The corresponding polymers, poly[2,3- bis(4-decyloxyphenyl)-5,8-bis(3,4-dimethoxylthiophen-2-yl)quinoxaline] (P1) and poly[2,3-bis(4-decyloxyphenyl)-5,8- bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)quinoxaline] (P2), are directly deposited onto the working electrode surface by electropolymerization. All materials were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectrometry (MS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrometry (UV-Vis) and spectro-electrochemical measurements. Electrochemical studies demonstrate that both polymers are capable of showing both reasonable n- and p-doping processes, and advanced long-term switching stabilities. 3,4-Ethylenedioxythiophene substituted for 3,4-dimethoxythiophene as a donor unit, which enhances the conjugated double-bond character of the conducting polymer, thus leading to a lower electronic band-gap. Likewise, the neutral state color of the synthesized polymer tuned from blue to blue-green corresponding to the red shift of the maximum absorption wavelengths in the visible region. In addition, kinetics study of P1 revealed 42% (595 nm), 30% (839 nm) and 69% (1500 nm) transmittance changes (A7%), while P2 exhibited 32% (740 nm), 71% (2000 nm) at the dominant wavelengths. It was also observed that both films could switch quickly between the neutral state and oxidation state, with the response time less than 1 s both in visible and near infrared regions.展开更多

A carefully designed output voltage filter detects the output capacitor current change which helps the controller to respond immediately after load changes. Adaptive hysteresis control guarantees the switching frequency to be the same as the reference frequency by using a CCII-composed circuit and current mirrors. The controller is designed and fabricated in a TSMC 0.35 μm process. Simulation and test results show that this con- troller achieves a 20 μs settling time in one single switching cycle when load current changes from 1 A to the full load condition at 10 A.展开更多

文摘In this study,the decomposed fast and slow responses of clouds to an abruptly quadrupled CO_(2)concentration(approximately 1139 ppmv)in East Asia(EA)are obtained quantitatively by using a general circulation model,BCC–AGCM2.0.Our results show that in the total response,the total cloud cover(TCC),low cloud cover(LCC),and high cloud cover(HCC)all increased north of 40°N and decreased south of 40°N except in the Tibetan Plateau(TP).The mean changes of the TCC,LCC,and HCC in EA were–0.74%,0.38%,and–0.38%in the total response,respectively;1.05%,–0.03%,and 1.63%in the fast response,respectively;and–1.79%,0.41%,and–2.01%in the slow response,respectively.By comparison,we found that changes in cloud cover were dominated by the slow response in most areas in EA due to the changes in atmospheric temperature,circulation,and water vapor supply together.Overall,the changes in the cloud forcing over EA related to the fast and slow responses were opposite to each other,and the final cloud forcing was dominated by the slow response.The mean net cloud forcing(NCF)in the total response over EA was–1.80 W m^(–2),indicating a cooling effect which partially offset the warming effect caused by the quadrupled CO_(2).The total responses of NCF in the TP,south China(SC),and northeast China(NE)were–6.74 W m^(–2),6.11 W m^(–2),and–7.49 W m^(–2),respectively.Thus,the local effects of offsetting or amplifying warming were particularly obvious.

文摘Moisture-enabled electricity(ME)is a method of converting the potential energy of water in the external environment into electrical energy through the interaction of functional materials with water molecules and can be directly applied to energy harvesting and signal expression.However,ME can be unreliable in numerous applications due to its sluggish response to moisture,thus sacrificing the value of fast energy harvesting and highly accurate information representation.Here,by constructing a moisture-electric-moisture-sensitive(ME-MS)heterostructure,we develop an efficient ME generator with ultra-fast electric response to moisture achieved by triggering Grotthuss protons hopping in the sensitized ZnO,which modulates the heterostructure built-in interfacial potential,enables quick response(0.435 s),an unprecedented ultra-fast response rate of 972.4 mV s^(−1),and a durable electrical signal output for 8 h without any attenuation.Our research provides an efficient way to generate electricity and important insight for a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of moisture-generated carrier migration in ME generator,which has a more comprehensive working scene and can serve as a typical model for human health monitoring and smart medical electronics design.
文摘A 30 MHz voltage-mode controlled buck converter with fast transient responses is presented.An improved differential difference amplifier(DDA)-based Type-III compensator is proposed to reduce the settling times of the converter during load transients,and to achieve near-optimal transient responses with simple PWM control only.Moreover,a hybrid scheme using a digital linear regulator with automatic transient detection and seamless loop transition is proposed to further improve the transient responses.By monitoring the output voltage of the compensator instead of the output voltage of the converter,the proposed hybrid scheme can reduce undershoot and overshoot effectively with good noise immunity and without interrupting the PWM loop.The converter was fabricated in a 0.13μm standard CMOS process using 3.3 V devices.With an input voltage of 3.3 V,the measured peak efficiencies at the output voltages of 2.4,1.8,and 1.2 V are 90.7%,88%,and 83.6%,respectively.With a load step of 1.25 A and rise and fall times of 2 ns,the measured 1%settling times were 220 and 230 ns,with undershoot and overshoot with PWM control of 72 and 76 mV,respectively.They were further reduced to 36 and 38 mV by using the proposed hybrid scheme,and 1%settling times were also reduced to 125 ns.

