Our investigation revealed that the isosteric heat of adsorption of methane in slit-like chlorite nanopores decreased with an increase in pore size and was less than 42 kJ/mol, suggesting that methane adsorbed on chlorite through physical adsorption. The methane excess adsorp- tion capacity increased with the increase in the pore size in micropores and decreased with the increase in the pore size in mesopores. The methane excess adsorption capacity in chlorite pores increased with an increase in pressure or decrease in pore size. With an increase in temperature, the isosteric heats of adsorption of methane decreased and the methane adsorption sites on chlorite changed from lower- energy adsorption sites to higher-energy sites, leading to the reduction in the methane excess adsorption capacity. Water molecules in chlorite pores occupied the pore wall in a directional manner, which may be related to the van der Waals and Coulomb force interactions and the hydrogen bonding interaction. It was also found that water molecules existed as aggregates. With increasing water content, the water molecules occupied the adsorption sites and adsorption space of the methane, leading to a reduction in the methane excess adsorption capacity. The excess adsorption capacity of gas on chlorite decreased in the following order: carbon dioxide 〉 methane 〉 nitrogen. If the mole fraction of nitrogen or carbon dioxide in the binary gas mixture increased, the mole fraction of methane decreased, methane adsorption sites changed, and methane adsorption space was reduced, resulting in the decrease in the methane excess adsorption capacity.展开更多

Water samples were collected and analyzed to study spatial and temporal water quality variation. Strong seasonal variation of water quality was found. The water quality of Bang Lake was relatively poor compared to Sha and Dahu Lakes in the wet season, but better in the normal season. During the dry season, the water quality of Bang Lake is negatively affected by the activity of migratory birds. According to the correlation analysis of monthly concentrations of each parameter, the concentrations of COD, NH?-4–N, and NO3–N were highly correlated. The correlation index was 0.829 and significance index was0.042 \ 0.05. From north to south within Bang Lake, the concentration of TN decreased; however, the concentration of Chl-a increased. From east to west within Bang Lake,concentrations of COD, NH?4–N, NO-3–N, and Chl-a increased. The Xiu and Gan Rivers influence the water quality of Bang Lake, especially in the northeast area of the lake. The water quality of Bang Lake only reached Chinese water quality standard level IV or V according to a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation. The evaluation factors impacting Bang Lake are TN[TP[NH?4–N[COD, in order of decreasing importance. The waters of Poyang Lake Migratory Bird Sanctuary have been polluted; one of the important contributing factors was migratory birds' disturbance and feces.展开更多

文摘Biomass-based carbon materials with hierarchical porous structures have attracted attention for their ability to provide more channels and shorten ion transport paths.Here,we developed a simple method based on confined nanospace deposition.Dur-ing high-temperature treatment,the mesoporous silica layer wrapped around the outside of the crab shells acted as a closed nanospace and effectively suppressed the severe deformation of the crab shell structure by shrinking inward.The prepared carbon material has a layered porous structure with abundant and stable N and O co-doping(N 7.32%,O 3.69%).The specific capacitance of the three-electrode system was 134.3 F/g at a current density of 0.5 A/g in a 6 mol/L KOH electrolyte,and the assembled aqueous symmetric supercapacitors exhibited an excellent cycling stability of 98.81%even after 5000 cycles.

文摘The successful implementation of bioelectronic devices attached to living organism hinges on a number of material and device characteristics,including not only electrical and mechanical performances to gather physiological signals from living organism thus enabling status monitoring,but also permeability or breathability for gas/nutrient exchange between living organisms and surroundings to ensure minimum perturbation of the intrinsic biological function.However,most bioelectronic devices built on planar polymeric substrates,such as polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS),polyurethane(PU),and polyimide(PI),lack efficient gas permeability,which may hinder the emission of volatile compounds from the surface of living organism,affecting the natural metabolism and reducing the comfort of wearing.Thus,achieving permeability or breathability in bioelectronic devices is a significant challenge.Currently,the devices made of gas-permeable materials with porous structures,that combine electronic components with daily garments,such as fibric and textile,offer exciting opportunities for breathable electronics.In this review,several types of gas-permeable materials with their synthesis and processing routes are outlines.Then,two methods for measuring water vapor transmission rate of materials are discussed in depth.Finally,recent progress in the use of gaspermeable materials for the applications of plant-and skin-attached electronics is summarized systematically.

