To find maximal VPD (MVPD) for anode-supported mtSOFC (as-mtSOFC), the effects of geometric parameters on VPD are analyzed and the anode thickness, tan, and the cathode length, lea, are identified as the key design parameters. Thermo-fluid electrochemical models were built to examine the dependence of the electrical output on the cell parameters. The multiphysics model is validated by reproducing the experimental I-V curves with no adjustable parameters. The optimal lea and the corresponding MVPDs are then determined by the multiphysics model for 20 combinations of rin, the inner tube radius, and tan. And all these optimization are made at 1073.15 K. The results show that: (i) significant performance improvement may be achieved by geometry optimization, (ii) the seemingly high MVPD of 11 and 14 W/cm^3 can be easily realized for as-mtSOFC with single- and double-terminal anode current collection, respectively. Moreover, the variation of the area specific power density with/cac(2 mm, 40 mm) is determined for three representative (tin, tan) combinations. Besides, it is demonstrated that the current output of mtSOFC with proper geometric parameters is comparable to that of planar SOFC.展开更多

Plastic thermocells that consist of all pliable materials such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), fabrics, and wires are flexible enough to be wearable on the human body and to be wrapped around cylindrical shapes. The performance of the thermocells is enhanced by incorporating carbon nanotubes into activated carbon textiles, due to improved charge transfer at the interface. In cold weather conditions (a surrounding temperature of 5 ℃), the thermocell generates a short-circuit current density of 0.39 A/m2 and maximum power density of 0.46 mW/m2 from body heat (temperature of 36℃). For practical use, we have shown that the thermocell charges up a capacitor when worn on a T-shirt by a person. We also have demonstrated that the electrical energy generated from waste pipe heat using a serial array of the thermocells and voltage converters can power a typical commercial light emitting diode (LED).展开更多

However, the practical application of Li-S batteries is still impeded due to the low utilization of sulfur and serious shuttle-effect of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs). Here, we fabricated the porous honeycomb-like C3N4 (PHCN) through a hard template method. As a polar material, graphitic C3N4 has abundant nitrogen content (-58%), which can provide enough active sites to mitigate shuttle-effect, and then conductive reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was introduced to combine with PHCN to form PHCN/rGO composite in order to improve the utilization efficiency of sulfur. After sulfur loading, the PHCN/rGO/S cathode exhibited an initial discharge capacity of 1,061.1 mA h g^-1 at 0.2 C and outstanding rate performance at high current density of 5 C (495.1 mA h g^-1), and also retained 519 mA h g^-1, after 400 cycles at 1 C. Even at high sulfur loading (4.3 mg cm^-2), the capacity fade rate was only 0.16% per cycle at 0.5 C for 200 cycles. The above results demonstrate that the special design of PHCN/rGO composite as sulfur host has high potential application for Li-S rechargeable batteries.展开更多

Using the magnetization hysteresis loops and Bean critical state model, a large critical current J s is observed in low temperature region. The critical current density is suppressed exponentially with increasing magnetic field.Temperature dependencies of resistivity under various currents and fields are measured, revealing a robust superconducting current density and bulk superconductivity.展开更多

Undoped green electroluminescent tandem organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs) with multiple identical emissive units and using buffer-modified C_(60)/pentacene organic semiconductor heterojunction(OHJ) as CGL are demonstrated to exhibit better current density and brightness, compared with conventional single-unit devices. The current density and brightness both can be significantly improved with increasing the thickness of Al. However, excessive thickness of Al seriously decreases the transmittance of films and damages the interface. As a result, the maximum current efficiency of 1.43 cd·A^(-1) at 30 mA ·cm^(-2) can be achieved for tandem OLEDs with optimal thickness of Al. These results clearly demonstrate that Cs_2CO_3/Al is an effective buffer for C_(60)/pentacene-based tandem OLEDs.展开更多

