Hybrid Strategy of Partitioned and Monolithic Methods for Solving Strongly Coupled Analysis of Inverse and Direct Piezoelectric and Circuit Coupling

The inverse and direct piezoelectric and circuit coupling are widely observed in advanced electro-mechanical systems such as piezoelectric energy harvesters.Existing strongly coupled analysis methods based on direct numerical modeling for this phenomenon can be classified into partitioned or monolithic formulations.Each formulation has its advantages and disadvantages,and the choice depends on the characteristics of each coupled problem.This study proposes a new option:a coupled analysis strategy that combines the best features of the existing formulations,namely,the hybrid partitioned-monolithic method.The analysis of inverse piezoelectricity and the monolithic analysis of direct piezoelectric and circuit interaction are strongly coupled using a partitioned iterative hierarchical algorithm.In a typical benchmark problem of a piezoelectric energy harvester,this research compares the results from the proposed method to those from the conventional strongly coupled partitioned iterative method,discussing the accuracy,stability,and computational cost.The proposed hybrid concept is effective for coupled multi-physics problems,including various coupling conditions.

Preparation of a Hybrid Organic-inorganic Monolith for Extraction and Purification of Quercetin and Myricetin from Chamaecyparis obtusa

A new hybrid organic-inorganic monolithic cartridge was synthesized and used as the selective sorbent for the extraction and purification of quercetin and myricetin from Chamaecyparis obtusa via a solid-phase extraction method.The morphology of the monolithic material was examined by field emission-scanning electron microscopy and a Brunauer-Emmett-Teller（BET） test.The adsorption capacity of the obtained material for quercetin and myricetin was investigated by fitting the adsorption data to four different adsorption equations,of which the LangmuirFreundlich isotherm was selected as the most suitable model.Under optimized conditions,good calibration curves were observed at nine concentrations ranged from 0.5 μg/mL to 100.0 μg/mL of quercetin and myricetin.The extraction recovery ranged from 74.5％ to 84.6％ and the inter-and intra-day relative standard deviations were ＜6％.This type of hybrid monolith has potential for the separation and purification of bioactive compounds from natural plant extracts.

Fabrication of branch-like Aph@LDH-MgO material through organic-inorganic hybrid conjugation for excellent anti-corrosion performance

Layered double hydroxides(LDH)frameworks have shown significant enhancement in stability and reusability,and their tailorable architecture brings new insight into the development of the next generation of hybrid materials,which attracted considerable attention in many fields over the years.One of the factors contributing to the widespread applicability of layered double hydroxides is their adaptable composition,which can accommodate a wide spectrum of potential anionic guests.This exceptional property makes the LDH system simple to adjust for various applications.However,most LDH systems are synthesized in situ in an autoclave at high temperatures and pressures that severely restrict the industrial use of such coating systems.In this study,LDH was directly synthesized on a magnesium alloy that had undergone plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO)treatment in the presence of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid,thereby avoiding the use of hydrothermal autoclave conditions.This LDH system was compared with a hybrid architecture consisting of organic-inorganic self-assembly.An organic layer was fabricated on top of the LDH film using 4-Aminophenol(Aph)compound,resulting in a smart hierarchical structure that can provide a robust Aph@LDH film with excellent anti-corrosion performance.At the molecular level,the conjugation characteristics and adsorption mechanism of Aph molecule were studied using two levels of theory as follows.First,Localized orbit locator(LOL)-πisosurface,electrostatic potential(ESP)distribution,and average local ionization energy(ALIE)on the molecular surface were used to highlight localization region,reveal the favorable electrophilic and nucleophilic attacks,and clearly explore the type of interactions that occurred around interesting regions.Second,first-principles based on density functional theory(DFT)was applied to study the hybrid mechanism of Aph on LDH system and elucidate their mutual interactions.The experimental and computational analyses suggest that the highπ-electron density and delocalization characteristics of the functional groups and benzene ring in the Aph molecule played a leading role in the synergistic effects arising from the combination of organic and inorganic coatings.This work provides a promising approach to design advanced hybrid materials with exceptional electrochemical performance.

Colorless to black switching with high contrast ratio via the electrochemical process of a hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite

Colorless‐to‐black switching has attracted widespread attention for smart windows and multifunctional displays because they are more useful to control solar energy.However,it still remains a challenge owing to the tremendous difficulties in the design of completely reverse absorptions in transmissive and colored states.Herein,we report on an electrochemical device that can switch between colorless and black by using the electrochemical process of hybrid organic–inorganic perovskite MAPbBr_(3),which shows a high integrated contrast ratio of up to 73%from 400 to 800 nm.The perovskite solution can be used as the active layer to assemble the device,showing superior transmittance over the entire visible region in neutral states.By applying an appropriate voltage,the device undergoes reversible switching between colorless and black,which is attributed to the formation of lead and Br_(2)in the redox reaction induced by the electron transfer process in MAPbBr_(3).In addition,the contrast ratio can be modulated over the entire visible region by changing the concentration and the applied voltage.These results contribute toward gaining an insightful understanding of the electrochemical process of perovskites and greatly promoting the development of switchable devices.

Organic?inorganic hybrid coating on the surface of aluminum-tube used in refrigeration equipment using cerium ion (III) as the additive was fabricated by sol?gel method, and the structure of the coating was confirmed by FT-IR. The results of the characterization show that the corrosion resistance of the coating with 1.5 mmol/L cerium ion (III) gains significant improvement, in which the colour retention time of CuSO4 extends to 500 s, the anti-acid and alkali corrosion rates reduce by 67% and 70% compared with the blank one, respectively, and the salt spray tests also show good corrosion resistance. The electrochemical tests demonstrate that the self-corrosion current density and potential of the sample with hybrid coating are about 2.877×10?7 A/cm2 and?0.550 V, respectively. The metallographic and SEM images show that the hybrid coating is uniform and dense, and the EDS analysis confirms that the coating is mainly composed of Al, Si and Ce elements.

