This study investigated the effects of phase boundary engineering and domain engineering on (1-x)[0.8Pb(Zr_(0.5)Ti_(0.5))O_(3)-0.2Pb(Zn_(1/3)Nb_(2/3))O_(3)]-xBi(Zn_(0.5)Ti_(0.5))O_(3) ((1-x)(0.8PZT-0.2PZN)- xBZT) ceramic to obtain excellent piezoelectric properties. The crystal phase structure and microstructure of ceramic samples were characterized. The results showed that all samples had a pure perovskite structure, and the addition of BZT gradually increased the grain size. The addition of BZT caused a phase transition in ceramic samples from the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) towards the tetragonal phase region, which is crucial for optimizing piezoelectric properties. By adjusting content of BZT and precisely controlling position of the phase boundary, the piezoelectric performance can be optimized. Domain structure is one of the key factors affecting piezoelectric performance. By using domain engineering techniques to optimize grain size and domain size, piezoelectric properties of ceramic samples have been significantly improved. Specifically, excellent piezoelectric properties (piezoelectric constant d_(33)=320 pC/N, electromechanical coupling factor kp=0.44) were obtained simultaneously for x=0.08. Based on experimental results and theoretical analysis, influence mechanisms of phase boundary engineering and domain engineering on piezoelectric properties were explored. The study shows that addition of BZT not only promotes grain growth, but also optimizes the domain structure, enabling the polarization reversal process easier, thereby improving piezoelectric properties. These research results not only provide new ideas for the design of high-performance piezoelectric ceramics, but also lay a theoretical foundation for development of related electronic devices.展开更多

The optimum dimensions of the mould were obtained. It is found that the stress distribution is very uneven, and the stress convergence is rather severe in the bridge of the aluminum profile extrusion mould. The optimum height of the mould is 70.527 mm, and the optimum radius of dividing holes are 70.182 mm and 80.663 mm. Increasing the height of the mould in the range of 61.282 mm to 70.422 mm can prolong its longevity, but when the height is over 70.422 mm, its longevity reduces.展开更多

It was assumed that the stress wave propagation velocities from a micro-seismic source to three nearest monitoring sensors in a sensor's array arrangement were the same. Since the defined objective function does not require pre-measurement of the stress wave propagation velocity in the field, errors from the velocity measurement can be avoided in comparison to three traditional velocity models. By analyzing 24 different cases, the proposed multidirectional velocity model iterated by the Simplex method is found to be the best option no matter the source is within the region of the sensor's array or not. The proposed model and the adopted iterative algorithm are verified by field data and it is concluded that it can significantly reduce the error of the estimated source location.展开更多

文摘Traditional polymeric photocatalysts are typically constructed using aromatic building blocks to enhanceπ-conjugation.However,their inherent hydrophobicity and rigid structure lead to poor dispersibility in aqueous solutions,resulting in significant optical losses and exciton recombination.In this study,two series of six novel polymer photocatalysts(FLUSO,FLUSO-PEG10,FLUSO-PEG30;CPDTSO,CPDTSO-PEG10,CPDTSO-PEG30)are designed and synthesized by incorporating the hydrophilic,non-conjugated polyethylene glycol(PEG)chain,into both the main and side chains of polymers.By precisely optimizing the ratio of hydrophilic PEG segments,the water dispersibility is significantly improved while the light absorption capability of the polymer photocatalysts is well maintained.The experimental results confirm that the optimized FLUSO-PEG10 exhibits excellent photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate,reaching up to 33.9 mmol/(g·h),which is nearly three times higher than that of fullyπ-conjugated counterparts.Water contact angles and particle size analyses reveal that incorporating non-conjugated segments into the main chains enhances the capacitance of the polymer/water interface and reduces particle aggregation,leading to improved photocatalyst dispersion and enhanced charge generation.