文摘基于m-TiO_(2)/m-ZrO_(2)/C的无空穴可印刷介观钙钛矿太阳能电池(p-MPSCs)具有成本低廉、操作简便和稳定性优异的特点,被认为是最具商业应用潜力的新型光伏器件之一.然而,与传统PSC相比,p-MPSCs的开路电压(VOC)损失较大,导致能量转换效率(PCE)与传统PSC存在差距.在此,我们提出了一种利用5-氨基-4甲酰胺咪唑盐酸盐(AICA)提升p-MPSCs开路电压的方法.AICA不仅可以调节钙钛矿膜的功函数,其酰胺基团和氨基还能分别钝化钙钛矿中未配位的Pb2+和I−缺陷,稳定钙钛矿的结构,形成高质量钙钛矿薄膜,从而抑制缺陷诱导的非辐射复合.因此,引入AICA后p-MPSCs获得了16.68%的PCE,并且VOC从0.88提升至0.98 V.

文摘Lasers differ from other light sources in that they are coherent,and their coherence makes them indispensable to both fundamental research and practical application.In optomechanical cavities,photon and phonon lasing is facilitated by the ability of photons and phonons to interact intensively and excite one another coherently.The lasing linewidths of both phonons and photons are critical for practical application.This study investigates the lasing linewidths of photons and phonons from the underlying dynamics in an optomechanical cavity.We find that the linewidths can be accounted for by two distinct physical mechanisms in two regimes,namely the normal regime and the reversed regime,where the intrinsic optical decay rate is either larger or smaller than the intrinsic mechanical decay rate.In the normal regime,an ultra-narrow spectral linewidth of 5.4 kHz for phonon lasing at 6.22 GHz can be achieved regardless of the linewidth of the pump light,while these results are counterintuitively unattainable for photon lasing in the reversed regime.These results pave the way towards harnessing the coherence of both photons and phonons in silicon photonic devices and reshaping their spectra,potentially opening up new technologies in sensing,metrology,spectroscopy,and signal processing,as well as in applications requiring sources that offer an ultra-high degree of coherence.

文摘Fiber-reinforced composites are a popular lightweight materials used in a variety of engineering applications,such as aerospace,architecture,automotive,and marine construction,due to their attractive mechanical properties.Constructing lattice materials from fiber-reinforced composites is an efficient approach for developing ultra-lightweight structural systems with superior mechanical proper-ties and multifunctional benefits.In contrast to corrugated,foam,and honeycomb core materials,composite lattice materials can be manufactured with various architectural designs,such as woven,grid,and truss cores.Moreover,lattice materials with open-cell topology provide multifunctional advantages over conventional closed-cell honeycomb and foam structures and are thus highly desirable for developing aerospace systems,hypersonic vehicles,long-range rockets and missiles,ship and naval structures,and protective systems.The objective of this study is to review and analyze dynamic mechanical behavior performed by different researchers in the area of composite lattice materials and to highlight topics for future research.

文摘Intertrochanteric fractures have become a severe public health problem in elderly patients.Proximal femoral nail anti-rotation(PFNA)is a commonly used intramedullary fixation device for unstable intertrochanteric fractures.Pelvic perforation by cephalic screw is a rare complication.We reported an 84-year-old female who fell at home and sustained an intertrochanteric fracture.The patient underwent surgery with PFNA as the intramedullary fixation device.Routine postoperative examination revealed medial migration of the helical blade that eventually caused pelvic perforation.We performed a cemented total hip arthroplasty as the savage procedure.At the latest follow-up of 12 months after total hip arthroplasty,the patient had no pain or loosening of the prosthesis in the left hip.Pelvic perforation should be considered when choosing PFNA as the intramedullary fixation device,especially in patients with severe osteoporosis wherein the helical blade can be easily inserted during the operation.The lack of devices to avoid oversliding of the helical blade in PFNA is an unreported cause of this complication and should be considered in such cases.
