In addition, we obtain the absorption spectra of the periodic structure of C_2O, which show optical anisotropy. To study the optical properties of C_2O nanostructures, time-dependent density functional theory(TDDFT) is used. The C_2O nanostructure has a strong absorption near 7 eV when the incident light polarizes along the armchair-edge. Besides, we find that the optical properties can be controlled by the edge configuration and the size of the C_2O nanostructure. With the elongation strain increasing, the range of light absorption becomes wider and there is a red shift of absorption spectrum.展开更多

The ...With the development of unconventional hydrocarbon, how to improve the shale oil and gas recovery become urgent. Therefore hydraulic fracturing becomes the key due to the complicated properties of the reservoirs. The pore structure not only plays an essential role in the formation of complex fracture networks after fracturing but also in resource accumulation mechanism analyses. The lacustrine organicrich shale samples were selected to carry out petrophysical experiments. Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM) and X-ray Diffraction were performed to elucidate the geology characteristics. MICP, 2D NMR, CT,and N2adsorption were conducted to classify the pore structure types. The contribution of pore structure to oil accumulation and hydrocarbon enrichment was explained through the N2adsorption test on the original and extracted state and 2D NMR. The results show that micropores with diameter less than20 nm are well-developed. The pore structure was divided into three types. Type Ⅰ is characterized by high porosity, lower surface area, and good pore throat connectivity, with free oil existing in large pores,especially lamellation fractures. The dominant nano-pores are spongy organic pores and resources hosted in large pores have been expelled during high thermal evolution. The content of nano-pores(micropores) increases and the pore volume decreases in Type Ⅱ pore structure. In addition, more absorbed oil was enriched. The pore size distribution of type Ⅱ is similar to that of type Ⅰ. However, the maturity and hydrocarbon accumulation is quite different. The oil reserved in large pores was not expelled attributed to the relatively low thermal evolution compared with type Ⅰ. Structural vitrinite was observed through SEM indicating kerogen of type Ⅲ developed in this kind of reservoir while the type of kerogen in pore structure Ⅰ is type Ⅱ. Type Ⅲ pore structure is characterized by the largest surface area,lowest porosity, and almost isolated pores with rarely free oil. Type Ⅰ makes the most contribution to hydrocarbon accumulation and immigration, which shows the best prospect. Of all of these experiments,N2adsorption exhibits the best in characterizing pores in shales due to its high resolution for the assessment of nano-scale pores. MICP and NMR have a better advantage in characterizing pore space of sandstone reservoirs, even tight sandstone reservoirs. 2D NMR plays an essential role in fluid recognition and saturation calculation. CT scanning provides a 3D visualization of reservoir space and directly shows the relationship between pores and throats and the characteristics of fractures. This study hopes to guide experiment selection in pore structure characterization in different reservoirs. This research provides insight into hydrocarbon accumulation of shales and guidance in the exploration and development of unconventional resources, for example for geothermal and CCUS reservoirs.展开更多

The Co3O4-CeO2 catalysts with different Co/Ce ratios (mol/mol) were prepared via the nanocasting method and the mesostructure was replicated from two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal SBA-15 and three-dimensional (3D) cubic KIT-6 silicas, respectively. All the obtained Co3O4-CeO2 catalysts exhibited the similar symmetry with the parent silicas and well ordered mesostructures. The Co3O4- CeO2 catalysts with 2D mesostructure showed lower catalytic activities than the corresponding 3D materials. The Co3O4-CeO2 catalyst nanocasted from KIT-6 and with the Co/Ce ratio of 16/1 possessed the best catalytic benzene oxidation activity due to larger quantities of surface hydroxyl groups and surface oxygenated species. The mesostructured Co3O4-CeO2 material thus shows great potential as a promising eco-environmental catalyst for benzene effective elimination.展开更多

Two fluorinated salt systems were used to etch Al from Ti_2 AlC powder precursor under the argon atmosphere, and then the resulting MXene was delaminated with TBAOH to produce few-layered nanosheets of Ti_2CT_x. The reaction was undergone at different temperatures to study the effect of temperature.The results show that the optimal reaction temperature is 600 ℃ in LiF-NaF-KF system, and 850 ℃ in NaFKF system. The molten salt treated products are delaminated and quasi-2 D MXene sheets can be obtained. The thickness of the MXene sheets prepared from the binary molten salt system is smaller than that of the ternary molten salt system.展开更多

