Strong electronic coupling of CoNi and N-doped-carbon for efficient urea-assisted H2 production at a large current density

Exploiting efficient urea oxidation reaction(UOR)and hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)catalysts are significant for energy-saving H2 production through urea-assisted water electrolysis,but it is still challenging.Herein,carbon-encapsulated CoNi coupled with CoNiMoO(CoNi@CN-CoNiMoO)is prepared by solvothermal method and calcination to enhance the activity/stability of urea-assisted water electrolysis at large current density.It exhibits good activity for UOR(E10/1,000=1.29/1.40 V)and HER(E-10/-1000=-45/-245 mV)in 1.0 M KOH+0.5 M urea solution.For the UOR||HER system,CoNi@CN-CoNiMoO only needs 1.58 V at 500 mA cm-2 and shows good stability.Density functional theory calculation suggests that the strong electronic interaction at the interface between NiCo alloy and N-doping-carbon layers can optimize the adsorption/desorption energy of UOR/HER intermediates and accelerate the water dissociation,which can expedite urea decomposition and Volmer step,thus increasing the UOR and HER activity,respectively.This work provides a new solution to design UOR/HER catalysts for H2 production through urea-assisted water electrolysis.

Electrical Performance Study of a Large Area Multicrystalline Silicon Solar Cell Using a Current Shunt and a Micropotentiometer

In this paper, a new technique using a Current Shunt and a Micropotentiometer has been used to study the electrical performance of a large area multicrystalline silicon solar cell at outdoor conditions. The electrical performance is mainly described by measuring both cell short circuit current and open circuit voltage. The measurements of this cell by using multimeters suffer from some problems because the cell has high current intensity with low output voltage. So, the solar cell short circuit current values are obtained by measuring the voltage developed across a known resistance Current Shunt. Samples of the obtained current values are accurately calibrated by using a Micropotentiometer (μpot) thermal element (TE) to validate this new measuring technique. Moreover, the solar cell open circuit voltage has been measured. Besides, the cell output power has been calculated and can be correlated with the measured incident radiation.

Temperature Effects on the Electrical Performance of Large Area Multicrystalline Silicon Solar Cells Using the Current Shunt Measuring Technique

The temperature effects on the electrical performance of a large area multicrystalline silicon solar cell with back-contact technology have been studied in a desert area under ambient conditions using the current shunt measuring technique. Therefore, most of the problems encountered with traditional measuring techniques are avoided. The temperature dependency of the current shunt from 5oC up to 50oC has been investigated. Its temperature coefficient proves to be negligible which means that the temperature dependency of the solar cell is completely independent of the current shunt. The solar module installed in a tilted position at the optimum angle of the location, has been tested in two different seasons (winter and summer). The obtained solar cell short circuit current, open circuit voltage and output power are correlated with the measured incident radiation in both seasons and all results are discussed.

Study on scour around vertical large-size cylinder base due to combined action of wave and current

Based on the mechanism of local scour around vertical large-sized cylinder due to combined action of wave and current,the sour morphology,scour process and the maximum scour depth around the cylinders are studied experimentally.The influence of various ocean environmental parameters on local scour around the cylinder is considered in physical model test.The experimental results indicate that the principal effect factors on the scour in fine-sand seabed are wave height,wavelength,current velocity,ratio of diameter to wavelength and ratio of depth to wavelength when the ratio of cylinder diameter to wavelength is from 0.2 to 0.8.In this paper,dimensional analysis theory is utilized to establish a theoretical equation for forecasting maximum scour depth around large-sized round cylinder base due to the combined action of wave and current.The results computed with the theoretical equation are compared with the experimental results,and found to be in good consistency.The results in this studies can be used to estimate the maximum sour depth around analogous structures.

