Spin-polarized current is generated owing to the Zeeman splitting of the dot level. The current's strength and the spin polarization are further manipulated by changing the frequency of an applied photon field and the ferromagnetism on the leads. We find that the associated heat by this spin- polarized current emerges even if the bias voltage is smaller than the phonon energy quanta and obvious negative differential of the heat generation develops when the photon frequency exceeds that of the phonon. It is also found that both the strength and the resonant peaks' position of the heat generation can be tuned by changing the value and the arrangement configurations of the magnetic moments of the two leads, and then provides an effective method to generate large spin-polarized current with weak heat. Such a result may be useful in designing low energy consumption spintronic devices.展开更多

In the modified EA rapid heating, a continuous electric current for a suitable duration is applied to a specimen to heat it to a temperature slightly below the melting temperature of the coating. The temperature of the specimen is then kept constant for a specified dwell time. The result of the microstructural analysis shows that the modified EA rapid heating could effectively increase the thickness of the intermetallic layer between the coating and steel substrate much faster than conventional furnace heating and induction heating. The effectiveness of EA rapid heating may be due to the athermal effect of the electric current on the mobility of atoms, in addition to the well-known resistance heating effect. EA rapid heating also provides a technical advantage in that partial austenization can be easily achieved by properly placing the electrodes, as demonstrated in the present study.展开更多

文摘Realizing all-day and all-weather energy-saving heating is crucial for mitigating the global energy and ecology crisis.Electric/solar heating are two promising heating approaches,yet materials with high elec-trical conductivity,high solar absorptivity,and low infrared emissivity at the same time are rare in na-ture,which are highly anticipated and of great significance for highly efficient electric/solar heating.In this work,we demonstrate that Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) MXene with low IR emissivity(14.5%)fills the gap in the absence of the above materials,exhibiting a remarkable electric/solar heating performance.The saturated heating temperature of Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) film reaches a record-high value of 201°C at a low driving voltage of 1.5 V,and reaches 84.3°C under practical solar irradiation(750 W/m^(2))with a high solar to the thermal conversion efficiency of 75.3%,which is far superior to other reported materials.Meanwhile,the low IR emissivity endows Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) with a remarkable passive radiative heating capability of 7.0°C,ensuring zero-energy heating without electric/solar energy supply.The intrinsic characteristic of high electrical conductivity,high solar absorptivity,and low IR emissivity makes Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) unique existence in nature,which is highly promising for all-day and all-weather energy-saving heating.

文摘Visible transparent yet low infrared-emissivity(ε)polymeric materials are highly anticipated in many applications,whereas the fabrication of which remains a formidable challenge.Herein,visible transparent,flexible,and low-εpolymeric films were fabricated by nanocoating decoration of indium tin oxide(ITO)and MXene on polyethylene terephthalate(PET)film surface through magnetron sputtering and spray coating,respectively.The obtained PET-ITO@MXene(PET-IM)film exhibits lowεof 24.7%and high visible transmittance exceeding 50%,endowing it with excellent visible transparent infrared stealthy by reducing human skin radiation temperature from 32 to 20.8°C,and remarkable zero-energy passive radiative heating capability(5.7°C).Meanwhile,the transparent low-εPET-IM film has high solar absorptivity and electrical conductivity,enabling superior solar/electric to thermal conversion performance.Notably,the three heating modes of passive radiative and active solar/electric can be integrated together to cope with complex heating scenarios.These visible transparent low-εpolymeric films are highly promising in infrared stealth,building daylighting and thermal management,and personal precision heating.

文摘Methylcyclohexane(MCH)serves as an ideal hydrogen carrier in hydrogen storage and transportation process.In the continuous production of hydrogen from MCH dehydrogenation,the rational design of energy-efficient catalytic way with good performance remains an enormous challenge.Herein,an internal electric heating(IEH)assisted mode was designed and proposed by the directly electrical-driven catalyst using the resistive heating effect.The Pt/Al2O_(3)on Fe foam(Pt/Al2O_(3)/FF)with unique threedimensional network structure was constructed.The catalysts were studied in a comprehensive way including X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM)-mapping,in situ extended X-ray absorption fine structure(EXAFS),and in situ COFourier transform infrared(FTIR)measurements.It was found that the hydrogen evolution rate in IEH mode can reach up to above 2060 mmol·gPt^(−1)·min^(−1),which is 2–5 times higher than that of reported Pt based catalysts under similar reaction conditions in conventional heating(CH)mode.In combination with measurements from high-resolution infrared thermometer,the equations of heat transfer rate,and reaction heat analysis results,the Pt/Al2O_(3)/FF not only has high mass and heat transfer ability to promote catalytic performance,but also behaves as the heating component with a low thermal resistance and heat capacity offering a fast temperature response in IEH mode.In addition,the chemical adsorption and activation of MCH molecules can be efficiently facilitated by IEH mode,proved by the operando MCH-FTIR results.Therefore,the as-developed IEH mode can efficiently reduce the heat and mass transfer limitations and prominently boost the dehydrogenation performance,which has a broad application potential in hydrogen storage and other catalytic reaction processes.

文摘Coupling between electricity systems and heating systems are becoming stronger,leading to more flexible and more complex interactions between these systems.The operation of integrated energy systems is greatly affected,especially when security is concerned.Steady-state analysis methods have been widely studied in recent research,which is far from enough when the slow thermal dynamics of heating networks are introduced.Therefore,an integrated quasi-dynamic model of integrated electricity and heating systems is developed.The model combines a heating network dynamic thermal model and the sequential steady-state models of electricity networks,coupling components,and heating network hydraulics.Based on this model,a simulation method is proposed and quasi-dynamic interactions between electricity systems and heating systems are quantified with the highlights of transport delay.Then the quasi-dynamic interactions were applied using security control to relieve congestion in electricity systems.Results show that both the transport delay and control strategies have significant influences on the quasi-dynamic interactions.

