When coal is exposed in oxygen atmosphere, the physical adsorption and chemisorption happened, and then which resulting chemical reaction followed heat between coal and oxygen. Owing to the complexity and uncertain of molecular structure of coal,it was only reduced that bridge bonds, side chains and O 2 containing functional groups in coal may be prone to oxidation in last year, but not to deeply investigate into the structures and the type of the active radicals. In this paper, according to the last achievements in coal structure research, the hypomethylether bond, hypoalkyl bond of α carbon atom with hydroxyl and α carbon atom with hypomethy side chain and hypomethyl bonds linking up two aromatic hydrocarbon in bridge bonds, and methoxy,aldehyde and alkyls of α carbon atom with hydroxy in side bonds are inferred to be free radical easily to lead to oxidize coal under the ambient temperature and pressure. The order from strong to weak of oxide activation of the seven surface active groups is aldehyde side chains, hypomethylether bonds, hypoalkyl bonds of α carbon atom with hydroxyl, hypoalkyl bonds of α carbon atom with hypomethyl, hypomethyl bonds linking up two aromatic hydrocarbon,methoxy, alkyls side chains of α carbon atom with hydroxyl. Because of the two unsaturated molecular tracks of O 2, unpaired electron clouds of the part of surface active groups of coal enter molecular tracks of O 2 to lead to chemisorb on the conjugate effect and induced effect of surface active groups, and then chemical reaction followed heat happens in them. On the basis of change of bond energy, weighted average method is adopted to count the reaction heat value of each mol CO,CO 2 and H 2O. The property of coal spontaneous combustion is different for the different number and oxidability of the active structure in the coal resulting in the different oxidation heat.展开更多

The physicochemical properties of P(AMC14AB) in aqueous solution were mainly studied with fluorescent probe method, surface tension measurement and conductom- etry. The experimental results show that the aggregation morphology of P(AMC14AB) in aqueous solution is unimolecular micelle as expected. Being different from conventional multimolecular micelle systems, the unimolecular micelle system of P(AMC14AB) not only shows critical micellar concentration (CMC=0), (i.e. once added to pure water, the surface tension decreases immediately in spite how small the density is), but also the surface tension stays almost the same with the concentration increasing. That is to say, there is no mutational point on the relationship curve between surface tension and concentration. Furthermore, the unimolecular micelle system of P(AMC14AB) has no Krafft temperature, i.e. at any temperature, so long as it is dissolved in water, the unimolecular micelles will form. Besides this, for the solubilization of hydrophobic organic substances, the unimolecular micelle system of P(AMC14AB) is obviously different from the common multimolecular micelle system, having no turning point on the relationship curve between toluene solubi- lizaion amount and P(AMC14AB) concentration, and the solubilizing ability of the unimolecular-micelle system of P(AMC14AB) for hydrophobic organic substances is much higher than that of the conventional multimolecular micelle solutions of common surfactants, such as centyl trimethyl ammonium bromide.展开更多

The AFSS is a planar structure which is composed of a fixed frequency-selective surface(FSS), a PIN diodes array, and a DC bias network. The AFSS elements incorporating switchable PIN diodes are discussed. By means of controlling the DC bias network, it is possible to switch the frequency response for reflecting and transmitting. Measured and simulated data validate that when the incidence angle varies from 0°to 30° the AFSS produces more than-11.5 dB isolation across6–18 GHz when forward biased. The insertion loss(IL) is less than 0.5 dB across 10–11 GHz when reverse biased.展开更多

文摘CO oxidation has been performed on Co_(3)O_(4) nanobelts and nanocubes as model catalysts.The Co_(3)O_(4) nanobelts which have a predominance of exposed{011}planes are more active than Co_(3)O_(4) nanocubes with exposed{001}planes.Temperature programmed reduction of CO shows that Co_(3)O_(4) nanobelts have stronger reducing properties than Co_(3)O_(4) nanocubes.The essence of shape and crystal plane effect is revealed by the fact that turnover frequency of Co3+sites of{011}planes on Co_(3)O_(4) nanobelts is far higher than that of{001}planes on Co_(3)O_(4) nanocubes.