This review is to provide an overview of current progresses of GaN-based LEDs for light communications. The modulation bandwidth of GaN-based LEDs has been first improved by optimizing the LED epilayer structures and the modulation bandwidth of 73 MHz was achieved at the driving current density of 40 A/cm2 by changing the multi-quantum well structures. After that, in order to increase the current density tolerance, different parallel flip-chip micro-LED arrays were fabricated. With a high injected current density of ~7900 A/cm2, a maximum modulation bandwidth of ~227 MHz was obtained with optical power greater than 30 mW. Besides the increase of carrier concentrations, the radiative recombination coefficient B was also enhanced by modifying the photon surrounding environment based on some novel nanostructures such as resonant cavity, surface plasmon, and photonic crystals. The optical 3 dB modulation bandwidth of GaN-based nanostructure LEDs with Ag nanoparticles was enhanced by 2 times compared with GaN-based nanostructure LEDs without Ag nanoparticles.Our results demonstrate that using the QW-SP coupling can effectively help to enhance the carrier spontaneous emission rate and also increase the modulation bandwidth for LEDs, especially for LEDs with high intrinsic IQE. In addition, we discuss the progress of the faster color conversion stimulated by GaN-based LEDs.展开更多

Based on a specially designed electrolyte, porous silicon(PSi) layers with different porosities are possible to be produced on highly-doped n-type silicon substrate by varying the applied current density which determines the size and the morphology of pores. By applying an alternative current density modulation during anodization, porous silicon photonic crystals are obtained using HF-containing electrolyte without oxidizing components. The current burst model(CBM) is employed to interpret the mechanism of the formation of the macropore porous silicon.展开更多

Even at high sulfur loading (4.3 mg cm^-2), the capacity fade rate was only 0.16% per cycle at 0.5 C for 200 cycles. The above results demonstrate that the special design of PHCN/rGO composite as sulfur host has high potential application for Li-S rechargeable batteries.

文摘Betavoltaic radioisotope microbatteries have gradually become the research direction of micro-power sources because of their several advantages,including small scale,stable output performance,long service life,high energy density,strong anti-jamming capability,and so on.Based on the theory of semiconductor physics,the current paper presented a design scheme of isotope microbattery with wide-gap semiconductor material GaN and isotope 147Pm.In consideration of the isotope's self-absorption effect,the current paper studied and analyzed the optimization thickness of semiconductor and isotope source,junction depth,depletion region thickness,doping concentration,and the generation and collection of electron hole pairs with simulation of transport process of beta particles in semiconductor material using Monte Carlo simulation program MCNP.In the proposed design scheme,for a single decay,an average energy of 28.2 keV was deposited in the GaN,and the short circuit current density,open circuit voltage,and efficiency of a single device were 1.636 μA/cm2,3.16 V,and 13.4%,respectively.

文摘Tin selenides have been attracting great attention as anode materials for the state-of-the-art rechargeable sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)due to their high theoretical capacity and low cost.However,they deliver unsatisfactory performance in practice,owing to their intrinsically low conductivity,sluggish kinetics and volume expansion during the charge-discharge process.Herein,we demonstrate the synthesis of SnSe2 nanocrystals coupled with hierarchical porous carbon(SnSe2 NCs/C)microspheres for boosting SIBs in terms of capacity,rate ability and durability.The unique structure of SnSe2 NCs/C possesses several advantages,including inhibiting the agglomeration of SnSe2 nanoparticles,relieving the volume expansion,accelerating the diffusion kinetics of electrons/ions,enhancing the contact area between the electrode and electrolyte and improving the structural stability of the composite.As a result,the as-obtained SnSe2 NCs/C microspheres show a high reversible capacity(565 mA h g^-1 after 100 cycles at 100 mA g^-1),excellent rate capability,and long cycling life stability(363 mA h g^-1 at1 A g^-1 after 1000 cycles),which represent the best performances among the reported SIBs based on SnSe2-based anode materials.

