文摘Cation segregation on cathode surfaces plays a key role in determining the activity and operational stability of solid oxide fuel cells(SOFCs).The double perovskite oxide PrBa_(0.8)Ca_(0.2)Co_(2)O_(5+δ)(PBCC)has been widely studied as an active cathode but still suffer from serious detrimental segregations.To enhance the cathode stability,a PBCC derived A-site medium-entropy Pr_(0.6)La_(0.1)Nd_(0.1)Sm_(0.1)Gd_(0.1)Ba_(0.8)Ca_(0.2)Co_(2)O_(5+δ)(ME-PBCC)oxide was prepared and its segregation behaviors were investigated under different conditions.Compared with initial PBCC oxide,the segregations of BaO and Co_(3)O_(4)on the surface of ME-PBCC material are significantly suppressed,especially for Co_(3)O_(4),which is attributed to its higher configuration entropy.Our results also confirm the improved electrochemical performance and structural stability of ME-PBCC material,enabling it as a promising cathode for SOFCs.

文摘Super-fine electrohydrodynamic inkjet(SIJ)printing of perovskite nanocrystal(PNC)colloid ink exhibits significant potential in the fabrication of high-resolution color conversion microstructures arrays for fullcolor micro-LED displays.However,the impact of solvent on both the printing process and the morphology of SIJ-printed PNC color conversion microstructures remains underexplored.In this study,we prepared samples of CsPbBr3PNC colloid inks in various solvents and investigated the solvent's impact on SIJ printed PNC microstructures.Our findings reveal that the boiling point of the solvent is crucial to the SIJ printing process of PNC colloid inks.Only does the boiling point of the solvent fall in the optimal range,the regular positioned,micron-scaled,conical PNC microstructures can be successfully printed.Below this optimal range,the ink is unable to be ejected from the nozzle;while above this range,irregular positioned microstructures with nanoscale height and coffee-ring-like morphology are produced.Based on these observations,high-resolution color conversion PNC microstructures were effectively prepared using SIJ printing of PNC colloid ink dispersed in dimethylbenzene solvent.

文摘Metal vanadates garner significant interest because of their exceptional potential for use in diverse practical applications,which stems from their unique framework structures,bond strength heterogeneities,and strong O^(2-)-V^(5+)charge-transfer bands.However,their optoelectronic properties have not yet been sufficiently explored.In this study,we synthesized three high-purity calcium vanadate compounds(Ca V_(2)O_(6),Ca_(2)V_(2)O_(7),and Ca_(3)V_(2)O_(8))and comprehensively investigated their optoelectronic properties via first-principles calculations and experimental characterizations.Ca V_(2)O_(6),Ca_(2)V_(2)O_(7),and Ca_(3)V_(2)O_(8) are indirect band gap semiconductors with band gaps of 2.5-3.4 e V.A comparative analysis between density functional theory(DFT)and DFT+U(local Coulomb interaction,U)calculations revealed that standard DFT was sufficient to accurately describe the lattice parameters and band gaps of these vanadates.Further luminescence studies revealed significant photo-and electro-luminescence properties within the visible light spectrum.Notably,the luminescence intensity of CaV_(2)O_(6) exhibited a remarkable 10-fold enhancement under a modest pressure of only 0.88 GPa,underscoring its exceptional potential for use in pressure-tunable optical applications.These findings provide deeper insight into the electronic structures and optical behaviors of vanadates and highlight their potential as strong candidates for application in phosphor materials and optoelectronic devices.

文摘Laves-phase are among the most abundant groups of alloys with chemical formula AB_(2),known for their hightemperature strength and potential application in hydrogen storage.The Laves-phase generally acts as a strengthening agent,which enhances the strength and durability of alloys at extreme conditions.Consequently,the properties of Lavesphase alloys at extreme conditions attract wide attention.In this study,we investigated the high-pressure phase diagram of Laves-phase alloy HfZn_(2),and discovered a phase transition from C15(space group Fd3m)phase to C14(space group P63/mmc)phase at a pressure above 20 GPa.Based on ab initio simulations,the mechanical,chemical bonding and superconducting properties of high-pressure phase HfZn_(2)were predicted.The ratio of bulk modulus to shear modulus(B/G),a key indicator of mechanical properties in alloys,increases from 1.86 to 4.09 within the pressure range of 50-250 GPa,indicating excellent ductility of the C14 phase of HfZn_(2)under high pressure.Additionally,Zn gains approximately 0.43 electron from Hf at 10 GPa,and the superconducting critical temperature of HfZn_(2)is estimated to be around 0.55 K at 50 GPa.Given that both C14 and C15 phases are common structures in Laves-phase alloys,elucidating the high-pressure behaviors of C14 and C15 phases of HfZn_(2)will enhance the fundamental understanding of properties and potential applications at extreme conditions of Laves-phase alloys.