文摘In this article,an effective technique is developed to efficiently obtain the output responses of parameterized structural dynamic problems.This technique is based on the conception of reduced basis method and the usage of linear interpolation principle.The original problem is projected onto the reduced basis space by linear interpolation projection,and subsequently an associated interpolation matrix is generated.To ensure the largest nonsingularity,the interpolation matrix needs to go through a timenode choosing process,which is developed by applying the angle of vector spaces.As a part of this technique,error estimation is recommended for achieving the computational error bound.To ensure the successful performance of this technique,the offline-online computational procedures are conducted in practical engineering.Two numerical examples demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the presented method.
文摘Recently,the fast frequency response(FFR)service by large-scale battery energy storage systems(BESSs)has been successfully proved to arrest the frequency excursion during an unexpected power outage.However,adequate frequency response relies on proper evaluation of the contingency reserve of BESSs.The BESS FFR reserve is commonly managed under fixed contracts,ignoring various response characteristics of different BESSs and their coexisting interactions.This paper proposes a new methodology based on dynamic grid response and various BESS response characteristics to optimise the FFR reserves and prevent the frequency from breaching the under-frequency load shedding(UFLS)thresholds.The superiority of the proposed method is demonstrated to manage three large-scale BESSs operating simultaneously in an Australian power grid under high renewable penetration scenarios.Further,the proposed method can identify remaining battery power and energy reserve to be safely utilised for other grid services(e.g.,energy arbitrage).The results can provide valuable insights for integrating FFR into conventional ancillary services and techno-effective management of multiple BESSs.

文摘Internal gases caused by side reactions are crucial signals for evaluating health and safety states of Li-ion batteries(LIBs)while it is still a great challenge to timely realize accurate monitoring.To address the issues of implanting various gas sensors into commercial batteries,here a novel method is developed to fast operando monitoring gas evolution via equipping non-dispersive infrared multi-gases sensors into a sealed tank,where real commercial batteries with one open end could be settled for operating.The generated CO_(2)concentration is strongly linked with both voltage and temperature,while the concentrations of CH_(4) and C_(2)H_(4) are solely dependent on temperature.As a typical trace gas,evolution behaviors of CO_(2)have been related to 0_(2) generation from LiNi_(o.5)Mn_(0.3)CoO_(2)0_(2) positive electrode,implying stable CO_(2)release below a critical voltage of 4.5 V.By tracking CO_(2)concentration,an increased amount of Li_(2)CO_(3) was monitored on the surface of graphite negative electrode during discharge process at dfferent temperatures and cutoff voltages,which contributes to the component variation of solid electrolyte interfaces.Such operando techniques promise a plaform for well understanding the interaction of side reactions linked with gas evolution between positive and negative electrodes in commercial LIBs.

文摘This paper presents an AOT-controlled(adaptive-on-time,AOT)valley-current-mode buck converter for portable application.The buck converter with synchronous rectifier not only uses valley-current-mode control but also possesses hybridmode control functions at the same time.Due to the presence of the zero-current detection circuit,the converter can switch freely between the two operating modes without the need for an external mode selection circuit,which further reduces the design difficulty and chip area.The converter for the application of high power efficiency and wide current range is used to generate the voltage of 0.6–3.0 V with a battery source of 3.3–5.0 V,while the load current range is 0.05–2 A.The circuit can work in continuous conduction mode with constant frequency in high load current range.In addition,a stable output voltage can be obtained with small voltage ripple.In pace with the load current decreases to a critical value,the converter transforms into the discontinuous conduction mode smoothly.As the switching period increases,the switching loss decreases,which can significantly improve the conversion efficiency.The proposed AOT controlled valley current mode buck converter is integrated with standard 0.18μm process and the simulation results show that the converter provides well-loaded regulations with power efficiency over 95%.When the circuit switches between the two conduction modes drastically,the response time can be controlled within 30μs.The undershoot voltage is controlled within 25 mV under a large current hopping range.

