On-line detection of Cu(II) in bioleaching system by anodic stripping differential pulse voltammetry

On-line Cu （II） ion concentration detection in bioleaching system was achieved by anodic stripping differential pulse voltammetry （ASDPV）. Good linearity between Cu （II） concentration and oxidation peak current was obtained when Cu （II） existed in 0K media in the concentration range of 1μmol/L （64μg/L） to 1 mmol/L （64 mg/L）. Moreover, when 0.2 mol/L KCl was added into this media, the linear detection range could be extended from 1 mmol/L to 100 mmol/L （6.4 g/L）. The reduction of Cu （II） to metallic copper was shown to proceed as two successive single-electron transfer reactions involving an intermediate chemical step where the cuprous ion （Cu＋） was complexed by chloride to form the dichlorocuprous anion （CuCl-）. In addition, interference effect was also investigated when Fe3＋existed in the media, which was the common situation in the copper bioleaching system. The results showed no interference effect once the concentration of Fe3＋was less than 100 mmol/L （5.6 g/L）.

Preparation of Sb2O3/Sb2S3/FeOOH composite photoanodes for enhanced photoelectrochemical water oxidation

A novel Sb2O3/Sb2S3/FeOOH photoanode was fabricated via a simple solution impregnation method along with chemical bath deposition and post-sulfidation.The X-ray diffractometry,Raman measurement,and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy show that the Sb2O3/Sb2S3/FeOOH thin films are successfully prepared.SEM−EDS analyses reveal that the surface of Sb2O3/Sb2S3 thin films becomes rough after the immersion in the FeCl3 solution.The optimized impregnation time is found to be 8 h.The FeOOH co-catalyst loaded Sb2O3/Sb2S3 electrode exhibits an enhanced photocurrent density of 0.45 mA/cm2 at 1.23 V versus RHE under simulated 1 sun,which is approximately 1.41 times compared to the photocurrent density of the unloaded one.Through the further tests of UV−Vis spectroscopy,the electrochemical impedance spectra,and the PEC measurements,the enhancement can result from the increased light-harvesting ability,the decreased interface transmission impedance,and the remarkably enhanced carrier injection efficiency.

Stability and Drag Reduction in Transient Channel Flow of Fibre Suspension

Drag reduction features in the transition regime of channel flow with fibre suspension were analyzed in terms of the linear stability theory. The modified stability equation was obtained based on the slender-body theory and natural closure approximation. Results of the stability analysis show attenuating effects of fibre additives to the flow instability. For the cases leading to transition, drag reduction rate increases with the characteristic parameter H of fibres. The mechanism of drag reduction by fibres is revealed through the variation of velocity profile and the decrease of wall shear stress. The theoretical results are qualitatively consistent with some typical experiments.

Band gap modulation of nanostructured WO_(3) nanoplate film by Ti doping for enhanced photoelectrochemical performance

Despite being a promising photoanode material for water splitting,WO_(3) has low conductivity,high onset potential,and sluggish water oxidation kinetics.In this study,we designed Ti-doped WO_(3) nanoplate arrays on fluoride-doped tin oxide by a seed-free hydrothermal method,and the effects of doping on the photoelectrochemical performance were investigated.The optimal Ti-doped WO_(3) electrode achieved a photocurrent density of 0.53 mA/cm^(2) at 0.6 V(vs Ag/AgCl),110%higher than that of pure WO_(3) nanoplate arrays.Moreover,a significant cathodic shift in the onset potential was observed after doping.X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy valence band and ultraviolet–visible spectra revealed that the band positions of Ti-doped WO_(3) photoanodes moved upward,yielding a lower onset potential.Furthermore,electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements revealed that the conductivities of the WO_(3) photoanodes improved after doping,because of the rapid separation of photo-generated charge carriers.Thus,we report a new design route toward efficient and low-cost photoanodes for photoelectrochemical applications.

