We study the energy transportation of the central-spin quantum battery, which is composed of N_b spins serving as the battery cells, and surrounded by N_c spins serving as the charger cells. We apply the invariant subspace method to solve the dynamics of the central-spin battery with a large number of spins. We establish a universal inverse relationship between the battery capacity and the battery–charger entanglement, which persists in any size of the battery and charger cells. Moreover, we find that when N_b= N_c, the central-spin battery has the optimal energy transportation, corresponding to the minimal battery–charger entanglement. Surprisingly, the central-spin battery has a uniform energy transportation behaviors in certain battery–charger scales. Our results reveal a nonmonotonic relationship between the battery–charger size and the energy transportation efficiency, which may provide more insights on designing other types of quantum batteries.展开更多

We report a theoretical proposal to separate electronic and phononic contributions to thermal conductance at 2D interfaces with graphene, which is validated by non-equilibrium Green's function calculations and molecular dynamics simulations for graphene–gold contacts. Our results reveal that while metal–graphene interfaces are transparent for both electrons and phonons, non-covalent graphene interfaces block electronic tunneling beyond two layers but not phonon transport. This suggests that the Wiedemann–Franz law can be experimentally tested by measuring transport across interfaces with varying graphene layers.展开更多

To avoid complicated procedure in deriving the analytical expressions of the channel parameters and functions, the channel is realized first. By using the realized channel matrix, the channel properties are further investigated.展开更多

文摘Fullerene derivatives[6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester(PC_(61)BM)has been routinely used as the electron transport layer(ETL)in perovskite solar cells due to its suitable energy levels and good solution processability.However,its electron mobility and conductivity still need to be further enhanced for constructing high performance perovskite solar cells(PSCs).Herein,by doping the PC_(61)BM with a p-type polymer PM6 and n-type molecule ITIC,efficient wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells with improved efficiency and operational/storage stability are obtained.Further spectroscopy and electric measurements indicate PM6 and ITIC can both passivate defects at the perovskite/ETL interface,meanwhile ITIC can elevate the Fermi level of PC_(61)BM to enhance conductivity and PM6 can improve the photo-induced electron mobility of the ETL,facilitating charge extraction and reducing charge recombination.As the results,Cs_(0.17)FA_(0.83)Pb(I_(0.83)Br_(0.17))_(3)wide-bandgap PSCs with PM6:PC_(61)BM:ITIC as the ETL demonstrates a superior efficiency of 22.95%,compared to 20.89%of the PC_(61)BM assisted device.

文摘Carbon-based perovskite solar cells(C-PSCs)exhibit notable stability and durability.However,the power conversion efficiency(PCE)is significantly hindered by energy level mismatches,which result in interfacial charge transport barriers at the electrode-related interfaces.Herein,we report a back electrode that utilizes atomically dispersed metallic cobalt(Co)in carbon nanosheets(Co_1/CN)to adjust the interfacial energy levels.The electrons in the d-orbitals of Co atoms disrupt the electronic symmetry of the carbon nanosheets(CN),inducing a redistribution of the electronic density of states that leads to a downward shift in the Fermi level and a significantly reduced interfacial energy barrier.As a result,the C-PSCs using Co1/CN as back electrodes achieve a notable PCE of 22.61%with exceptional long-term stability,maintaining 94.4%of their initial efficiency after 1000 h of continuous illumination without encapsulation.This work provides a promising universal method to regulate the energy level of carbon electrodes for C-PSCs and paves the way for more efficient,stable,and scalable solar technologies toward commercialization.

文摘Electrical and thermal transport at two-dimensional(2D) interfaces is critical for semiconductor technology, yet their interplay remains unclear. We report a theoretical proposal to separate electronic and phononic contributions to thermal conductance at 2D interfaces with graphene, which is validated by non-equilibrium Green's function calculations and molecular dynamics simulations for graphene–gold contacts. Our results reveal that while metal–graphene interfaces are transparent for both electrons and phonons, non-covalent graphene interfaces block electronic tunneling beyond two layers but not phonon transport. This suggests that the Wiedemann–Franz law can be experimentally tested by measuring transport across interfaces with varying graphene layers.

