Methods 7 085 patients were examined for tlgE and slgE to 15 allergens, based on the protocols of reversed enzyme allergosorbent test and the sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results 3 758 （53.04%） patients tested positive for tlgE, and 4 640 （65.49%） for slgE. Der pteronyssinus, Derfarinae, eggs, and cow＇s milk were the most common allergens leading to higher positive rates of slgE responses. Several peaks of sensitization were： Der pteronyssinus, Derfarinae, and Blomia tropicalis at age 10-12; cow＇s milk at age below 3; eggs at age 4-6. The mean level and positive rate of tlgE tended to increase in subjects sensitized to more allergens. Sensitization to Der pteronyssinus （OR, 1.6; P〈O.05）, Der farinae （OR, 1.5; P〈O.05）, Blomia tropicalis （OR, 1.4; P〈O.05）, Blattella germanica （OR, 1.5; P〈O.05）, cow＇s milk （OR, 1.3; P〈O.05）, and soy beans （OR, 2.0; P〈O.05） were independently correlated with allergy-related conditions in preliminary diagnosis. Conclusion The major allergens in Guangzhou include Derpteronyssinus, Derfarinae, cow＇s milk, and eggs. Sensitization to these allergens appears to be predictors of allergy-related disorder.展开更多

Accurate state-of-health(SOH) estimation is critical for ensuring battery operational performance. Despite numerous data-driven methods reported in existing research for battery SOH estimation, these methods often exhibit inconsistent performance across different application scenarios. To address this issue and overcome the performance limitations of individual data-driven models,integrating multiple models for SOH estimation has received considerable attention. Ensemble learning(EL) typically leverages the strengths of multiple base models to achieve more robust and accurate outputs. However, the lack of a clear review of current research hinders the further development of ensemble methods in SOH estimation. Therefore, this paper comprehensively reviews multi-model ensemble learning methods for battery SOH estimation. First, existing ensemble methods are systematically categorized into 6 classes based on their combination strategies. Different realizations and underlying connections are meticulously analyzed for each category of EL methods, highlighting distinctions, innovations, and typical applications. Subsequently, these ensemble methods are comprehensively compared in terms of base models, combination strategies, and publication trends. Evaluations across 6 dimensions underscore the outstanding performance of stacking-based ensemble methods. Following this, these ensemble methods are further inspected from the perspectives of weighted ensemble and diversity, aiming to inspire potential approaches for enhancing ensemble performance. Moreover, addressing challenges such as base model selection, measuring model robustness and uncertainty, and interpretability of ensemble models in practical applications is emphasized. Finally, future research prospects are outlined, specifically noting that deep learning ensemble is poised to advance ensemble methods for battery SOH estimation. The convergence of advanced machine learning with ensemble learning is anticipated to yield valuable avenues for research. Accelerated research in ensemble learning holds promising prospects for achieving more accurate and reliable battery SOH estimation under real-world conditions.展开更多

文摘To address the limitations of contemporary lithium-ion batteries,particularly their low energy density and safety concerns,all-solid-state lithium batteries equipped with solid-state electrolytes have been identified as an up-and-coming alternative.Among the various SEs,organic–inorganic composite solid electrolytes(OICSEs)that combine the advantages of both polymer and inorganic materials demonstrate promising potential for large-scale applications.However,OICSEs still face many challenges in practical applications,such as low ionic conductivity and poor interfacial stability,which severely limit their applications.This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent research advancements in OICSEs.Specifically,the influence of inorganic fillers on the main functional parameters of OICSEs,including ionic conductivity,Li+transfer number,mechanical strength,electrochemical stability,electronic conductivity,and thermal stability are systematically discussed.The lithium-ion conduction mechanism of OICSE is thoroughly analyzed and concluded from the microscopic perspective.Besides,the classic inorganic filler types,including both inert and active fillers,are categorized with special emphasis on the relationship between inorganic filler structure design and the electrochemical performance of OICSEs.Finally,the advanced characterization techniques relevant to OICSEs are summarized,and the challenges and perspectives on the future development of OICSEs are also highlighted for constructing superior ASSLBs.

