文摘Ultrathin Li-rich Li-Cu binary alloy has become a competitive anode material for Li metal batteries of high energy density.However,due to the poor-lithiophilicity of the single skeleton structure of Li-Cu alloy,it has limitations in inducing Li nucleation and improving electrochemical performance.Hence,we introduced Ag species to Li-Cu alloy to form a 30μm thick Li-rich Li-Cu-Ag ternary alloy(LCA)anode,with Li-Ag infinite solid solution as the active phase,and Cu-based finite solid solutions as three-dimensional(3D)skeleton.Such nano-wire networks with LiCu4 and CuxAgy finite solid solution phases were prepared through a facile melt coating technique,where Ag element can act as lithiophilic specie to enhance the lithiophilicity of built-in skeleton,and regulate the deposition behavior of Li effectively.Notably,the formation of CuxAgy solid solution can strengthen the structural stability of the skeleton,ensuring the geometrical integrity of Li anode,even at the fully delithiated state.Meanwhile,the Li-Ag infinite solid solution phase can promote the Li plating/stripping reversibility of the LCA anode with an improved coulombic efficiency(CE).The synergistic effect between infinite and finite solid solutions could render an enhanced electrochemical performance of Li metal batteries.The LCA|LCA symmetric cells showed a long lifespan of over 600 h with stable polarization voltage of 40 mV,in 1 mA·cm^(-2)/1 mAh·cm^(-2).In addition,the full cells matching our ultrathin LCA anode with 17.2 mg·cm^(-2)mass loading of LiFePO_(4) cathode,can continuously operate beyond 110 cycles at 0.5C,with a high capacity retention of 91.5%.Kindly check and confirm the edit made in the article title.

文摘Rechargeable aqueous Zn-ion batteries(AZIBs)are one of the most promising energy storage devices for large-scale energy storage owing to their high specific capacity,eco-friendliness,low cost and high safety.Nevertheless,zinc metal anodes suffer from severe dendrite growth and side reactions,resulting in the inferior electrochemical performance of AZIBs.To address these problems,surface modification of zinc metal anodes is a facile and effective method to regulate the interaction between the zinc anode and an electrolyte.In this review,the current challenges and strategies for zinc metal anodes are presented.Furthermore,recent advances in surface modification strategies to improve their electrochemical performance are concluded and discussed.Finally,challenges and prospects for future development of zinc metal anodes are proposed.We hope this review will be useful for designing and fabricating highperformance AZIBs and boosting their practical applications.

文摘In this work,a Bi_(2)O_(2.33)–CdS direct Z-scheme heterojunction was fabricated based on energy band engineering.The Bi_(2)O_(2.33)core nanoflakes were first synthesized by electrodeposition which was followed by an annealing process to fabricate this heterojunction.Then the Cd S shell was deposited on Bi_(2)O_(2.33)nanoflakes utilizing the solution method,during which a suitable concentration of Cd Clsolution was used for forming a homogeneous and continuous integrated CdS shell.A space charge region and an internal electric field from CdS(+)to Bi_(2)O_(2.33)(-),which drove a direct Z-scheme charge transfer process,were formed at the interface.The Bi_(2)O_(2.33)–CdS exhibited excellent photocatalytic performance for CO_(2)reduction mainly attributed to the satisfactory photoinduced charge separation and transport efficiency in the direct Z-scheme heterojunction.The photocatalytic CO_(2)reduction ability of Bi_(2)O_(2.33)–CdS was significantly enhanced compared with single Bi_(2)O_(2.33)or Cd S,with a CO_(2)yield rate of ca.2.9μmol/(cm^(2)h)under a 300 W Xe lamp.The reduction of CO_(2)to CO_(2)demonstrated 94.0%selectivity.

文摘The hot deformation behavior of Pt−10Ir alloy was studied under a wide range of deformation parameters.At a low deformation temperature(950−1150℃),the softening mechanism is primarily dynamic recovery.In addition,dynamic recrystallization by progressive lattice rotation near grain boundaries(DRX by LRGBs)and microshear bands assisted dynamic recrystallization(MSBs assisted DRX)coordinate the deformation.However,it is difficult for the dynamic softening to offset the stain hardening due to a limited amount of DRXed grains.At a high deformation temperature(1250−1350℃),three main DRX mechanisms associated with strain rates occur:DRX by LRGBs,DRX by a homogeneous increase in misorientation(HIM)and geometric DRX(GDRX).With increasing strain,DRX by LRGBs is enhanced gradually under high strain rates;the“pinch-off”effect is enhanced at low strain rates,which was conducive to the formation of a uniform and fine microstructure.

