However, traditional lithium–sulfur batteries using ether-based electrolytes often suffer from severe safety risks(i.e. combustion). Herein, we demonstrated a novel kind of flame-retardant concentrated electrolyte(6.5 M lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulphonyl)imide/fluoroethylene carbonate) for highly-safe and widetemperature lithium–sulfur batteries. It was found that such concentrated electrolyte showed superior flame retardancy, high lithium-ion transference number(0.69) and steady lithium plating/stripping behavior(2.5 m Ah cm^(-2) over 3000 h). Moreover, lithium–sulfur batteries using this flame-retardant concentrated electrolyte delivered outstanding cycle performance in a wide range of temperatures(-10 °C, 25 °C and 90 °C). This superior battery performance is mainly attributed to the LiF-rich solid electrolyte interphase formed on lithium metal anode, which can effectively suppress the continuous growth of lithium dendrites. Above-mentioned fascinating characteristics would endow this flame-retardant concentrated electrolyte a very promising candidate for highly-safe and wide-temperature lithium–sulfur batteries.展开更多

However, its efficacy in treating severe ED remains unknown. Blood samples from 8-week-old male rats were used to prepare PRP through a two-step centrifugation procedure, followed by chitosan activation and freeze thaw cycle. A hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy)-related ED model was established using a methionine-enriched diet, and an apomorphine (APO) test was conducted during the 4th week. APO-negative rats were divided into two groups and were injected with PRP or saline every 2 weeks. Erectile function and histological analyses of the corpus cavernosum were performed during the 16th week. The results revealed that erectile function was significantly impaired in rats with HHcy-related ED compared to that in age-matched rats but was improved by repeated PRP injections. Immunofluorescence staining revealed a reduction in reactive oxygen species and additional benefits on the recovery of structures within the corpus cavernosum in rats that received PRP treatment compared to those in the saline-injected control group. Therefore, PRP could enhance functional and structural recovery in a severe HHcy-related ED model. A notable strength of the present study lies in the use of a repeated intracavernous injection method, mirroring protocols used in human studies, which offers more reliable results for translating the findings to humans.展开更多

文摘Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) shows promise as a regenerative modality for mild-to-moderate erectile dysfunction (ED). However, its efficacy in treating severe ED remains unknown. Blood samples from 8-week-old male rats were used to prepare PRP through a two-step centrifugation procedure, followed by chitosan activation and freeze thaw cycle. A hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy)-related ED model was established using a methionine-enriched diet, and an apomorphine (APO) test was conducted during the 4th week. APO-negative rats were divided into two groups and were injected with PRP or saline every 2 weeks. Erectile function and histological analyses of the corpus cavernosum were performed during the 16th week. The results revealed that erectile function was significantly impaired in rats with HHcy-related ED compared to that in age-matched rats but was improved by repeated PRP injections. Immunofluorescence staining revealed a reduction in reactive oxygen species and additional benefits on the recovery of structures within the corpus cavernosum in rats that received PRP treatment compared to those in the saline-injected control group. Therefore, PRP could enhance functional and structural recovery in a severe HHcy-related ED model. A notable strength of the present study lies in the use of a repeated intracavernous injection method, mirroring protocols used in human studies, which offers more reliable results for translating the findings to humans.

文摘Con ventio nal liquid electrolytes based sodium metal batteries suffer from severe safety hazards owing to electrolyte leakage,in flammability and dendritic sodium deposit!on.Herein,we report a flame-retardant quasi-solid polymer electrolyte with poly(methyl vinyl ether-alt-maleic an hydride)(P(MVE-alt-MA))as host,bacterial cellulose(BC)as reinforceme nt,and triethyl phosphate/vinyle ne carb on ate/sodium perchlorate(TEP/VC/NaClO4)as plasticizer for highly safe sodium metal batteries.The as-obtained quasi-solid polymer electrolyte exhibits superior flame retardancy(self-extinguish within 1 s),complete non-leakage property and wide electrochemical windows(4.4 V).More importantly,Na3V2(PO4)3/Na metal batteries using such polymer electrolyte delivers superior I on g-term cycli ng stability(84.4%capacity rete ntion after 1000 cycles)which is significantly better than that(only 2%after 240 cycles)of liquid electrolyte.In addition,this flame-retardant quasi-solid polymer electrolyte provides favorable cycle performance(80.2%capacity retention after 70 cycles at 50°C and 84.8%capacity retention after 50 cycles at-10°C)for Na3V2(PO4)3/Na metal batteries.And this battery also displayed a normal charge/discharge property even at-15°C.These fascinating cycle properties are mainly ascribed to the effective pro怕ctive layers formed on Na3V2(PC>4)3 cathode and sodium metal ano de.More thorough in vestigati on elucidates that such flame-retardant quasi-solid polymer electrolyte plays a multif unctional role in the adva need sodium metal batteries:(1)being in volved in the formatio n of a favorable cathode electrolyte in terface(CEI)to inhibit the dissolutio n of van adium and maintai n the structure integrity of the Na3V2(PO4)3;(2)participati ng in building a stable solid electrolyte in terface(SEI)to suppress the growth of Na dendrites;(3)integrating flame-retardanee into polymer sodium batteries to enhance flame-resistanee,eliminate electrolyte leakage,and thus improve safety of sodium batteries.Based on these results,we further assembled Na3V2(PO4)3/MoS2 pouch cell which can withsta nd harsh conditions(be nded or cut off a corn er),confirming the obtai ned polymer electrolyte with superior non-leakage property.In all,these outstanding characteristics would endow this flame-retardant quasi-solid polymer electrolyte a very promising can didate for highly-safe sodium metal batteries.