文摘Various and critical electrocatalytic processes are involved during the redox reactions in the Li-S batteries,which extremely depend on the surface structure and chemical state.Recently,single-atom concept unlocks a route to maximize the use of surface-active atoms,however,further increasing the density of active site is still strictly limited by the inherent structure that single-atoms are only highly-dispersed on substrate.Herein,we provide a viewpoint that an elaborate facet design with singlecrystalline structure engineering can harvest high-density surface active sites,which can significantly boost the electrocatalyst performance for excellent Li-S batteries.Specifically,the single-crystal CoSe_(2)(scCS)exhibits three-types of terminated(011)facet,efficiently obtaining the surface with a high-rich Co^(3+)–Se bond termination,in contrast with lots of surface grain boundaries and dangling bonds in polycrystalline CoSe_(2).Surprisingly,the surface active sites concentration can reach more than 69%.As anticipated,it can provide high-density and high-efficient active sites,enormously suppressing the shuttle effect and improving the reaction kinetics via accelerating the conversion and deposition of polysulfides and Li2S.This surface lattice strategy with element terminated mode is a promising approach for designing electrocatalyst effect-based energy system,not merely for Li-S batteries.
文摘(2-acrylamido) ethyl tetradecyl dimethylammonium bromide (AMC14AB) was polymerized in aqueous solu- tion to form the homopolymer P(AMC14AB). The physicochemical properties of P(AMC14AB) in aqueous solution were mainly studied with fluorescent probe method, surface tension measurement and conductom- etry. The experimental results show that the aggregation morphology of P(AMC14AB) in aqueous solution is unimolecular micelle as expected. Being different from conventional multimolecular micelle systems, the unimolecular micelle system of P(AMC14AB) not only shows critical micellar concentration (CMC=0), (i.e. once added to pure water, the surface tension decreases immediately in spite how small the density is), but also the surface tension stays almost the same with the concentration increasing. That is to say, there is no mutational point on the relationship curve between surface tension and concentration. Furthermore, the unimolecular micelle system of P(AMC14AB) has no Krafft temperature, i.e. at any temperature, so long as it is dissolved in water, the unimolecular micelles will form. Besides this, for the solubilization of hydrophobic organic substances, the unimolecular micelle system of P(AMC14AB) is obviously different from the common multimolecular micelle system, having no turning point on the relationship curve between toluene solubi- lizaion amount and P(AMC14AB) concentration, and the solubilizing ability of the unimolecular-micelle system of P(AMC14AB) for hydrophobic organic substances is much higher than that of the conventional multimolecular micelle solutions of common surfactants, such as centyl trimethyl ammonium bromide.
文摘Passive surface-wave utilization has been intensively studied as a means of compensating for the short-age of low-frequency information in active surface-wave measurement, In general, passive surface-wave methods cannot provide phase velocities up to several tens of hertz; thus, active surface-wave methods are often required in order to increase the frequency range, To reduce the amount of field work, we pro-pose a strategy for a high-frequency passive surface-wave survey that imposes active sources during con-tinuous passive surface-wave observation; we call our strategy "mixed-source surface-wave (MSW) measurement," Short-duration (within 10 min) passive surface waves and mixed-source surface waves were recorded at three sites with different noise levels: namely, inside a school, along a road, and along a railway, Spectral analysis indicates that the high-frequency energy is improved by imposing active sources during continuous passive surface-wave observation, The spatial autocorrelation (SPAC) method and the multichannel analysis of passive surface waves (MAPS) method based on cross-correlations were performed on the recorded time sequences, The results demonstrate the flexibility and applicability of the proposed method for high-frequency phase velocity analysis, We suggest that it will be constructive to perform MSW measurement in a seismic investigation, rather than exclusively performing either active surface-wave measurement or passive surface-wave measurement,

文摘In this paper,we propose an active reconfigurable intelligent surface(RIS)enabled hybrid relaying scheme for a multi-antenna wireless powered communication network(WPCN),where the active RIS is employed to assist both wireless energy transfer(WET)from the power station(PS)to energyconstrained users and wireless information transmission(WIT)from users to the receiving station(RS).For further performance enhancement,we propose to employ both transmit beamforming at the PS and receive beamforming at the RS.We formulate a sumrate maximization problem by jointly optimizing the RIS phase shifts and amplitude reflection coefficients for both the WET and the WIT,transmit and receive beamforming vectors,and network resource allocation.To solve this non-convex problem,we propose an efficient alternating optimization algorithm with the linear minimum mean squared error criterion,semidefinite relaxation(SDR)and successive convex approximation techniques.Specifically,the tightness of applying the SDR is proved.Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed scheme with 10 reflecting elements(REs)and 4 antennas can achieve 17.78%and 415.48%performance gains compared to the single-antenna scheme with 10 REs and passive RIS scheme with 100 REs,respectively.