文摘Solid-state electrolytes(SSEs),as the core component within the next generation of key energy storage technologies-solid-state lithium batteries(SSLBs)-are significantly leading the development of future energy storage systems.Among the numerous types of SSEs,inorganic oxide garnet-structured superionic conductors Li7La3Zr2O12(LLZO)crystallized with the cubic Iaˉ3d space group have received considerable attention owing to their highly advantageous intrinsic properties encompassing reasonable lithium-ion conductivity,wide electrochemical voltage window,high shear modulus,and excellent chemical stability with electrodes.However,no SSEs possess all the properties necessary for SSLBs,thus both the ionic conductivity at room temperature and stability in ambient air regarding cubic garnet-based electrolytes are still subject to further improvement.Hence,this review comprehensively covers the nine key structural factors affecting the ion conductivity of garnet-based electrolytes comprising Li concentration,Li vacancy concentration,Li carrier concentration and mobility,Li occupancy at available sites,lattice constant,triangle bottleneck size,oxygen vacancy defects,and Li-O bonding interactions.Furthermore,the general illustration of structures and fundamental features being crucial to chemical stability is examined,including Li concentration,Li-site occupation behavior,and Li-O bonding interactions.Insights into the composition-structure-property relations among cubic garnet-based oxide ionic conductors from the perspective of their crystal structures,revealing the potential compatibility conflicts between ionic transportation and chemical stability resulting from Li-O bonding interactions.We believe that this review will lay the foundation for future reasonable structural design of oxide-based or even other types of superionic conductors,thus assisting in promoting the rapid development of alternative green and sustainable technologies.

文摘Herein,a series of manganese oxide catalysts with different valences(Mn_(3)O_(4),Mn_(2)O_(3),and MnO_(2))were designed and synthesized for the synthesis of ethylene urea(EU)from ethylenediamine(EDA)and carbon dioxide(CO_(2)).With a maximal EDA conversion of 82%and EU selectivity of 99%at 160℃ for 2 h,Mn_(2)O_(3) catalysts had the best catalytic activity among them,which was superior to the reported catalysts.In the following order:Mn_(2)O_(3)>MnO_(2)>Mn_(3)O_(4),the catalytic activity for the synthesis of EU from CO_(2) and EDA decreased.Further characterization showed the Mn_(2)O_(3) catalyst possessed a greater Mn^(3+)/Mn4+ratio and more surface oxygen vacancies than the MnO_(2) and Mn_(3)O_(4),which improved its capacity to adsorb and activate CO_(2) and EDA.After four recycling runs,the EDA conversion slightly declined from 82%to 56%on Mn_(2)O_(3) catalyst,while no obvious change in EU selectivity was observed.The loss of surface Ov contents and Mn^(3+)proportion were concluded as main reasons for the decrease in catalytic activity over Mn_(2)O_(3) catalyst.This work demonstrated a metal oxide catalyst that was efficient in producing EU from CO_(2) and EDA.

文摘The burgeoning market for lithium-ion batteries has stimulated a growing need for more reliable battery performance monitoring. Accurate state-of-health(SOH) estimation is critical for ensuring battery operational performance. Despite numerous data-driven methods reported in existing research for battery SOH estimation, these methods often exhibit inconsistent performance across different application scenarios. To address this issue and overcome the performance limitations of individual data-driven models,integrating multiple models for SOH estimation has received considerable attention. Ensemble learning(EL) typically leverages the strengths of multiple base models to achieve more robust and accurate outputs. However, the lack of a clear review of current research hinders the further development of ensemble methods in SOH estimation. Therefore, this paper comprehensively reviews multi-model ensemble learning methods for battery SOH estimation. First, existing ensemble methods are systematically categorized into 6 classes based on their combination strategies. Different realizations and underlying connections are meticulously analyzed for each category of EL methods, highlighting distinctions, innovations, and typical applications. Subsequently, these ensemble methods are comprehensively compared in terms of base models, combination strategies, and publication trends. Evaluations across 6 dimensions underscore the outstanding performance of stacking-based ensemble methods. Following this, these ensemble methods are further inspected from the perspectives of weighted ensemble and diversity, aiming to inspire potential approaches for enhancing ensemble performance. Moreover, addressing challenges such as base model selection, measuring model robustness and uncertainty, and interpretability of ensemble models in practical applications is emphasized. Finally, future research prospects are outlined, specifically noting that deep learning ensemble is poised to advance ensemble methods for battery SOH estimation. The convergence of advanced machine learning with ensemble learning is anticipated to yield valuable avenues for research. Accelerated research in ensemble learning holds promising prospects for achieving more accurate and reliable battery SOH estimation under real-world conditions.
文摘Thermally activated delayed fluorescence(TADF)molecules have outstanding potential for applications in organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs).Due to the lack of systematic studies on the correlation between molecular structure and luminescence properties,TADF molecules are far from meeting the needs of practical applications in terms of variety and number.In this paper,three twisted TADF molecules are studied and their photophysical properties are theoretically predicted based on the thermal vibrational correlation function method combined with multiscale calculations.The results show that all the molecules exhibit fast reverse intersystem crossing(RISC)rates(kRISC),predicting their TADF luminescence properties.In addition,the binding of DHPAzSi as the donor unit with different acceptors can change the dihedral angle between the ground and excited states,and the planarity of the acceptors is positively correlated with the reorganization energy,a property that has a strong influence on the non-radiative process.Furthermore,a decrease in the energy of the molecular charge transfer state and an increase in the kRISC were observed in the films.This study not only provides a reliable explanation for the observed experimental results,but also offers valuable insights that can guide the design of future TADF molecules.

