文摘The Wadsley-Roth phase TiNb_(2)O_(7)(TNO)has been identified as a promising anode material with potential for high safety and fast-charging lithium-ion batteries(LIBs),arising from its competitive theoretical specific capacity and secure operational potential.Despite the significant advancements in specific capacity,fast charging,and longevity at the coin cell level,a comprehensive understanding and realization of the fast-charging capability and corresponding cycling stability of the TNO under practical application conditions(such as a pouch cell with an anode capacity exceeding 2 mAh cm^(-2))continues to be elusive.In this study,we explore a simple,scalable solid-phase carbon source melt strategy to fabricate the kilogram-level micrometer-scale single-crystal TNO particles enveloped by an ultrathin carbon coating layer of<5 nm(TNO@C).The in-situ X-ray diffraction(XRD)measurement of the LiCoO_(2)‖TNO@C laminated pouch cell(anode mass loading of~10 mg cm^(-2))under fast charging/discharging conditions with the combination of material characterizations and electrochemical analysis reveals a fast,yet stable crystal structure evolution for the micrometer-scale single-crystal TNO@C with only 7.03%fluctuation in unit cell volume value,which is indicative of fast reaction kinetics.The Ah-level laminated LiCoO_(2)‖TNO@C pouch cell achieved 80.8%charge within 6 min(10 C)and retained 85.3%capacity after 1000 cycles at the charging current density of 6 C(10 min),far surpassing all the results in previous publications.The straightforward synthetic approach for the micrometer-scale single-crystal TNO@C,coupled with a clear understanding of reaction kinetics and rapid crystal structure evolution,paves the way for the practical application of the micrometer-scale single-crystal TNO@C anode material for fast charging LIBs.

文摘The estimation of quantum phase differences plays an important role in quantum simulation and quantum computation,yet existing quantum phase estimation algorithms face critical limitations in noisy intermediate-scale quantum(NISQ)devices due to their excessive depth and circuit complexity.We demonstrate a high-precision phase difference estimation protocol based on the Bayesian phase difference estimation algorithm and single-photon projective measurement.The iterative framework of the algorithm,combined with the independence from controlled unitary operations,inherently mitigates circuit depth and complexity limitations.Through an experimental realization on the photonic system,we demonstrate high-precision estimation of diverse phase differences,showing root-mean-square errors(RMSE)below the standard quantum limit𝒪(1/√N)and reaching the Heisenberg scaling𝒪(1/N)after a certain number of iterations.Our scheme provides a critical advantage in quantum resource-constrained scenarios,and advances practical implementations of quantum information tasks under realistic hardware constraints.

文摘As electronic technology continues to evolve towards miniaturization and integration,the demand for micro-refrigeration technology in microelectronic systems is increasing.Ferroelectric(FE)refrigeration technology based on the electrocaloric effect(ECE)has emerged as a highly promising candidate in this field,due to its advantages of high energy efficiency,simple structure,easy miniaturization,low cost,and environmental friendliness.The EC performance of FE materials essentially depends on the phase transition features under the coupled electric and thermal fields,making the E–T phase diagram a core tool for decoding the underlying mechanism of ECE.This paper reviews the development of EC materials,focusing on the comprehensive study of E–T phase diagrams.By correlating the microscopic phase structure of FE materials with the macroscopic physical properties,it clarifies the manipulation mechanism for enhanced ECE performance,providing theoretical support for the targeted design of high-performance EC materials.In the future,the introduction of data-driven methods is expected to enable the high-throughput construction of FE phase diagrams,thereby accelerating the optimization of high-performance EC materials and promoting the practical application of FE refrigeration technology.

文摘In the context of the global energy low-carbon transition,phase change energy storage technology becomes a key technology to solve the problem of intermittent renewable energy.Oriented phase change composites(OCPCMs)receive widespread attention in practical energy storage applications due to their unique oriented thermally conductive structure,which achieves significant thermal conductivity enhancement in specific directions while retaining the high energy storage capacity of the phase change components.This review systematically summarizes the overall analysis of OCPCMs from synthesis and preparation to application scenarios in recent years.Herein,we introduce the analysis of the heat transfer mechanism of the materials and explore the advantages of the oriented structure in OCPCMs in the heat transfer behavior from a bionic perspective.We then focus on summarizing and generalizing the methods for preparing OCPCMs,giving suggestions for suitable methods according to different scenarios.Besides,we discuss the application of finite element simulation methods to the monitoring of the thermal management behavior of OCPCMs,and look into the potential future application areas of such materials.Finally,it is hoped that this review will provide guidance for the academic community in developing high-performance OCPCMs.

