000 cycles.Significantly,it exhibits a remarkably low leakage current(0.23μA)and ultra-prolonged voltage retention(47.14%after 120 h),underscoring exceptional durability.This work pioneers a rational heterostructure engineering strategy by integrating MOF-derived architectures with conductive MXene nanofilms,offering critical insights for the development of ultra-durable supercapacitors.

文摘This study aimed to investigate the moment redistribution in continuous glass fiber reinforced polymer(GFRP)-concrete composite slabs caused by concrete cracking and steel bar yielding in the negative bending moment zone.An experimental bending moment redistribution test was conducted on continuous GFRP-concrete composite slabs,and a calculation method based on the conjugate beam method was proposed.The composite slabs were formed by combining GFRP profiles with a concrete layer and supported on steel beams to create two-span continuous composite slab specimens.Two methods,epoxy resin bonding,and stud connection,were used to connect the composite slabs with the steel beams.The experimental findings showed that the specimen connected with epoxy resin exhibited two moments redistribution phenomena during the loading process:concrete cracking and steel bar yielding at the internal support.In contrast,the composite slab connected with steel beams by studs exhibited only one-moment redistribution phenomenon throughout the loading process.As the concrete at the internal support cracked,the bending moment decreased in the internal support section and increased in the midspan section.When the steel bars yielded,the bending moment further decreased in the internal support section and increased in the mid-span section.Since GFRP profiles do not experience cracking,there was no significant decrease in the bending moment of the mid-span section.All test specimens experienced compressive failure of concrete at the mid-span section.Calculation results showed good agreement between the calculated and experimental values of bending moments in the mid-span section and internal support section.The proposed model can effectively predict the moment redistribution behavior of continuous GFRP-concrete composite slabs.

文摘Hydroxyl radical(·OH)formation from Fe(Ⅱ)-bearing clay mineral oxygenation in the shallow subsurface has been well documented under moderate environmental conditions.However,the impact of freezing processes on the·OH production capability of Fe(Ⅱ)-bearing clay minerals for organic contaminant degradation,particularly in seasonally frozen soils,remains unclear.In this study,we investigated the influence of pre-freezing durations on the mineral proprieties,·OH production,and phenol degradation during the oxygenation of reduced Fe-rich nontronite(rNAu-2)and Fe-poor montmorillonite(rSWy-3).During the freezing process of reduced clay minerals(1 mM Fe(Ⅱ)),the content of edge surface Fe and Fe(Ⅱ)decreased by up to 46%and 58%,respectively,followed by a slight increased as clay mineral particles aggregated and subsequently partially disaggregated.As the edge surface Fe(Ⅱ)is effective in O_(2) activation but less effective in the transformation of H_(2)O_(2) to·OH,the redistribution of edge surface Fe(Ⅱ)leads to that·OH production and phenol degradation increased initially and then decreased with pre-freezing durations ranging from 0 to 20 days.Moreover,the rate constants of phenol degradation for both the rapid and slow reaction phases also first increase and then decrease with freezing time.However,pre-freezing significantly influenced the rapid phase of phenol degradation by rNAu-2 but affected the slow phase by rSWy-3 due to the much higher edge-surface Fe(Ⅱ)content in rNAu-2.Overall,these findings provide novel insights into the mechanism of·OH production and contaminant degradation during the freeze-thaw processes in clay-rich soils.

文摘Edge structures are ubiquitous in the processing and fabrication of various optoelectronic devices.Novel physical properties and enhanced light–matter interactions are anticipated to occur at crystal edges due to the broken spatial translational symmetry.However,the intensity of first-order Raman scattering at crystal edges has been rarely explored,although the mechanical stress and edge characteristics have been thoroughly studied by the Raman peak shift and the spectral features of the edge-related Raman modes.Here,by taking Ga As crystal with a well-defined edge as an example,we reveal the intensity enhancement of Raman-active modes and the emergence of Raman-forbidden modes under specific polarization configurations at the edge.This is attributed to the presence of a hot spot at the edge due to the redistributed electromagnetic fields and electromagnetic wave propagations of incident laser and Raman signal near the edge,which are confirmed by the finite-difference time-domain simulations.Spatially-resolved Raman intensities of both Raman-active and Raman-forbidden modes near the edge are calculated based on the redistributed electromagnetic fields,which quantitatively reproduce the corresponding experimental results.These findings offer new insights into the intensity enhancement of Raman scattering at crystal edges and present a new avenue to manipulate light–matter interactions of crystal by manufacturing various types of edges and to characterize the edge structures in photonic and optoelectronic devices.