Therefore, searching for layered compounds with sharp anisotropic chemical bonding and properties becomes emergent. In this work, the stability, electronic structure, elastic properties, and lattice dynamics of YBCwere investigated. Strong anisotropy in elastic properties is revealed, i.e., high Young’s modulus in a-b plane but low Young’s modulus in c direction. The maximum to minimum Young’s modulus ratio is 2.41 and 2.45 for YBCwith P42/mmc and P4/mbm symmetry, respectively. The most likely systems for shear sliding or microdelaminating are(001)[100] and(001)[010]. The anisotropic elastic properties are underpinned by the anisotropic chemical bonding, i.e., strong bonding within the BCnets and weak bonding between Y atom layers and BCnets. YBCis electrically conductive and the contributions to the electrical conductivity are from delocalized Y 4deas well as Bpandpzelectrons. The layered crystal structure, sharp anisotropic mechanical properties, and metallic conductivity endorse YBCpromising as a precursor for new 2D BCnets.展开更多

文摘The interface crack problems in the two-dimensional(2D)decagonal quasicrystal(QC)coating are theoretically and numerically investigated with a displacement discontinuity method.The 2D general solution is obtained based on the potential theory.An analogy method is proposed based on the relationship between the general solutions for 2D decagonal and one-dimensional(1D)hexagonal QCs.According to the analogy method,the fundamental solutions of concentrated point phonon displacement discontinuities are obtained on the interface.By using the superposition principle,the hypersingular boundary integral-differential equations in terms of displacement discontinuities are determined for a line interface crack.Further,Green’s functions are found for uniform displacement discontinuities on a line element.The oscillatory singularity near a crack tip is eliminated by adopting the Gaussian distribution to approximate the delta function.The stress intensity factors(SIFs)with ordinary singularity and the energy release rate(ERR)are derived.Finally,a boundary element method is put forward to investigate the effects of different factors on the fracture.

文摘To effectively address energy challenges,it is crucial to explore efficient and stable bifunctional nonprecious metal catalysts.In this study,a Mo-doped nickeliron layered double hydroxide with flower-cluster architecture was successfully prepared by a one-step hydrothermal method,which demonstrated a good water splitting performance.After an appropriate amount of Mo doping,some lattice distortions in the material provided reactive sites for the adsorption and conversion of intermediates,thus optimising the charge distribution of the material.Moreover,the multidimensional void structures formed after doping had a larger specific surface area and accelerated the penetration of the electrolyte,which significantly improved the activity of the catalyst in alkaline media.At 10 mA·cm^(-2),the hydrogen and oxygen evolution overpotentials of Mo-doped nickel-iron double hydroxides(Mo-NiFe LDH/NF-0.2)were 167 and 220 mV,respectively,with an excellent durability up to 24 h.When the Mo-NiFe LDH/NF-0,2 catalyst was used as the cathode and anode of an electrolytic cell,the catalyst achieved a current density of 10 mA·cm^(-2)at an applied voltage of 1.643 V.This study provides a novel approach for designing excellent bifunctional electrocatalysts containing nonprecious metals.

文摘According to first principle simulations, we theoretically predict a type of stable single-layer graphene oxide(C_2O).Using density functional theory(DFT), C_2O is found to be a direct gap semiconductor. In addition, we obtain the absorption spectra of the periodic structure of C_2O, which show optical anisotropy. To study the optical properties of C_2O nanostructures, time-dependent density functional theory(TDDFT) is used. The C_2O nanostructure has a strong absorption near 7 eV when the incident light polarizes along the armchair-edge. Besides, we find that the optical properties can be controlled by the edge configuration and the size of the C_2O nanostructure. With the elongation strain increasing, the range of light absorption becomes wider and there is a red shift of absorption spectrum.