文摘The gradient porous Ti3Zr2Sn3Mo25Nb(TLM)alloy rods were fabricated through sintering the alloyed powder to a solid core.The porous sample was then modified by a Micro Arc Oxidation(MAO)treatment in an electrolyte containing calcium and phosphate,a hydrothermal treatment enabled secondary microporous hydroxyapatite(HA)coating,and a further bone morphogenetic protein-2(BMP-2)loading treatment through immersion and freeze-drying.The treatment led to an orderly secondary microporous coating containing HA nano-particles and evenly distributed BMP-2 in the porous coatings.As a result,osteoblasts could adhere and grow well on the coatings with a high cell adhesion rate and cell functional activity.The in-situ shear testing indicated that the interfacial strength had been enhanced significantly.Improvement of the bond formation and osseointegration with the titanium implant is attributed to increased surface area for the cell to attach,creating voids for the cell to grow in,and activating titanium surface by introducing bioactive ingredients such as HA and BMP-2.

文摘This paper proposes a neural-network-based state estimation(NNSE)method that aims to achieve higher time efficiency,improved robustness against noise,and extended observability when compared with the conventional weighted least squares(WLS)state estimation method.NNSE consists of two parts,the linear state estimation neural network(LSE-net)and the unobservable state estimation neural network(USE-net).The LSE-net functions as an adaptive approximator of linear state estimation(LSE)equations to estimate the nominally observable states.The inputs of LSE-net are the vectors of synchrophasors while the outputs are the estimated states.The USE-net operates as the complementary estimator on the nominally unobservable states.The inputs are the estimated observable states from LSE-net while the outputs are the estimation of nominally unobservable states.USE-net is trained off-line to approximate the veiled relationship between observable states and unobservable states.Two test cases are conducted to validate the performance of the proposed approach.The first case,which is based on the IEEE 118-bus system,shows the comprehensive performance of convergence,accuracy,and robustness of the proposed approach.The second case study adopts real-world synchrophasor measurements,and is based on the Jiangsu power grid,which is one of the largest provincial power systems in China.

文摘With more data-driven applications introduced in wide-area monitoring systems(WAMS),data quality of phasor measurement units(PMUs)becomes one of the fundamental requirements for ensuring reliable WAMS applications.This paper proposes a doubly-fed deep learning method for bad data identification in linear state estimation,which can:(1)identify bad data under both steady states and contingencies;(2)achieve higher accuracy than conventional pre-filtering approaches;(3)reduce iteration burden for linear state estimation;(4)efficiently identify bad data in a parallelizable scheme.The proposed method consists of four key steps:(1)preprocessing filter;(2)online training of short-term deep neural network;(3)offline training of long-term deep neural network;(4)a decision merger.Through delicate design and comprehensive training,the proposed method can effectively differentiate the bad data from event data without relying on real-time topology information.An IEEE 39-bus system simulated by DSATools TSAT and a provincial electric power system with real PMU data collected are used to verify the proposed method.Multiple test scenarios are applied,which include steady states,three-phase-to-ground faults with(un)successful auto-reclosing,low-frequency oscillation,and low-frequency oscillation with simultaneous threephase-to-ground faults.The proposed method demonstrates satisfactory performance during both the training session and the testing session.

文摘Low-frequency oscillations are hazardous to power system operation,and can lead to cascading failures if not detected and mitigated in a timely manner.This paper presents a robust and automated real-time monitoring system for detecting grid oscillations and analyzing their mode shapes using PMU measurements.A novel Extended Kalman Filtering(EKF)based approach is introduced to detect and analyze oscillations.To further improve the accuracy and efficiency of the presented software system,the EKF approach takes advantages of three effective signal processing methods(including Prony’s Method,Hankel Total Least Square(HTLS)Method,EKF)and adopts a novel voting schema to significantly reduce the computation cost.Results from these methods are processed through a timeseries filter to ensure the consistency of detected oscillations and reduce the number of false alarms.The Density-based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise(DBSCAN)method is used to accurately classify oscillation modes and the PMU measurement channels.The LFODA system has been functioning well in the State Grid Jiangsu Electric Power Company with 176 PMUs and 1000+channels since February 2018,demonstrating outstanding performance in reducing false alarms with much less computational cost.