Composition-tunable ZnS1-xSex nanobelt solid solutions for efficient solar-fuel production

Band engineering based on the construction of solid solutions is an effective approach to enhance the efficiency of semiconductor photocatalysts, via which the balance between light absorption and driving force can be well achieved by continuously tuning the band structure. Here the ZnS1–xSex nanobelt solid solutions have been prepared via thermal treatment of ZnS1–xSex(en)0.5 precursors. The compositions are adjusted by changing the mole ratio of Se to S powder in the starting materials, resulting in continuously modulating the alignment of energy levels of the obtained solid solutions. The band structure is also studied via theoretical calculation. Accordingly, the light harvesting can be tuned too, as confirmed by the UV-vis absorption spectra. XPS valence spectra are used to determine the valence band maximum. Transient photoluminescence spectra are employed to study the separation of photogenerated charge carriers. BET specific surface area and CO2 adsorption isotherms of different catalysts are measured. The obtained ZnS1–xSex nanobelts exhibit different photocatalytic activity for solar-fuel production, dependent on many factors like the light harvesting and alignment of energy levels. The related mechanism is studied in detail.

Seasonal shifts in the solute ion ratios of vadose zone rock moisture from the Eel River Critical Zone Observatory

One of the greatest challenges in critical zone studies is to document the moisture dynamics, water flux,and solute chemistry of the unsaturated, fractured and weathered bedrock that lies between the soil and groundwater table. The central impediment to quantifying this component of the subsurface is the difficulty associated with direct observations. Here, we report solute chemistry as a function of depth collected over a full year across the shale-derived vadose zone of the Eel River Critical Zone Observatory using a set of novel sub-horizontal wellbores,referred to as the vadose zone monitoring system. The results of this first geochemical glimpse into the deep vadose zone indicate a dynamic temporal and depth-resolved structure. Major cation concentrations reflect seasonal changes in precipitation and water saturation, and normalized ratios span the full range of values reported for the world's largest rivers.

Dynamical Behavior of Core ^3He Nuclear Reaction-Diffusion Systems and Sun＇s Gravitational Field

The coupling of the sun's gravitational field with processes of diffusion and convection exerts a significant influence on the dynamical behavior of the core 3He nuclear reaction-diffusion system. Stability analyses of the system are made in this paper by using the theory of nonequilibrium dynamics. It is showed that, in the nuclear reaction regions extending from the center to about 0.38 times of the radius of the sun, the gravitational field enables the core 3He nuclear reaction-diffusion system to become unstable and, after the instability, new states to appear in the system have characteristic of time oscillation. This may change the production rates of both 7Be and 8B neutrinos.

Synergistic high efficiency and low energy loss of all-small-molecule organic solar cells based on benzotriazole-basedπ-bridge unit

Reducing energy loss(V_(loss))is one of the most crucial challenges in organic photovoltaic cells.The V_(loss),determined by the differences between the optical band gap(E_(g))of the active layer material and the open-circuit voltage(V_(oc))of the device,is generally alleviated by lowering the energy difference between the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital(LUMO)and highest occupied molecular orbital(HOMO)level of the donor(D)and acceptor(A).In this work,we synthesized two A-π-D-π-A-type small-molecule donors(SMDs)SM-benzotriazole(BTz)-1 and SM-BTz-2 by introducing a BTzπ-bridge unit and terminal regulation.The BTzπ-bridge unit significantly lowers the HOMO energy level of SMDs,resulting in high V_(oc)and high mobility,achieving a balance of low energy loss(<0.5 eV)and high efficiency.Ultimately,the organic solar cells based on SM-BTz-2 as the donor and Y6 as the acceptor obtain a high V_(oc)of 0.91 V,J_(sc) of 22.8 mA cm^(−2),fill factor of 68%,and power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 14.12%,which is one of the highest efficiencies based on the SMDs with triazoleπ-bridges to date.What’s more,the BTzπ-bridge unit is a potential unit that can improve mobility and reduce energy loss.

Drag-reduction of a nonionic surfactant aqueous solution and its rheological characteristics

In order to develop turbulent drag-reducing technology by using an environmentally friendly additive in a water-transporting system,the drag reducing characteristics in a non-ionic surfactant(Oleyldimethylamineoxide,ODMAO) dilute aqueous solution flowing in a circular pipe of 5 mm diameter have been experimentally investigated with an air-driven fluid resistance test device.The rheological characteristics of the solution have also been examined by a rheometer with a cone-plate flow cell.The results show that the ODMAO solutions are drag-reducing when concentration is 400 ppm or higher,that the critical Reynolds number corresponding to the maximum drag reduction rate increases with both concentration and temperature,and that the maximum drag reduction rate can reach up to 70% in the straight pipe.At low shear rates,the shear viscosity of ODMAO solutions with a relatively high drag-reduction behaves similarly to Newtonian fluids;at above a certain critical shear rate,it is firstly shear-thickening,then shear-thinning.Such shear-rate-dependent characteristics of the shear viscosity are attributed to the different transitions of micellar network structure induced by different shear rates.Relaxation of shear stress after removing an applied constant shear rate at which the solution is in the SIS(shear-induced structure) state is found to be well expressed by a 2-step Maxwell model with a tail relaxation time much shorter than that for a drag-reducing cationic surfactant,which indicates that for the ODMAO solution,a viscoelasticity as strong as a drag-reducing cationic surfactant is not needed to realize turbulent drag-reduction.