Controllable synthesis of a self-assembled ultralow Ru,Ni-doped Fe_(2)O_(3) lily as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for large-current-density alkaline seawater electrolysis

Highly efficient and stable bifunctional electrocatalysts that can be used for large-current-density electrolysis of alkaline seawater are highly desirable for carbon-neutral economies,but their facile and controllable synthesis remains a challenge.Here,self-assembled ultralow Ru,Ni-doped Fe_(2)O_(3) with a lily shaped morphology was synthesized on iron foam(RuNi-Fe_(2)O_(3)/IF)via a facile one-step hydrothermal process,in which the intact lily shaped RuNi-Fe_(2)O_(3)/IF was obtained by adjusting the ratio of Ru/Ni.Benefitting from the Ru/Ni chemical substitution,the as-synthesized RuNi-Fe_(2)O_(3)/IF can act as free-standing dual-function electrodes that are applied to electrocatalysis for the hydrogen evolution(HER)and oxygen evolution reactions(OER)in 1.0 mol L^(-1) KOH,requiring an overpotential of 75.0 mV to drive 100 mA cm^(-2) for HER and 329.0 mV for OER.Moreover,the overall water splitting catalyzed by RuNi-Fe_(2)O_(3)/IF only demands ultralow cell voltages of 1.66 and 1.73 V to drive 100 mA cm^(-2) in 1.0 mol L^(-1) KOH and 1.0 mol L^(-1) KOH seawater electrolytes,respectively.The electrodes show remarkable long-term durability,maintaining current densities exceeding 100 mA cm^(-2) for more than 100 h and thus outperforming the two-electrode system composed of noble catalysts.This work provides an efficient,economical method to synthesize self-standing bifunctional electrodes for large-current-density alkaline seawater electrolysis,which is of significant importance for ecological protection and energy exploitation.

Saturation Ion Current Densities in Inductively Coupled Hydrogen Plasma Produced by Large-Power Radio Frequency Generator

An experimental investigation of the saturation ion current densities （Jions） in hydrogen inductively coupled plasma （ICP） produced by a large-power （2-32 kW） radio frequency （RF） generator is reported, then some reasonable explanations are given out. With the increase of RF power, the experimental results show three stages： in the first stage （2-14 kW）, the electron temperature will rise with the increase of RF power in the ICP, thus, the Jions increases continually as the electron temperature rises in the ICP. In the second stage （14 20 kW）, as some H- ions lead to the mutual neutralization （MN）, the slope of Jio^s variation firstly decreases then increases. In the third stage （20-32 kW）, both the electronic detachment （ED） and the associative detachment （AD） in the ICP result in the destruction of H- ions, therefore, the increased amplitude of the Jions in the third stage is weaker than the one in the first stage. In addition, with the equivalent transformer model, we successfully Explain that the Jions at different radial locations in ICP has the same rule. Finally, it is found that the Jions has nothing to do with the outer/inner puffing gas pressure ratio, which is attributed to the high-speed movement of hydrogen molecules.

Heterophase junction engineering-induced Co spin-state modulation of CoSe_(2) for large-current hydrogen evolution reaction

Efficient electrocatalysts are vital to large-current hydrogen production in commercial water splitting for green energy generation.Herein,a novel heterophase engineering strategy is described to produce polymorphic CoSe_(2)electrocatalysts.The composition of the electrocatalysts consisting of both cubic CoSe_(2)(c-CoSe_(2))and orthorhombic CoSe_(2)(o-CoSe_(2))phases can be controlled precisely.Our results demonstrate that junction-induced spin-state modulation of Co atoms enhances the adsorption of intermediates and accelerates charge transfer resulting in superior large-current hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)properties.Specifically,the CoSe_(2)based heterophase catalyst with the optimal c-CoSe_(2)content requires an overpotential of merely 240 mV to achieve 1,000 mA·cm^(-2)as well as a Tafel slope of 50.4 mV·dec^(-1).Furthermore,the electrocatalyst can maintain a large current density of 1,500 mA·cm^(-2)for over 320 h without decay.The results reveal the advantages and potential of heterophase junction engineering pertaining to design and fabrication of low-cost transition metal catalysts for large-current water splitting.

Numerical multi-physical optimization of operating condition and current collecting setup for large-area solid oxide fuel cells

Due to the depletion of traditional fossil fuels and the aggravation of related environmental problems,hydrogen energy is gaining more attention all over the world.Solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC)is a promising power generation technology operating on hydrogen with a high efficiency.To further boost the power output of a single cell and thus a single stack,increasing the cell area is an effective route.However,it was recently found that further increasing the effective area of an SOFC single cell with a flat-tubular structure and symmetric double-sided cathodes would result in a lower areal performance.In this work,a multi-physical model is built to study the effect of the effective area on the cell performance.The distribution of different physical fields is systematically analyzed.Optimization of the cell performance is also pursued by systematically tuning the cell operating condition and the current collection setup.An improvement of 42%is revealed by modifying the inlet gas flow rates and by enhancing the current collection.In the future,optimization of cell geometry will be performed to improve the homogeneity of different physical fields and thus to improve the stability of the cell.

