Signal de-noising method based on wavelet decomposition

A noise reduction method for infrared detector output signal is studied during dynamic calibration of thermocou- pie. Firstly, the deficiency of the classical filter method is analyzed and the application of the wavelet analysis is introduced for signal de-noising during the dynamic testing. Secondly, the theoretical basis of wavelet analysis, the choice of wavelet base and the determination of decomposed series and threshold are analyzed. Finally, the de-noising experiment for infrared detector signal is carried out on the Matlab platform. The results indicate the proposed wavelet de-noising method is effective to remove fixed frequency and high-frequency noise; furthermore, good synchronization is achieved between the de-noised signal and the useful signal components in the original signal, which is of great significance to thermocouple modeling analys- is.

Influence of pyrolysis temperature on ferroelectric properties of La and Mn co-doped BiFeO_3 thin films

Bi0.9La0.1Fe0.95Mn0.05O3 （BLFMO） ferroelectric thin films were fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si/ substrates by the sol-gel process at different pyrolysis temperatures. The mass loss of BLFMO powder was investigated by thermo gravimetry analyser （TGA）, and the polycrystalline structure and smooth surface of BLFMO thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD） and atomic force microscopy （AFM）, respectively. The remnant polarization （Pr） of the BLFMO films pyrolyzed at 420 ℃ is 21.2 μC/cm2 at the coercive field （Ec） of 99 kV/cm and the leakage current density is 7.1×10-3 A/cm2, which indicates that the BLFMO thin films display relatively good ferroelectric property at this temperature.

Delayed Ionization and Delayed Detachment in Molecules and Clusters

The evolution of a molecular system excited above its ionization threshold depends on a number of parameters that include the nature of the excited states and their couplings to the various continua. The general nature of the processes governing this evolution depends also essentially on the complexity of the molecule, more precisely on its size, density of states, and strength of the couplings among the various internal degrees of freedom. In this paper we address the question of the transition between autoionization that prevails in small molecules, and delayed ionization occurring in larger molecules or clusters. This transition is illustrated by autoionization of Na2 Rydberg states on one hand, delayed ionization in fullerene C60, and delayed detachment in small cluster anions on the other hand. All processes are studied in the case of nanosecond laser excitation, corresponding to a rather slow deposition of the internal energy.

Thermodynamic analysis on the direct preparation of metallic vanadium from NaVO_3 by molten salt electrolysis

A novel and environmentally friendly route to directly prepare metallic vanadium from NaV03 by molten salt electrolysis is proposed. The feasibility about the direct electro-reduction of NaV03 to metallic vanadi- um is analyzed based on the thermodynamic calculations and experimental verifications. The theoretical decomposition voltage of NaV03 to metallic vanadium is only 0.47 V at 800 ℃ and much lower than that of the alkali and alkali earth metal chloride salts. The value is slightly higher than that of low-valence vanadium oxides such as V203, V305 and VO. However, the low-valence vanadium oxides can he further electro-reduced to metallic vanadium thermodynamically. The thermodynamic analysis is verified by the experimental results. The direct preparation of metallic vanadium from NaV03 by molten salt electrolysis is feasible.

Combustion Synthesis of La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 and Its Effect on HMX Thermal Decomposition

Perovskite-type La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 was prepared by stearic acid gel combustion method.The obtained powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR),scaning electron micrograph(SEM)and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)techniques.The catalytic activity of La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 was investigated on thermal decomposition of octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX)by thermal gravity-differential scanning calorimetry(TG-DSC)techniques.The experimental results show that La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 is an effective catalyst for HMX thermal decomposition.The surface-adsorbed species such as H2O,OH - and adsorbed oxygen(Oad)could result in an advance in the onset temperature of HMX thermal decomposition.The mixture system of Mn 3+ and Mn 4+ ions and lattice oxygen could play key roles for the increase of the decomposition heat of HMX because these exothermic reactions could be catalyzed by La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 between CO and NOx(from the thermal decomposition of HMX)and the oxidation reaction of CO.According to the previous researches and our results,perovskite-type La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 may be used as a novel catalyst or modifier for nitrate ester plasticized polyether(NEPE)propellant.