文摘The transition of hydrogen sourcing from carbon-intensive to water-based methodologies is underway,with renewable energy-powered proton exchange membrane water electrolysis(PEMWE)emerging as the preeminent pathway for hydrogen production.Despite remarkable advancements in this field,confronting the sluggish electrochemical kinetics and inherent high-energy consumption arising from deteriorated mass transport within PEMWE systems remains a formidable obstacle.This impediment stems primarily from the hindered protons mass transfer and the untimely hydrogen bubbles detachment.To address these challenges,we harness the inherent variability of electrical energy and introduce an innovative pulsed dynamic water electrolysis system.Compared to constant voltage electrolysis(hydrogen production rate:51.6 m L h^(-1),energy consumption:5.37 kWh Nm-^(3)H_(2)),this strategy(hydrogen production rate:66 m L h^(-1),energy consumption:3.83 kWh Nm-^(3)H_(2))increases the hydrogen production rate by approximately 27%and reduces the energy consumption by about 28%.Furthermore,we demonstrate the practicality of this system by integrating it with an off-grid photovoltaic(PV)system designed for outdoor operation,successfully driving a hydrogen production current of up to 500 mA under an average voltage of approximately 2 V.The combined results of in-situ characterization and finite element analysis reveal the performance enhancement mechanism:pulsed dynamic electrolysis(PDE)dramatically accelerates the enrichment of protons at the electrode/solution interface and facilitates the release of bubbles on the electrode surface.As such,PDE-enhanced PEMWE represents a synergistic advancement,concurrently enhancing both the hydrogen generation reaction and associated transport processes.This promising technology not only redefines the landscape of electrolysis-based hydrogen production but also holds immense potential for broadening its application across a diverse spectrum of electrocatalytic endeavors.

文摘This paper proposed a new libration decoupling analytical speed function(LD-ASF)in lieu of the classic analytical speed function to control the climber's speed along a partial space elevator to improve libration stability in cargo transportation.The LD-ASF is further optimized for payload transportation efficiency by a novel coordinate game theory to balance competing control objectives among payload transport speed,stable end body's libration,and overall control input via model predictive control.The transfer period is divided into several sections to reduce computational burden.The validity and efficacy of the proposed LD-ASF and coordinate game-based model predictive control are demonstrated by computer simulation.Numerical results reveal that the optimized LD-ASF results in higher transportation speed,stable end body's libration,lower thrust fuel consumption,and more flexible optimization space than the classic analytical speed function.

文摘(Mg,Fe)SiO_(3) is primarily located in the mantle and has a substantial impact on geophysical and geochemical processes.Here,we employ molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the structural and transport properties of(Mg,Fe)SiO_(3) with varying iron contents at temperatures up to 5000 K and pressures up to 135 GPa.We thoroughly examine the effects of pressure,temperature,and iron content on the bond lengths,coordination numbers,viscosities,and electrical conductivities of(Mg,Fe)SiO_(3).Our calculations indicate that the increase of pressure leads to the shortening of the O-O and Mg-O bond lengths,while the Si-O bond lengths exhibit the initial increase with pressure up to 40 GPa,after which they are almost unchanged.The coordination numbers of Si transition from four-fold to six-fold and eventually reach eight-fold coordination at 135 GPa.The enhanced pressure causes the decrease of the diffusion coefficients and the increase of the viscosities of(Mg,Fe)SiO_(3).The increased temperatures slightly decrease the coordination numbers and viscosities,as well as obviously increase the diffusion coefficients and electrical conductivities of(Mg,Fe)SiO_(3).Additionally,iron doping facilitates the diffusion of Si and O,reduces the viscosities,and enhances the electrical conductivities of(Mg,Fe)SiO_(3).These findings advance fundamental understanding of the structural and transport properties of(Mg,Fe)SiO_(3) under high temperature and high pressure,which provide novel insights for unraveling the complexities of geological processes within the Earth's mantle.

文摘Low-cost Fe-based disordered rock salt(DRX)Li_(2)FeTiO_(4)is capable of providing high capacity(295 mA h g^(-1))by redox activity of cations(Fe^(2+)/Fe^(4+)and Ti^(3+)/Ti^(4+))and anionic oxygen.However,DRX structures lack transport channels for ions and electrons,resulting in sluggish kinetics,poor electrochemical activity,and cyclability.Herein,graphene conductive carbon network permeated Li_(2)FeTiO_(4)(LFT/C/G)nanofibers are successfully prepared by a facile sol-gel assisted electrospinning method.Ultrafine Li_(2)FeTiO_(4)nanoparticles(2 nm)and one-dimensional(1D)structure provide abu ndant active sites and unobstructed diffu sion channels,accelerating ion diffusion.In addition,introducing graphene reduces the band gap and Li^(+)diffusion barrier and improves the dynamic properties of Li_(2)FeTiO_(4),thus achieving a relatively mild interfacial reaction and reversible redox reaction.As expected,the LFT/C/1.0G cathode delivers a remarkable discharge capacity(238.5 mA h g^(-1)),high energy density(508.8 Wh kg^(-1)),and excellent rate capability(51.2 mA hg^(-1)at 1.0 A g^(-1)).Besides,the LFT/C/1.0G anode also displays a high capacity(514.5 mA h g^(-1)at 500 mA g^(-1))and a remarkable rate capability(243.9 mA h g^(-1)at 8 A g^(-1)).Moreover,the full batteries based on the LFT/C/1.0G symmetric electrode demonstrate a reversible capacity of 117.0 mA h g^(-1)after 100 cycles at 50 mA g^(-1).This study presents useful insights into developing cost-effective DRX cathodes with durable and fast lithium storage.

