文摘To maintain the reliability of power systems,routine inspections using drones equipped with advanced object detection algorithms are essential for preempting power-related issues.The increasing resolution of drone-captured images has posed a challenge for traditional target detection methods,especially in identifying small objects in high-resolution images.This study presents an enhanced object detection algorithm based on the Faster Regionbased Convolutional Neural Network(Faster R-CNN)framework,specifically tailored for detecting small-scale electrical components like insulators,shock hammers,and screws in transmission line.The algorithm features an improved backbone network for Faster R-CNN,which significantly boosts the feature extraction network’s ability to detect fine details.The Region Proposal Network is optimized using a method of guided feature refinement(GFR),which achieves a balance between accuracy and speed.The incorporation of Generalized Intersection over Union(GIOU)and Region of Interest(ROI)Align further refines themodel’s accuracy.Experimental results demonstrate a notable improvement in mean Average Precision,reaching 89.3%,an 11.1%increase compared to the standard Faster R-CNN.This highlights the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in identifying electrical components in high-resolution aerial images.

文摘The stable nanobubbles adhered to mineral surfaces may facilitate their efficient separation via flotation in the mining industry.However,the state of nanobubbles on mineral solid surfaces is still elusive.In this study,molecular dynamics(MD)simulations are employed to examine mineral-like model surfaces with varying degrees of hydrophobicity,modulated by surface charges,to elucidate the adsorption behavior of nanobubbles at the interface.Our findings not only contribute to the fundamental understanding of nanobubbles but also have potential applications in the mining industry.We observed that as the surface charge increases,the contact angle of the nanobubbles increases accordingly with shape transformation from a pancake-like gas film to a cap-like shape,and ultimately forming a stable nanobubble upon an ordered water monolayer.When the solid–water interactions are weak with a small partial charge,the hydrophobic gas(N_(2))molecules accumulate near the solid surfaces.However,we have found,for the first time,that gas molecules assemble a nanobubble on the water monolayer adjacent to the solid surfaces with large partial charges.Such phenomena are attributed to the formation of a hydrophobic water monolayer with a hydrogen bond network structure near the surface.

文摘All-solid-state lithium batteries(ASSLBs)are strongly considered as the next-generation energy storage devices for their high energy density and intrinsic safety.The solid-solid contact between lithium metal and solid electrolyte plays a vital role in the performance of working ASSLBs,which is challenging to investigate quantitatively by experimental approach.This work proposed a quantitative model based on the finite element method for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy simulation of different solid-solid contact states in ASSLBs.With the assistance of an equivalent circuit model and distribution of relaxation times,it is discovered that as the number of voids and the sharpness of cracks increase,the contact resistance Rcgrows and ultimately dominates the battery impedance.Through accurate fitting,inverse proportional relations between contact resistance Rcand(1-porosity)as well as crack angle was disclosed.This contribution affords a fresh insight into clarifying solid-solid contact states in ASSLBs.

文摘High pressure die casting(HPDC)AlSi10Mn Mg alloy castings are widely used in the automobile industry.Mg can optimize the mechanical properties of castings through heat treatment,while the release of thermal stress arouses the deformation of large integrated die-castings.Herein,the development of non-heat treatment Al alloys is becoming the hot topic.In addition,HPDC contains externally solidified crystals(ESCs),which are detrimental to the mechanical properties of castings.To achieve high strength and toughness of non-heat treatment die-casting Al-Si alloy,we used AlSi9Mn alloy as matrix with the introduction of Zr,Ti,Nb,and Ce.Their influences on ESCs and mechanical properties were systematically investigated through three-dimensional reconstruction and thermodynamic simulation.Our results reveal that the addition of Ti increased ESCs'size and porosity,while the introduction of Nb refined ESCs and decreased porosity.Meanwhile,large-sized Al_3(Zr,Ti)phases formed and degraded the mechanical properties.Subsequent introduction of Ce resulted in the poisoning effect and reduced mechanical properties.

文摘The neutron capture resonance parameters for 159Tb are crucial for validating nuclear models,nucleosynthesis during the neutron capture process,and nuclear technology applications.In this study,resonance analyses were performed for the neutron capture cross sections of 159Tb measured at the China Spallation Neutron Source(CSNS)backscattering white neutron beamline(Back-n)facility.The resonance parameters were extracted from the R-Matrix code SAMMY and fitted to the experimental capture yield up to the 1.2 keV resolved resonance region(RRR).The average resonance parameters were determined by performing statistical analysis on the set of the resonance parameters in the RRR.These results were used to fit the measured average capture cross sections using the FITACS code in the unresolved resonance region from 2 keV to 1 MeV.The contributions of partial waves l=0,1,2 to the average capture cross sections are reported.

