Several parameters such as binding energies, second differences of energy and vertical-electron detachment energies have been adopted to characterize and evaluate the structure stability of Al13In^- (n= 1 - 12) clusters. The optimized models show that the Al13 moieties in the clusters can not retain the original regular icosahedron structure. Results from binding energy and second difference of energy show that Al13In and Al13In^- clusters with even n are more stable than those with odd n in contrast with Al13In^+ clusters. The calculation of vertical-electron detachment energies (VDE) of Al13In clusters indicates that Al13In and Al13In^- clusters with even n are closer to the closed shell of the Jellium model. Further analysis of electron density of states and electron density differences reveals that the enhanced stability of AI13In^- clusters is not only associated with the closed shell of valence electrons but also with the bonding type between I and associated AI atoms.展开更多

The np-TiO2 anode fabricated from annealed Ti foils exhibited higher specific surface area and reduced pore diameter compared to np-TiO2 electrode fabricated from as-received Ti foils. The highly porous np-TiO2 anode fabricated from annealed Ti foils exhibited 1st discharge capacity of 453.25 mAh/g and reduced to 172.70 mAh/g at 1 C current rate after 300 cycles; whilst the np-TiO2 electrode fabricated from the as-received Ti foils exhibited 1st discharge capacity of 213.30 mAh/g and reduced to 160.0 mAh/g at 1 C current rate after 300cycles. Even after 400cycles, such np-TiO2 electrode exhibited a reversible capacity of 125.0 mAh/g at 2.5 C current rate. Compared to the untreated Ti foils, the enhanced electro- chemical performance of np-TiO2 anode fabricated from annealed Ti foils was ascribed to the annealing- induced removal of residual stress among the Ti atoms. The benefit of annealing process can reduce pore size of as-fabricated np-TiO2.展开更多

It is shown that the Curie temperature of the simulated intergranular phase alloy is much lower than that of the intergranular phase with the same chemical composition in the nanocrystalline Fe 89 Zr 7B 4 alloy. The possible mechanism is mainly due to the strong ferromagnetic exchange force among the nanocrystalline α Fe grains.展开更多

文摘Metal-ion capacitors(including Li^(+),Na^(+),and K^(+))effectively combine a battery negative electrode capable of reversibly intercalating metal cations,together with an electrical double-layer positive electrode.However,such novel cell design has a birth defect,namely kinetics mismatch between sluggish negative electrode and fast positive electrode,thus limiting the energy-power performance.Herein,we design a MoS_(2)-carbon composite anode with the ordered macroporous architecture and interlayer-expanded feature,exhibiting the fast and reversible Na^(+)redox processes.This kinetically favored anode is coupled with a homemade activated carbon cathode that allows for the excellent electrochemical performance of sodiumion capacitor with respect to large specific capacity,high-rate capability,and robust cycling.Through quantification of the potential swings of anode and cathode via a three-electrode Swagelok cell,we for the first time observe the abnormal variation law of potential swings and thus directly providing the evidence that the kinetics gap has been filled up by this kinetically favored anode.Our results represent a crucial step toward understanding the key issues of kinetics mismatch for hybrid cell,thus propelling the development of design of kinetically favored anode materials for high-performance metalion capacitors.

文摘A composite coating of nitrogen-doped carbon dots(N–CDs)and polydopamine(PDA)was prepared on magnesium alloy by combining electrodeposition with dip coating methods.The microstructure of the N–CDs/PDA composite coating,including composition,surface morphology,and crystalline structure,is characterized by Raman spectroscopy,scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,respectively.The corrosion protection performances of the composite coating are evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization tests,electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,and salt spray tests.The effect of the particle size of the N–CDs on the corrosion performance is also investigated.The results show that the corrosion performance of the N–CDs coatings are enhanced with the increase of the particle sizes.Furthermore,an obvious self-healing performance is observed on the surface of the N–CDs/PDA composite coating.These results indicate that N–CDs/PDA composite coating can improve the corrosion performance of the Mg alloy,and open a new design direction for the protective coating of metallic materials.

文摘The high cost,scarcity,and poor stability of precious-metal-based catalysts have hindered their extensive application in energy conversion and storage.This stimulates the search for earth-abundant alternatives to replace noble metal electrocatalysts.Hence,in this study,we investigate a novel and low-cost bifunctional electrocatalyst consisting of ZnCoMnO_(4) anchored on nitrogen-doped graphene oxide(ZnCoMnO_(4)/N-rGO).Benefiting from the strong Co-N interaction in ZnCoMnO_(4) and the coupled conductive N-rGO,the catalysts exhibit high electrocatalytic activity.Moreover,density functional theory calculations support the dominant role of the strong Co-N electronic interaction,which leads to ZnCoMnO_(4)/N-rGO having more favorable binding energies with O2 and H_(2) O,resulting in fast reaction kinetics.The obtained ZnCoMnO_(4)/N-rGO electrocatalyst exhibits superb bifunctional activity,with a half-wave potential of 0.83 V for the oxygen reduction reaction and a low onset potential of 1.57 V for the oxygen evolution reaction in 0.1 M KOH solution.Furthermore,a Zn-air battery driven by the ZnCoMnO_(4)/N-rGO catalyst shows remarkable discharge/charge performance,with a power density of 138.52 mW cm^(-2) and longterm cycling stability for 48 h.This work provides a promising multifunctional electrocatalyst based on non-noble metals for the storage and conversion of renewable energy.

