HEAs is generally low, significantly limiting their practical applications. Recently, the alloying of W has been evidenced to be able to remarkably improve the mechanical properties of f.c.c. HEAs and is becoming a hot topic in the community of HEAs. To date, when W is introduced, multiple strengthening mechanisms, including solid-solution strengthening, precipitation strengthening (μphase,σphase, and b.c.c. phase), and grain-refinement strengthening, have been discovered to be activated or enhanced. Apart from mechanical properties, the addition of W improves corrosion resistance as W helps to form a dense WO_(3) film on the alloy surface. Until now, despite the extensive studies in the literature, there is no available review paper focusing on the W doping of the f.c.c. HEAs. In that context, the effects of W doping on f.c.c. HEAs were reviewed in this work from three aspects, i.e., microstructure,mechanical property, and corrosion resistance. We expect this work can advance the application of the W alloying strategy in the f.c.c. HEAs.展开更多

The extracted organic and inorganic compounds identified in both particle size ranges consisted of n-alkanes, PAHs （polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons）, fatty acids and water soluble ions. The potential emission sources of these organic compounds were reconciled by combining the values of n-alkane carbon preference index （CPI）, %waxCn, selected diagnostic ratios of PAHs and principal component analysis in both size ranges. The mean cumulative concentrations of n-alkanes reached 1128.65 ng/m3 in Beijing, 74% of which （i.e., 831.7 ng/m3） was in the PM2.5 fraction, PAHs reached 136.45 ng/m3 （113.44 ng/m3 or 83% in PM2.5）, and fatty acids reached 436.99 ng/m3 （324.41 ng/m3 or 74% in PM2.5）, which resulted in overall enrichment in the fine particles. The average concentrations of SO42-, NO3-, and NH4＋ were 21.3 ± 15.2, 6.1 ±1.8, 12.5 ± 6.1 μg/m3 in PM2.5, and 25.8±15.5, 8.9± 2.6, 16.9±9.5 μg/m3 in PM10, respectively. These three secondary ions primarily existed as ammonium sulfate （（NH4）2SO4）, ammonium bisulfate （NH4HSO4） and ammonium nitrate （NH4NO3）. The characteristic ratios of PAHs revealed that the primary sources of PAHs were coal combustion, followed by gasoline combustion. The ratios of stearic/palmitic acid indicated the major contribution of vehicle emissions to fatty acids in airborne particles. The major alkane sources were biogenic sources and fossil fuel combustion. The major sources of PAHs were vehicular emission and coal combustion.展开更多

The concentrations of total n-alkanes, PAHs, and organic acids before Chinese Spring Festival Eve （1025.5, 95.9, and 543.3 ng/m3, respectively） were higher than those after （536.6, 58.9, and 331.8 ng/m3, respectively）, n-Aalkanes and PAHs had much higher concentration in nighttime than those in daytime because of high relative humidity and low wind speed during the night. Combustion of coal and exhaust emission were major sources of n- alkanes. It could be concluded by the characteristic ratios that the primary source of PAHs in fine particles was the combustion of coal, but the combustion of gasoline was in the next place. The ratios of C18：0/C16 indicated the contribution of vehicular emissions to the fatty acids. Dicarboxylic and aromatic acids were abundant in daytime than in nighttime because these acids were secondary organic acid and the photochemical degradation of aromatic hydrocarbons was the main source.展开更多