Preparation of basic magnesium carbonate and its thermal decomposition kinetics in air

The thermal decomposition process of basic magnesium carbonate was investigated. Firstly, Basic magnesium carbonate was prepared from magnesite, and the characteristics of the product were detected by X-ray diffraction （XRD） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. Subsequently, the thermal decomposition process of basic magnesium carbonate in air was studied by thermogravimetry-differential thermogravimetry （TG-DTG）. The results of XRD confirm that the chemical composition of basic magnesium carbonate is 4MgCO3·Mg（OH）2·4H2O. And the SEM images show that the sample is in sheet structure, with a diameter of 0.1-1 μm. The TG-DTG results demonstrate that there are two steps in the thermal decomposition process of basic magnesium carbonate. The apparent activation energies （E） were calculated by Flyrm-Wall-Ozawa method. It is obtained from Coats-Redfem＇s equation and Malek method that the mechanism functions of the two decomposition stages are D3 and A1.5, respectively. And then, the kinetic equations of the two steps were deduced as well.

Influence of Tin Doping on the Photocatalytic Activity of Zinc Oxide Thin Films under UV Light

Pure ZnO and Sn-doped ZnO thin films were successfully prepared by the spray pyrolysis method onto glass substrates. The obtained films were characterized by XRD （X-ray diffraction）, SEM （scanning electron microscopy） and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. The XRD results showed that the FWHM of Sn-doped ZnO film increased due to the substitution of Sn for Zn, the tin doping within the film causes the ZnO crystallinity to deteriorate. The grains of the film doped with Sn using dibutyltin diacetate were found to be non-uniform distribution through the sample but those appeared to form ganglia-like hills in the case of pure ZnO film. Furthermore, the Sn-doped ZnO films were tested with respect to the photocatalysis in aqueous solutions of MG （malachite green） upon UV-light illumination and in darkness. It was found that Sn-doped ZnO films prepared under specific conditions showed a lower photocatalytic activity than that of pure ZnO films.

Synthesis and Characterization of Modified Epoxy Resins by Silicic Acid Tetraethyl Ester and Nano-SiO_2

A kind of modified epoxy resins was obtained by condensation of epoxy resin with silicic acid tetraethyl ester（TEOS） and nano-SiO2. The reactions were performed with hydrochloric acid as a catalyst at 63 ℃. The structure, thermal stability and morphological characteristics of the modified epoxy resins were studied through infrared spectra（FT-IR） analysis, thermogravimetric（TG） analysis and scanning electron microscopy respectively. It has been found from the IR and TG study that modified epoxy resins have greater thermal stability than epoxy resins, and its thermal stability has been improved by the formation of inter-crosslinked network structure. The modified epoxy resins exhibit heterogeneous morphology and heterogeneity increases with more TEOS feeding, which in turn confirms the formation of inter-crosslinked network structure in modified epoxy resins.

Controlling metallic Co^(0) in ZIF-67-derived N-C/Co composite catalysts for efficient photocatalytic CO_(2) reduction

An efficient photocatalytic CO_(2) reduction has been reported in ZIF-67-derived-Co nanoparticles(NPs)encapsulated in nitrogen-doped carbon layers(N-C/Co).This work demonstrates that the pyrolysis temperature is crucial in tuning the grain size and components of metallic Co^(0) of N-C/Co composite catalysts,which optimizes their photocatalytic activities.Syntheses were conducted at 600,700,and 800℃ giving the N-C/Co-600,N-C/Co-700,and N-C/Co-800 samples,respectively.N-C layers can well wrap the Co NPs obtained at a low pyrolysis temperature(600℃)owing to their smaller grains than those of other samples.A high metallic Co^(0) content in the N-C/Co-600 sample can be attributed to the effective inhibition of surface oxidation.By contrast,the surface CoOx oxides in the N-C/Co-700 and N-C/Co-800 samples cover inside Co cores,inhibiting charge separation and transfer.As a result,the N-C/Co-600 sample yields the best photocatalytic activity.The carbon monoxide and hydrogen generation rates are as high as 1.62×10^(4) and 2.01×10^(4)μmol g^(−1)h^(−1),respectively.Additionally,the Co NPs make composite catalysts magnetic,enabling rapid and facile recovery of catalysts with the assistance of an external magnetic field.This work is expected to provide an instructive guideline for designing metal-organic framework-derived carbon/metal composite catalysts.