Synthesis and Characterization of Poly(St-co-BA) Latex with an Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Compound as Emulsifier

A poly (St-co-BA) latex was successfully synthesized by using an organic-inorganic hybrid compound (OIHC), an aliphatic carboxylate sodium/nano-silica composite, as the emulsifier, and investigated by particle size analyzer, transmission electron microscope (TEM), optical contact angle measurement (OCA) and dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). It was found that the protective agent, sodium polyacrylate (PA),could obviously improve the polymerization stability and the functional monomer, glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), could enhance the store stability of the latex. The particle size of poly(St-co-BA) latex decreased and then leveled off as OIHC content increased. TEM shows that the prepared polymers were actually organic-inorganic nanocomposites, and these films have better waterproof property than those prepared by traditional poly(St-co-BA) latex or organic silicone modified poly(St-co-BA) latex. The nanocomposite polymer has much higher glass transition temperature than organic silicone modified poly(St-co-BA) polymer containing the same organic silicone content.

Giant magneto field effect in up-conversion amplified spontaneous emission via spatially extended states in organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites

Up-conversion lasing actions are normally difficult to realize in light-emitting materials due to small multi-photon absorp-tion cross section and fast dephasing of excited states during multi-photon excitation.This paper reports an easily ac-cessible up-conversion amplified spontaneous emission(ASE)in organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites(MAPbBr3)films by optically exciting broad gap states with sub-bandgap laser excitation.The broad absorption was optimized by adjust-ing the grain sizes in the MAPbBr3 films.At low sub-bandgap pumping intensities,directly exciting the gap states leads to 2-photon,3-photon,and 4-photon up-conversion spontaneous emission,revealing a large optical cross section of multi-photon excitation occurring in such hybrid perovskite films.At moderate pumping intensity(1.19 mJ/cm2)of 700 nm laser excitation,a significant spectral narrowing phenomenon was observed with the full width at half maximum(FWHM)de-creasing from 18 nm to 4 nm at the peak wavelength of 550 nm,simultaneously with a nonlinear increase on spectral peak intensity,showing an up-conversion ASE realized at low threshold pumping fluence.More interestingly,the up-con-version ASE demonstrated a giant magnetic field effect,leading to a magneto-ASE reaching 120%.In contrast,the up-conversion photoluminescence(PL)showed a negligible magnetic field effect(<1%).This observation provides an evid-ence to indicate that the light-emitting states responsible for up-conversion ASE are essentially formed as spatially exten-ded states.The angular dependent spectrum results further verify the existence of spatially extended states which are polarized to develop coherent in-phase interaction.Clearly,using broad gap states with spatially extended light-emitting states presents a new approach to develop up-conversion ASE in organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites.

Recent Advances in Organic-inorganic Hybrid Photoresists

Photoresists are radiation-sensitive materials used for forming patterns to build up IC devices.To date,most photoresists have been based on organic polymers,which have been dominating the semiconductor industries over the past few decades.It is obvious that extreme ultraviolet(EUV)lithography has become the next-generation lithography technology.The development of comprehensive performance EUV resist is one of the most critical issues.However,organic polymeric photoresists are difficult to meet the harsh requirements of EUV lithography.Pure inorganic photoresists such as metal salts,hydrogen silsesquioxane(HSQ)are expected for EUV lithography due to their high resistance and high resolution.But the low sensitivity makes them not suitable for high volume manufacturing(HVM).Organic-inorganic hybrid photoresists,containing both organic and inorganic components,are regarded as one of the most promising EUV resists.They combine both merits of organic and inorganic materials and have significant advantages in machinability,etching resistance,EUV absorption,and chemical/thermal stability.Organic-inorganic hybrid photoresists are considered as ideal materials for realizing industrialgrade patterns below 10 nm.This review mainly focuses on the development of organic-inorganic hybrid photoresists over the past decade.

Resilient performance of self-centering hybrid rocking walls with curved interface under pseudo-static loading

Frame and rocking wall(FRW)structures have excellent resilient performance during earthquakes.However,the concrete at interfacial corners of rocking walls(RWs)is easily crushed due to local extreme compression during the rocking process.An innovative RW with a curved interface is proposed to prevent interfacial corners from producing local damage,enhancing its earthquake resilient performance(ERP).The precast wall panel with a curved interface is assembled into an integral self-centering hybrid rocking wall(SCRW)by two post-tensioned unbonded prestressed tendons.Moreover,two ordinary energy dissipation steel rebars and two shear reinforcements are arranged to increase the energy dissipation capacity and lateral resistance.Two SCRW specimens and one monolithic reinforced concrete(RC)shear wall(SW)were tested under pseudo-static loading to compare the ERPs of the proposed SCRW and the SW,focusing on studying the effect of the curved interface on the SCRW.The key resilient performance of rocking effects,failure modes,and hysteretic properties of the SCRW were explored.The results show that nonlinear deformations of the SCRW are concentrated along the interface between the SCRW and the foundation,avoiding damage within the SCRW.The restoring force provided by the prestressed tendons can effectively realize self-centering capacity with small residual deformation,and the resilient performance of the SCRW is better than that of monolithic SW.In addition,the curved interface of the SCRW makes the rocking center change and move inward,partially relieving the stress concentration and crush of concrete.The rocking range of the rocking center is about 41.4%of the width of the SCRW.