文摘Compared with Zn^(2+),the current mainly reported charge carrier for zinc hybrid capacitors,small-hydrated-sized and light-weight NH_(4)^(+)is expected as a better one to mediate cathodic interfacial electrochemical behaviors,yet has not been unraveled.Here we propose an NH_(4)^(+)-modulated cationic solvation strategy to optimize cathodic spatial charge distribution and achieve dynamic Zn^(2+)/NH_(4)^(+)co-storage for boosting Zinc hybrid capacitors.Owing to the hierarchical cationic solvated structure in hybrid Zn(CF_(3)SO_(3))_(2)–NH_4CF_(3)SO_(3)electrolyte,high-reactive Zn^(2+)and small-hydrate-sized NH_4(H_(2)O))(4)^(+)induce cathodic interfacial Helmholtz plane reconfiguration,thus effectively enhancing the spatial charge density to activate 20%capacity enhancement.Furthermore,cathodic interfacial adsorbed hydrated NH_(4)^(+)ions afford high-kinetics and ultrastable C···H(NH_(4)^(+))charge storage process due to a much lower desolvation energy barrier compared with heavy and rigid Zn(H_(2)O)_6^(2+)(5.81 vs.14.90 eV).Consequently,physical uptake and multielectron redox of Zn^(2+)/NH_(4)^(+)in carbon cathode enable the zinc capacitor to deliver high capacity(240 mAh g^(-1)at 0.5 A g^(-1)),large-current tolerance(130 mAh g^(-1)at 50 A g^(-1))and ultralong lifespan(400,000cycles).This study gives new insights into the design of cathode–electrolyte interfaces toward advanced zinc-based energy storage.

文摘The quest for sustainable energy solutions has intensified the need for efficient water electrolysis techniques,pivotal for hydrogen production.However,developing effective bifunctional electrocatalysts capable of driving the hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)and oxygen evolution reaction(OER)remains a formidable challenge.Addressing this,we introduce a novel built-in electric field(BEF)strategy to synthesize NiCoP–Co nanoarrays directly on Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) MXene substrates(NiCoP–Co/MXene).This approach leverages a significant work function difference(ΔΦ),propelling these nanoarrays as adept bifunctional electrocatalysts for comprehensive water splitting.MXene,in this process,plays a dual role.It acts as a conductive support,enhancing the catalyst’s overall conductivity,and facilitates an effective charge transport pathway,ensuring efficient charge transfer.Our study reveals that the BEF induces an electric field at the interface,prompting charge transfer from Co to NiCoP.This transfer modulates asymmetric charge distributions,which intricately control intermediates’adsorption and desorption dynamics.Such regulation is crucial for enhancing the reaction kinetics of both HER and OER.Furthermore,under oxidative conditions,the NiCoP–Co/MXene catalyst undergoes a structural metamorphosis into Ni(Co)oxides/hydroxides/MXene,increasing OER performance.This research demonstrates the BEF’s role in fine-tuning interfacial charge redistribution and underscores its potential in crafting more sophisticated electrocatalytic designs.The insights gained here could pave the way for the next generation of electrocatalysis,with far-reaching implications for energy conversion and storage technologies.

文摘In sulfidic anoxic environments,iron sulfides are widespread solid phases that play an important role in the arsenic(As)biogeochemical cycle.This work investigated the transformation process of FeS-As coprecipitates,the concurrent behavior,and the speciation of associated As under anoxic conditions.The results showed that FeS-As coprecipitates could convert to greigite and pyrite.The transformation degree of the produced solid phases was dependent upon the pH conditions and initial As species.These results showed that the As mobilization was closely associated with the solid phase transformation.The solid phase transformationwent from disordered mackinawite to crystallinemackinawite,then greigite and finally pyrite.The As in the coprecipitates underwent a process of release,fixation,and release again.Both reduction of As(Ⅴ)and oxidation of As(Ⅲ)were observed in the aqueous and solid phases during reactions.Our study may have important implications for further understanding of As behavior and Fe/S cycling thatmay occur under an anoxic environment more comprehensively.