Observational Features of Large-Scale Structures as Revealed by the Catastrophe Model of Solar Eruptions

Large-scale magnetic structures are the main carrier of major eruptions in the solar atmosphere. These structures are rooted in the photosphere and are driven by the unceasing motion of the photospheric material through a series of equilibrium configurations. The motion brings energy into the coronal magnetic field until the system ceases to be in equilibrium. The catastrophe theory for solar eruptions indicates that loss of mechanical equilibrium constitutes the main trigger mechanism of major eruptions, usually shown up as solar flares, eruptive prominences, and coronal mass ejections （CMEs）. Magnetic reconnection which takes place at the very beginning of the eruption as a result of plasma instabilities/turbulence inside the current sheet, converts magnetic energy into heating and kinetic energy that are responsible for solar flares, and for accelerating both plasma ejecta （flows and CMEs） and energetic particles. Various manifestations are thus related to one another, and the physics behind these relationships is catastrophe and magnetic reconnection. This work reports on recent progress in both theoretical research and observations on eruptive phenomena showing the above manifestations. We start by displaying the properties of large-scale structures in the corona and the related magnetic fields prior to an eruption, and show various morphological features of the disrupting magnetic fields. Then, in the framework of the catastrophe theory, we look into the physics behind those features investigated in a succession of previous works, and discuss the approaches they used.

波流环境中多孔射流三维数值模拟

建立了波流环境中多孔射流的三维大涡数学模型,探讨了波流共同作用下多孔射流的扩散和稀释机制,分析了孔间距对双孔射流、射流与环境水体相互作用的影响,并给出了最优相对孔间距。模拟结果表明:在波谷相位时刻,由于横流与波浪相互作用强烈,流场内的三维涡旋结构丰富、尺度较大、数目众多,有利于射流与环境水体、射流与射流之间的掺混,这是波流环境比单一横流环境中多孔射流运动扩散效果更佳的主要原因;随着孔间距的增大,双孔射流之间的相互作用慢慢削弱,而射流与环境水体之间的相互作用却在不断增强;双孔射流在孔间距为7.0倍管口直径时扩散效果最好。

Fe稳固的FeOOH@NiOOH电催化剂的大电流极化设计与析氧研究

电解水技术是制取高纯度氢气的有效途径,为传统的氢气生产提供了一种可持续的替代方案.其中,开发性能优异的电催化材料是降低电解水制氢成本的关键.析氧反应(OER)由于涉及多个电子转移而导致的动力学缓慢,是克服高过电位的主要挑战.镍铁羟基/氢氧化物(NiFe(oxy)hydroxides)是近期研究的热点,其在碱性条件下具有极低的OER过电位,部分材料性能甚至超过了贵金属基催化剂,如IrO_(2)和RuO_(2).然而,NiFe(oxy)hydroxides的长期催化稳定性,尤其是在大电流下的长期催化稳定性,成为限制其实际应用的主要问题,这主要是由于铁元素的严重流失导致的.因此,如何有效控制和利用电化学溶解/沉积动力学成为稳定铁位点的关键.为克服该挑战,本文提出了一种大电流极化重构方法来固定活性铁位点.通过在大电流(1.5 A cm^(-2))下对材料进行表面快速极化重构,成功制备了FeOOH@NiOOH(eFNO_(L))电催化剂.eFNO_(L)不仅具有稳定的铁位点,还暴露出高指数晶面,因此eFNO_(L)同时展现出较好的OER催化活性和稳定性.同时,密度泛函理论计算结果表明,与具有低指数晶面的FeNiOOH相比,大电流极化工程制备的分相eFNO_(L)对铁位点表现出更高的结合能,可以有效抑制OER过程中的铁流失,且高指数晶面在改变速率决定步骤和减少吸附能垒上具有更大的优势.电化学测试结果表明,经过优化后的eFNO_(L)催化剂在产生100和500 mA cm^(-2)大电流密度仅需234和27 mV的过电位,并且具有较小的Tafel斜率(35.2 mV dec^(-1)).由于铁位点结合能的提高,eFNO_(L)催化剂在500 mA cm^(-2)的电流密度下能够稳定催化超过100 h,且仅有1.5%的性能衰减,优于近期报道的大多数镍铁基OER催化剂.综上,本文为开发高活性和高稳定性能的催化剂提供了一种有效的大电流电化学重构策略,在电解水制氢领域实现其工业化的大规模应用方面显示出巨大潜力,有望降低可持续电解水制氢成本.