文摘In cold regions,slope rocks are inevitably impacted by freeze-thaw,dry-wet cycles and their alternating actions,leading to strength weakening and pore degradation.In this study,the mechanical and microstructural properties of schist subjected to four conditions were investigated:freeze-thaw cycles in air(FTA),freeze-thaw cycles in water(FTW),dry-wet cycles(DW),and dry-wet-freeze-thaw cycles(DWFT).Uniaxial compressive strength(UCS),water absorption,ultrasonication,low-field nuclear magnetic resonance,and scanning electron microscopy analyses were conducted.The integrity attenuation characteristics of the longitudinal wave velocity,UCS,and elastic modulus were analyzed.The results showed that liquid water emerged as a critical factor in reducing the brittleness of schist.The attenuation function model accurately described the peak stress and static elastic modulus of schist in various media(R2>0.97).Different media affected the schist deterioration and half-life,with the FTW-immersed samples having a half-life of 28 cycles.Furthermore,the longitudinal wave velocity decreased as the number of cycles increased,with the FTW showing the most significant reduction and having the shortest half-life of 208 cycles.Moreover,the damage variables of compressive strength and elastic modulus increased with the number of cycles.After 40 cycles,the schist exposed to FTW exhibited the highest damage variables and saturated water content.
文摘To achieve efficient catalytic hydrogenation of CO_(2)to formate,we employed a transmetallation strategy to develop three novel iridium(Ⅰ)complexes,which feature N‑heterocyclic carbene‑nitrogen‑phosphine ligands(CNP)and a 1,5‑cyclooctadiene(cod)molecule:[Ir(cod)(κ^(3)‑CN^(im)P)]Cl(1⁃Cl),[Ir(cod)(κ^(3)‑CN^(im)P)]PF6(1⁃PF_(6)),and[Ir(cod)(κ^(3)‑CNHP)]Cl(2).The^(1)H NMR spectra,^(31)P NMR spectra,and high‑resolution mass spectra verify the successful synthesis of these three Ir(Ⅰ)‑CNP complexes.Furthermore,single‑crystal X‑ray diffraction analysis confirms the coordination geometry of 1⁃PF_(6).The strong Ir—C(NHC)bond suggests that the carbene carbon plays an enhanced anchoring role to iridium due to its strongσ‑donating ability,which helps stabilize the active metal species during CO_(2)hydrogenation.As a result,the Ir(Ⅰ)‑CNP complex exhibits remarkable activity and long catalytic lifetime for the hydrogenation of CO_(2)to formate,reaching a turnover number(TON)of 1.16×10^(6)after 150 h at a high temperature of 170℃,which was a relatively high value among all the Ir complexes.CCDC:2384071,1⁃PF_(6).

文摘Cadmium(Cd)or excess copper(Cu)has a great impact in terms of toxicity on living organisms as it severely affects crop growth,yield and food security;thus,warranting appropriate measures for the remediation of Cd or Cu polluted soils.Phytoextraction of heavy metal(HM)using tolerant plants along with organic chelators has gained global attention,and this study provided further insights into this issue.Pot experiments were performed to evaluate the effects of different types of chelators[ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid(EDTA),ethylenediamine disuccinic acid(EDDS)and citric acid(CA)]to improve the phytoextraction capacity of Ricinus communis L.for the metals Cd and Cu.Contaminated soil from a copper smelter was used in this study.A rhizon soil sampler was used to determine the metal concentrations in soil pore water.The results indicated that R.communis was an adequate candidate for chelator induced phytoextraction under the experimental conditions and that EDDS would be a good candidate chelator for the phytoextraction of Cu in soils.EDTA addition obviously improved the uptake of Cd and Cu in R.communis;however,it posed the greatest risk because the concentration of HMs in soil pore water was very high even after 40 days.Compared with EDTA and EDDS,CA had few effects on Cd or Cu uptake in R.communis.Linear relationships between the metal uptake in R.communis shoots and the maximum HM concentrations in soil pore water under HM,2.5,5,and 10 mmol·kg^(-1) treatments were typically observed.From the results of this study,it could be concluded that EDDS treatments played a promising role in increasing the uptake of Cd or Cu and reducing its phytotoxicity.EDDS application could be an effective approach for the phytoextraction of Cd or Cu from polluted soils by growing Ricinus communis L.