N-doped defective carbon with trace Co for efficient rechargeable liquid electrolyte-/all-solid-state Zn-air batteries

Simple synthesis of multifunctional electrocatalysts with plentiful active sites from earth-abundant materials is especially fascinating. Here, N-doped defective carbon with trace Co （1.5 wt%） was prepared via a scalable one pot solid pyrolysis process. The sample exhibits efficient bifunctional OER/ORR activiW in alkaline, mainly ascribed to the unique micro-mesoporous structure （1-3 nm）, high population of graphitic-N doping （up to 49.0%）, abundant defects and the encapsulated Co nanoparticles with graphitized carbon. The according rechargeahle liquid Zn-air batteries showed excellent performance （maximum power density of 154.0 mWcm-2： energy density of 773Wh kg -1 at 5 mAcm 2 and charging-discharging cycling stability over 100 cycles）. As a proof-of-concept, the flexible, rechargeable all-solid-state Zn-air batteries were constructed, and displayed a maximum power density as high as 45.9 mW cm 2 among the top level of those reported previously.

An integrated thermoelectric-assisted photoelectrochemical system to boost water splitting

Common solar-driven photoelectrochemical(PEC) cells for water splitting were designed by using semiconducting photoactive materials as working photoelectrodes to capture sunlight. Due to the thermodynamic requirement of 1.23 eV and kinetic energy loss of about 0.6 eV, a photo-voltage of 1.8 V produced by PEC cells is generally required for spontaneous water splitting. Therefore, the minimum bandgap of1.8 eV is demanded for photoactive materials in single-photoelectrode PEC cells, and the bandgap of about 1 eV for back photoactive materials is appropriate in tandem PEC cells. All these PEC cells cannot effectively utilize the infrared light from 1250 to 2500 nm. In order to realize the full spectrum utilization of solar light, here, we develop a solar-driven PEC water splitting system integrated with a thermoelectric device. The key feature of this system is that the thermoelectric device produces a voltage as an additional bias for the PEC system by using the temperature difference between the incident infrared-light heated aqueous electrolyte in the PEC cell as the hot source and unirradiated external water as the cold source. Compared to a reference PEC system without the thermoelectric device, this system has a significantly improved overall water splitting activity of 1.6 times and may provide a strategy for accelerating the application of full spectrum solar light-driven PEC cells for hydrogen production.

Magnetization of microorganism cells by thermal decomposition method

The bio-limited forming technology, a new technology organically integrating microbiology, manufacturing science and materials science, is used in the manufacturing of magnetic or conductive microstructures of different standard shapes. This paper explores the feasibility of magnetizing microorganism with thermal decomposition method. The principle of thermal decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl has been adopted to investigate the cells of Spirulina (a type of nature micro-helical microorganism) coated with pure iron. Further analysis have been conducted on the observations results of hollow micro-helical magnetic particles form, components and the phase structure obtained by using various tools including optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray detector (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). Results showed that Spirulina cells could be coated with iron particles after the completion of thermal decomposition process, with well-kept shape of natural helixes and consistent components of different sampling points on the surface layer and thickness of layer. After the heat treatment at 700°C, the type of the surface iron layer formed was α-Fe. The paper also investigates the kinetics of the cell magnetization technology by thermal decomposition.

Ash-free coal as fuel for direct carbon fuel cell

This work describes the performance of the direct carbon fuel cell(DCFC)fuelled by ash-free coal.Employing coal in the DCFC might be problematic,mainly because of the ash deposition after the cell reactions.In the study,the carbonaceous ash-free component of coal is obtained,which is then evaluated as the DCFC fuel and compared with raw coal,active carbon,carbon black,and graphite.The electrolyte-supported SOFC structure is adapted to build the DCFC.The DCFC based on the ash-free coal fuel exhibits good performance with regard to the maximum power density,day-by-day measurements,and durability at continuous run.When the carbon fuels are internally gasified to H2 and CO,the power density is generally much improved,compared to N2 pyrolysis environment.The power generation is most likely related to the concentration of pyrolyzed gases as well as the electrochemical reactivity of the solid carbon.