文摘Powder engine as a novel type of engine using high-energy metal powder as fuel and gas,liquid,or solid as oxidizer.These engines exhibit remarkable adaptability,flexible thrust regulation,and multi-pulse start-stop,which have significant application potentials in the fields of near-Earth space development,space propulsion systems,and deep-sea exploration.The scope of this review encompasses the classification and application of powder engines,the classification of powdered fuel supply systems,and the prospective trajectories and pivotal challenges of powder engines and fuel supply technologies.This work points out that although certain ground-based experimental challenges on powder engines have been solved,the relative technology remains in the nascent stages of feasibility demonstration and testing.The pneumatic and motor-driven piston methods currently dominate as the primary means for supplying fuel,and the structure of the piston and intake should be further optimized in the future to promote fuel fluidization and delivery efficiency.The adaptability of powder engines and powdered fuels under different pre-treatment and loading methods should be evaluated.Furthermore,the stability of powdered fuel delivery across varying operational environments,the accuracy of CFD modeling,and the precision of mass flow rate measurement and prediction technologies necessitate further enhancement and refinement.These advancements are crucial for the maturation of powder engine technology and its integration into practical applications.

文摘Solid-state lithium batteries have become a research hotspot in the field of large-scale energy storage due to their excellent safety performance.The development of high-voltage positive electrode materials matched with lithium metal anode have advanced the energy density of solid-state lithium batteries close to or even exceeding that of lithium batteries based on a liquid electrolyte,which is expected to be commercialized in the future.However,in high voltage conditions(>4.3 V),the decomposition of electrolyte components,structural degradation,and interface side reactions significantly reduce battery performance and hinder its further development.This review summarizes the latest research progress of inorganic electrolytes,polymer electrolytes,and composite electrolytes in high-voltage solid-state lithium batteries.At the same time,the designs of high-voltage polymer gel electrolyte and high-voltage quasi solid-state electrolyte are introduced in detail.In addition,interface engineering is crucial for improving the overall performance of high-voltage solid-state batteries.Finally,we highlight the challenges faced by high-voltage solid-state lithium batteries and put forward our own views on future research directions.This review offers instructive insights into the advancement of high-voltage solid-state lithium batteries for large-scale energy storage applications.

文摘Interface engineering is widely employed to enhance the performance of formamidinium lead triiodide(FAPbI_(3))perovskite solar cells.In this study,six different FAPbI_(3)/PbX(X=S,Se and Te)heterostructures are constructed,including the PbI interface and I interface perovskite.In addition,the lead vacancies(V-Pb)and iodine vacancies(V-I)are designed at the perovskite interface.The results show that the PbI interface is more stable than I interface in the heterostructures.The PbX covering layer on the surface of the FAPbI_(3) perovskite stabilizes the perovskite octahedral structure by interface interactions and charge reconstruction that are beneficial to passivate perovskite interface defects and inhibit the phase transition.It shows that the PbTe covering layer exhibits the best passivation effect for lead vacancy defects,while PbS covering layer shows the best passivation effect for iodine vacancy defects.Additionally,appropriate structural stress can strengthen the thermal stability of defective perovskite.This work reveals the FAPbI_(3)/PbX interface engineering,and offers new insights into effectively passivating defects and improving the stability of FAPbI_(3).

文摘In the last decade,space solar power satellites(SSPSs)have been conceived to support net-zero carbon emissions and have attracted considerable attention.Electric energy is transmitted to the ground via a microwave power beam,a technology known as microwave power transmission(MPT).Due to the vast transmission distance of tens of thousands of kilometers,the power transmitting antenna array must span up to 1 kilometer in diameter.At the same time,the size of the rectifying array on the ground should extend over a few kilometers.This makes the MPT system of SSPSs significantly larger than the existing aerospace engineering system.To design and operate a rational MPT system,comprehensive optimization is required.Taking the space MPT system engineering into consideration,a novel multi-objective optimization function is proposed and further analyzed.The multi-objective optimization problem is modeled mathematically.Beam collection efficiency(BCE)is the primary factor,followed by the thermal management capability.Some tapers,designed to solve the conflict between BCE and the thermal problem,are reviewed.In addition to these two factors,rectenna design complexity is included as a functional factor in the optimization objective.Weight coefficients are assigned to these factors to prioritize them.Radiating planar arrays with different aperture illumination fields are studied,and their performances are compared using the multi-objective optimization function.Transmitting array size,rectifying array size,transmission distance,and transmitted power remaine constant in various cases,ensuring fair comparisons.The analysis results show that the proposed optimization function is effective in optimizing and selecting the MPT system architecture.It is also noted that the multi-objective optimization function can be expanded to include other factors in the future.