文摘Scarring poses a significant challenge in wound healing,especially for chronic wounds like those linked to diabetes.This study developed a dual drug-loaded core-shell fiber scaffold(PSPC)containing curcumin(Cur)in the shell and salvianolic acid B(SAB)in the core via electrospinning to address this challenging issue through synergistic anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrosis efficacy.The PSPC scaffold presented favorable tensile properties(3.78±0.29 MPa of tensile strength and 337.64%±32.07%of elongation at break)and suture retention(2.71±0.17 N).In vitro experiments confirmed that this scaffold was biocompatible,supporting cell adhesion and proliferation.Additionally,it also scavenged excessive intracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS)and promoted macrophage polarization towards the regenerative M2 phenotype.In vivo studies using a mouse diabetic wound model showed that the PSPC scaffold effectively mitigated inflammatory responses,promoted neoangiogenesis,and facilitated epidermal formation and re-epithelialization.More importantly,the scaffold also modulated collagen synthesis,decreased the collagen type Ⅰ/Ⅲ ratio,supported the functional regeneration of hair follicles,sebaceous glands,and other skin appendages,then ultimately achieved the goal of chronic diabetic wound healing and scar reduction.The developed dual drug-loaded fiber scaffold integrating anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrosis presents a promising strategy for the anti-scarring treatment of chronic wounds.

文摘The direct oxidation of methane to methanol(DOMM) has been recognized as a significant technology for efficiently utilizing low-concentration coalbed methane(LCMM) and supplying liquid fuel.Herein,the noble metals(Pt,Pd and Ru) modified Cu/alkalized sepiolite(CuX/SEPA) catalysts were prepared and used for the DOMM in a gas-phase system at low temperatures.The CuRu/SEPA exhibited the highest methanol production of 53 μmol·g^(-1)·h^(-1) and methanol selectivity of 90% under the optimal reaction conditions.Various characterizations demonstrated that the addition of Ru promoted the formation of Cu^(2+)and the contraction of Cu—Si/Al bonds to reduce the distance between framework Al atoms of SEPA to further generate more Al pairs,which facilitated the formation of reactive dicopper species([Cu_(2)O]^(2+)or [Cu_(2)O_(2)]^(2+)).Investigation of the reaction mechanism revealed that [Cu_(2)O]^(2+) or [Cu_(2)O_(2)]^(2+) species could adsorb and activate methane to form CH_(3)O^(*) species and ultimately generated methanol with the assistance of water.

文摘SnSe_(2) single crystals,as novel n-type plastic thermoelectric materials,present advantages such as envi-ronmental sustainability and cost-effectiveness.Single crystals of SnSe_(2)+x%PbBr_(2)(x=0,0.5,1,2,and 3)with large size and high quality were successfully synthesized via the Bridgman method.The significant enhancement in power factor and effective suppression of lattice thermal conductivity can be achieved through PbBr_(2) doping,verifying a synergistic optimization of electrical and thermal transport properties.Specifically,Br atoms are effectively incorporated into the Se sites to manipulate the carrier concentra-tion and optimize the power factor,while simultaneously inducing a strong phonon softening effect by introducing Pb atoms at the Sn sites,which leads to a reduced phonon group velocity and a suppres-sion of lattice thermal conductivity.Consequently,SnSe_(2)+2%PbBr_(2) single-crystal sample achieves a peak figure of merit zT of~0.76 and an average zT of~0.51,giving rise to corresponding improvements of~533% and~538%,respectively,compared to the pristine SnSe_(2) sample,thereby outperforming most of the previously reported SnSe_(2)-based materials.This work provides a viable approach for promoting the thermoelectric performance of SnSe^(2)-based single crystals across a broad temperature range and supports the advancement of plastic thermoelectric materials.