文摘Quasi-two-dimensional(2D)perovskite embodies characteristics of both three-dimensional(3D)and 2D perovskites,achieving the superior external environment stability structure of 2D perovskites alongside the high efficiency of 3D perovskites.This effect is realized through critical structural modifications in device fabrication.Typically,perovskites have an octahedral structure,generally ABX3,where an organic ammonium cation(A’)participates in forming the perovskite structure,with A’_(n)(n=1 or 2)sandwiched between A_(n-1)B_(n)X_(3n+1)perovskite layers.Depending on whether A’is a monovalent or divalent cation,2D perovskites are classified into Ruddlesden-Popper perovskite or Dion-Jacobson perovskite,each generating different structures.Although each structure achieves similar effects,they incorporate distinct mechanisms in their formation.And according to these different structures,various properties appear,and additive and optimizing methods to increase the efficiency of 3D perovskites also exist in 2D perovskites.In this review,scientific understanding and engineering perspectives of the quasi-2D perovskite is investigated,and the optimal structure quasi-2D and the device optimization is also discussed to provide the insight in the field.

文摘Incorporating organic bulky cations in the precursor or post-treatment to achieve two-dimensional/thr ee-dimensional(2D/3D)heterojunction is an effective strategy for enhancing the stability of perovskite materials.However,the issue of insufficient charge transport in 2D perovskites limits their development,and the fundamental mechanism of out-of-plane carrier transport remains unclear.This study designed and synthesized seven organic phenyl-core cations,differentiated at the 1-and 1,4-positions,and identified the impacts on the corresponding properties of the 2D crystalline perovskite.Shorter cations facilitated a more compact arrangement of adjacent inorganic layers,aligning to favor charge transport along the vertical direction.In addition,introducing high electronegativity led to increased intermolecular interactions,resulting in enhanced structural stability and improved phenyl ring π-orbital overlap and interlayer electron coupling,yielding efficient charge transport.Resilience to thermal stressing of the perovskite was strongly correlated with the carbon chain length of the spacer cations.The increase in cation length and the reduction in the rigidity of the amino-terminal both aided in the dispersion of thermal stress in the inorganic framework.Additional hydrogen bonding also contributed to mitigating structural disorder.

文摘With the development of unconventional hydrocarbon, how to improve the shale oil and gas recovery become urgent. Therefore hydraulic fracturing becomes the key due to the complicated properties of the reservoirs. The pore structure not only plays an essential role in the formation of complex fracture networks after fracturing but also in resource accumulation mechanism analyses. The lacustrine organicrich shale samples were selected to carry out petrophysical experiments. Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM) and X-ray Diffraction were performed to elucidate the geology characteristics. MICP, 2D NMR, CT,and N2adsorption were conducted to classify the pore structure types. The contribution of pore structure to oil accumulation and hydrocarbon enrichment was explained through the N2adsorption test on the original and extracted state and 2D NMR. The results show that micropores with diameter less than20 nm are well-developed. The pore structure was divided into three types. Type Ⅰ is characterized by high porosity, lower surface area, and good pore throat connectivity, with free oil existing in large pores,especially lamellation fractures. The dominant nano-pores are spongy organic pores and resources hosted in large pores have been expelled during high thermal evolution. The content of nano-pores(micropores) increases and the pore volume decreases in Type Ⅱ pore structure. In addition, more absorbed oil was enriched. The pore size distribution of type Ⅱ is similar to that of type Ⅰ. However, the maturity and hydrocarbon accumulation is quite different. The oil reserved in large pores was not expelled attributed to the relatively low thermal evolution compared with type Ⅰ. Structural vitrinite was observed through SEM indicating kerogen of type Ⅲ developed in this kind of reservoir while the type of kerogen in pore structure Ⅰ is type Ⅱ. Type Ⅲ pore structure is characterized by the largest surface area,lowest porosity, and almost isolated pores with rarely free oil. Type Ⅰ makes the most contribution to hydrocarbon accumulation and immigration, which shows the best prospect. Of all of these experiments,N2adsorption exhibits the best in characterizing pores in shales due to its high resolution for the assessment of nano-scale pores. MICP and NMR have a better advantage in characterizing pore space of sandstone reservoirs, even tight sandstone reservoirs. 2D NMR plays an essential role in fluid recognition and saturation calculation. CT scanning provides a 3D visualization of reservoir space and directly shows the relationship between pores and throats and the characteristics of fractures. This study hopes to guide experiment selection in pore structure characterization in different reservoirs. This research provides insight into hydrocarbon accumulation of shales and guidance in the exploration and development of unconventional resources, for example for geothermal and CCUS reservoirs.

