Sodium Nitrate/Formamide Deep Eutectic Solvent as Flame-Retardant and Anticorrosive Electrolyte Enabling 2.6 V Safe Supercapacitors with Long Cyclic Stability

Safe operation of electrochemical capacitors(supercapacitors)is hindered by the flammability of commercial organic electrolytes.Non-flammable Water-in-Salt(WIS)electrolytes are promising alternatives;however,they are plagued by the limited operation voltage window(typically≤2.3 V)and inherent corrosion of current collectors.Herein,a novel deep eutectic solvent(DES)-based electrolyte which uses formamide(FMD)as hydrogen-bond donor and sodium nitrate(NaNO_(3))as hydrogen-bond acceptor is demonstrated.The electrolyte exhibits the wide electrochemical stability window(3.14 V),high electrical conductivity(14.01 mScm^(-1)),good flame-retardance,anticorrosive property,and ultralow cost(7%of the commercial electrolyte and 2%of WIS).Raman spectroscopy and Density Functional Theory calculations reveal that the hydrogen bonds between the FMD molecules and NO_(3)^(-)ions are primarily responsible for the superior stability and conductivity.The developed NaNO_(3)/FMD-based coin cell supercapacitor is among the best-performing state-of-art DES and WIS devices,evidenced by the high voltage window(2.6 V),outstanding energy and power densities(22.77 Wh kg^(-1)at 630 W kg^(-1)and 17.37 kW kg^(-1)at 12.55 Wh kg^(-1)),ultralong cyclic stability(86%after 30000 cycles),and negligible current collector corrosion.The NaNO_(3)/FMD industry adoption potential is demonstrated by fabricating 100 F pouch cell supercapacitors using commercial aluminum current collectors.

Long-term Variation of the Solar Polar Magnetic Fields at Different Latitudes

The polar magnetic fields of the Sun play an important role in governing solar activity and powering fast solar wind.However,because our view of the Sun is limited in the ecliptic plane,the polar regions remain largely uncharted.Using the high spatial resolution and polarimetric precision vector magnetograms observed by Hinode from 2012 to 2021,we investigate the long-term variation of the magnetic fields in polar caps at different latitudes.The Hinode magnetic measurements show that the polarity reversal processes in the north and south polar caps are non-simultaneous.The variation of the averaged radial magnetic flux density reveals that,in each polar cap,the polarity reversal is completed successively from the 70°latitude to the pole,reflecting a poleward magnetic flux migration therein.These results clarify the polar magnetic polarity reversal process at different latitudes.

Can HHe^(+)exist at high pressure:Exploration of high pressure induced HF–He compounds

HHe^(+)is considered as the strongest acid and most powerful proton donor known to human.Whether HHe^(+)exists at planetary high pressure environment is a quite important problem in physics,chemistry and planetary sciences.Here,using the ab initio evolutionary algorithm USPEX package,we searched HF–He system,which was reported as the most possible candidate to contain HHe^(+).The calculation proved HHe^(+)cannot form at pressure<1000 GPa,due to a conflict between the covalent component in symmetric hydrogen bond and ionic HHe^(+).Although He atoms have no chemical bonding with other elements,they can supply a chemical pressure,leading to two new phases He2(HF)4 and He(HF).With coplanar(HF)_(4)rings,He_(2)(HF)_(4)have an aromaticity-like electronic behavior while He(HF)has a new type of chiral HF chain.The formation of He_(2)(HF)_(4)and He(HF)prove that the chemical pressure from He,on par with external pressure,have ability to control the structural and electronic configuration and induce some new familiars of compounds include H and He elements which are fundamental planetary materials in giant planets.

High-precision nondestructive evaluation of a thermal barrier coating based on perovskite quantum dot anion exchange

Thermal barrier coatings(TBCs)in gas turbine engines are used in expressly harsh environments;thus,assessing TBC integrity status is critical for safety and reliability.However,traditional periodic maintenance involves visual inspections of the TBCs,requiring the gas turbine to be decommissioned and partially dismantled.Most importantly,tiny defects or internal damages that easily cause coating failure cannot be identified.In this work,a new nondestructive evaluation(NDE)technique of TBCs based on quantum dot(QD)anion exchange is first explored internationally.By exchanging anions between the Cl ions and the CsPbBr_(3) QDs,the degrees of salt corrosion of the TBCs are evaluated.The resultant NDE technique shows that the colour of the TBCs obviously changes from green to blue,accompanied by a large blueshift(~100 nm)of the photoluminescence(PL)peak position.In addition,the relationship between the PL peak position and coating thermophysical properties indicates that the precision of this NDE technique may easily identify theμm-level of the thermal growth oxide(TGO)changes inside the TBCs.

Alignment error modeling and control of a double-sided microlens array during precision glass molding

Double-sided microlens arrays(DSMLAs)include combinations of two single-sided MLAs to overcome positioning errors and greatly improve light transmissivity compared to other types of lenses.Precision glass molding(PGM)is used to fabricate DSMLAs,but controlling alignment errors during this process is challenging.In this paper,a mold assembly was manufactured with a novel combination of materials to improve the alignment accuracy of mold cores during PGM by using the nonlinear thermal expansion characteristics of the various materials to improve the DSMLA alignment accuracy.By establishing a mathematical model of the DSMLA alignment error and a thermal expansion model of the mold-sleeve pair,the relationship between the maximum alignment error of the DSMLA and the mold-sleeve gap was determined.This research provides a method to optimize the mold-sleeve gap and minimize the alignment error of the DSMLA.The measured DSMLA alignment error was 10.56μm,which is similar to the predicted maximum alignment error.Optical measurements showed that the uniformity of the homogenized beam spot was 97.81%,and the effective homogeneous area accounted for 91.66%of the total area.This proposed method provides a novel strategy to improve the performance of DSMLAs.

装配水平筛板的气升式反应器中气液传质特性的数值模拟

利用Turbulent–Lehr组合模型对装配水平筛板的气升式反应器进行了计算流体力学(CFD)模拟,研究水平筛板对气含率、气泡直径、体积传质系数(kLa)和气液流速的影响。结果表明,筛板对气相的囤积作用和对液相的阻碍作用增加了反应器的整体气含率。筛板对气相的二次均布作用减弱了筛板和液面之间区域的气泡聚并过程,筛板筛孔对气泡的破碎作用产生了大量小于初始直径的气泡,增加了气泡比表面积(a);筛板对液相的阻碍作用提高了筛板附近的气–液相流动速度差,从而提高了该区域的液膜传质系数(kL),强化了反应器内的气液传质效果。