文摘As the plasma current power in tokamak devices increases,a significant number of stray magnetic fields are generated around the equipment.These stray magnetic fields can disrupt the operation of electronic power devices,particularly transformers in switched-mode power supplies.Testing flyback converters with transformers under strong background magnetic fields highlights electromagnetic compatibility(EMC)issues for such switched-mode power supplies.This study utilizes finite element analysis software to simulate the electromagnetic environment of switched-mode power supply transformers and investigates the impact of variations in different magnetic field parameters on the performance of switched-mode power supplies under strong stray magnetic fields.The findings indicate that EMC issues are associated with transformer core saturation and can be alleviated through appropriate configurations of the core size,air gap,fillet radius,and installation direction.This study offers novel solutions for addressing EMC issues in high magnetic field environments.
文摘Density functional theory(DFT)studies were performed on the lattice parameters,electronic band structure,and optical constants under pressure up to 20 GPa in order to obtain insight into the electronic and optical properties of LiZnAs.The calculated results show LiZnAs is a semiconductor with a direct gap of 0.86 eV,which is smaller than the experimental value 1.1 eV.It also indicates that the structural parameters such as lattice parameters and cell volume show inverse relation to the pressure and shows smooth decreasing behavior from 0 to 20 GPa.Meanwhile,the pressure dependence of the electronic band structure,density of states and partial density of states of LiZnAs up to 20 GPa were presented.And we found that the band gap increased with the pressure.Moreover,the evolution of the dielectric function,absorption coefficient a(w),reflectivity R(w),the refractive index n(w),and the extinction coefficient k(w)of LiZnAs under pressure were presented.According to our work,we found that the optical properties of LiZnAs undergo a blue shift with increasing pressure.These results suggest technological applications of such materials in extreme environments.

文摘The presence of a van Hove singularity(vHS)at the Fermi level can trigger magnetic instability by mediating a spontaneous transition from paramagnetic to magnetically ordered states.While electrostatic doping(typically achieved via ionic gating)to shift the vHS to the Fermi level provides a general mechanism for engineering such magnetism,its volatile nature often leads to the collapse of induced states upon gate field removal.Here,a novel scheme is presented for non-volatile magnetic control by utilizing ferroelectric heterostructures to achieve reversible magnetism switching.Using two-dimensional VSiN_(3),a nonmagnetic material with Mexican-hat electronic band dispersions hosting vHSs,as a prototype,it is preliminarily demonstrated that both electron and hole doping can robustly induce magnetism.Further,by interfacing VSiN_(3)with ferroelectric Sc_(2)CO_(2),reversible switching of its magnetic state via polarization-driven heterointerfacial charge transfer is achieved.This mechanism enables a dynamic transition between insulating and half-metallic phases in VSiN_(3),establishing a pathway to design multiferroic tunnel junctions with giant tunneling electroresistance or magnetoresistance.This work bridges non-volatile ferroelectric control with vHS-enhanced magnetism,opening opportunities for energy-efficient and high-performance spintronic devices and non-volatile memory devices.

文摘Microwave absorbing materials(MAMs)characterized by high absorption efficiency and good environmental tolerance are highly desirable in practical applications.Both silicon carbide and carbon are considered as stable MAMs under some rigorous conditions,while their composites still fail to produce satisfactory microwave absorption performance regardless of the improvements as compared with the individuals.Herein,we have successfully implemented compositional and structural engineering to fabricate hollow Si C/C microspheres with controllable composition.The simultaneous modulation on dielectric properties and impedance matching can be easily achieved as the change in the composition of these composites.The formation of hollow structure not only favors lightweight feature,but also generates considerable contribution to microwave attenuation capacity.With the synergistic effect of composition and structure,the optimized SiC/C composite exhibits excellent performance,whose the strongest reflection loss intensity and broadest effective absorption reach-60.8 dB and 5.1 GHz,respectively,and its microwave absorption properties are actually superior to those of most SiC/C composites in previous studies.In addition,the stability tests of microwave absorption capacity after exposure to harsh conditions and Radar Cross Section simulation data demonstrate that hollow SiC/C microspheres from compositional and structural optimization have a bright prospect in practical applications.

文摘High-performance ion-conducting hydrogels(ICHs)are vital for developing flexible electronic devices.However,the robustness and ion-conducting behavior of ICHs deteriorate at extreme tempera-tures,hampering their use in soft electronics.To resolve these issues,a method involving freeze–thawing and ionizing radiation technology is reported herein for synthesizing a novel double-network(DN)ICH based on a poly(ionic liquid)/MXene/poly(vinyl alcohol)(PMP DN ICH)system.The well-designed ICH exhibits outstanding ionic conductivity(63.89 mS cm^(-1) at 25℃),excellent temperature resistance(-60–80℃),prolonged stability(30 d at ambient temperature),high oxidation resist-ance,remarkable antibacterial activity,decent mechanical performance,and adhesion.Additionally,the ICH performs effectively in a flexible wireless strain sensor,thermal sensor,all-solid-state supercapacitor,and single-electrode triboelectric nanogenerator,thereby highlighting its viability in constructing soft electronic devices.The highly integrated gel structure endows these flexible electronic devices with stable,reliable signal output performance.In particular,the all-solid-state supercapacitor containing the PMP DN ICH electrolyte exhibits a high areal specific capacitance of 253.38 mF cm^(-2)(current density,1 mA cm^(-2))and excellent environmental adaptability.This study paves the way for the design and fabrication of high-performance mul-tifunctional/flexible ICHs for wearable sensing,energy-storage,and energy-harvesting applications.
