文摘The poor reversibility and stability of Zn anodes greatly restrict the practical application of aqueous Zn-ion batteries(AZIBs),resulting from the uncontrollable dendrite growth and H_(2)O-induced side reactions during cycling.Electrolyte additive modification is considered one of the most effective and simplest methods for solving the aforementioned problems.Herein,the pyridine derivatives(PD)including 2,4-dihydroxypyridine(2,4-DHP),2,3-dihydroxypyridine(2,3-DHP),and 2-hydroxypyrdine(2-DHP),were em-ployed as novel electrolyte additives in ZnSO_(4)electrolyte.Both density functional theory calculation and experimental findings demonstrated that the incorporation of PD additives into the electrolyte effectively modulates the solvation structure of hydrated Zn ions,thereby suppressing side reactions in AZIBs.Ad-ditionally,the adsorption of PD molecules on the zinc anode surface contributed to uniform Zn deposi-tion and dendrite growth inhibition.Consequently,a 2,4-DHP-modified Zn/Zn symmetrical cell achieved an extremely long cyclic stability up to 5650 h at 1 mA cm^(-2).Furthermore,the Zn/NH_(4)V_(4)O_(10)full cell with 2,4-DHP-containing electrolyte exhibited an outstanding initial capacity of 204 mAh g^(-1),with a no-table capacity retention of 79%after 1000 cycles at 5 A g^(-1).Hence,this study expands the selection of electrolyte additives for AZIBs,and the working mechanism of PD additives provides new insights for electrolyte modification enabling highly reversible zinc anode.
文摘Fluctuating voltage levels in power grids necessitate automatic voltage regulators(AVRs)to ensure stability.This study examined the modeling and control of AVR in hydroelectric power plants using model predictive control(MPC),which utilizes an extensive mathe-matical model of the voltage regulation system to optimize the control actions over a defined prediction horizon.This predictive feature enables MPC to minimize voltage deviations while accounting for operational constraints,thereby improving stability and performance under dynamic conditions.Thefindings were compared with those derived from an optimal proportional integral derivative(PID)con-troller designed using the artificial bee colony(ABC)algorithm.Although the ABC-PID method adjusts the PID parameters based on historical data,it may be difficult to adapt to real-time changes in system dynamics under constraints.Comprehensive simulations assessed both frameworks,emphasizing performance metrics such as disturbance rejection,response to load changes,and resilience to uncertainties.The results show that both MPC and ABC-PID methods effectively achieved accurate voltage regulation;however,MPC excelled in controlling overshoot and settling time—recording 0.0%and 0.25 s,respectively.This demonstrates greater robustness compared to conventional control methods that optimize PID parameters based on performance criteria derived from actual system behavior,which exhibited settling times and overshoots exceeding 0.41 s and 5.0%,respectively.The controllers were implemented using MATLAB/Simulink software,indicating a significant advancement for power plant engineers pursuing state-of-the-art automatic voltage regulations.

文摘The high proportion of uncertain distributed power sources and the access to large-scale random electric vehicle(EV)charging resources further aggravate the voltage fluctuation of the distribution network,and the existing research has not deeply explored the EV active-reactive synergistic regulating characteristics,and failed to realize themulti-timescale synergistic control with other regulatingmeans,For this reason,this paper proposes amultilevel linkage coordinated optimization strategy to reduce the voltage deviation of the distribution network.Firstly,a capacitor bank reactive power compensation voltage control model and a distributed photovoltaic(PV)activereactive power regulationmodel are established.Additionally,an external characteristicmodel of EVactive-reactive power regulation is developed considering the four-quadrant operational characteristics of the EVcharger.Amultiobjective optimization model of the distribution network is then constructed considering the time-series coupling constraints of multiple types of voltage regulators.A multi-timescale control strategy is proposed by considering the impact of voltage regulators on active-reactive EV energy consumption and PV energy consumption.Then,a four-stage voltage control optimization strategy is proposed for various types of voltage regulators with multiple time scales.Themulti-objective optimization is solved with the improvedDrosophila algorithmto realize the power fluctuation control of the distribution network and themulti-stage voltage control optimization.Simulation results validate that the proposed voltage control optimization strategy achieves the coordinated control of decentralized voltage control resources in the distribution network.It effectively reduces the voltage deviation of the distribution network while ensuring the energy demand of EV users and enhancing the stability and economic efficiency of the distribution network.