文摘The role of cerium(Ce)in enhancing the hot ductility of super austenitic stainless steel S32654 at 850–1250℃was systematically unveiled through theoretical calculations and microstructure characterization.The results indicated that Ce microalloying improved the hot ductility of S32654 throughout the entire deformation temperature range.Specifically,the addition of Ce greatly enhanced the hot ductility in the low(850–900℃)and high(1100–1250℃)temperature ranges,but only slightly increased that in the medium temperature range(900–1100℃).At 850–900℃,Ce addition not only reduced the sulfur(S)content and suppressed the S segregation at the grain boundary,but also promoted the formation of slip bands and deformation twins,apparently improving the hot ductility.At 900–1100℃,Ce addition promoted the nucleation of intergranularσphases and dynamic recrystallization(DRX)grains,which have adverse and beneficial effects on the hot ductility,respectively.As the temperature increased,the precipitation tendency presented a first increasing and then decreasing trend around 1000℃,while the DRX gradually increased.Accordingly,the improvement degree of Ce on the hot ductility first weakened and then enhanced.At 1100–1250℃,Ce significantly promoted the DRX to form more fine and uniform deformation structure,thereby remarkably increasing the cracking resistance and then the hot ductility.

文摘Proton exchange membrane fuel cells(PEMFCs)have gained increasing interests as promising power sources due to their ability to convert hydrogen and oxygen directly into electricity with high efficiency and zero greenhouse gas emissions.Bipolar plates(BPs)are considered as a critical component of PEMFCs,serving to collect current,separate gases,distribute the flow field,and conduct heat.This paper reviews the technical status and advancements in BP materials,with special focus on strategies for enhancing interfacial contact resistance(ICR)and corrosion resistance through conductive polymer(CP)coatings.First,commonly used BP materials in PEMFCs are summarized.Then,the advantages and limitations of various coatings for metallic BPs are discussed.Finally,recent progress in CP coatings for metallic BPs,aimed at achieving high corrosion resistance and low ICR,is comprehensively reviewed.

文摘Aiming at integrally improving the solidification,homogenization,and hot deformation structures of super austenitic stainless steel,a strategy of feeding the Ce-bearing steel strip into S32654 was proposed in this study.The results revealed that this strategy played three main roles in improving the solidification structure:(i)causing rapid supercooling of the molten steel,(ii)promoting dendrite nucleation through the generation of numerous floating dendrites and Ce-bearing inclusions,and(iii)enhancing compositional supercooling by[Ce].These three roles synergistically refined the solidification structure,reduced Mo segregation,and inhibitedσphase precipitation.During the high-temperature homogenization process,this strategy markedly accelerated the dissolution of theσphase and the uniform distribution of Mo by refining theσphase and reducing the width of the Mo segregation region,thereby significantly shortening the homogenization time.During the hot deformation process,this strategy not only considerably enhanced the degree of dynamic recrystallization(DRX)by promoting discontinuous and continuous DRX but also markedly reduced the strain-induced precipitation tendency of theσphase due to a more uniform distribution of Mo after homogenization.Both benefits jointly improved the hot deformation microstructure without increasing hot-working difficulty.

文摘Alkaline slag is vital in rare earth steel refining,making it crucial to study the wetting and penetration mechanisms between refractory materials and slag.The effect of Eu_(2)O_(3) doping on the sintering properties of MgO-MgAl_(2)O_(4) refractory materials was investigated while simulating the wetting behavior between the refractory and the CaO-Al_(2)O_(3)-SiO_(2)-MgO quaternary alkaline slag during rare earth steel smelting to improve the material’s resistance to alkaline slag corrosion.The doping of Eu_(2)O_(3) can alter the crystal structure parameters of MgAl_(2)O_(4) and MgO,causing lattice distortion.This lattice activation promotes interionic mass and diffusion,helping reduce porosity and promote densification of the material,further improving sintering properties.At the equilibrium wetting temperature(1723 K),Eu_(2)O_(3) doping increases the interfacial free energy between the slag and refractory material,reducing the spreading coefficient of the molten slag.The contact angle increases from 32.1°to 42.2°,and the residual slag volume increases from 17.9%to 23.5%.The results of thermodynamic analysis show that MgAl_(2)O_(4) and EuAlO3 formed at the interface block the penetration of molten slag at high temperatures,improving the resistance of MgO-MgAl_(2)O_(4) refractories to alkaline slag corrosion.Based on the capillary theory model,it was calculated that the capillary tension of the slag gradually increases with the addition of Eu_(2)O_(3),while the theoretical penetration depth of the slag gradually decreases.The experimental results showed that the slag erosion depth of the sample decreased from 102.54 to 68.28μm.