文摘This study presents novel findings on the potential of phloretin,an apple polyphenol,to enhance the effectiveness of anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor-2(HER2)antibody therapy in HER2-positive breast cancer patients.Our research reveals that phloretin inhibits typeⅡglucose transporter(GLUT2)activity,significantly reducing cancer cell glucose uptake.We confirmed the overexpression of GLUT1 and GLUT2 mRNA in paired human breast tumor tissues,with GLUT2 overexpression associated explicitly with poorer survival rates in breast cancer patients.Treatment with phloretin was observed to increase the interaction between GLUT2 and HER2 proteins,attenuate glycolysis,and enhance the binding affinity of anti-HER2 antibody drugs to target human breast cancer cells.Furthermore,the efficacy of the combination therapy involving phloretin and antibody drugs was reaffirmed in a cell-derived xenograft tumor animal model,particularly in suppressing the growth of trastuzumab-resistant HER2-positive(HER2+)breast cancer.These significant findings suggest that targeting GLUT2 activity with phloretin in combination with anti-HER2 antibody drugs may help mitigate the development of drug-resistant breast cancer,offering valuable insights for enhancing tumor treatment strategies and contributing to developing more effective therapies.

文摘In this paper, a three-dimensional(3D) geometry- based stochastic scattering model(GBSSM) for wideband multi-input multi-output(MIMO) vehicle-to-vehicle(V2V) relay-based cooperative fading channel based on geometrical three-cylinder is proposed. Non-line-of-sight(NLOS) propagation condition is assumed in amplify-and-forward(AF) cooperative networks from the source mobile station(S) to the destination mobile station(D) via the mobile relay station(R). We extend the proposed narrowband model to wideband and also introduce the carrier frequency and bandwidth into the model. To avoid complicated procedure in deriving the analytical expressions of the channel parameters and functions, the channel is realized first. By using the realized channel matrix, the channel properties are further investigated.

文摘With the depletion of fossil fuels and the demand for high-performance energy storage devices,solidstate lithium metal batteries have received widespread attention due to their high energy density and safety advantages.Among them,the earliest developed organic solid-state polymer electrolyte has a promising future due to its advantages such as good mechanical flexibility,but its poor ion transport performance dramatically limits its performance improvement.Therefore,single-ion conducting polymer electrolytes(SICPEs)with high lithium-ion transport number,capable of improving the concentration polarization and inhibiting the growth of lithium dendrites,have been proposed,which provide a new direction for the further development of high-performance organic polymer electrolytes.In view of this,lithium ions transport mechanisms and design principles in SICPEs are summarized and discussed in this paper.The modification principles currently used can be categorized into the following three types:enhancement of lithium salt anion-polymer interactions,weakening of lithium salt anion-cation interactions,and modulation of lithium ion-polymer interactions.In addition,the advances in single-ion conductors of conventional and novel polymer electrolytes are summarized,and several typical highperformance single-ion conductors are enumerated and analyzed in what way they improve ionic conductivity,lithium ions mobility,and the ability to inhibit lithium dendrites.Finally,the advantages and design methodology of SICPEs are summarized again and the future directions are outlined.

文摘The elliptic azimuthal anisotropy coefficient(v_(2))of the identified particles at midrapidity(|η|<0.8)was investigated in p-Pb collisions at√s_(NN)=5.02 TeV using a multi-phase transport model(AMPT).The calculations of differential v_(2)based on the advanced flow extraction method of light flavor hadrons(pions,kaons,protons,andΛ)in small collision systems were extended to a wider transverse momentum(p_(T))range of up to 8 GeV/c for the first time.The string-melting version of the AMPT model provides a good description of the measured p_(T)-differential v_(2)of the mesons but exhibits a slight deviation from the baryon v_(2).In addition,we observed the features of mass ordering at low p_(T)and the approximate number-of-constituentquark(NCQ)scaling at intermediate p_(T).Moreover,we demonstrate that hadronic rescattering does not have a significant impact on v_(2)in p-Pb collisions for different centrality selections,whereas partonic scattering dominates in generating the elliptic anisotropy of the final particles.This study provides further insight into the origin of collective-like behavior in small collision systems and has referential value for future measurements of azimuthal anisotropy.