文摘Dual-ion batteries(DIBs)usually use carbon-based materials as electrodes,showing advantages in high operating volt-age,potential low cost,and environmental friendliness.Different from conventional“rocking chair”type secondary batter-ies,DIBs perform a unique working mechanism,which employ both cation and anion taking part in capacity contribution at an anode and a cathode,respectively,during electrochemical reactions.Graphite has been identified as a suitable cathode material for anion intercalation at high voltages(>4.8 V)with fast reaction kinetics.However,the development of DIBs is being hindered by dynamic mismatch between a cathode and an anode due to sluggish Li+diffusion at a high rate.Herein,we prepared phyllostachys edulis derived carbon(PEC)through microstructure regulation strategy and investigated the carbonized temperature effect,which effectively tailored the rich short-range ordered graphite microdomains and disor-dered amorphous regions,as well as a unique nano-pore hierarchical structure.The pore size distribution of nano-pores was concentrated in 0.5-5 nm,providing suitable channels for rapid Li+transportation.It was found that PEC-500(carbon-ized at 500℃)achieved a high capacity of 436 mAh·g^(-1)at 300 mA·g^(-1)and excellent rate performance(maintaining a high capacity of 231 mAh·g^(-1)at 3 A·g^(-1)).The assembled dual-carbon PEC-500||graphite full battery delivered 114 mAh·g^(-1)at 10 C with 96%capacity retention after 3000 cycles and outstanding rate capability,providing 74 mAh·g^(-1)at 50 C.
文摘Cells are exposed to various mechanical forces,including extracellular and intracellular forces such as stiffness,tension,compression,viscosity,and shear stress,which regulate cell biology.The process of transducing mechanical stimuli into biochemical signals is termed mechanotransduction.These mechanical forces can regulate protein and gene expression,thereby impacting cell morphology,adhesion,proliferation,apoptosis,and migration.During cancer development,significant changes in extracellular and intracellular mechanical properties occur,resulting in altered mechanical inputs to which cells are exposed.MicroRNAs(miRNAs),key post-transcriptional regulators of gene and protein expression,are increasingly recognized as mechanosensitive molecules involved in cancer development.In this review,we summarize the primary cellular pathways involved in force sensing and mechanotransduction,emphasizing the role of forces in miRNA biogenesis and expression,as well as their influence on the regulation of key mechanotransducers.Furthermore,we focus on recent evidence regarding the induction or repression of miRNAs involved in cancer development by mechanical forces and their impact on the regulation of proteins that contribute to cancer progression.

文摘Amid ongoing global environmental change and the critical pursuit of sustainable development,human-environment systems are exhibiting increasingly complex dynamic evolutions and spatial relationships,underscoring an urgent need for innovative research frameworks.Integrated geography synthesizes physical geography,human geography,and geographic information science,providing key frameworks for understanding complex human-environment systems.This editorial proposes an emerging research framework for integrated geography—“Composite driving-System evolution-Coupling mechanism-Synergistic regulation(CSCS)”—based on key issues such as climate change,biodiversity loss,resource scarcity,and social-ecological interactions,which have been highlighted in both recent critical literature on human-environment systems and UN assessment reports.The framework starts with diverse composite driving forces,extends to the evolution of human-environment system structures,processes,and functions that these drivers induce,explores couplings within human-environment systems,and calls for regulation aimed at sustainable development in synergies.Major research frontiers include understanding the cascading“evolution-coupling”effects of shocks;measuring system resilience,thresholds,and safe and just operating space boundaries;clarifying linkage mechanisms across scales;and achieving synergistic outcomes for multi-objective sustainability.This framework will help promote the interdisciplinary integration and development of integrated geography,and provide geographical solutions for the global sustainable development agenda.

文摘Terpenoids are vital secondary metabolites in plants that function as agents for defense and stress resistance.These genes not only play crucial roles in plant growth and development but also function in diverse biological group interactions.Terpenoids released by fruit trees possess defensive properties and constitute a class of aromatic compounds.For some fruits,terpenoids are indispensable indicators for evaluating fruit quality and the economic value.Significant research progress has been made in terpenoids biosynthesis and regulation.In this review,we introduce the main terpenoids of fruit trees,emphasize synthetic enzymes and regulatory factors involved in the mevalonate pathway and the methylerythritol pathway,and analyze TPS gene family identification and diversity in several fruit tree species.Moreover,the regulation of terpenes biosynthesis,including the molecular interaction mechanisms of environmental factors and hormone signaling pathways,are comprehensively described.Our objective is to summarize the molecular regulatory network and research foundation of terpenoids biosynthesis,providing a reference for investigations of metabolic pathways and promoting the development of techniques for the regulation and breeding of terpenoids in fruit trees.