文摘Current research on heterogeneous advanced oxidation processes(HAOPs)predominantly emphasizes catalyst iteration and innovation.Significant efforts have been made to regulate the electron structure and optimize the electron distribution,thereby increasing the catalytic activity.However,this focus often overshadows an equally essential aspect of HAOPs:the adsorption effect.Adsorption is a critical initiator for triggering the interaction of oxidants and contaminants with heterogeneous catalysts.The efficacy of these interactions is influenced by a variety of physicochemical properties,including surface chemistry and pore sizes,which determine the affinities between contaminants and material surfaces.This dispar ity in affinity is pivotal because it underpins the selective removal of contaminants,especially in complex waste streams containing diverse contaminants and competing matrices.Consequently,understanding and mastering these interfacial interactions is fundamentally indispensable not only for improving pro cess efficiency but also for enhancing the selectivity of contaminant removal.Herein,we highlight the importance of adsorption-driven interfacial interactions for fundamentally elucidating the catalytic mechanisms of HAOPs.Such interactions dictate the overall performance of the treatment processes by balancing the adsorption,reaction,and desorption rates on the catalyst surfaces.Elucidating the adsorption effect not only shifts the paradigm in understanding HAOPs but also improves their practical ity in water treatment and wastewater decontamination.Overall,we propose that revisiting adsorption driven interfacial interactions holds great promise for optimizing catalytic processes to develop effective HAOP strategies.

文摘1.Introduction.Cold Spray(CS)is a highly advanced solid-state metal depo-sition process that was first developed in the 1980s.This innovative technique involves the high-speed(300-1200 m/s)impact deposition of micron-sized particles(5-50μm)to fabricate coatings[1-3].CS has been extensively used in a variety of coating applications,such as aerospace,automotive,energy,medical,marine,and others,to provide protection against high temperatures,corrosion,erosion,oxidation,and chemicals[4,5].Nowadays,the technical interest in CS is twofold:(i)as a repair process for damaged components,and(ii)as a solid-state additive manufacturing process.Compared to other fusion-based additive manufacturing(AM)technologies,Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing(CSAM)is a new member of the AM family that can enable the fabrication of deposits without undergoing melting.The chemical composition has been largely preserved from the powder to the deposit due to the minimal oxidation.The significant advantages of CSAM over other additive manufacturing processes include a high production rate,unlimited deposition size,high flexibility,and suitability for repairing damaged parts.

文摘Pursuing green,low-carbon ironmaking technology primarily aims to reduce fuel ratios,especially coke ratios.Simultaneously,the reduction in coke ratios causes the coke layer in the blast furnace(BF)to become thinner,deteriorating the gas and liquid permeability of the burden column.This exacerbates coke degradation,significantly impacting the smelting process and increasing the demand for high-quality coke.To investigate the existence state of coke in the hearth,a 2500 m3 BF in China was taken as the research object,and three sets of samples at different heights of the hearth were obtained during planned outage.The results indicate that coke undergoes a significant degradation upon reaching the hearth.The proportion of coke particles smaller than 50 mm ranges from 81.22%to 89.50%.The proportion of coke particles larger than 20 mm decreases as the distance from the centerline of the tuyere increases,while the proportion of particles smaller than 10 mm increases with this distance.Additionally,the closer the bottom of the furnace is,the smaller the coke particle size becomes.The composition of slag filling the coke pores is similar to that of the final slag in the blast furnace,and the graphitization of coke is comparable to that of the final slag.The graphitization of coke starts from the surface of coke and leads to the formation of coke fines,and the graphitization degree of−74μm coke fines is the highest.The temperature has an effect on the reaction rate of coke solution loss,and the higher the temperature is,the faster the reaction rate is.

文摘Ribonucleic acid(RNA)structures and dynamics play a crucial role in elucidating RNA functions and facilitating the design of drugs targeting RNA and RNA-protein complexes.However,obtaining RNA structures using conventional biophysical techniques,such as Xray crystallography and solution nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR),presents challenges due to the inherent flexibility and susceptibility to degradation of RNA.In recent years,solid-state NMR(SSNMR)has rapidly emerged as a promising alternative technique for characterizing RNA structure and dynamics.SSNMR has several distinct advantages,including flexibility in sample states,the ability to capture dynamic features of RNA in solid form,and suitability to character RNAs in various sizes.Recent decade witnessed the growth of ^(1)H-detected SSNMR methods on RNA,which targeted elucidating RNA topology and base pair dynamics in solid state.They have been applied to determine the topology of RNA segment in human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)genome and the base pair dynamics of riboswitch RNA.These advancements have expanded the utility of SSNMR techniques within the RNA research field.This review provides a comprehensive discussion of recent progress in ^(1)H-detected SSNMR investigations into RNA structure and dynamics.We focus on the established ^(1)H-detected SSNMR methods,sample preparation protocols,and the implementation of rapid data acquisition approaches.