Assessing Soil Properties and Landforms in the Mai-Negus Catchment, Northern Ethiopia

Soil degradation is a serious environmental problem in Ethiopia. However, little information is documented on indicators such as variations in soil properties across different landforms in a catchment. This study was aimed to assess soil properties and their changes across sites with different erosion statuses, and identify landscape positions that require prior management attention in the Mai-Negus catchment, northern Ethiopia. Three types of erosion-status sites(stable, eroding and aggrading) were identified using reconnaissance surveys, and then the corresponding soil samples were collected and analyzed. The major soil properties were significantly varied(P ≤ 0.05) among the three erosion-status sites. The highest soil p H, organic carbon, total nitrogen, cation exchange capacity, iron and zinc were recorded from the aggrading sites in the reservoir and valley landforms of the study catchment. A higher bulk density was generally recorded in the eroding sites, whereas a lower value was observed in the aggrading sites. The highest sand content was observed in the eroding sites of the mountain followed by the central ridge landform. The paired mean difference and the correlation matrix of most soil properties between the different erosion statuses also showed significant differences. About 95% of the erosionstatus sites were correctly classified by the discriminant function, indicating that the field survey-based classification was acceptable for decision making. On the basis of this study, suitable interventions should thus be introduced to the prioritized landforms, which are the mountain and central ridge, and eroding sites with severely degraded soil properties across the catchment.

Retention and Mobility of Copper and Lead in Soils as Influenced by Soil Horizon Properties

The mobility and bioavailability of heavy metals in soils is largely governed by sorption and desorption phenomena.Cu2+ and Pb2+ are among the most potentially toxic heavy metals and they are present,often concomitantly,in many polluting spills and in agrochemicals.The objective was to assess and compare the competitive sorption and desorption capacities and sorption hysteresis of Cu2+ and Pb2+,as well as their migration through the profiles of four natural soils:a Humic Umbrisol,an Umbric Cambisol,an Endoleptic Luvisol and a Humic Cambisol.In all horizons Pb2+ was invariably sorbed and retained to a greater extent than Cu2+.The sorption and retention of Cu2+ were most in?uenced by pH,e?ective cation exchange capacity(CECe) and Mn oxide content.On the other hand,the fixation capacity of Pb2+ was most in?uenced by pH,CECe,and Mn oxide and organic matter contents.pH and CECe were the individual soil properties most markedly in?uencing Cu2+ and Pb2+ sorption and retention.In all the horizons Pb2+ exhibited greater hysteresis than Cu2+.In each soil the hysteresis in the A horizon was greater than that in the B horizon,except in the Bt horizon of the Endoleptic Luvisol,due to its high pH and vermiculite content.Based on migration indices,Pb2+ was less mobile than Cu2+ in the studied soils.

Study on device simulation and performance optimization of the epitaxial crystalline silicon thin film solar cell

Because crystalline silicon thin film （CSiTF） solar cells possess the advantages of crystalline silicon solar cells such as high ef- ficiency and stable performance and those of thin film solar cells such as low cost and so on, it is regarded as the next genera- tion solar cell technology, which is most likely to replace the existing crystalline silicon solar cell technology. In this paper, we performed device simulation on the epitaxial CSiTF solar cell by using PCI D software. In order to make simulation results closer to the actual situation, we adopted a more realistic device structure and parameters. On this basis, we comprehensively and systematically investigated the effect of physical parameters of back surface field （BSF） layer, base and emitter, electrical quality of crystalline silicon active layer, situation of surface passivation, internal recombination and p-n junction leakage on the optoelectronic performance of the epitaxial CSiTF solar cell. Among various factors affecting the efficiency of the epitaxial CSiTF solar cell, we identified the three largest efficiency-affecting parameters. They are the base minority carrier diffusion length, the diode dark saturation current and the front surface recombination velocity in order. Through simulations, we found that the base is not the thicker the better, and the base minority carrier diffusion length must be taken into account when deter- mining the optimal base thickness. When the base minority carrier diffusion length is smaller, the optimal base thickness should be less than or equal to the base minority carrier diffusion length; when the base minority carrier diffusion length is larger, the base minority carrier diffusion length should be at least twice the optimal base thickness. In addition, this paper not only illustrates the simulation results but also explains their changes from the aspect of physical mechanisms. Because epitaxi- al CSiTF solar cells possess a device structure that is similar to crystalline silicon solar cells, the conclusions drawn in this pa- per are also applied to crystalline silicon solar cells to a certain extent, particularly to thin silicon solar cells which are the hot- test research topic at present.