文摘Based on decreasing the flexibility of the power grid through the integration of large-scale renewable energy,a multi-energy storage system architectural model and its coor-dination operational strategy with the same flexibility as in the pumped storage power station and battery energy storage system(BESS)are studied.According to the new energy fluctuation characteristics and the different peak valley parameters in the power grid,this paper proposes a electricity heat hydrogen multi-energy storage system(EHH-MESS)and its coordination and optimization operational model to reduce the curtailment of wind power and photovoltaic(PV)to the power grid and improve the flexibility of the power grid.Finally,this paper studied the simulation model of an energy storage optimization control strategy after the multi-energy storage system is connected to the distribution networks,and analyzed three operational modes of the multi-energy storage system.The simulation results show that the EHH-MESS proposed in this paper has a better power grid regulation flexibility and economy,and can be used to replace the battery energy storage system based on MATLAB.

文摘As the ubiquitous electric power internet of things(UEPIoT)evolves and IoT data increases,traditional scheduling modes for load dispatch centers have yielded a variety of chal-lenges such as calculation of real-time optimization,extraction of time-varying characteristics and formulation of coordinated scheduling strategy for capacity optimization of electric heating and cooling loads.In this paper,a deep neural network coor-dination model for electric heating and cooling loads based on the situation awareness(SA)of thermostatically controlled loads(TCLs)is proposed.First,a sliding window is used to adaptively preprocess the IoT node data with uncertainty.According to personal thermal comfort(PTC)and peak shaving contribution(PSC),a dynamic model for loads is proposed;meanwhile,personalized behavior and consumer psychology are integrated into a flexible regulation model of TCLs.Then,a deep Q-network(DQN)-based approach,using the thermal comfort and electricity cost as the comprehensive reward function,is proposed to solve the sequential decision problem.Finally,the simulation model is designed to support the validity of the deep neural network coordination model for electric heating and cooling loads,by using UEPIoT intelligent dispatching system data.The case study demonstrates that the proposed method can efficiently manage coordination with large-scale electric heating and cooling loads.

文摘Carbon-black-modified carbon nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning,and the effects of the carbon black content and processing temperature on the physical and chemical properties of the resulting composites were investigated.The results showed that the conductivity of carbon-black-modified nanofibers increased with the carbon black content.The addition of carbon black in a 20%mass ratio increased the conductivity of the composite(0.75 S/cm)by 230%compared with the undoped nano-fiber(2.47 S/cm),while the adulteration with 5%CB allowed the preservation of the mechanical properties of the composites.The fabricated carbon-black/carbon-nanocomposite fibers exhibited excellent oil absorption and electrothermal conversion performance.Furthermore,the conductivity and oil absorption capacity increased with increasing carbonization temperature.With a carbonization temperature of 1000℃(5%carbon black),the voltage was 31 V,the current was 0.66 A,and the surface temperature of the composite reached 234.1℃.The overall enhancement in physical properties upon the addition of even low amounts of carbon black makes these composites advantageous for future industrial applications.

文摘An electrically heated microelectrode chip (HMEC) was designed and the Ru(bpy)3^2+/carbofuran electro- chemiluminescence (ECL) systems were applied to characterize the performance of the HMEC. The ECL intensities increase at elevated electrode temperature, and the detection limit at 60℃ (electrode surface temperature) was about 10 times lower than that at 30℃. The results indicate that new heated electrode can be handled easily and can be mass produced, the difference between the electrodes was little. The stability of the HMEC was good since the electrode surface can hardly be destroyed during detection and storage.

文摘Modified electrically assisted(EA) rapid heating of Al–Si-coated hot stamping steel is suggested, and the intermetallic evolution in the coating during heating is experimentally investigated. In the modified EA rapid heating, a continuous electric current for a suitable duration is applied to a specimen to heat it to a temperature slightly below the melting temperature of the coating. The temperature of the specimen is then kept constant for a specified dwell time. The result of the microstructural analysis shows that the modified EA rapid heating could effectively increase the thickness of the intermetallic layer between the coating and steel substrate much faster than conventional furnace heating and induction heating. The effectiveness of EA rapid heating may be due to the athermal effect of the electric current on the mobility of atoms, in addition to the well-known resistance heating effect. EA rapid heating also provides a technical advantage in that partial austenization can be easily achieved by properly placing the electrodes, as demonstrated in the present study.

文摘In situ thermal desorption(ISTD)technology effectively remediates soil contaminated by dense nonaqueous phase liquids(DNAPLs).However,more efforts are required to minimize the energy consumption of ISTD technology.This study developed a laboratory-scale experimental device to explore the coupling merits of two traditional desorption technologies:steam-enhanced extraction(SEE)and electrical resistance heating(ERH).The results showed that injecting high-density steam(>1 g/min)into loam or clay with relatively high moisture content(>13.3%)could fracture the soil matrix and lead to the occurrence of the preferential flow of steam.For ERH alone,the electrical resistance and soil moisture loss were critical factors influencing heating power.When ERH and SEE were combined,preheating soil by ERH could increase soil permeability,effectively alleviating the problem of preferential flow of SEE.Meanwhile,steam injection heated the soil and provided moisture for maintaining soil electrical conductivity,thereby ensuring power stability in the ERH process.Compared with ERH alone(8 V/cm)and SEE alone(1 g/min steam),the energy consumption of combined method in remediating perchloroethylene-contaminated soil was reduced by 39.3%and 52.9%,respectively.These findings indicate that the combined method is more favorable than ERH or SEE alone for remediating DNAPL-contaminated subsurfaces when considering ISTD technology.