文摘Regulation the electronic density of solid-state electrolyte by donor–acceptor(D–A)system can achieve highly-selective Li^(+)transportation and conduction in solid-state Li metal batteries.This study reports a high-performance solid-state electrolyte thorough D–A-linked covalent organic frameworks(COFs)based on intramolecular charge transfer interactions.Unlike other reported COFbased solid-state electrolyte,the developed concept with D–A-linked COFs not only achieves electronic modulation to promote highly-selective Li^(+)migration and inhibit Li dendrite,but also offers a crucial opportunity to understand the role of electronic density in solid-state Li metal batteries.The introduced strong electronegativity F-based ligand in COF electrolyte results in highlyselective Li^(+)(transference number 0.83),high ionic conductivity(6.7×10^(-4)S cm^(−1)),excellent cyclic ability(1000 h)in Li metal symmetric cell and high-capacity retention in Li/LiFePO_(4)cell(90.8%for 300 cycles at 5C)than substituted C-and N-based ligands.This is ascribed to outstanding D–A interaction between donor porphyrin and acceptor F atoms,which effectively expedites electron transferring from porphyrin to F-based ligand and enhances Li^(+)kinetics.Consequently,we anticipate that this work creates insight into the strategy for accelerating Li^(+)conduction in high-performance solid-state Li metal batteries through D–A system.

文摘A low rare-earth containing ZEK100-O magnesium alloy was welded to AA1230-clad high-strength AA2024-T3 aluminum alloy via solidstate ultrasonic spot welding(USW)to evaluate the microstructure,tensile lap shear strength,and fatigue properties.The tensile strength increased with increasing welding energy,peaked at a welding energy of 1000 J,and then decreased due to the formation of an increasingly thick diffusion layer mainly containing Al12Mg17intermetallic compound at higher energy levels.The peak tensile lap shear strength attained at 1000 J was attributed to the optimal inter-diffusion between the magnesium alloy and softer AA1230-clad Al layer along with the presence of‘fishhook'-like mechanical interlocks at the weld interface and the formation of an indistinguishable intermetallic layer.The dissimilar joints welded at 1000 J also exhibited a longer fatigue life than other Mg-Al dissimilar joints,suggesting the beneficial role of the softer clad layer with a better intermingling capacity during USW.While the transverse-through-thickness(TTT)failure mode prevailed at lower cyclic loading levels,interfacial failure was the predominant mode of fatigue failure at higher cyclic loads,where distinctive fatigue striations were also observed on the fracture surface of the softer clad Al layer.This was associated with the presence of opening stress and bending moment near the nugget edge despite the tension-tension lap shear cyclic loading applied.

文摘SnO_(2)has been extensively used in the detection of various gases.As a gas sensing material,SnO_(2)has excellent physical-chemical properties,high reliability,and short adsorption-desorption time.The application of the traditional SnO_(2)gas sensor is limited due to its higher work-temperature,low gas response,and poor selectivity.Nanomaterials can significantly impact gas-sensitive properties due to the quantum size,surface,and small size effects of nanomaterials.By applying nanotechnology to the preparation of SnO_(2),the SnO_(2)nanomaterial-based sensors could show better performance,which greatly expands the application of SnO_(2)gas sensors.In this review,the preparation method of the SnO_(2)nanostructure,the types of gas detected,and the improvements of SnO_(2)gas-sensing performances via elemental modification are introduced as well as the future development of SnO_(2)is discussed.

文摘The crystalline and amorphous regions were alternately arranged in the hard elastic polypropylene(PP)films with row-nucleated lamellae.In this work,their structure evolution during stretching and recovery at room temperature was followed and the elastic recovery mechanism was discussed by twice cyclic tensile experiment.During the first stretching to 100%,the lamellae crystals are parallel separated and the intercrystallite crazing is formed at the first yield point.Many nano-cavities within the intercrystallite crazing appear when the strain reaches 20%.The strain-hardening process accompanies with the lamellae long period increasing and the intercrystallite crazing enlargement.After the secondary yield point,the lamellae cluster is further separated and more nano-cavities appear.The first and second recovery processes are complete overlap.During recovery,firstly,the energy elasticity provided by nano-cavities surface tension drives the shrinkage of material,and then the entropy elasticity related to amorphous chain relaxation plays a leading role when the strain is smaller than the secondary yield point.The elastic recovery process of hard elastic material is the co-contribution of energy elasticity and entropy elasticity.This work gives a clearer recognition about the source of hard elastic property and the role of amorphous region in material's deformation.