文摘The construction of transition metal-based catalysts with high activity and stability has been widely regarded as a promising method to replace the precious metal Pt for oxygen reduction reaction(ORR).Herein,we synthesized CoFe alloy nanoparticle-embedded N-doped graphitic carbon(CoFe/NC)nanostructures as ORR electrocatalysts.The ZIF-67(zeolitic imidazolate framework,ZIF)nanocubes were first synthesized,followed by an introduction of Fe2+ions to form CoFe-ZIF precursors via a simple ion-exchange route.Subsequently,the CoFe/NC composites were synthesized through a facile pyrolysis strategy.The ORR activity and the contents of cobalt and iron could be effectively adjusted by controlling the solution concentration of Fe2+ions used for the ion exchange and the pyrolysis temperature.The CoFe/NC-0.2-900 composite(synthesized with 0.2 mmol of FeSO4·7H2O at a pyrolysis temperature of 900℃)exhibited ORR activity that was superior to the other samples owing to a synergistic effect of the bimetal,especially considering the extremely high limiting current density of 6.4 mA cm^-2 compared with that of Pt/C(5.1 mA cm^-2).Rechargeable Zn-air batteries were assembled employing CoFe/NC-0.2-900 and NiFeP/NF(NiFeP supported on nickel foam(NF))as the catalysts for the discharging and charging processes,respectively,The above materials achieved reduced discharging and charging platforms,high power density,and prolonged cycling stability compared with conventional Pt/C+RuO2/C catalysts.

文摘Buffer-modified C_(60)/pentacene as charge generation layer(CGL) is investigated to achieve effective performance of charge generation. Undoped green electroluminescent tandem organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs) with multiple identical emissive units and using buffer-modified C_(60)/pentacene organic semiconductor heterojunction(OHJ) as CGL are demonstrated to exhibit better current density and brightness, compared with conventional single-unit devices. The current density and brightness both can be significantly improved with increasing the thickness of Al. However, excessive thickness of Al seriously decreases the transmittance of films and damages the interface. As a result, the maximum current efficiency of 1.43 cd·A^(-1) at 30 mA ·cm^(-2) can be achieved for tandem OLEDs with optimal thickness of Al. These results clearly demonstrate that Cs_2CO_3/Al is an effective buffer for C_(60)/pentacene-based tandem OLEDs.

文摘Rapid improvement in the efficiency of GaN-based LEDs not only speed up its applications for general illumination, but offer the possibilities for data transmission. This review is to provide an overview of current progresses of GaN-based LEDs for light communications. The modulation bandwidth of GaN-based LEDs has been first improved by optimizing the LED epilayer structures and the modulation bandwidth of 73 MHz was achieved at the driving current density of 40 A/cm2 by changing the multi-quantum well structures. After that, in order to increase the current density tolerance, different parallel flip-chip micro-LED arrays were fabricated. With a high injected current density of ~7900 A/cm2, a maximum modulation bandwidth of ~227 MHz was obtained with optical power greater than 30 mW. Besides the increase of carrier concentrations, the radiative recombination coefficient B was also enhanced by modifying the photon surrounding environment based on some novel nanostructures such as resonant cavity, surface plasmon, and photonic crystals. The optical 3 dB modulation bandwidth of GaN-based nanostructure LEDs with Ag nanoparticles was enhanced by 2 times compared with GaN-based nanostructure LEDs without Ag nanoparticles.Our results demonstrate that using the QW-SP coupling can effectively help to enhance the carrier spontaneous emission rate and also increase the modulation bandwidth for LEDs, especially for LEDs with high intrinsic IQE. In addition, we discuss the progress of the faster color conversion stimulated by GaN-based LEDs.

文摘We present a novel electrochemical technique for the fabrication of nano-photonic crystal structures. Based on a specially designed electrolyte, porous silicon(PSi) layers with different porosities are possible to be produced on highly-doped n-type silicon substrate by varying the applied current density which determines the size and the morphology of pores. By applying an alternative current density modulation during anodization, porous silicon photonic crystals are obtained using HF-containing electrolyte without oxidizing components. The current burst model(CBM) is employed to interpret the mechanism of the formation of the macropore porous silicon.