文摘Active intelligent reflecting surface(IRS)is a novel and promising technology that is able to overcome the multiplicative fading introduced by passive IRS.In this paper,we consider the application of active IRS to nonorthogonalmultiple access(NOMA)networks,where the incident signals are amplified actively through integrating amplifier to reflecting elements.More specifically,the performance of active/passive IRS-NOMA networks is investigated over large and small-scale fading channels.Aiming to characterize the performance of active IRSNOMA networks,the exact and asymptotic expressions of outage probability for a couple of users,i.e.,near-end user n and far-end user m are derived by exploiting a 1-bit coding scheme.Based on approximated analyses,the diversity orders of user n and user m are obtained for active IRS-NOMA.In addition,the system throughput of active IRS-NOMA is discussed in the delay-sensitive transmission.The simulation results are carried out to verify that:i)The outage behaviors of active IRS-NOMAnetworks are superior to that of passive IRS-NOMAnetworks;ii)As the reflection amplitude factors increase,the active IRS-NOMAnetworks are capable of furnishing the enhanced outage performance;and iii)The active IRS-NOMA has a larger system throughput than passive IRS-NOMA and conventional communications.

文摘An experimental double-layer active frequency-selective surface(AFSS) for stealth radome is proposed. The AFSS is a planar structure which is composed of a fixed frequency-selective surface(FSS), a PIN diodes array, and a DC bias network. The AFSS elements incorporating switchable PIN diodes are discussed. By means of controlling the DC bias network, it is possible to switch the frequency response for reflecting and transmitting. Measured and simulated data validate that when the incidence angle varies from 0°to 30° the AFSS produces more than-11.5 dB isolation across6–18 GHz when forward biased. The insertion loss(IL) is less than 0.5 dB across 10–11 GHz when reverse biased.
文摘In light of the percentage of Earth’s cloud coverage, heterogeneous ice nucleation in clouds is the most important global-scale pathway. More recent parameterizations of ice nucleation processes in the atmosphere are based on the concept of ice nucleation active surface site density (<i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">n</span><sub><span style="font-family:Verdana;">s</span></sub></i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">). It is usually assumed that </span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">n</span><sub><span style="font-family:Verdana;">s</span></sub></i><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> is independent of time and aerosol size distribution, </span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">i.e.</span></i><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> that the surface properties of aerosols of the same species do not vary with size. However, the independence of </span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">n</span><sub><span style="font-family:Verdana;">s</span></sub></i><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> on aerosol size for every species has been questioned.

文摘CONSPECTUS:Multiphase reactions combining gas and liquid phases and a solid catalyst are widespread in the chemical industry.The reactions are typically affected by the low gas solubility in liquids and poor mass transfer from the gas phase to the liquid,especially for fast reactions,leading to much lower activity than the intrinsic catalytic activity.In practice,high pressure,temperature,and cosolvents are required to increase the gas solubility and boost the reaction rate.

文摘Isomorphic substitution of ferric ion(Fe~(3+))by aluminum ion(Al~(3+))in iron(hydro)oxides is ubiquitous in natural environments.Aluminum substitution inevitably leads to changes in the microstructures,physicochemical properties,and surface reactions of iron(hydro)oxides,which may have great impacts on the sequestration of nutrients and contaminants in soils and aquatic environments.Over the past decades,the structural properties and surface reactivity of Al-substituted iron(hydro)oxides have been intensively studied.Iron(hydro)oxides in various structural forms and with different Al substitution amounts present high application potentials in addressing environmental issues.A timely summary of the structural properties and interfacial reactions of the most common and representative Al-substituted iron(hydro)oxides is of significance.Herein,the effects of Al substitution on the structural properties and surface activities of iron(hydro)oxides were clarified according to the microstructure,crystal facets,surface site type and density,interfacial reaction mechanisms,and modeling parameters of iron(hydro)oxides.This review systematically elucidates how Al substitution affects the structural properties and surface reactions of iron(hydro)oxides,including the well crystallized goethite and hematite and the poorly crystallized ferrihydrite,providing theoretical guidance for further exploration of the mineralogical characteristics and environmental geochemical behaviors of iron(hydro)oxides.