文摘Fluorinated carbons CF_xhold the highest theoretical energy density(e.g.,2180 W h kg^(-1)when x=1)among all cathode materials of lithium primary batteries.However,the low conductivity and severe polarization limit it to achieve its theory.In this study,we design a new electrolyte,namely 1 M LiBF_(4)DMSO:DOL(1:9 vol.),achieving a high energy density in Li/CF_xprimary cells.The DMSO with a small molecular size and high donor number successfully solvates Li^(+)into a defined Li^(+)-solvation structure.Such solvated Li^(+)can intercalate into the large-spacing carbon layers and achieve an improved capacity.Consequently,when discharged to 1.0 V,the CF_(1.12)cathode demonstrates a specific capacity of 1944 m A h g^(-1)with a specific energy density of 3793 W h kg^(-1).This strategy demonstrates that designing the electrolyte is powerful in improving the electrochemical performance of CF_(x) cathode.

文摘Microencapsulation of phase change materials(MPCM)is an effective way to achieve solar energy management.However,the crystallization of phase change materials(PCMs)in microcapsules will produce supercooling,which will affect the energy storage efficiency of MPCM.The incorporation of TiO_(2)nanoparticles into MPCM can alleviate supercooling.In this work,octadecyltrimethoxysilane(ODTMS)was used to modify the solid nucleating agent TiO_(2)(m-TiO_(2))to improve its compatibility with n-Octadecane.Then,MPCM based on m-TiO_(2)nucleating agent,melamine-formaldehyde resin(MF)shell material,and n-Octadecane core material was prepared.Differential scanning calorimetry(DSC)results demonstrate that the supercooling degree(ΔT)of MPCM(MPCM-02)decreases to 0℃with a tiny level of 0.25 wt%m-TiO_(2),while the MPCM with unmodified TiO_(2)is 6.1℃and the MPCM without nucleating agent is 4.1℃.Besides,the phase change enthalpy(ΔHm)and encapsulation efficiency(E)of MPCM-02 remain at 183.7 J/g and 95.3%,respectively.Finally,phase change composite materials with photothermal conversion capabilities were constructed by MXenes,MPCM,and polyurethane acrylate(PUA).When 1 wt%MXenes and 30 wt%MPCM were incorporated into PUA matrix,the thermal conductivity and surface temperature after 1200s of infrared light irradiation were 48.8%and 8.2℃higher than pure PUA matrix.These results demonstrate the good solar energy storage capabilities of the MPCM,which possesses promising application potential in the field of solar energy thermal management and human thermal regulation.

文摘A blue-red dual-emitting phosphor,Na_(3)KMg_(7)(PO_(4))_(6):Eu^(2+),Mn^(2+)was developed in this study.Eu^(2+)acts as a sensitizer ion in Na_(3)KMg_(7)(PO_(4))_(6):Mn^(2+),which significantly improves the undesirable luminous efficiency of Mn^(2+).The energy transfer between Eu^(2+)and Mn^(2+)significantly boosts both internal quantum efficiency(IQE)and external quantum efficiency(EQE)of the phosphor,achieving values of 72.5%and 42.6%,respectively.Additionally,the phosphor demonstrates exceptional thermal stability,at150℃.maintaining 71.49%of its initial emission intensity.The emission spectrum of the phosphor closely matches the chlorophyll's absorption spectra,with similarities of 75.06%and 94.52%,respectively.This was further confirmed through a fabricated LED with a n-UV chip(395 nm).To further assess the potential for agritech applications,a light-conversion film incorporating the developed phosphor in PDMS glue was prepared.An outdoor cultivation trial with Chlorella showed that the algae's growth rate improves by 27.3%relative to a control group.These results reveal the significant potential of the Na_(3)KMg_(7)(PO_(4))_(6):Eu^(2+),Mn^(2+)phosphor for enhancing plant growth in practical applications.