文摘Broadband photodetectors with polarization-sensitive ability have received extraordinary attention for modern optoelectronic devices.Ideal photodetectors should possess high responsivity,fast response,and good stability,which are rare to meet at the same time in one low-symmetric two-dimentional(2D)material.In this work,neodymium diantimonides(RSb_(2)),a member of light rare-earth diantimonides RSb_(2)(R=La–Nd,Sm)with low-symmetry structure,is introduced as a fascinating highly anisotropic 2D material for broadband detection(532 nm to 4μm).The photodetector exhibits a responsivity of 0.49 mA·W^(−1)with 15μs response time at 532 nm and highly stable performance under ambient conditions over 8 months.Furthermore,we identify the polarization-sensitive photoresponse of the detector and demonstrate a high anisotropic factor~1.6.In addition,strong inplane anisotropy is revealed by anisotropic phonon response and the photodetection mechanism is investigated by scanning photocurrent microscopy measurements.This pioneer work on RSb_(2)paves the way for further exploration of 2D RSb_(2)for high performance polarized photodetectors with fast photothermoelectric response.

文摘Tin selenide(SnSe)has attracted considerable interest recently on account of its low-symmetry lattice structure,great compatibility with key semiconductor technology,and remarkable electrical and optical performance.SnSe-based polarization-sensitive photodetectors show promising application prospects because of their fast response and excellent photoelectric performance.Here,an in-plane anisotropic SnSe nanosheet was synthesized and reported in detail by applying angle-resolved polarized Raman spectroscopy(ARPRS),polarization-resolved optical microscopy(PROM),angle-resolved optical absorption spectroscopy(AROAS),and other crystal structure characterization methods.Moreover,SnSe crystals exhibit superior polarization detection performance with a high anisotropic photocurrent ratio(2.31 at 1064 nm)due to the structure formed by the Van der Waals superposition of covalently bonded atomic layers.Furthermore,SnSe-based photodetectors have high responsivity(9.27 A/W),high detectivity(4.08×10^(10)Jones),and fast response(in the order of nanoseconds).These results suggest a new method for fabricating 2D fast-response polarization-sensitive photodetectors in the future.

文摘Recently,more and more supercapacitors(SCs)have been developed as AC line filter capacitors,which are generally named AC line filter electrochemical capacitors(FECs).Compared to traditional bulky aluminum electrolytic capacitors(AECs),FECs have higher capacity and lower space occupancy,which makes them a strong competitor.However,different from the common SCs for energy storage,it is necessary to consider the frequency response of the SCs for AC line filtering,where the contradiction between frequency response and specific capacitance is a challenge.The researchers have proposed different solutions from the perspective of materials,morphology,and configuration for this challenge.Based on the above background,in this review,we briefly introduce the principle and parameters of AC line filter electrochemical capacitors.We systematically summarize the state-of-the-art progresses of FECs and discuss their possible application and development in the future.The development of FECs can greatly promote the planarization,integration,and miniaturization of filter capacitors,and provide a new solution for the utilization of green and unstable energy.

文摘A 2V-10A fast transient response DC-DC buck controller based on fixed frequency hysteresis control is presented. A carefully designed output voltage filter detects the output capacitor current change which helps the controller to respond immediately after load changes. Adaptive hysteresis control guarantees the switching frequency to be the same as the reference frequency by using a CCII-composed circuit and current mirrors. The controller is designed and fabricated in a TSMC 0.35 μm process. Simulation and test results show that this con- troller achieves a 20 μs settling time in one single switching cycle when load current changes from 1 A to the full load condition at 10 A.

文摘Aging-related diseases are gradually becoming a major problem with the rapid development of aged population in human society.Although many fluorescent probes have been employed to diagnosis senescence via imaging senescence-associatedβ-galactosidase(SA-β-Gal),which is proved to be closely associated with senescent cells,the similar catalytic effectiveness of enzymatic reaction of ovarian cancer-associatedβ-Gal(OA-β-Gal)will interfere with imaging accuracy.Herein,a near-infrared(NIR)hemicyanine based fluorescent probe HCyXA-βGal was designed for light-up imaging of live cells containingβ-Gal.With the organelle-targeting morpholinyl and positive charge moieties,HCyxA-βGal was successfully applicated to image the difference of enzymatic location in senescent cells and ovarian cancer cells.Furthermore,inspired by the fast response performance,fast and precise imaging of the two cell lines was realized via covering another dimension of fluorescence signal:time-dependent intensity.