文摘In this study,by adjusting the homogenization process,numerous lamellar-shapedγ’phases are generated and uniformly distributed throughout the grain interior within as-extruded Mg-9Gd-4Y-1Zn-0.5Zr(wt.%)alloy,leading to a remarkable increase enhancement in both tensile strength and fracture toughness.Notably,as compared to the alloy containing block-shaped long-period stacking-ordered(LPSO)phase,when the lamellar-shapedγ’phase is introduced within theα-Mg matrix,the fracture toughness of 29.7 MPa·m^(1/2)can be achieved with a 27%improvement.This superior fracture resistance is mainly attributed to the delamination toughening derived from the intensive micro-cracks occurring alongγ’phase interfaces oriented perpendicular to the primary fracture surface.Owing to the presence of lamellarshapedγ’phase,the fracture morphology can be significantly changed and characterized with deep dimples and pronounced deflection of main crack,which collectively contribute to the enhanced plastic energy dissipation and fracture toughness.The characteristics of deformed microstructure near the fracture surface demonstrate the activation of kinking and the inhibition of twin propagation due to the interactions with lamellarγ’phase.Such deformation behavior can effectively impede the crack propagation and contribute to the superior fracture resistance.Besides,the X-ray computed tomography analysis of the fractured alloy exhibits the distribution and size of voids,indicating that the prolate voids preferentially nucleate and propagate parallel to the lamellarγ’phase.Accordingly,the deformation mechanisms under a triaxial stress state involve the intricate interplay between lamellarγ’phase-induced delamination,crack deflection as well as void formation.Through the application of tailored pre-treatment heat treatment processes,the control of phase constituents within the microstructure can be achieved to improve the mechanical properties of Mg alloys.It is anticipated to provide a comprehensive understanding of the fracture behavior of Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Zr,with particular emphasis on the synergistic effects of lamellarγ’phase and LPSO phase in the optimization of overall mechanical performance.

文摘Optical phase-gradient metasurfaces have garnered significant attention for enabling flexible light manipulation,with applications across diverse domains.In this work,we will demonstrate that the metasurfaces with phase gradient modulation can be used to achieve illusion optics,featuring the advantages of simple geometric structure and feasible implementation compared with the well-known transformation optics method.The underlying mechanism is the anomalous diffraction law caused by the phase gradient,which provides a theoretical basis for freely manipulating the propagation path of light.By considering a specific example,we will demonstrate that the phase gradient can transform spatial coordinates in real space into illusion space,thereby converting a plane in real space into a curved surface structure in illusion space to achieve the illusion effect.This approach provides a viable alternative to transformation optics for designing illusion devices.

文摘The direct reduction process can reduce carbon emissions by over 50%compared to traditional blast furnace ironmaking.Carbon deposition and carburization are critical for ensuring process stability and economic viability.Thermodynamic phase diagrams were developed to intuitively represent carbon deposition and carburization preferences in CH4-CO-H_(2) ternary atmospheres.High carbon potential and low oxygen potential significantly enhance carbon deposition and carburization.Increasing temperature from 500 to 1000℃ shifts the dominant reactions from CO-based to CH_(4)-based,increasing maximum carbon deposition from 0.55 to 0.80 mol and carburization from 0.25 to 0.80 mol per mole of reducing gas.Increasing pressure suppresses CH4-based reactions while promoting CO-based reactions,reducing maximum carbon deposition from 0.8 to~0.7 mol and increasing maximum carburization from 0.80 to 0.85 mol per mole of reducing gas.Equilibrium phase diagrams for various carbides were also developed,revealing preferences for Fe_(3)C_(2),Fe_(7)C_(3),Fe_(5)C_(2),and Fe_(3)C as the Fe/C ratio increases.Higher temperatures and CH_(4) concentrations favor the formation of carbides with higher carbon content.Carburization preferences under typical Energiron ZR and Midrex atmospheres were highlighted,and the higher carbon content in direct reduction iron produced by the Energiron ZR process was thermodynamically confirmed.

文摘Heterogeneous nucleation,characterized by its low nucleation barrier and controllable nucleation sites,has been widely employed to manipulate the microstructures and properties of metallic materials.In recent years,the dispersion of inclusions,carbides,and microstructure refinement in steel have emerged as one of the key research directions in the development of high-quality steel.The current research status regarding the regulation of inclusions,carbides,and microstructures in steel through heterogeneous nucleation are reviewed.The key points and challenges in refining the second phase and microstructure in steel using inclusion particles are highlighted,aiming to provide inspiration and references for future scholars.Deoxidized inclusions,when refined and dispersed,exhibit favorable lattice matching with second phases(e.g.,nitrides,sulfides,carbides)in steel.This characteristic serves as the fundamental mechanism for achieving refinement of the second phase.Concurrently,the solid-solution alloying effect from deoxidizing metals contributes to second-phase refinement,an aspect that requires prioritized investigation.In addition to the single heterogeneous nucleation refinement effect,the two-stage heterogeneous nucleation refinement of the second phase and microstructure offers a new approach for follow-up research.Notably,second-phase particles added as heterogeneous nucleation sites via external addition often require surface modification to ensure their stable retention in steel at high temperatures,which remains a major challenge restricting the widespread application of this method.Currently,the explanation of heterogeneous nucleation phenomena primarily relies on empirical calculations of lattice mismatch between the substrate and the nucleating phase,which cannot fully elucidate the quantitative relationship on the interface between the substrate and the nucleation phase.On this basis,quantifying the electronic structure and nucleation barrier at the interface between the substrate and the nucleation phase is a critical direction worthy of increased attention in the future.

