On the design side, two design variations are used in the active cell of the diode(segment design and stripe design). In addition, there are two more design variations employed for the edge termination layout of the diodes, namely, field limiting ring(FLR) and junction termination extension(JTE). On the process side, some diodes have gone through an N_2 O annealing step. The segment design resulted in a lower forward voltage drop(VF) in the diodes and the FLR design turned out to be a better choice for blocking voltages, in the reverse bias.Also, N_2 O annealing has shown a detrimental effect on the diodes' blocking performance, which have JTE as their termination design. It degrades the blocking capability of the diodes significantly.展开更多

文摘Pt_(3)Ni alloy structure is an effective strategy to accelerate ethanol oxidation reaction(EOR),while the stability in acid electrolyte is the fatal weakness and the current density still needs to be enhanced.Herein,ultralong Pt_(3)Ni nanowires tailored by trace Mo(Mo/Pt_(3)Ni NWs)were successfully synthesized by surfactant free method.The specific activity of the optimized catalyst was 2.66 mA·cm^(-2),which is approximately 2.16 and 4.6-fold that of Pt_(3)Ni NWs and commercial Pt/C catalyst,respectively.Most importantly,the Mo/Pt_(3)Ni NWs catalyst showed negligible structure degradation after 3,000 cycles(42 h)of durability test in 0.1 M HClO4 and 0.5 M ethanol,as compared to severe structural collapse and Ni dissolution for the pure Pt_(3)Ni NWs.The density functional theory(DFT)calculation also confirmed that both the surface and subsurface Mo atom could form Pt-Mo and Ni-Mo bonds with Pt and Ni,which were stronger than Pt-Ni bonds,to pin the Ni atoms in the unstable position and suppress the dissolution of surface Ni.The findings of this study indicate a promising pathway for the design and engineering of durable alloy nanocatalysts for direct ethanol fuel cell applications.