构筑非晶/晶体NiFe-MOF@NiS异质结构催化剂增强大电流密度下水/海水氧化

电化学水分解作为一种生产高纯度氢气的绿色技术,虽然前景广阔,但阳极析氧反应(OER)动力学缓慢,严重制约了其能量转换效率.目前,电化学水分解系统主要以淡水作为原料.然而,大规模使用淡水进行分解无疑会给淡水资源带来沉重负担.相比之下,占水资源总量96%以上的海水,因其丰富的储量,成为替代淡水的理想选择.然而,由于海水中含有大量的氯离子,会引发与OER的竞争性氯析出反应(ClER)形成次氯酸盐(ClO^(–)),导致活性位点失活,严重降低催化剂的活性和稳定性.因此,如何在利用海水进行电化学水分解的同时,有效抑制ClER的发生,是当前亟待解决的科学问题.在最新催化剂研究中,金属有机框架(MOF)凭借其高孔隙率、大比表面积和分散的活性位点,在电化学水分解中展现出良好的性能.然而,MOF的电子导电性和OER反应能垒受限于氧原子p轨道与金属原子d轨道间的电子云重叠.因此,设计MOF活性位点的电子结构,促进自发电子转移,对于提升导电性和OER效率至关重要.界面工程能优化MOF活性位点的电子结构,增强局部电荷再分配,从而提高OER活性.为满足工业高电流密度需求,构建富含缺陷的异质结构是关键,其能暴露更多OER活性位点,优化质量传递,缩短电子迁移路径.结合高导电、可调电子结构的NiS晶体相,构建MOF非晶/NiS晶体异质界面,可调控电子结构并加速电荷转移.目前,关于MOF基非晶/晶异质界面催化剂用于海水氧化的报道尚少,这一方向具有巨大潜力.本文通过两步法耦合策略,成功在泡沫镍基底上制备了NiFe-MOF@NiS异质结构催化剂.首先,利用硫温和改性腐蚀方法在泡沫镍基体生长晶相NiS纳米片;随后,通过电沉积处理在NiS表面生长非晶相NiFe-MOF纳米颗粒.理论计算结果表明,NiFe-MOF和NiS之间的电子相互作用可以加速电荷转移,有效调节金属位点的d带中心,从而优化含氧中间体的吸附能力.与NiFe-MOF和NiS相比,NiFe-MOF@NiS/NF催化剂对OOH*中间体的吸附能力更为突出,这大大降低了速率决定步骤(O*→OOH*)的反应能垒,为高效催化OER提供了理论支撑.实验结果表明,在1 mol L^(‒1)KOH和碱性海水电解液中,NiFe-MOF@NiS/NF催化剂仅需要346和355 mV的低过电位,即可驱动500 mA cm^(–2)的大电流密度.Tafel斜率和电化学阻抗谱的结果表明,该催化剂具有较好的OER动力学特征.此外,质量活性和转换频率结果表明,NiFe-MOF@NiS/NF催化剂展现出良好的本征催化活性.多步恒电流阶梯曲线以及在100和500 mA cm‒2电流密度下的计时电位曲线结果表明,NiFe-MOF@NiS/NF催化剂具有出色的长期稳定性.通过对在碱性海水电解液OER反应后的NiFe-MOF@NiS/NF催化剂进行表征发现,在OER过程中,NiS物种会在阳极电压下自重构形成硫酸盐膜,可以显著抑制Cl–离子在催化剂表面的吸附,使NiFe-MOF@NiS/NF催化剂在海水电解质中具有强大的耐腐蚀性.这一特性使得NiFe-MOF@NiS/NF催化剂在碱性KOH和碱性海水中均能保持较好的OER活性和稳定性,性能超过了商业RuO_(2)以及大多数报道的其他MOF基的催化剂.综上所述,本文通过简便易行的合成策略,制备了高性能的NiFe-MOF@NiS异质结催化剂,其表现出高效电解海水性能和稳定性.本工作为合理设计高活性、稳定性、选择性的MOF基抗氯腐蚀催化剂以提高碱性海水的OER性能提供了新视角.