文摘Reactive transport modeling(RTM)is an emerging method used to address geological issues in diagenesis research.However,the extrapolation of RTM results to practical reservoir prediction is not sufficiently understood.This paper presents a case study of the Eocene Qaidam Basin that combines RTM results with petrological and mineralogical evidence.The results show that the Eocene Xiaganchaigou Formation is characterized by mixed siliciclastic-carbonate-evaporite sedimentation in a semiclosed saline lacustrine environment.Periodic evaporation and salinization processes during the syngeneticpenecontemporaneous stage gave rise to the replacive genesis of dolomites and the cyclic enrichment of dolomite in the middle-upper parts of the meter-scale depositional sequences.The successive change in mineral paragenesis from terrigenous clastics to carbonates to evaporites was reconstructed using RTM simulations.Parametric uncertainty analyses further suggest that the evaporation intensity(brine salinity)and particle size of sediments(reactive surface area)were important rate-determining factors in the dolomitization,as shown by the relatively higher reaction rates under conditions of higher brine salinity and fine-grained sediments.Combining the simulation results with measured mineralogical and reservoir physical property data indicates that the preservation of original intergranular pores and the generation of porosity via replacive dolomitization were the major formation mechanisms of the distinctive lacustrine dolomite reservoirs(widespread submicron intercrystalline micropores)in the Eocene Qaidam Basin.The results confirm that RTM can be effectively used in geological studies,can provide a better general understanding of the dolomitizing fluid-rock interactions,and can shed light on the spatiotemporal evolution of mineralogy and porosity during dolomitization and the formation of lacustrine dolomite reservoirs.

文摘A three-dimensional reconstruction of rough fracture surfaces of hydraulically fractured rock outcrops is carried out by casting process,a large-scale experimental setup for visualizing rough fractures is built to perform proppant transport experiments.The typical characteristics of proppant transport and placement in rough fractures and its intrinsic mechanisms are investigated,and the influences of fracture inclination,fracture width and fracturing fluid viscosity on proppant transport and placement in rough fractures are analyzed.The results show that the rough fractures cause variations in the shape of the flow channel and the fluid flow pattern,resulting in the bridging buildup during proppant transport to form unfilled zone,the emergence of multiple complex flow patterns such as channeling,reverse flow and bypassing of sand-carrying fluid,and the influence on the stability of the sand dune.The proppant has a higher placement rate in inclined rough fractures,with a maximum increase of 22.16 percentage points in the experiments compared to vertical fractures,but exhibits poor stability of the sand dune.Reduced fracture width aggravates the bridging of proppant and induces higher pumping pressure.Increasing the viscosity of the fracturing fluid can weaken the proppant bridging phenomenon caused by the rough fractures.

文摘As the main link of ground engineering,crude oil gathering and transportation systems require huge energy consumption and complex structures.It is necessary to establish an energy efficiency evaluation system for crude oil gathering and transportation systems and identify the energy efficiency gaps.In this paper,the energy efficiency evaluation system of the crude oil gathering and transportation system in an oilfield in western China is established.Combined with the big data analysis method,the GA-BP neural network is used to establish the energy efficiency index prediction model for crude oil gathering and transportation systems.The comprehensive energy consumption,gas consumption,power consumption,energy utilization rate,heat utilization rate,and power utilization rate of crude oil gathering and transportation systems are predicted.Considering the efficiency and unit consumption index of the crude oil gathering and transportation system,the energy efficiency evaluation system of the crude oil gathering and transportation system is established based on a game theory combined weighting method and TOPSIS evaluation method,and the subjective weight is determined by the triangular fuzzy analytic hierarchy process.The entropy weight method determines the objective weight,and the combined weight of game theory combines subjectivity with objectivity to comprehensively evaluate the comprehensive energy efficiency of crude oil gathering and transportation systems and their subsystems.Finally,the weak links in energy utilization are identified,and energy conservation and consumption reduction are improved.The above research provides technical support for the green,efficient and intelligent development of crude oil gathering and transportation systems.
