Never theless, the chemical prelithiation agent is difficult to dope active Li^(+) in silicon-based anodes because of their low working voltage and sluggish Li^(+) diffusion rate. By selecting the lithium–arene complex reagent with 4-methylbiphenyl as an anion ligand and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran as a solvent, the as-prepared micro-sized Si O/C anode can achieve an ICE of nearly 100%. Interestingly, the best prelithium efficiency does not correspond to the lowest redox half-potential(E_(1/2)), and the prelithiation efficiency is determined by the specific influencing factors(E_(1/2), Li^(+) concentration, desolvation energy, and ion diffusion path). In addition, molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate that the ideal prelithiation efficiency can be achieved by choosing appropriate anion ligand and solvent to regulate the solvation structure of Li^(+). Furthermore, the positive effect of prelithiation on cycle performance has been verified by using an in-situ electrochemical dilatometry and solid electrolyte interphase film characterizations.展开更多

One reflection-type silicon-based spatial light modulator with high reflective materials outside the Fabry-Perot cavity is demonstrated in this paper. The reflectivity values of the outside-cavity materials with different film layer numbers are simulated. The reflectivity values of 6-pair Ta2O5/SiO2 films at 1550 nm are experimentally verified to be as high as 99.9%. The surfaces of 6-pair Ta2O5/SiO2 films are smooth: their root-mean-square roughness values are as small as 0.53 nm. The insertion loss of the device at 1550 nm is only 1.2 dB. The high extinction ratio of the device at 1550 nm and 11 V is achieved to be 29.7 dB. The spatial light modulator has a high extinction ratio and low insertion loss for applications.展开更多

文摘In view of the existing design challenges for Terahertz(THz)power amplifiers(PAs),the common design methods and the efforts of the State Key Laboratory of Millimeter Wave,Southeast University,China in the development of silicon-based THz PAs,mainly including silicon-based PAs with operating frequencies covering 100–300 GHz,are summarized in this paper.Particularly,we design an LC-balun-based two-stage differential cascode PA with a center frequency of 150 GHz and an output power of 14 dBm.Based on a Marchand balun,we report a 220 GHz three-stage differential cascode PA with a saturated output power of 9.5 dBm.To further increase the output power of THz PA,based on a four-way differential power combining technique,we report a 211–263 GHz dual-LC-tank-based broadband PA with a recorded 14.7 dBm Psat and 16.4 dB peak gain.All the above circuits are designed in a standard 130 nm silicon germanium(SiGe)BiCMOS process.
文摘This paper presents a brief overview of several promising design technologies for high efficiency silicon-based radio frequency （RF） power amplifiers （PAs） as well as the use of these technologies in mobile broadband wireless communications. Four important aspects of PA design are addressed in this paper. First, we look at class-E PA design equations and provide an example of a class-E PA that achieves efficiency of 65-70% at 2.4 GHz. Then, we discuss state-of-the-art envelope tracking （ET） design for monolithic wideband RF mobile transmitter applications. A brief overview of Doherty PA design for the next-generation wireless handset applications is then given. Towards the end of the paper, we discuss an inherently broadband and highly efficient class-J PA design targeting future multi-band multi-standard wireless communication protocols.

文摘The extinction ratio and insertion loss of spatial light modulator are subject to the material problem, thus limiting its applications. One reflection-type silicon-based spatial light modulator with high reflective materials outside the Fabry-Perot cavity is demonstrated in this paper. The reflectivity values of the outside-cavity materials with different film layer numbers are simulated. The reflectivity values of 6-pair Ta2O5/SiO2 films at 1550 nm are experimentally verified to be as high as 99.9%. The surfaces of 6-pair Ta2O5/SiO2 films are smooth: their root-mean-square roughness values are as small as 0.53 nm. The insertion loss of the device at 1550 nm is only 1.2 dB. The high extinction ratio of the device at 1550 nm and 11 V is achieved to be 29.7 dB. The spatial light modulator has a high extinction ratio and low insertion loss for applications.