文摘Y-modified Cr-Al coatings were co-deposited on DZ125 alloy by a pack cementation process,and the microstructures,constituent phases,and formation mechanisms of the obtained coatings were studied.The oxidation resistance of the coatings was also investigated.The experimental results show that the coating prepared by co-depositing Cr-Al-Y at 1050℃for 2 h has a multi-layered structure with an outer layer composed of Cr and Ni_(3)Cr_(2),a middle layer composed of Ni_(3)Cr_(2) and Al_(13)Co_(4),and an inner layer composed of Ni_(3)Al.The co-deposited Y is mainly present in the outer and middle layers of the coating.The coating formation process follows a sequential deposition mechanism in which Al is deposited during the initial stage,followed by Cr deposition.After oxidation at 1100℃for 100 h,a dense Cr_(2)O_(3)·Al_(2)O_(3) scale forms on the obtained coating,which effectively protects the DZ125 alloy from oxidation by preventing the inward diffusion of oxygen.

文摘Energetic and electronic structures of the on-top Al13In^m (n = 1 - 1 2, m = -1, 0, +1) clusters have been investigated by employing a first-principles pseudo-potential plane wave method. Several parameters such as binding energies, second differences of energy and vertical-electron detachment energies have been adopted to characterize and evaluate the structure stability of Al13In^- (n= 1 - 12) clusters. The optimized models show that the Al13 moieties in the clusters can not retain the original regular icosahedron structure. Results from binding energy and second difference of energy show that Al13In and Al13In^- clusters with even n are more stable than those with odd n in contrast with Al13In^+ clusters. The calculation of vertical-electron detachment energies (VDE) of Al13In clusters indicates that Al13In and Al13In^- clusters with even n are closer to the closed shell of the Jellium model. Further analysis of electron density of states and electron density differences reveals that the enhanced stability of AI13In^- clusters is not only associated with the closed shell of valence electrons but also with the bonding type between I and associated AI atoms.

文摘The effect of annealing of Ti foils before anodization on the morphology and electrochemical performance of resultant nanoporous anatase TiO2 (np-TiO2) as anode in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) was investigated. The np-TiO2 anode fabricated from annealed Ti foils exhibited higher specific surface area and reduced pore diameter compared to np-TiO2 electrode fabricated from as-received Ti foils. The highly porous np-TiO2 anode fabricated from annealed Ti foils exhibited 1st discharge capacity of 453.25 mAh/g and reduced to 172.70 mAh/g at 1 C current rate after 300 cycles; whilst the np-TiO2 electrode fabricated from the as-received Ti foils exhibited 1st discharge capacity of 213.30 mAh/g and reduced to 160.0 mAh/g at 1 C current rate after 300cycles. Even after 400cycles, such np-TiO2 electrode exhibited a reversible capacity of 125.0 mAh/g at 2.5 C current rate. Compared to the untreated Ti foils, the enhanced electro- chemical performance of np-TiO2 anode fabricated from annealed Ti foils was ascribed to the annealing- induced removal of residual stress among the Ti atoms. The benefit of annealing process can reduce pore size of as-fabricated np-TiO2.
文摘The FeZrB amorphous alloys for simulating the intergranular amorphous phase in the nanocrystalline Fe 89 Zr 7B 4 soft magnetic materials were obtained by mechanical alloying of a mixture of elemental Fe, Zr and B powders for 25 h. It is shown that the Curie temperature of the simulated intergranular phase alloy is much lower than that of the intergranular phase with the same chemical composition in the nanocrystalline Fe 89 Zr 7B 4 alloy. The possible mechanism is mainly due to the strong ferromagnetic exchange force among the nanocrystalline α Fe grains.

文摘The effect of deposition temperature on the morphology and optoelectronic performance of Ge/Si QDs grown by magnetron sputtering under low Ge deposition(~4 nm)was investigated by atomic force microscopy,Raman spectroscopy,and photoluminescence(PL)tests.The experimental results indicate that temperatures higher than 750℃effectively increase the crystallization rate and surface smoothness of the Si buffer layer,and temperatures higher than 600℃significantly enhance the migration ability of Ge atoms,thus increasing the probability of Ge atoms meeting and nucleating to form QDs on Si buffer layer,but an excessively high temperature will cause the QDs to undergo an Ostwald ripening process and thus develop into super large islands.In addition,some PL peaks were observed in samples containing small-sized,high-density Ge QDs,the photoelectric properties reflected by these peaks were in good agreement with the corresponding structural characteristics of the grown QDs.Our results demonstrate the viability of preparing high-quality QDs by magnetron sputtering at high deposition rate,and the temperature effect is expected to work in conjunction with other controllable factors to further regulate QD growth,which paves an effective way for the industrial production of QDs that can be used in future devices.