Model for increased efficiency of CIGS solar cells by a stepped distribution of carrier density and Ga in the absorber layer

In this paper, several structures for multilayer Cu(In1-xGax) Se2 (CIGS) thin film solar cells are proposed to achieve high conversion efficiency. All of the modeling and simulations were based on the actual data of experimentally produced CIGS cells reported in the literature. In standard CIGS cells with a single absorber layer, the effects of acceptor density and Ga content on device performance were studied, and then optimized for maximum conversion efficiency. The same procedure was performed for cells with two and three sectioned CIGS absorber layers in which Cu and/or Ga contents were varied within each consecutive section. This produces an internal additional electric field within the absorber layer, which resulted in an increase in carrier collection for longer wavelength photons, and hence, improvement in the conversion efficiency of the cell. An increase of approximately 3% in efficiency is predicted for cells with two layer absorbers. For multilayer cells in which Cu and Ga distribution were stepped simultaneously, the improvement could be approximately 3.5%. This improvement is due to; enhanced carrier collection for longer-wavelength photons, and reduced recombination at the heterojunction and back regions of the cell. These results are confirmed by the physics of the cells.

Improved hetero-interface passivation by microcrystalline silicon oxide emitter in silicon heterojunction solar cells

In this paper, we tion （SHJ） solar cells with prepared silicon heterojunc- the structure of p-c-Si/i-a- SiOx：H/n-μc-SiOx：H （a-SiOx：H, oxygen rich amorphous silicon oxide; μc-SiOx：H, microcrystalline silicon oxide） by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition method. The influence of the n-μc-SiOx：H emitter thickness on the heterointerface passivation in SHJ solar cells was investi- gated. With increasing thickness, the crystallinity of the emitter as well as its dark conductivity increases. Mean- while, the effective minority carrier lifetime （teff） of the SHJ solar cell precursors at low injection level shows a pronounced increase trend, implying that an improved field effect passivation is introduced as the emitter is deposited. And, an increased μTelf is also observed at entire injection level due to the interfacial chemical passivation improved by the hydrogen diffusion along with the emitter deposition. Based on the analysis on the external quantum effi- ciency of the SHJ solar cells, it can be expected that the high efficient SHJ solar cells could be obtained by improving the heterointerface passivation and optimizing the emitter deposition process.

Graphdiyne oxide-accelerated charge carrier transfer and separation at the interface for efficient binary organic solar cells

Interfacial engineering for the regulation of the charge carrier dynamics in solar cells is a critical factor in the fabrication of high-efficiency devices.Based on the successful preparation of highly dispersible graphdiyne oxide(GDYO)with a large number of functional groups,we fabricated organic solar cells employing GDYO-modified poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(styrene sulfonate)(PEDOT:PSS)as hole transport materials.Results show that theπ±πinteraction between GDYO and PEDOT:PSS is beneficial to the formation of an optimized charge carrier transfer channel and improves the conductivity and charge carrier mobility in the hole transport layer.Moreover,the improved interfacial contact contributes to the suppression of charge carrier recombination and the elevation of charge carrier extraction between the hole transport layer and the active layer.More importantly,the occurrence of charge carrier separation benefits from the optimized morphology of the active layer,which efficiently improves the performance,as proven by the results of transient absorption measurements.Therefore,with the holistic management approach to the multiobjective optimization of the charge carrier dynamics,a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 17.5%(with the certified value of 17.2%)is obtained for binary organic solar cells.All of these results indicate the potential application of the functionalized graphdiyne in the field of organic optoelectronic devices.