文摘Mesostructured Co3O4-CeO2 composite was found to be an effective catalytic material for the complete oxidation of benzene. The Co3O4-CeO2 catalysts with different Co/Ce ratios (mol/mol) were prepared via the nanocasting method and the mesostructure was replicated from two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal SBA-15 and three-dimensional (3D) cubic KIT-6 silicas, respectively. All the obtained Co3O4-CeO2 catalysts exhibited the similar symmetry with the parent silicas and well ordered mesostructures. The Co3O4- CeO2 catalysts with 2D mesostructure showed lower catalytic activities than the corresponding 3D materials. The Co3O4-CeO2 catalyst nanocasted from KIT-6 and with the Co/Ce ratio of 16/1 possessed the best catalytic benzene oxidation activity due to larger quantities of surface hydroxyl groups and surface oxygenated species. The mesostructured Co3O4-CeO2 material thus shows great potential as a promising eco-environmental catalyst for benzene effective elimination.

文摘We prepared a two-dimensional transition metal carbide Ti_2CT_x by treatment of Ti_2 AlC in molten fluoride salt. Two fluorinated salt systems were used to etch Al from Ti_2 AlC powder precursor under the argon atmosphere, and then the resulting MXene was delaminated with TBAOH to produce few-layered nanosheets of Ti_2CT_x. The reaction was undergone at different temperatures to study the effect of temperature.The results show that the optimal reaction temperature is 600 ℃ in LiF-NaF-KF system, and 850 ℃ in NaFKF system. The molten salt treated products are delaminated and quasi-2 D MXene sheets can be obtained. The thickness of the MXene sheets prepared from the binary molten salt system is smaller than that of the ternary molten salt system.

文摘Structural modification of three dimensional(3D)materials for the application of dielectric loss-based microwave absorbing materials(MAMs)usually relies on intricate synthesis process and can pose challenges in terms of scalability and mass production for practical application.In this work,we reported a successful attempt in modifying the 3D structure of mesoporous lanthanum oxide(La_(2)O_(3))for effective broadband MAMs candidate via simple co-precipitation process.The inclusion of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTAB)and hydrothermal aging treatment result in a significant transformation of La_(2)O_(3)particles from their original polygonal form to a 3D coral-like and nano needle-like structure.The utilization of CTAB and hydrothermal aging results in the increase of surface area and a two-fold increase in pore volume of the resulting La_(2)O_(3).Due to its unique 3D structure,the 3D coral-like and nano needle-like La_(2)O_(3)materials possess a broadband electromagnetic(EM)wave absorption characteristic with the effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)covering the C-band frequency range.Specifically,in the La_(2)O_(3)C-H sample(with CTAB-with hydrothermal),it exhibits strong EM wave absorption with a reflection loss(RL)value of-33.07 dB which equals to 99.95%EM wave absorption at a thickness of only 1.50 mm.The detailed analysis of EM wave absorption properties reveals that the improvement of La_(2)O_(3)materials to attenuate EM wave energy arises from the dielectric loss phenomenon,the enhanced interfacial polarization,multiple reflections mechanism,and conduction loss mechanism induced by the 3D structural formation of the La_(2)O_(3)structure.This work proposes a novel and efficient approach in synthesizing and modifying 3D materials for effective broadband EM wave absorption.

文摘Layered compounds play pivotal roles as precursors for producing 2D materials through mechanical exfoliation(micro-mechanical cleavage) or chemical approaches. Therefore, searching for layered compounds with sharp anisotropic chemical bonding and properties becomes emergent. In this work, the stability, electronic structure, elastic properties, and lattice dynamics of YBCwere investigated. Strong anisotropy in elastic properties is revealed, i.e., high Young’s modulus in a-b plane but low Young’s modulus in c direction. The maximum to minimum Young’s modulus ratio is 2.41 and 2.45 for YBCwith P42/mmc and P4/mbm symmetry, respectively. The most likely systems for shear sliding or microdelaminating are(001)[100] and(001)[010]. The anisotropic elastic properties are underpinned by the anisotropic chemical bonding, i.e., strong bonding within the BCnets and weak bonding between Y atom layers and BCnets. YBCis electrically conductive and the contributions to the electrical conductivity are from delocalized Y 4deas well as Bpandpzelectrons. The layered crystal structure, sharp anisotropic mechanical properties, and metallic conductivity endorse YBCpromising as a precursor for new 2D BCnets.