文摘Hydrogen embrittlement(HE)in 2 GPa-grade press-hardened steel(PHS)has posed a great risk to its lightweighting application in automotive crash-resistant components.While conventional slow strain rate tensile tests show that the precharged hydrogen concentration of 3.5 wppm induces a severe loss in strength and ductility,the high strain rate tests conducted at 1–103 s−1 that simulate the crash condition demonstrate no loss in strength and a minimal loss in ductility.Such strain rate dependency cannot be exclusively explained via hydrogen diffusion and redistribution to susceptible prior austenite grain boundaries,as the tensile testing of precharged samples with jumping strain rates offers a sufficient redistribution period at slow-strain-rate loading,but does not necessarily lead to a high level of HE afterwards.Detailed fractography analysis acknowledges that hydrogen-induced microcracks nucleated within early deformation stages are directly responsible for the high HE susceptibility of all test conditions.A phase-field simulation comprising 2 GPa-grade PHS's microstructure features and the hydrogen diffusion under tested loading conditions is applied.The calculation reveals that the hydrogen redistribution behavior is spatially confined to the crack tip areas but to a much greater extent.It thus facilitates continuous crack growth following the main crack with minimal plastic deformation and avoids branching to form secondary cracks.The combined experiments and modeling highlight the vital role of microcracks in the HE performance of 2 GPa-grade PHS,upon which the safety factor of HE in high-strength martensitic steels shall be established.

文摘With the upgrade of armor protection materials,higher requirements are put forward for the penetration performance of tungsten alloy kinetic energy armor-piercing projectiles,and the penetration performance is closely related to the adiabatic shear band under extreme stress conditions.Here,the detailed analysis of the adiabatic shear band microstructure evolution of a dual-phase 90W-Ni-Fe alloy under a high strain rate was conducted by combining advanced electron microscopic characterization,while discussing shear fracture from a mechanical perspective under thermoplastic instability.The high temperature and high stress environment inside the adiabatic shear band led to the refinement of the W phase andγ-(Ni,Fe)phase grains to the submicron level,and induced the elements redistribution of W,Ni,and Fe to precipitate W nanocrystalline with hardness as high as 11.7 GPa along the recrystallization grain boundaries of theγ-(Ni,Fe)phase.Mechanical incompatibility caused by the hardness difference between W nanocrystalline andγ-(Ni,Fe)phases led to a strain gradient at the interface.The microvoids preferentially nucleated at the W nanocrystalline/γ-(Ni,Fe)phase interface,then merged to form microcracks and grew further,leading to shear failure.
文摘Overpressure prediction for exploratory drilling has become robust in most basins with increasing well control,high-quality seismic datasets,and proactive real-time overpressure monitoring while drilling.However,accurate overpressure prediction remains challenging in offshore Northwest Borneo despite several decades of drilling experience.This paper focuses on two exploration wells drilled by Brunei Shell Petroleum 40 years apart that faced similar challenges with overpressure prediction and well control.An integrated lookback study is attempted using seismic and well-log data to explore the causes of the unsatisfactory Pore Pressure Prediction(PPP)outcome in pre-drill and real-time operation settings for thesewells.Our study indicates that the misprediction of overpressures is due to real differences in shale pressure(basis of pre-drill work and monitoring)and sand pressure(source of drill kick and well control chal-lenges)due to large-scale vertical leak or expulsion of deep-seated fluids into pre-compacted normally pressured overlying sediments in several regions through a mix of shear and tensile failure mechanisms.Such migrated fluids inflate the sand pressure in the normally compacted shallower sequences with the shale pressure remaining low.A predictive framework for upward fluid expulsion was attempted but found impracticable due to complex spatial and temporal variations in the horizontal stress field responsible for such leakage.As such,it is proposed that these migratory overpressures are essentially'unpredictable'from conventional PPP workflows viewed in the broad bucket of compaction disequi-librium(undercompaction)and fluid expansion(unloading)mechanisms.Further study is recommended to understand if such migrated overpressures in the sand can produce a discernible and predictable geophysical or petrophysical signature in the abutting normally compacted shales.The study highlights the possibility of large lateral variability in the sand overpressure within the same stratigraphic unit in regions with complex tectonostratigraphic evolution like Northwest Borneo.

