Berlin Green Framework‑Based Gas Sensor for Room‑Temperature and High‑Selectivity Detection of Ammonia

Ammonia detection possesses great potential in atmosphere environmental protection,agriculture,industry,and rapid medical diagnosis.However,it still remains a great challenge to balance the sensitivity,selectivity,working temperature,and response/recovery speed.In this work,Berlin green(BG)framework is demonstrated as a highly promising sensing material for ammonia detection by both density functional theory simulation and experimental gas sensing investigation.Vacancy in BG framework offers abundant active sites for ammonia absorption,and the absorbed ammonia transfers sufficient electron to BG,arousing remarkable enhancement of resistance.Pristine BG framework shows remarkable response to ammonia at 50–110°C with the highest response at 80°C,which is jointly influenced by ammonia’s absorption onto BG surface and insertion into BG lattice.The sensing performance of BG can hardly be achieved at room temperature due to its high resistance.Introduction of conductive Ti3CN MXene overcomes the high resistance of pure BG framework,and the simply prepared BG/Ti3CN mixture shows high selectivity to ammonia at room temperature with satisfying response/recovery speed.

Erbium-ytterbium co-doped lithium niobate single-mode microdisk laser with an ultralow threshold of 1μW

We demonstrate single-mode microdisk lasers in the telecom band with ultralow thresholds on erbium-ytterbium co-doped thin-film lithium niobate(TFLN).The active microdisk was fabricated with high-Q factors by photolithography-assisted chemomechanical etching.Thanks to the erbium-ytterbium co-doping providing high optical gain,the ultralow loss nanostructuring,and the excitation of high-Q coherent polygon modes,which suppresses multimode lasing and allows high spatial mode overlap between pump and lasing modes,single-mode laser emission operating at 1530 nm wavelength was observed with an ultralow threshold,under a 980-nm-band optical pump.The threshold was measured as low as 1μW,which is one order of magnitude smaller than the best results previously reported in single-mode active TFLN microlasers.The conversion efficiency reaches 4.06×10^(-3),which is also the highest value reported in single-mode active TFLN microlasers.

Spatial variations in CO2 fluxes in a subtropical coastal reservoir of Southeast China were related to urbanization and land-use types

Carbon dioxide(CO_(2))emissions from aquatic ecosystems are important components of the global carbon cycle,yet the CO_(2)emissions from coastal reservoirs,especially in developing countries where urbanization and rapid land use change occur,are still poorly understood.In this study,the spatiotemporal variations in CO_(2)concentrations and fluxes were investigated in Wenwusha Reservoir located in the southeast coast of China.Overall,the mean CO_(2)concentration and flux across the whole reservoir were 41.85±2.03μmol/L and 2.87±0.29 mmol/m2/h,respectively,and the reservoir was a consistent net CO_(2)source over the entire year.The land use types and urbanization levels in the reservoir catchment significantly affected the input of exogenous carbon towater.The mean CO_(2)fluxwasmuch higher from waters adjacent to the urban land(5.05±0.87 mmol/m2/hr)than other land use types.Sites with larger input of exogenous substance via sewage discharge and upstream runoff were often the hotspots of CO_(2)emission in the reservoir.Our results suggested that urbanization process,agricultural activities,and large input of exogenous carbon could result in large spatial heterogeneity of CO_(2)emissions and alter the CO_(2)biogeochemical cycling in coastal reservoirs.Further studies should characterize the diurnal variations,microbial mechanisms,and impact of meteorological conditions on reservoir CO_(2)emissions to expand our understanding of the carbon cycle in aquatic ecosystems.

Molecular dynamics simulation of graphene sinking during chemical vapor deposition growth on semi-molten Cu substrate

Copper foil is the most promising catalyst for the synthesis of large-area,high-quality monolayer graphene.Experimentally,it has been found that the Cu substrate is semi-molten at graphene growth temperatures.In this study,based on a self-developed C–Cu empirical potential and density functional theory(DFT)methods,we performed systematic molecular dynamics simulations to explore the stability of graphene nanostructures,i.e.,carbon nanoclusters and graphene nanoribbons,on semi-molten Cu substrates.

Hot deformation behavior of a novel bimetal consisting of BTW1 and Q345R characterized by processing maps

Only a few studies have been conducted on the flow behavior of the novel BTW1/Q345R bimetal,which is widely used in coal equipment.In this work,compression tests were conducted on BTW1/Q345R bimetal at a temperature range of 950°C–1200°C and strain rates of 0.05,0.5,5,and 15 s^−1 by using a Gleeble-3800 thermomechanical simulator.A constitutive equation was validated by referring to the Arrhenius equation during the characterization of hot workability.The computed apparent activation energy of the BTW1/Q345R bimetal was 360 kJ/mol,and processing maps under different strain conditions were drawn.Analysis of the stress-strain relationship revealed that work hardening exerted a dominant effect on the thermal deformation of the BTW1/Q345R bimetal.The processing maps predicted that the optimal processing interval will increase with strain.Results showed that thermal deformation of the BTW1/Q345R bimetal should proceed when the temperature range varies from 1182°C to 1200°C and the strain rate interval is from 4.2 to 15 s^−1.

INFLUENCE OF CaF_(2)-4LiF ADDITIVE ON SINTERING AND ENERGY STORAGE PERFORMANCE OF SrTiO_(3)CERAMICS

The CaF_(2)-4LiF additive was added into SrTiO_(3)ceramics in order to decrease the sintering temperature for compact pulse power application.The crystalline structure,microstructure and energy storage performance of sintered ceramics were studied.Incorporating CaF_(2)-4LiF additive to SrTiO_(3)ceramics contributes to a notably enhancement of the energy storage density.The great enhancement in energy storage density occurred due to the notable increase in breakdown strength and the refinement of microstructure.With 2 at%additive,the samples exhibited an average breakdown strength of 31.8kV/mm,and an energy storage density of 1.212 J/cm^(3)which is about 1.4 times higher than pure SrTiO_(3).
