To ...The corona discharge from transmission lines in high-altitude areas is more severe than at lower altitudes. The radio interference caused thereby is a key factor to be considered when designing transmission lines. To study the influence of altitude on negative corona characteristics, an experimental platform comprising a movable small corona cage was established: experiments were conducted at four altitudes in the range of 1120-4320 m, and data on the corona current pulse and radio interference level of 0.8-mm diameter fine copper wire under different negative voltages were collected. The experimental results show that the average amplitude, repetition frequency and average current of the corona current pulse increase with increasing altitude. The dispersion of pulse amplitude increases with increase in altitude, while the randomness of the pulse interval decreases continuously. Taking the average current as an intermediate variable,the relationship between radio interference level and altitude is obtained. The result of this research has some significance for understanding the corona discharge characteristics of ultra-highvoltage lines.展开更多

文摘Although great progress has been made in improving hydrogen production,highly efficient catalysts,which are able to produce hydrogen in a fast and steady way at ambient temperature and pressure,are still in large demand.Here,we report a[NiCo]-based hydrogenase mimic,NiCo_(2)O_(4) nanozyme,that can catalyze robust hydrogen evolution spontaneously in water without external energy input at room temperature.This hydrogenase nanozyme facilitates water splitting reaction by forming a three-center Ni-OH-Co bond analogous to the[NiFe]-hydrogenase reaction by using aluminum as electron donor,and realizes hydrogen evolution with a high production rate of 915 L·h^(-1) per gram of nanozymes,which is hundreds of times higher than most of the natural hydrogenase or hydrogenase mimics.Furthermore,the NiCo_(2)O_(4) nanozyme can robustly disrupt the adhesive oxidized layer of aluminum and enable the full consumption of electrons from aluminum.In contrast to the often-expensive synthetic catalysts that rely on rare elements and consume high energy,we envision that this NiCo_(2)O_(4) nanozyme can potentially provide an upgrade for current hydrogen evolution,accelerate the development of scale-up hydrogen production,and generate a clean energy future.

文摘Tin,as one of the most important critical metals,has at-tracted great attention worldwide(Jiang et al.,2023,2020).China has the largest amount of tin resources in the world,ac-counting for nearly one-fourth of the world’s total(Jiang et al.,2020;Chen and Sheng,2015).Tin deposits in China mainly occur in the Nanling Range in southern China,the Sanjiang Basin in southwestern China,and the Great Xing’an Range in northeastern China,which account for 98%of the country’s tin resources,whereas tin deposits are relatively rare in north-western China(Ni et al.,2023;Chen et al.,2014,1992).
文摘Immunogenic death is a form of programmed cell death that is common in the development and progression of cancer.However,its impact on tumor progression differs depending on the location of the tumor.Meanwhile,it also plays an important role in antitumor immunity because the process of immunogenic death can release substances that activate immunity.1 Therefore,in this study,the key mechanism of mediating immunogenic death in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)was found from the excavation of the immunogenic death characteristics of pan-cancer and the in-depth investigation of its effects on different tumor types(Fig.1A).

文摘To develop high-performance metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)for catalysis is of great importance.Here,we synthesized the mesoporous Cu_(3−x)Zn_(x)(BTC)_(2)(BTC=benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate)nanocubes in a deep eutectic solvent of ZnCl_(2)/ethylene glycol solution.The route can proceed at room temperature and the reaction time needed is shortened to be 30 min,which is superior to the conventional solvothermal route that usually needs high temperature and long reaction time.The formation mechanism of the mesoporous Cu_(3−x)Zn_(x)(BTC)_(2)nanocubes in deep eutectic solvent(DES)was investigated by in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction/small angle X-ray scattering/X-ray absorption fine structure conjunction technique.The mesoporous Cu_(3−x)Zn_(x)(BTC)_(2)nanocubes exhibit high catalytic activity and reusability for cyanosilylation reaction of benzaldehyde and aerobic oxidation reaction of benzylic alcohol.

文摘Synchrotron radiation based combined technique can provide multiple structural information simultaneously,which is an important development direction of structural detection.In this study,a novel small-angle X-ray scattering/X-ray diffraction/X-ray absorption fine structure(SAXS/XRD/XAFS)combined setup was constructed,where an area detector,a curved detector,and a point detector are,respectively,used for the measurements of SAXS,XRD,and XAFS signals.A detailed description about the combined setup was given.A minitype diamond detector coupled to a SAXS beamstop was used to record the transmitted X-ray intensity,making the scattering(SAXS and XRD)signal measurement compatible with the absorption(XAFS)signal measurement,avoiding mechanical switching.The two-way sampling strategy was used to acquire XAFS signals,shortening the non-counting time.The two-way and one-way sampling strategies were discussed.High-frequency sampling scheme was used to collect experimental signals,improving the measurement efficiency and signal-to-noise ratio.A detailed description and discussion about the high-frequency scheme were also given in this paper.Except the rotation of monochromator,there is no mechanical movement in measurements,time resolution may reach the level of seconds.Using this SAXS/XRD/XAFS combined setup,SAXS,XRD,and XAFS signals can be acquired simultaneously.With some in-situ sample environment system,the newlydeveloped combined technique can be used to track the structure evolution in complex fluids.During the formation processes of(BiO)2CO3 and ZnAPO-34 particles,the changes of in-situ experimental data with reaction time demonstrate that SAXS/XRD/XAFS combined technique is feasible to track the dynamic process.