文摘Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a common type of microplastics (MPs) often found in coastal areas especially aquaculture areas.It is considered as an important site for microbial colonization and biofilm formation,as well as a carrier of pollutants like heavy metals.However,the dynamic changes of bacterial communities attached to EPS and their interaction with heavy metals are still poorly unknown.In this study,a one-year field exposure experiment was conducted at an aquaculture farm near Donghai Island,in Leizhou Bay,Zhanjiang,Guangdong,in South China Sea.The bacterial communities attached to EPS MPs were examined by 16S r DNA high-throughput sequencing,and the relationships between bacterial biofilms and heavy metals were explored.The results show that there were notable seasonal variations in the bacterial diversity of EPS MPs.Species biodiversity was the highest in summer and the lowest in winter.The greatest number of bacterial species and lowest level of uniformity were observed in the spring.The bacterial community structure changed with exposure time,and the most significant difference in the 12-month group (P<0.05) was found.The dominant bacterial species attached to EPS MPs were mainly Proteobackteria and Firmicutes at the phylum level,and Pseudomonas and Exiguobacterium were dominant at the genus level.Furthermore,EPS MPs acted as transport carriers for potential pathogenic bacteria.High correlations were found between bacterial species and the total concentration of heavy metals on EPS MPs,as well as their speciation fractions.Different chemical speciation of heavy metals migrated and altered over seasons within biofilms,which would further exacerbate the ecological risks.

文摘To improve the practical application of carbon steel,developing a superhydrophobic coating with outstanding mechanical properties is essential for effective corrosion resistance protection.Here,we obtained a robust superhydrophobic anti-corrosion coating with a cauliflower structure by co-depositing the lauric acid with Ni ions and Mn ions onto a carbon steel through electrodeposition method.As demonstrated by the results,superhydrophobic Ni/Mn alloy(SNMAmit)displays a multi-hierarchical micro/nano cauliflower structure under the synergy of optimal parameters,exhibiting superb superhydrophobicity with contact angle of 161.9°and sliding angle of 6.2°.Surprisingly,the Tafel polarization curves in 3.5%NaCl showed that the corrosion potential of SNMAmit coating was 476 mV,and the corrosion current density was reduced from 1.39×10^(−5)to 5.89×10^(−7)A/cm^(2).The reduced corrosion current density of superhydrophobic Ni/Mn alloy(SNMA)indicates that SNMA coating can significantly enhance the anti-corrosion properties of carbon steel.In addition,after being subjected to various damages such as blade scraping,tape cyclic peeling,acid and alkalis,sandpaper cyclic abrasion,high temperatures,ultrasound,and graphite contaminant,SNMA showed good mechanical stability,interference resistance,heat resistance,and self-cleaning properties,which made it suitable for hostile conditions.

文摘The metal triazole(MTA)-based MOFs were found to preferentially adsorb O-rich species,which had enhanced electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reactions(ORR)and stabilized the O-containing species during the discharge and charge processes in Li-O_(2)battery.However,the MOFs exhibited low electron conductivity and poor electron transfer interface in the electrocatalysis,limiting the electrocatalytic activity.To address this issue,a nanocomposite with the Co-MTA-coated carbon nano tubes(Co-MTA-C)was constructed,which formed the three-dimensional conductivity network connected with the intersecting carbon nano tube(CNT).In this composite,the electron-rich Co-MTA interacted with the highly conductive CNT,resulting in a charge redistribution.Optimized the electronic structure of the Co center through compositional modifications presented a high valence compared to the pure MOFs.In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy revealed a direct reaction of Co sites with intermediates such as LiO_(x),leading to the formation of nanosheet array discharge products.The battery based on optimized CoMTA-C demonstrated fast kinetics and superior stability,with a low overpotential of 1.13 V,high specific capacity of 9057 mAh g^(-1),and long-term durability of 600 cycles.It provides a facile and effective strategy for enhancing the electrocatalytic performance through rational tuning of high-conductivity substances.