文摘In order to investigate the segregation process and clarify its effect on the formation of TiN during the solidification of a micro-alloy steel containing titanium(Ti),a new mathematical model concerning solute transportation,solidification,as well as TiN precipitation was successfully established and verified.The transportation of solute elements was described using the Brody-Fleming microsegregation model,while the thermodynamic principles governing the precipitation of TiN were derived within the framework of the model.Additionally,the model accounts for variations in the diffusion coefficient due to phase transition and the influence of non-equilibrium solidification on solute distribution.High-temperature tests were conducted to validate the mathematical model.Results show that during solidification,due to selective crystallization,there is positive segregation of Ti and N in the solidifying front.What’s more,due to the high cooling rate near the surface of this steel,negative segregation is easier to be formed in the surface area.The highest concentration of TiN precipitation is found in the 1/4 width of this steel.High-temperature experiment shows that when the solidifying front reaches the 1/4 width of the specimen,the concentration product of Ti and N elements biased at the solidifying front reaches the thermodynamic conditions of TiN precipitation,and exists a higher concentration of TiN distributed in this region.To address this phenomenon,a comparative analysis of the effects of cooling rate and initial solute element content on TiN precipitation behavior was conducted.An increase in the surface cooling rate accelerates the progression of the solidification front and diminishes solute segregation near the front,thereby reducing TiN precipitation.However,with the increase of the initial solute element content,the concentration product of Ti and N elements rises,then the content of TiN precipitation increases.The results of this model provide important insight into the micro segregation and TiN precipitation mechanism of the micro-alloy steels bearing titanium.

文摘Type 2 diabetes mellitus,particularly when accompanied by obesity,has become a major global public health burden.Visceral adipose tissue accumulation contributes to insulin resistance,lipotoxicity,and chronic inflammation,thereby accelerating metabolic deterioration.Although pharmacological agents such as pioglitazone and metformin are effective in modulating fat distribution and improving metabolic parameters,their roles in adipose tissue remodeling remain insufficiently elucidated.Recent advances in regenerative medicine have highlighted the therapeutic potential of adipose-derived stem cells,owing to their differentiation capacity,anti-inflammatory secretory profile,and involvement in metabolic homeostasis.This review summarized current pharmacological and stem cell-based strategies targeting adipose tissue dysfunction in patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus with a particular focus on the mechanistic roles of adipokines,mitochondrial dysfunction,and extracellular matrix remodeling in visceral adipose tissue.It further discussed the potential synergistic benefits of adipose-derived stem cell-based combination interventions.Finally,the review envisioned future directions for integrating molecularly targeted drugs with cell therapies in the personalized management of metabolic disorders.

文摘The “well factory” mode's high-density well placement and multi-stage hydraulic fracturing technology enable efficient development of unconventional oil and gas resources.However,the deployment of platform wells in the “well factory” model results in small wellbore spacing,and the stress disturbances caused by fracturing operations may affect neighboring wells,leading to inter-well interference phenomena that cause casing deformation.This study investigates the issue of inter-well interference causing casing deformation or even failure during multi-stage hydraulic fracturing in the “well factory”model,and predicts high-risk locations for casing failure.A flow-mechanics coupled geomechanical finite element model with retaining geological stratification characteristics was established.Based on the theory of hydraulic fracturing-induced rock fragmentation and fluid action leading to the degradation of rock mechanical properties,the model simulated the four-dimensional evolution of multi-well fracturing areas over time and space,calculating the disturbance in the regional stress field caused by fracturing operations.Subsequently,the stress distribution of multiple well casings at different time points was calculated to predict high-risk locations for casing failure.The research results show that the redistribution of the stress field in the fracturing area increases the stress on the casing.The overlapping fracturing zones between wells cause significant stress interference,greatly increasing the risk of deformation and failure.By analyzing the Mises stress distribution of multi-well casings,high-risk locations for casing failure can be identified.The conclusion is that the key to preventing casing failure in platform wells in the “well factory” model is to optimize the spatial distribution of fracturing zones between wells and reasonably arrange well spacing.The study provides new insights and methods for predicting casing failure in unconventional oil and gas reservoirs and offers references for optimizing drilling and fracturing designs.

文摘The load profile is a key characteristic of the power grid and lies at the basis for the power flow control and generation scheduling.However,due to the wide adoption of internet-of-things(IoT)-based metering infrastructure,the cyber vulnerability of load meters has attracted the adversary’s great attention.In this paper,we investigate the vulnerability of manipulating the nodal prices by injecting false load data into the meter measurements.By taking advantage of the changing properties of real-world load profile,we propose a deeply hidden load data attack(i.e.,DH-LDA)that can evade bad data detection,clustering-based detection,and price anomaly detection.The main contributions of this work are as follows:(i)We design a stealthy attack framework that exploits historical load patterns to generate load data with minimal statistical deviation from normalmeasurements,thereby maximizing concealment;(ii)We identify the optimal time window for data injection to ensure that the altered nodal prices follow natural fluctuations,enhancing the undetectability of the attack in real-time market operations;(iii)We develop a resilience evaluation metric and formulate an optimization-based approach to quantify the electricity market’s robustness against DH-LDAs.Our experiments show that the adversary can gain profits from the electricity market while remaining undetected.