文摘Basalt fibre composite materials have shown good application prospects in electrical equipment,but their reliability can be affected by damp-heat ageing.In this work,the interface,mechanical,and electrical properties of basalt fibre composites treated with three coupling agents via damp-heat ageing were compared.Molecular simulations were conducted to reveal the damp-heat ageing mechanism of the composites.The results show thatγ-aminopropyl triethoxy silane(KH-550)andγ-glycidoxy propyl trimethoxy silane(KH-560)perform better as coupling agents as they form bonds with the matrix resin,compared withγ-methacryloxy propyl trimethoxy silane(KH-570).After the dampheat ageing treatment,the hydrolysis of the defects of the amino groups in the interface of the KH-550-treated sample can weaken its mechanical properties and insulation properties greatly.The interface layer of the KH-560-treated sample is mostly composed of carbon–oxygen single bonds and methylene groups with its interface structure more stable,which endows the sample with better stability of its mechanical and insulating properties.Therefore,KH-560 is a more suitable coupling agent for processing basalt fibres to be used in electrical equipment.

文摘RuO_(x)是一种有潜力的析氢反应(HER)电催化剂,然而,其表面上*OH和*H中间体的竞争吸附以及过度H结合导致其析氢性能较差.FeOOH具有较强的亲氧性,有望与RuO_(x)耦合形成RuO_(x)/FeOOH复合材料来有效促进HER动力学.鉴于Ru^(3+)的强氧化性,构建温和的反应环境是设计结构均匀、Ru位点可及的RuO_(x)/FeOOH复合材料的关键.本文提出一种乙醇调控铁腐蚀策略,在泡沫铁上原位生长了RuO_(x)/FeOOH电催化剂.醇羟基与Ru^(3+)配位降低了Ru^(3+)的氧化性,并减缓了其扩散,避免了剧烈的氧化还原反应.优化的纳米结构以及RuO_(x)和FeOOH之间的强电子相互作用,使所制备的催化剂在50和100 mA cm^(-2)电流密度下驱动HER和全解水,分别仅需67 mV过电位和1.56 V电压.基于羟基调控策略,乙二醇、正丙醇、异丙醇和甲醇同样可替代乙醇来增强RuO_(x)/FeOOH的HER活性.本工作提出了一种调节铁腐蚀行为的配位调控方法,为制备新型钌基复合催化剂提供了理论依据.

文摘Molybdenum disulfide(MoS_(2))has shown significant promise as an economic hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)catalyst for hydrogen generation,but its catalytic performance is still lower than noble metalbased catalysists.Herein,a silver nanoparticles(Ag NPs)-decorated 1T/2H phase layered MoS_(2) electrocatalyst grown on titanium dioxide nanorod arrays(Ag NPs/1T(2H)MoS_(2)/TNRs)was prepared through acid-tunable ammonium ion intercalation.Taking advantage of MoS_(2) layered structure and crystal phase controllability,as-prepared Ag NPs/1T(2H)MoS_(2)/TNRs exhibited ultrahigh HER activity.As-proposed strategy combines facile hydrogen desorption(Ag NPs)with efficient hydrogen adsorption(1T/2H MoS_(2))effectively circumventes the kinetic limitation of hydrogen desorption by 1T/2H MoS_(2).The as-prepared Ag NPs/1T(2H)MoS_(2)/TNRs electrocatalyst exhibited excellent HER activity in 0.5 mol/L H2SO4 with low overpotential(118 mV vs.reversible hydrogen electrode(RHE))and small Tafel slope(38.61 mV/dec).The overpotential exhibts no obvious attenuation after 10 h of constant current flow.First-principles calculation demonstrates that as-prepared 1T/2H MoS_(2) exhibit a large capacity to store protons.These protons can be subsequently transferred to Ag NPs,which significantly increases the hydrogen coverage on the surface of Ag NPs in HER process and thus change the rate-determining step of HER on Ag NPs from water dissociation to hydrogen recombination.This study provides a unique strategy to improve the catalytic activity and stability for MoS_(2)-based electrocatalyst.
