Crop productivity obtained under these conditions varies significantly from one farmer to another, making it challenging to accurately estimate crop production through crop models. This limitation has implications for the reliability of using crop models as agricultural decision-making support tools. To support decision making in agriculture, an approach combining a genetic algorithm (GA) with the crop model AquaCrop is proposed for a location-specific calibration of maize cropping. In this approach, AquaCrop is used to simulate maize crop yield while the GA is used to derive optimal parameters set at grid cell resolution from various combinations of cultivar parameters and crop management in the process of crop and management options calibration. Statistics on pairwise simulated and observed yields indicate that the coefficient of determination varies from 0.20 to 0.65, with a yield deviation ranging from 8% to 36% across Burkina Faso (BF). An analysis of the optimal parameter sets shows that regardless of the climatic zone, a base temperature of 10˚C and an upper temperature of 32˚C is observed in at least 50% of grid cells. The growing season length and the harvest index vary significantly across BF, with the highest values found in the Soudanian zone and the lowest values in the Sahelian zone. Regarding management strategies, the fertility mean rate is approximately 35%, 39%, and 49% for the Sahelian, Soudano-sahelian, and Soudanian zones, respectively. The mean weed cover is around 36%, with the Sahelian and Soudano-sahelian zones showing the highest variability. The proposed approach can be an alternative to the conventional one-size-fits-all approach commonly used for regional crop modeling. Moreover, it has the potential to explore the performance of cropping strategies to adapt to changing climate conditions.展开更多

文摘Rechargeable aqueous zinc-metal batteries (AZMBs) are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage systems due to their low cost and high safety.However,their performance and sustainability are significantly hindered by the sluggish desolvation kinetics at the electrode/electrolyte interface and the corresponding hydrogen evolution reaction where active water molecules tightly participate in the Zn(H_(2)O)_(6)^(2+)solvation shell.Herein,learnt from self-generated solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) in anodes,the dielectric but ion-conductive zinc niobate nanoparticles artificial layer is constructed on metallic Zn surface (ZNB@Zn),acting as a rapid desolvation promotor.The zincophilic and dielectric-conductive properties of ZNB layer accelerate interfacial desolvation/diffusion and suppress surface corrosion or dendrite formation,achieving uniform Zn plating/stripping behavior,as confirmed by electronic/optical microscopies and interface spectroscopical measurements together with theoretical calculations.Consequently,the as-prepared ZNB@Zn electrode exhibits excellent cycling stability of over 2000 h and robust reversibility (99.54%) even under high current density and depth of discharge conditions.Meanwhile,the assembled ZNB@Zn-based full cell displays high capacity-retention rate of 80.21%after 3000 cycles at 5 A g^(-1)and outstanding rate performance up to 10 A g^(-1).The large-areal pouch cell is stabilized for hundreds of cycles,highlighting the bright prospects of the dielectric but ion-conductive layer in further application of AZMBs.

文摘Solid oxide fuel cells(SOFCs)are widely presented as a sustainable solution to future energy challenges.Nevertheless,solid oxide fuel cells presently rely on significant use of several critical raw materials to enable optimized electrode reaction kinetics.This challenge can be addressed by using thinfilm electrode materials;however,this is typically accompanied by complex device fabrication procedures as well as poor mechanical/chemical stability.In this work,we conduct a systematic study of a range of promising thin-film electrode materials based on vertically aligned nanocomposite(VAN)thin films.We demonstrate low area specific resistance(ASR)values of 0.44 cm^(2) at 650℃ can be achieved using(La_(0.60)Sr_(0.40))_(0.95)Co_(0.20)Fe_(0.80)O_(3)-(Sm_(2)O_(3))_(0.20)(CeO_(2))_(0.80)(LSCF-SDC)thin films,which are also characterized by a low degradation rate,approximately half that of planar LSCF thin films.We then integrate these(La_(0.60)Sr_(0.40))_(0.95)Co_(0.20)Fe_(0.80)O_(3)-(Sm_(2)O_(3))_(0.20)(CeO_(2))_(0.80) vertically aligned nanocomposite films directly with commercial anode supported half cells through a single-step deposition process.The resulting cells exhibit peak power density of 0.47W cm^(-2) at 750℃,competitive with 0.64W cm^(-2) achieved for the same cells operating with a bulk(La_(0.60)Sr_(0.40))_(0.95)Co_(0.20)Fe_(0.80)O_(3) cathode,despite 99.5% reduction in cathode critical raw material use.By demonstrating such competitive performance using thin-film cathode functional layers,this work also paves the way for further cost reductions in solid oxide fuel cells,which could be achieved by likewise applying thin-film architectures to the anode functional layer and/or current collecting layers,which typically account for the greatest materials cost in solid oxide fuel cell stacks.Therefore,the present work marks a valuable step towards the sustainable proliferation of solid oxide fuel cells.

文摘Aqueous zinc-metal based batteries(AZMBs)perfectly combine safety,economy and pro-environment,but their performance is arresting limited by the interfacial instability caused by the large desolvation energy barrier of[Zn(H2O)6]^(2+)and the massive release of active water at the electrolyte/electrode interface.In this review,we briefly outline the solvation structure of zinc ions and the necessity of desolvation.Subsequently,the variety of strategies to solve these issues,mainly including reorganizing solvation sheath by changing electrolyte environment and accelerating interface desolvation by constructing artificial interfacial layer,are categorically discussed and systematically summarized.Meanwhile,perspectives and suggestions regarding desolvation theories,interfacial evolution,material design and analysis techniques are proposed to design highly stable zinc anodes.