文摘This paper examines the effect of Fe addition on the microstructure characterized by scanning electron microscopy/electron backscattered diffraction,neutron diffraction,and synchrotron X-ray tomography and the mechanical properties of Al-Mg-Mn-Fe-Cu alloys.The findings reveal that the microstructures of the alloys consisted of an Al matrix,Al_(6)(FeMn),and Al_(2)CuMg phase particles.The addition of Fe significantly increased the yield strength(YS),and ultimate tensile strength(UTS)of the alloys,while reducing elongation.The transformation of the 3D morphology of the Al_(6)(FeMn)phase from separated and fine particles with Chinese-script morphology to interconnected rod-like structure as Fe content increased from 0.1%to 0.8%.This strengthening effect was attributed to the slip lines being blocked at the vicinity of the inter-connected Fe-rich phase,leading to grain rotation and dislocation density increment around the Fe-rich phase,ultimately improving the strength of the alloys.However,the Fe-rich phases and Al_(2)CuMg phases were found to be prone to cracking under tensile stress,resulting in decreased elongation of the alloys.This study provides a potential application in the design and manufacturing of new non-heat-treatable Al alloys for the automotive industry.
文摘The next generation of synchrotron radiation light sources features extremely low emittance,enabling the generation of synchrotron radiation with significantly higher brilliance,which facilitates the exploration of matter at smaller scales.However,the extremely low emittance results in stronger sextupole magnet strengths,leading to high natural chromaticity.This necessitates the use of sextupole magnets to correct the natural chromaticity.For the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility Upgrade(SSRF-U),a lattice was designed for the storage ring that can achieve an ultra-low natural emittance of 72.2 pm·rad at the beam energy of 3.5 GeV.However,the significant detuning effects,driven by high second-order resonant driving terms due to strong sextupoles,will degrade the performance of the facility.To resolve this issue,installation of octupoles in the SSRF-U storage ring has been planned.This paper presents the study results on configuration selection and optimization method for the octupoles.An optimal solution for the SSRF-U storage ring was obtained to effectively mitigate the amplitude-dependent tune shift and the second-order chromaticity,consequently leading to an increased dynamic aperture(DA),momentum acceptance(MA),and reduced sensitivity to magnetic field errors.
文摘CeO_(2) based semiconductor are widely used in solar-driven photothermal catalytic dry reforming of methane(DRM)reaction,but still suffer from low activity and low light utilization efficiency.This study developed graphite-CeO_(2) interfaces to enhance solar-driven photothermal catalytic DRM.Compared with carbon nanotubes-modified CeO_(2)(CeO_(2)-CNT),graphite-modified CeO_(2)(CeO_(2)-GRA)constructed graphite-CeO_(2) interfaces with distortion in CeO_(2),leading to the formation abundant oxygen vacancies.These graphite-CeO_(2) interfaces with oxygen vacancies enhanced optical absorption and promoted the generation and separation of photogenerated carriers.The high endothermic capacity of graphite elevated the catalyst surface temperature from 592.1−691.3℃,boosting light-to-thermal conversion.The synergy between photogenerated carriers and localized heat enabled Ni/CeO_(2)-GRA to achieve a CO production rate of 9985.6 mmol/(g·h)(vs 7192.4 mmol/(g·h)for Ni/CeO_(2))and a light-to-fuel efficiency of 21.8%(vs 13.8%for Ni/CeO_(2)).This work provides insights for designing graphite-semiconductor interfaces to advance photothermal catalytic efficiency.

文摘Symmetry breaking,a critical phenomenon in both natural and artificial systems,is pivotal in constructing chiral structures from achiral building units.This study focuses on the achiral molecule 8,8',8'',8'''-((pyrazine-2,3,5,6-tetrayltetrakis(benzene-4,1-iyl))tetrakis(oxy))tetrakis(octan-1-ol)(TPP-C8OH),an aggregation-induced emission(AIE)molecule,to explore its symmetry breaking behavior in supramolecular assembly.By analyzing TPP-C8OH in various solvents—both non-chiral and chiral—we find that chiral solvents significantly enhance the molecule's symmetry breaking and chiroptical properties.Specially,alcohol solvents,particularly dodecyl alcohol,facilitate the formation of helical structures with both left-handed(M)and right-handed(P)helices within single twisted nanoribbons.This observation contrasts with previously reported symmetry breaking phenomena in assembly systems.Chiral solvents induce assemblies with distinct helical orientations,resulting in notable circularly polarized luminescence(CPL)and circular dichroism(CD)signals.This study elucidates the impact of solvent choice on symmetry breaking and chiral assembly,offering insights into the design of advanced chiral materials with tailored self-assembly processes.