文摘Fruit ripening,which is modulated by the up-and downregulation of numerous genes,is a sophisticated physiological event determining consumer acceptability.While many positive regulators have been known to regulate fruit ripening,relatively less information is associated with the negative regulators in the process.Here,a negative regulator,MaMADS31,was characterized according to the banana fruit ripening transcriptome,which displayed nuclear localization and inhibitory transactivation activity.MaMADS31 suppresses the transcription of the cell wall modification gene MaPL15 and the ethylene biosynthesis-related gene MaACO13 by directly recognizing the CArG-box element in their promoters.Transient expression of MaMADS31 in banana fruit brought about downregulation of MaPL15 and MaACO13,thereby delaying fruit ripening.Importantly,MaMADS31 interacts with MaBZR2 to synergistically strengthen the transcriptional inhibition of MaPL15 and MaACO13.Overall,MaMADS31-MaBZR2 plays a negative role in fruit ripening by downregulating the MaPL15 and MaACO13 transcription,which provides new insights for innovating approaches for prolonging the postharvest life of horticultural plants.

文摘Facial expression datasets commonly exhibit imbalances between various categories or between difficult and simple samples.This imbalance introduces bias into feature extraction within facial expression recognition(FER)models,which hinders the algorithm’s comprehension of emotional states and reduces the overall recognition accuracy.A novel FER model is introduced to address these issues.It integrates rebalancing mechanisms to regulate attention consistency and focus,offering enhanced efficacy.Our approach proposes the following improvements:(i)rebalancing weights are used to enhance the consistency between the heatmaps of an original face sample and its horizontally flipped counterpart;(ii)coefficient factors are incorporated into the standard cross entropy loss function,and rebalancing weights are incorporated to fine-tune the loss adjustment.Experimental results indicate that the FER model outperforms the current leading algorithm,MEK,achieving 0.69%and 2.01%increases in overall and average recognition accuracies,respectively,on the RAF-DB dataset.The model exhibits accuracy improvements of 0.49%and 1.01%in the AffectNet dataset and 0.83%and 1.23%in the FERPlus dataset,respectively.These outcomes validate the superiority and stability of the proposed FER model.

文摘Employing multiple metals for synergistic electronic structure regulation emerges as a promising approach to develop highly efficient and robust electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution at ampere levels.In this study,a series of Schreibersite-type intermetallic compounds,particularly Mo_(2)Fe_(0.8)Ru_(0.2)P,are synthesized through high-temperature solid-phase synthesis.Experimental results demonstrate that the integration of Ru significantly improves the kinetics of proton adsorption and desorption during the hydrogen evolution reaction(HER).Additionally,density functional theory(DFT)calculations and X-ray absorption near edge structure(XANES)analyses effectively corroborate the pronounced d-orbital hybridization of Fe within the structure,which facilitates the transfer of hydroxide ions and the maintenance of material durability during alkaline HER processes.Remarkably,Mo_(2)Fe_(0.8)Ru_(0.2)P exhibits superior alkaline HER activity,characterized by an overpotential of merely 48 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm^(-2).After prolonged operation of 1000 h at high current densities(1.1 A cm^(-2)),the activity decline remains minimal,under 4%(with overpotential increasing from 258 mV to 268 mV).These results demonstrate the potential of strategically combining metallic elements to design high-performance industrial-grade electrocatalysts.

文摘α-phase formamidinium lead triiodide(FAPbI_(3))has demonstrated extraordinary properties for near-infrared perovskite lightemitting diodes(NIR-PeLEDs).The vacuum processing technique has recently received increasing attention from industry and academia due to its solvent-free feature and compatibility with large-scale production.Nevertheless,vacuum-deposited NIR-PeLEDs have been less studied,and their efficiencies lag far behind those of solution-based PeLEDs as it is still challenging to prepare pureα-FAPbI_(3)by the thermal evaporation.Herein,we report a Cs-containing triple-source co-evaporation approach to develop the perovskite films.The addition of thermally stable Cs cation fills in the perovskite crystal lattice and eliminates the formation of metallic Pb caused by the degradation of FA cation during the evaporation process.The tri-source co-evaporation strategy significantly promotes the phase transition from yellowδ-phase FAPbI_(3)to blackα-phase FACsPbI_(3),fostering smooth,uniform,and pinhole-free perovskite films with higher crystallinity and fewer defects.On this basis,the resulting NIR-PeLED based on FACsPbI_(3)yields a maximum EQE of 10.25%,which is around sixfold higher than that of FAPbI_(3)-based PeLEDs.Our work demonstrates a reliable and effective strategy to achieveα-FAPbI_(3)via thermal evaporation and paves the pathway toward highly efficient perovskite optoelectronic devices for future commercialization.