文摘Lithium-sulfur(Li-S)batteries with high theoretical specific energy of 2600 Wh kg^(-1) are one of promising candidates for next-generation energy storage devices.However,the severe shuttle effect of intermediate polysulfides leads to rapid capacity decay during battery cycling,especially at high sulfur loading and high current density.Herein,the MnO nanoparticles covered carbon with endoplasmic-reticulum-like structure(MnO@ERC)as separator coating for Li-S batteries is proposed.The MnO@ERC coating can act as upper current collector to enhance electrical conductivity of cathode and decrease the interface impedance of the whole battery.More importantly,both the polar MnO nanoparticles and Mn_(3)O_(4) formed at the end of the charging process can catalyze the conversion of lithium polysulfides,which is convinced by the high adsorption energy and the elongate S–S bond.As a result,Li-S batteries based on MnO@ERC coating separator showed stable cycle for 350 cycles under 0.5C,high discharge specific capacity of 783.6m Ah g^(-1) after 100 cycles at 0.2 C,534.7 m Ah g^(-1) after 100 cycles under the sulfur loading of 5.26 mg cm;and low self-discharge rate of 9.1%after resting 48 h..

文摘Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)MXene shows great potential in the application as microwave absorbers due to its high attenuation ability.However,excessively high permittivity and self-stacking are the main obstacles that constrain its wide range of applications.To tackle these problems,herein,the microspheres of SiO_(2)@Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)@CoNi with the hydrangea-like core-shell structure were designed and prepared by a combinatorial electrostatic assembly and hydrothermal reaction method.These microspheres are constructed by an outside layer of CoNi nanosheets and intermediate Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)MXene nanosheets wrapping on the core of modified SiO_(2),engendering both homogenous and heterogeneous interfaces.Such trilayer SiO_(2)@Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)@CoNi microspheres are“magnetic microsize supercapacitors”that can not only induce dielectric loss and magnetic loss but also provide multilayer interfaces to enhance the interfacial polarization.The optimized impedance matching and core-shell structure could boost the reflection loss(RL)by electromagnetic synergy.The synthesized SiO_(2)@Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)@CoNi microspheres demonstrate outstanding microwave absorption(MA)performance benefited from these advantages.The obtained RL value was-63.95 dB at an ultra-thin thickness of 1.2 mm,corresponding to an effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of 4.56 GHz.This work demonstrates that the trilayer core-shell structure designing strategy is highly efficient for tuning the MA performance of MXene-based microspheres.

文摘The catalytic oxidation of volatile organic compounds(VOCs)is considered a feasible method for VOCs treatment by virtue of its low technical cost,high economic efficiency,and low additionally produced pollutants,which is of important social value.Singleatom catalysts(SACs)with 100%atom utilization and uniform active sites usually have high activity and high product selectivity,and promise a broad range of applications.Precise regulation of the microstructures of SACs by means of defect engineering,interface engineering,and electronic effects can further improve the catalytic performance of VOCs oxidation.In this review,we introduce the mechanisms of VOCs oxidation,and systematically summarize the recent research progress of SACs in catalytic VOCs total oxidation into CO_(2)and H_(2)O,and then discuss the effects of various structural regulation strategies on the catalytic performance.Finally,we summarize the current problems yet to be solved and challenges currently faced in this field,and propose future design and research ideas for SACs in catalytic oxidation of VOCs.

文摘Hydrogen energy is expected to be an“ideal fuel”in the era of decarbonization.The discovery,de-velopment,and modification of high-performance hydrogen storage materials are the keys to the fu-ture development of solid-state hydrogen storage and hydrogen energy utilization.Magnesium hydride(MgH_(2)),with its high hydrogen storage capacity,abundant natural reserves,and environmental friend-liness,has been extensively researched.Herein,we briefly summarize the typical structure and hy-drogenation/dehydrogenation reaction mechanism of MgH_(2)and provide a comprehensive overview of strategies to effectively tune the thermodynamics and kinetics of Mg-based materials,such as alloy-ing,nanosizing,the introduction of additives,and composite modification.With substantial efforts,great achievements have been achieved,such as lower absorption/desorption temperatures and better cy-cling stability.Nonetheless,some pivotal issues remain to be addressed,such as unfavorable hydro-genation/dehydrogenation factors,harsh conditions,slow kinetics,incomplete dehydrogenation,low hy-drogen purity,expensive catalysts,and a lack of valid exploration of mechanisms in the hydrogena-tion/dehydrogenation process.Lastly,some future development prospects of MgH_(2)in energy-efficient conversion and storage have been presented,including advanced manufacturing ways,stabilization of nanostructures,the introduction of additives combined with structural modification,and utilization of advanced characterization techniques.