文摘Sulfide-based all-solid-state lithium metal batteries(ASSLMBs)have garnered significant attention due to their potential for high energy density and enhanced safety.However,their practical application is hindered by challenges such as uneven lithium(Li)deposition and the growth of Li dendrites.In this contribution,we propose an amorphous fluorinated interphase(AFI),composed of amorphous LiF and lithiated graphite,to regulate the interfacial Li-ion transport kinetics through in-situ interface chemistry.Amorphous LiF,which exhibits a significantly enhanced Li-ion diffusion compared to its crystalline counterpart,works synergistically with lithiated graphite to promote both short-range and long-range Li-ion transport kinetics at the Li/electrolyte interface.As a result,the Li anode with AFI demonstrates a remarkably enhanced critical current density of 1.6 mA cm^(−2)and an extended cycle life exceeding 1100 h.The Li||LiNi_(0.6)Co_(0.2)Mn_(0.2)O_(2)full cell also achieves a high discharge capacity of 125.7 mA h g^(−1)and retains 71.2%of its initial capacity after 200 cycles.This work provides valuable insights into the rational design of artificial anodic interphase to regulate interfacial Li-ion transport kinetics in ASSLMBs.

文摘The first total synthesis of marine sesquiterpene(hydro)quinone meroterpenoids dysideanones A and E–G(1 and 4–6)has been accomplished in an enantioselective and divergent way.The sesquiterpene fragment and the aromatic moiety were efficiently connected via a site-selective and diastereoselective intermolecular alkylation of Wieland–Miescher ketone derivative 9 and benzyl bromide 10.The core 6/6/6/6-fused backbone of dysideanones was efficiently constructed through an intramolecular radical cyclization reaction.Dysideanone G(6)was easily prepared on a gram-scale and dysideanones A,E,and F(1,4,and 5)were divergently transformed from dysideanone G(6)in one or two steps.

文摘Heteroatom doping has emerged as a powerful strategy to optimize the catalytic and adsorption abilities of electrocatalysts by regulating the electronic structure,thereby enabling the development of efficient electrocatalysts for lithium-sulfur(Li-S)batteries.However,the correlation between the properties of doped atoms and adsorptio n-catalytic ability,as well as the interconnection between adsorption strength and catalytic activity,remains underexplored.Herein,we employed halogen atoms(F,Cl,and Br)with different electronegativities to dope nickel phosphide(Ni_(2)P),aiming to modulate the adsorption properties toward lithium polysulfides(LiPSs).We systematically explored the relationship between the electronegativity of the doping atoms and the adsorption strength,followed by exploring the connection between adsorption and catalytic capabilities.Combined experimental and theoretical analyses reveal that doping halogen atoms effectively strengthens d-p orbital hybridization between Ni atoms and S atoms,thereby enhancing LiPSs anchoring and conversion.Specifically,the chemical adsorption capability is enhanced as the electronegativity of the doped atoms increases.Moreover,the catalytic activity presents a volcano-like trend with the enhancement of adsorption performance,wherein the activity initially increases and subsequently diminishes.Therefore,Cl-doped Ni_(2)P with moderate chemisorption ability exhibits optimal redox kinetics in bidirectional sulfur conversion.Consequently,the Li-S batteries with Cl-Ni_(2)P-separators deliver a high-rate capacity of 790 mAh g^(-1)at 5 C and achieve a remarkable areal capacity of 7.36 mAh cm^(-2)under practical conditions(sulfur loading:7.10 mg cm^(-2);electrolyte/sulfur(E/S)ratio:5μL mg^(-1)).This work uncovers the significance of achieving a balance between adsorption and catalytic capabilities,offering insights into designing efficient electrocatalysts for lithium-sulfur batteries.

文摘Aqueous Zn-I_(2)-Mn hybrid batteries demonstrate enhanced capacity,superior redox reaction kinetics,and prolonged cycle life compared to their Zn-I_(2)and Zn-Mn counterparts,making them promising candidates for grid-scale energy storage.Nevertheless,challenges remain in developing multifunctional positive electrode materials and elucidating the mechanistic synergy governing iodine and manganese redox reactions.Herein,we present a high-performance free-standing electrode composed of birnessite(KMnO)nanosheet arrays in situ grown on carbon cloth(CC@KMnO)for constructing a Zn-I_(2)-Mn hybrid battery.Combined theoretical studies and in situ characterizations reveal that CC@KMnO enhances iodine species adsorption,lowers the Gibbs free energy change for iodine reduction,and significantly accelerates I^(-)/I_(3)^(-)/I_(5)^(-)redox kinetics while suppressing polyiodide shuttling and corrosion effects.Synchronously,the Zn I_(2)electrolyte facilitates the dissolution of residual and exfoliated KMnO,thereby improving manganese redox reaction kinetics,reversibility,and enhancing cycling stability.Leveraging this mutually reinforcing effect,the Zn-I_(2)-Mn hybrid battery achieves an impressive areal capacity of2.02 m Ah cm^(-2)and maintains long-term durability over 3600 cycles at 2 mA cm^(-2).This work provides valuable insights into designing efficient and durable hybrid energy storage systems.