文摘Terrestrialization is an important evolutionary process that plants experienced.However,little is known about how land plants acquired aquatic growth behaviors.Here,we integrate multiproxy evidence to elucidate the evolution of the aquatic plant duckweed.Three genera of duckweeds show chronologically gradual degeneration in root structure and stomatal function and a decrease in lignocellulose content,accompanied by the contraction of relevant gene families and/or a decline in their transcription levels.The number of genes in main phytohormone pathways is also gradually decreased.The coordinated action of genes involved in auxin signaling and rhizoid development causes a gradual decrease in adventitious roots.Additionally,the significant expansion of the flavonoid pathway is related to the adaptation of duckweeds to floating growth.This study reconstructs the evolutionary history of duckweeds,tracing its journey from land back to water-a reverse trajectory of early land plants.

文摘The distribution and source of the solvent-extractable organic and inorganic components in PM2.5 （aerodynamics equivalent diameter below 2.5 microns）, and PM10 （aerodynamics equivalent diameter below 10 microns） fractions of airborne particles were studied weekly from September 2006 to August 2007 in Beijing. The extracted organic and inorganic compounds identified in both particle size ranges consisted of n-alkanes, PAHs （polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons）, fatty acids and water soluble ions. The potential emission sources of these organic compounds were reconciled by combining the values of n-alkane carbon preference index （CPI）, %waxCn, selected diagnostic ratios of PAHs and principal component analysis in both size ranges. The mean cumulative concentrations of n-alkanes reached 1128.65 ng/m3 in Beijing, 74% of which （i.e., 831.7 ng/m3） was in the PM2.5 fraction, PAHs reached 136.45 ng/m3 （113.44 ng/m3 or 83% in PM2.5）, and fatty acids reached 436.99 ng/m3 （324.41 ng/m3 or 74% in PM2.5）, which resulted in overall enrichment in the fine particles. The average concentrations of SO42-, NO3-, and NH4＋ were 21.3 ± 15.2, 6.1 ±1.8, 12.5 ± 6.1 μg/m3 in PM2.5, and 25.8±15.5, 8.9± 2.6, 16.9±9.5 μg/m3 in PM10, respectively. These three secondary ions primarily existed as ammonium sulfate （（NH4）2SO4）, ammonium bisulfate （NH4HSO4） and ammonium nitrate （NH4NO3）. The characteristic ratios of PAHs revealed that the primary sources of PAHs were coal combustion, followed by gasoline combustion. The ratios of stearic/palmitic acid indicated the major contribution of vehicle emissions to fatty acids in airborne particles. The major alkane sources were biogenic sources and fossil fuel combustion. The major sources of PAHs were vehicular emission and coal combustion.

文摘The solvent extractable organic compounds （SEOC）, including n-alkanes, polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons, fatty acids, and dicarboxylic acids in PM2.5 during the 2007 Chinese Spring Festival in Beijing, were measured via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for determining the characteristics and sources of these organic pollutants. The concentrations of total n-alkanes, PAHs, and organic acids before Chinese Spring Festival Eve （1025.5, 95.9, and 543.3 ng/m3, respectively） were higher than those after （536.6, 58.9, and 331.8 ng/m3, respectively）, n-Aalkanes and PAHs had much higher concentration in nighttime than those in daytime because of high relative humidity and low wind speed during the night. Combustion of coal and exhaust emission were major sources of n- alkanes. It could be concluded by the characteristic ratios that the primary source of PAHs in fine particles was the combustion of coal, but the combustion of gasoline was in the next place. The ratios of C18：0/C16 indicated the contribution of vehicular emissions to the fatty acids. Dicarboxylic and aromatic acids were abundant in daytime than in nighttime because these acids were secondary organic acid and the photochemical degradation of aromatic hydrocarbons was the main source.