文摘A near-infrared germanium(Ge)Schottky photodetector(PD)with an ultrathin silicon(Si)barrier enhancement layer between the indium-doped tin oxide(ITO)electrode and Ge epilayer on Si or silicon-on-insulator(SOI)is proposed and fabricated.The well-behaved ITO/Si cap/Ge Schottky junctions without intentional doping process for the Ge epilayer are formed on the Si and SOI substrates.The Si-and SOI-based ITO/Si cap/Ge Schottky PDs exhibit low dark current densities of 33 mA/cm2 and 44 mA/cm2,respectively.Benefited from the high transmissivity of ITO electrode and the reflectivity of SOI substrate,an optical responsivity of 0.19 A/W at 1550 nm wavelength is obtained for the SOI-based ITO/Si cap/Ge Schottky PD.These complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor(CMOS)compatible Si(or SOI)-based ITO/Si cap/Ge Schottky PDs are quite useful for detecting near-infrared wavelengths with high efficiency.

文摘Mitigating vortex-induced vibrations(VIV)in flexible risers represents a critical concern in offshore oil and gas production,considering its potential impact on operational safety and efficiency.The accurate prediction of displacement and position of VIV in flexible risers remains challenging under actual marine conditions.This study presents a data-driven model for riser displacement prediction that corresponds to field conditions.Experimental data analysis reveals that the XGBoost algorithm predicts the maximum displacement and position with superior accuracy compared with Support vector regression(SVR),considering both computational efficiency and precision.Platform displacement in the Y-direction demonstrates a significant positive correlation with both axial depth and maximum displacement magnitude.The fourth point displacement exhibits the highest contribution to model prediction outcomes,showing a positive influence on maximum displacement while negatively affecting the axial depth of maximum displacement.Platform displacement in the X-and Y-directions exhibits competitive effects on both the riser’s maximum displacement and its axial depth.Through the implementation of XGBoost algorithm and SHapley Additive exPlanation(SHAP)analysis,the model effectively estimates the riser’s maximum displacement and its precise location.This data-driven approach achieves predictions using minimal,readily available data points,enhancing its practical field applications and demonstrating clear relevance to academic and professional communities.

文摘Mooring cable tension is a crucial parameter for evaluating the safety and reliability of a floating platform mooring system.The real-time mooring tension in an actual marine environment has always been essential data that mooring system designers aim to acquire.To address the need for long-term continuous monitoring of mooring tension in deep-sea marine environments,this paper presents a mooring cable tension monitoring method based on the principle of direct mechanical measurement.The developed tension monitoring sensors were installed and applied in the mooring system of the"Yongle"scientific experimental platform.Over the course of one year,a substantial amount of in-situ tension monitoring data was obtained.Under wave heights of up to 1.24 m,the mooring tension on the floating platform reached 16.5 tons.Through frequency domain and time domain analysis,the spectral characteristics of mooring tension,including waveinduced force,slow drift force,and mooring cable elastic restoring force,were determined.The mooring cable elastic restoring force frequency was approximately half of that of the wave signal.Due to the characteristics of the hinge connection structure of the dual module floating platform,under some specific working conditions the wave-induced force was the maximum of the three different frequency forces,and restoring force was the smallest.

文摘In the last decade,shell biorefinery,a novel concept referring to the extraction of the main components of crustacean shells and the transformation of each component into valuable products,was proposed and has attracted increasing attentions.Chitin is one of main components of crustacean shells.Owing to the bio-fixed nitrogen element,chitin biomass has been regarded as a good candidate to produce nitrogen-containing chemicals.Among these,3-acetamido-5-acetylfuran(3A5AF)is an interesting furanic compound derived from the hydrolysis and sequential dehydration of chitin.Similar to cellulose-derived platform chemical 5-hydromethylfurfural(HMF),3A5AF is an emerging platform compound and also can be converted into various useful chemicals by oxidation,reduction,hydrolysis,substitution,and so on.This review showcases the recent advances in the synthesis of 3A5AF from chitin and N-acetyl glucosamine(NAG)employing various catalytic systems.The conversion of 3A5AF into valuable compounds was introduced then.There are still some challenges in this area,for example,the rational design of green and efficient catalytic systems for the synthesis of 3A5AF and its derivatives.The outlooks also were discussed at the end of the review.