文摘The effects of Zr addition on the mechanical properties and in vitro degradation behavior of Mg-1.0Yb-xZr(x=0,0.2,1.0,and 1.53,wt.%)cast alloys were investigated.The results indicated that with increasing Zr addition,a much refined and homogeneous equiaxed grain structure was achieved from a typical columnar grain structure,in companion with the appearance and coarsening of Zr-rich particles.Subsequent electrochemical and immersion tests demonstrated that the corrosion of the alloy was Zr-addition dependent.A trace or excessive Zr addition caused severe localized corrosion attacks,whereas Zr-free and 1.0 Zr alloyed counterparts were generally corroded uniformly.The good combination of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the Mg-1.0Yb-1.0Zr alloy was resulted from the refined and homogeneous equiaxed grain structure and fine dispersed Zr-rich particles,thus improving the comprehensive mechanical properties by grain refinement and reducing corrosion rate by generating a more stable and compact passivation layer during long-term immersion.

文摘The melting and solidification process of DZ411 superalloy at different cooling rates(50,200,500°C/min)was observed in situ by high-temperature confocal laser scanning microscopy.The solidification behaviour of this alloy was also studied through other methods such as differential scanning calorimetry and scanning electron microscopy.The results show that the precipitation sequence of the main phases during the solidification of DZ411 alloy isγmatrix phase,carbide phase and Laves phase.Besides,during the solidification process of DZ411 alloy,both the dendrite thickness and dendrite spacing decreased with the increasing of cooling rate.In addition,a large amount of Ta is enriched in the dendrite stems at the end of solidification,which is the main reason for the formation of Laves phase.As the cooling rate increases,the size of the Laves phase becomes smaller and the distribution becomes more dispersed,which effectively inhibits the segregation of the alloy.

文摘In this context,the present study proposes the use of microwave irradiation to improve the dehydration rate and efficiency of strontium hydroxide octahydrate(Sr(OH)_(2)·8H_(2)O)without introducing contaminants.This study revealed that the use of microwave irradiation to dehydrate Sr(OH)_(2)·8H_(2)O is feasible and surprisingly efficient.The effects of this approach on important parameters were investigated using response surface methodology(RSM).The results revealed that the microwave dehydration process follows a linear polynomial model.In addition,compared with the heating time and material thickness,the microwave-assisted dehydration of Sr(OH)_(2)·8H_(2)O is sensitive to the microwave power and not to the material mass.The relative dehydration percentage reached 99.99%when heated in a microwave oven at 950Wfor just 3 min.In contrast,a relative dehydration percentage of 94.6%was reached when heated in an electric furnace at 180℃for 120 min.The XRD spectra also revealed that most of the Sr(OH)_(2)·8H_(2)O transformed into Sr(OH)_(2)after dehydration via microwave irradiation,whereas a significant portion of the Sr(OH)_(2)·H_(2)O remained after conventional electric dehydration.The experimental data were fitted and analyzed via the thin-layer drying dynamics model,and the results indicated that the dehydrating behavior of Sr(OH)_(2)·8H_(2)O could be well described by the Page model.
文摘Solar-driven water splitting has emerged as a promising route for sustainable hydrogen generation,however,developing broad-spectrum responsive photocatalysts remains a challenge for achieving efficient solar-to-hydrogen conversion.Here,we demonstrate a g-C_(3)N_(4)-based(UCN)catalyst with dispersed Ag single atoms(Ag SAs)and Ag nanoparticles(Ag NPs)for synergistically broad-spectrum photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.Experimental and theoretical results reveal that both Ag SAs and Ag NPs serve as active sites,with the Schottky junction between Ag NPs and g-C_(3)N_(4)effectively promoting charge separation,while Ag NPs induce localized surface plasmon resonance,extending the light response range from visible to near-infrared regions.The optimized catalyst Ag-UCN-3 exhibits a hydrogen evolution rate as high as 22.11 mmol/g/h and an apparent quantum efficiency(AQE)of 10.16%under 420 nm light illumination.Notably,it still had a high hydrogen evolution rate of 633.57μmol/g/h under 700 nm irradiation.This work unveils dual active sites engineering strategy that couples Ag SAs and Ag NPs with plasma and hot electrons,offering a new strategy for designing high-performance solar-driven energy systems.