文摘Small Baseline Subset Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar(SBAS-In SAR)is widely used for deformation monitoring in mining regions.However,phase unwrapping errors often limit its effectiveness in areas with large-gradient displacements.We propose a novel approach integrating spatiotemporal modeling to address this limitation and improve phase unwrapping.The Simplified Rectangular Dislocation Model(SRDM)simplifies the phase recovery process by reducing model parameters and improving efficiency in large-gradient deformation zones.Subsequently,the Power Exponential Knothe Model(PEKM)is applied to invert the deformation time series and restore the deformation phase from the time dimension.We validated this method using Sentinel-1 and Radarsat-2 data in the Majialiang Coalfield,China.The results demonstrate that the approach achieved 5%(Sentinel-1)and 14%(Radarsat-2)phase range extensions,elevating maximum detectable phase values from 120/100 rad to 160 rad for respective datasets,while the proportions of pixel points with restored phase exceeding 8 rad(-0.035 m)were 17.4%and 32.1%.The proposed method outperformed conventional techniques in resolving phase discontinuities,demonstrating strong adaptability.This approach significantly enhances subsidence monitoring accuracy and supports sustainable mining operations in coal-dependent regions.

文摘The volume change behavior of natural gas hydrate-bearing sediment is essential as it influences settlement,strength,and stiffness,which directly affect the stability of hydrate reservoirs during hydrate extraction or in response to environmental changes.The volume change is influenced not only by stress but also by the formation and dissociation of hydrates.This study adopted a customized apparatus for one-dimensional compression tests,allowing independent control of gas pressure and effective stress.Tests were conducted on samples with different hydrate saturations along various temperature-gas pressure-effective stress paths,yielding some conclusions related to compressibility and creep.An unusual phenomenon was observed under low-stress conditions:hydrate formation led to shrinkage rather than expansion.Three potential mechanisms behind this occurrence were discussed.As hydrate saturation increases,the yield stress rises while the compression and swelling indexes remain minimally affected.After hydrate dissociation,the compression curve of hydrate-bearing sediment drops to that of hydrate-free sediment.Once hydrate is formed,the compression curve of hydrate-free sediment gradually approaches that of hydrate-bearing sediment during the subsequent loading.Under low-stress conditions,the creep of both hydrate-free and hydrate-bearing sediments is very weak.However,when stress increases,significantly beyond the yield stress,the creep of both sediments increases significantly,with hydrate-bearing sediment exhibiting much greater creep than hydrate-free sediment.

文摘Material phase-transition represents a significant phenomenon and mechanism in the context of hypervelocity protection.This study presents a thorough analysis of the phase-transition phenomena induced by shock pressure as the shock wave propagates initially to the rear of the projectile.The shock wave that induces a phase-transition is commonly referred to as a macroscopic phase-transition wave,whereas the interface that separates the distinct phases is referred to as macroscopic phase-boundary.The contact interface between the spherical projectile and the thin plate,characterized by its curved surface,plays a significant role in the nonlinear propagation and evolution of wave systems.The pressure distribution along the central axis of a spherical projectile is derived in accordance with the linear decay law observed for axial pressure.On this basis,a quadratic function is employed to characterize the trend of changes in wave front pressure,thereby facilitating the establishment of a model for wave front pressure distribution.Using the phase-transition pressure criterion for materials,the wave front phase evolution process is derived,and the macroscopic phase-boundary is determined.Based on the geometric propagation model(GPM)and the pressure distribution of the wave front,a phase geometric propagation model(PGPM)is proposed.The phase distribution of a spherical projectile impacting a thin plate is obtained by theoretical methods.The accuracy of the PGPM is subsequently validated through a comparison of its results with those obtained from numerical simulations.

文摘Interferometry is a crucial investigative technique used across diverse fields to achieve highprecision measurements.It works by analyzing the phase difference between two interfering waves,which results from variations in optical path lengths within an interferometer.We introduce a novel method for directly measuring changes in the phase difference within an optical interferometer,importantly,with the added advantage of a controllable enhancement factor.This approach is achieved through a two-step process:first,the optical phase difference is encoded into a sub-GHz radiofrequency(RF)signal using microwave-photonic manipulation;then,RF interferometry-assisted phase amplification is implemented at the destructive interference point.In our experiments,we demonstrate a phase sensitivity of 2.14 rad∕nm operating at 140 MHz using a miniature in-fiber Fabry-Pérot interferometer for sub-nanometer displacement sensing,which reveals a sensitivity magnification factor of 258.6.With further refinement,we anticipate that even higher enhancement factors can be achieved,paving the way for the development of cost-effective,ultrasensitive interferometry-based instruments for high-precision optical measurements.
