文摘As one of the promising anode materials,iron selenide has received much attention for potassium-ion batteries(KIBs).Nevertheless,volume expansion and sluggish kinetics of iron selenide result in the poor reversibility and stability during potassiation–depotassiation process.In this work,we develop iron selenide composite matching ether-based electrolyte for KIBs,which presents a reversible specific capacity of 356 mAh g^(−1) at 200 mA g^(−1) after 75 cycles.According to the measurement of mechanical properties,it is found that iron selenide composite also exhibits robust and elastic solid electrolyte interphase layer in ether-based electrolyte,contributing to the improvement in reversibility and stability for KIBs.To further investigate the electrochemical enhancement mechanism of ether-based electrolyte in KIBs,we also utilize in situ visualization technique to monitor the potassiation–depotassiation process.For comparison,iron selenide composite matching carbonate-based electrolyte presents vast morphology change during potassiation–depotassiation process.When changing to ether-based electrolyte,a few minor morphology changes can be observed.This phenomenon indicates an occurrence of homogeneous electrochemical reaction in ether-based electrolyte,which results in a stable performance for potassium-ion(K-ion)storage.We believe that our work will provide a new perspective to visually monitor the potassium-ion storage process and guide the improvement in electrode material performance.

文摘[Objectives] In order to explore the effect of fermentation on Lophatherum gracile Brongn. [Methods] The single factor experiment was applied to screen the fermentation conditions of L. gracile Brongn,and the effect of fermentation on the contents of total flavonoids and total polysaccharides was explored. [Results] The experiment defined the best fermentation conditions as: keeping natural state of p H,temperature 35℃,inoculation amount 6%,rotation speed 210 r/min,fermentation time 36 h. The results showed that the content increase of total flavonoids in the fermentation group was 5. 59% higher than the that in the non-fermentation group. [Conclusions]The selected fermentation method could improve the contents of total flavonoids and total polysaccharides.

文摘Nanoporous metals have emerged as a new class of functional materials with unique structures and properties.Compared to conventional metals and alloys,nanoporous metals possess a high surface area,unique pore size distribution and enhanced catalytic activity,making them highly desirable for a wide range of applications,such as photonics,sensing,supercapacitors and catalysis.In this review paper,we aim to summarize recent advances in the fabrication,structural regulation and functional applications of nanoporous metals and their composites via the dealloying of metallic glasses.Particularly,we will discuss the factors that affect the nanoporous structure,including precursor composition,dealloying conditions and post-treatment methods.We will also cover topics such as the preparation of immiscible nanoporous metals and the control of hierarchical nanoporous structures.Finally,we will provide a brief overview of the current situation and discuss the current challenges and potential research directions in the field.

文摘Flexible pressure sensors with high sensitivity and linearity are highly desirable for robot sensing and human physiological signal detection.However,the current strategies for stabilizing axial microstructures(e.g.,micro-pyramids)are mainly susceptible to structural stiffening during compression,thereby limiting the realization of high sensitivity and linearity.Here,we report a bending-induced nonequilibrium compression process that effectively enhances the compressibility of microstructures,thereby crucially improving the efficiency of interfacial area growth of electric double layer(EDL).Based on this principle,we fabricate an iontronic flexible pressure sensor with vertical graphene(VG)array electrodes.Ultra-high sensitivity(185.09 kPa^(-1))and linearity(R^(2)=0.9999)are realized over a wide pressure range(0.49 Pa–66.67 k Pa).It also exhibits remarkable mechanical stability during compression and bending.The sensor is successfully employed in a robotic gripping task to recognize the targets of different materials and shapes based on a multilayer perception(MLP)neural network.It opens the door to realizing haptic sensing capabilities for robotic hands and prosthetic limbs.

文摘Understanding the nature of quantum chromodynamics(QCD)matter is important but challenging due to the presence of nonperturbative dynamics under extreme conditions.We construct a holographic model describing the gluon sector of QCD at finite temperatures in the non-perturbative regime.The equation of state as a function of temperature is in good accordance with the lattice QCD data.Moreover,the Polyakov loop and the gluon condensation,which are proper order parameters to capture the deconfinement phase transition,also agree quantitatively well with the lattice QCD data.We obtain a strong first-order confinement/deconfinement phase transition at Tc=276.5 Me V that is consistent with the lattice QCD prediction.Based on our model for a pure gluon hidden sector,we compute the stochastic gravitational waves and primordial black hole(PBH)productions from this confinement/deconfinement phase transition in the early Universe.The resulting stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds are found to be within detectability in the International Pulsar Timing Array and Square Kilometre Array in the near future when the associated productions of PBHs saturate the current observational bounds on the PBH abundances from the LIGO-Virgo-Collaboration O3 data.
