The results indicated that 3DOP could supply clearer and more detailed arc erosion morphology information. Arc erosion resistance of Ag/SnO_2(10) electrical contact material was the best and that of Ag/CuO(10) was the worst. Arc erosion morphology of Ag/MeO(10) electrical contact materials mainly included three different types. Arc erosion morphologies of Ag/ZnO(10) and Ag/SnO_2(10) electrical contact materials were mainly liquid splash and evaporation, and those of Ag/CuO(10) and Ag/CdO(10) were mainly material transfer from anode to cathode. Arc erosion morphology of Ag/SnO_2(6)In_2O_3(4) electrical contact materials included both liquid splash, evaporation and material transfer. In addition, the formation process and mechanism on arc erosion morphology of Ag/MeO(10) electrical contact materials were discussed.展开更多

Further, their catalytic activity in soot combustion was determined by temperature-programmed oxidation reaction. K substitution into the LaNiO3 lattice led to remarkably improved catalytic activity of this catalyst in soot combustion. Amongst various catalysts, La0.95K0.05NiO3 exhibited the highest activity in soot combustion (with its T50 and CO2 S values being 338 °C and 98.2%, respectively), which is comparable to the catalytic activities of Pt-based catalysts under the condition of poor contact between the soot and the catalyst. K-substitution improves the valence state of Ni and increases the number of oxygen vacancies, thereby leading to increased density of surface-active oxygen species. The active oxygen species play a vital role in catalyzing the elimination of soot. The perovskite-type La1?xKxNiO3 nanocatalysts with 3DOM structure without noble metals have potential for practical applications in the catalytic combustion of diesel soot particles.展开更多

A special numerical code is introduced, in whicha lattice model and statistical approaches are used to simulate the initial heterogeneity ofmaterial properties. The size of displacement-load step is adap-tively determined so that only fewelements would fail in each load step. When the tensile principal strain in an element exceeds theultimate strain of this element, the element is considered broken and its Young's modulus is set tobe very low. Some important behaviors of heterogeneous brittle materials are indicated using thiscode. Load-displacement curves and figures of three-dimensional fracture patterns are alsonumerically obtained, which are similar to those observed in laboratory tests.展开更多

The plate is generally supported at four edges for which the two-way differential quadrature method is used to solve the in-plane variations of the stress and displacement fields numerically. An approximate laminate model (ALM) is exploited to reduce the inhomogeneous plate into a multi-layered laminate, thus applying the state space method to solve analytically in the thickness direction. Both the convergence properties of SSDQM and ALM are examined. The SSDQM is validated by comparing the numerical results with the exact solutions reported in the literature. As an example, the Mori-Tanaka model is used to predict the effective bulk and shear moduli. Effects of gradient index and aspect ratios on the bending behavior of functionally graded thick plates are investigated.展开更多

The large-scale stable opal template membranes after sintering the deposited SiO2 opal template can be successfully obtained by optimizing the pH value and NaCl concentration in silica colloidal solutions. The three-dimensionally ordered macroporous(3DOM) polyimide membranes without crack were fabricated by reproducing the structure of silica opal template. We prepared the pore-filling composite proton exchange membranes by filling the 3DOM structure with proton conducting organosilane sol. The result indicates that the composite membranes exhibit higher water uptake than pure filling organosilane gel. The proton conductivity increased with the increasing of pore cell in composite membranes.展开更多

The key of this method is the maneuverable combination of two kinds of elements. Firstly, the macro elements are divided from the functionally graded material structures by the normal finite elements. In order to reflect the functionally graded distributions of materials and the microconstitutions in each macro-element, the microelement method sets up the dense microelements in every macro-element, and translates nodes to the same as the normal finite elements by the degrees of freedom of all microelemental the compatibility conditions. This microelement method can fully reflect the micro constitutions and different components of materials, and its computational elements are the same as the normal finite elements, so it is an effective numerical method for the analyses of the functionally graded material structures. The three-dimensional analyses of functionally graded plates with medium components and different micro net structures are given by using the microelement method in this paper. The differences of the stress contour in the plane of functionally graded plates with different net microstructures are especially given in this paper.展开更多

The specific combination of the micro-sized 3D hierarchical architecture and the mesocrystal structure with a high porosity and single crystal-like nature can address the capacity fading and cycling stability as presented in many conversion electrodes for lithium-ion batteries. The hierarchical 3D flower-like Co3O4 architecture accommodates the volume change and mitigates mechanical stress during the lithiation-delithiation processes, and the mesocrystal structure provides extra lithium-ion storage and electron/ion transport paths. The achieved hierarchical 3D Co3O4 flower-like architectures with a mesocrystal nanostructure exhibit a high reversible capacity of 920 mA.h.g-1 after 800 cycles at 1.12 C (1 C = 890 mA.h.gq), improved rate performance, and cycling stability. The finding in this work offers a new perspective for designing advanced and long-lived lithium-ion batteries.展开更多

The stacking of graphene up to several atomic layers can lead to diverse physical properties, depending on the stacking method. Bi layer graphene is also a semimetal, adopting the AB-stacked (or Bernal-stacked) structure or the rare AA-stacked structure . Trilayer or few-layer graphene (FLG) can be semimetals or semiconductors, depending on whether they adopt Bernal (ABA) stacking or rhoinbohedral (ABC) stacking.展开更多

Green and red upconversion emissions were observed under the excitation of 980 nm at room temperature. It was found that the ratio of red to green upconversion emission intensity increased with increasing of concentration of the Yb3+ or Er3+ ions in the three-dimensional ordered macroporous CeO2:Yb,Er materials. When the concentration of Yb3+ was 10 mol%, pure red upconversion emission was obtained. The varied mechanism of ratio of red to green upconversion emission intensity was discussed with the concentration of Yb3+ or Er3+ ions.展开更多

文摘At present,commercial Li-ion batteries are hardly to satisfy the growing demand for high energy density,for this purpose,lithium metal batteries have attracted worldwide attention in recent years.However,its practical applications are hindered by the formation of Li dendrites and volume effect during Li plating/stripping process,which leads to a lot of safety hazards.Herein,we first employed MOF-derived V_(2)O_(5) nanoparticles to decorate the carbon fiber cloth(CFC)backbone to acquire a lithiophilic 3D porous conductive framework(CFC@V_(2)O_(5)).Subsequently,the CFC@V_(2)O_(5) skeleton was permeated with molten Li to prepare CFC@V_(2)O_(5)@Li composite anode.The CFC@V_(2)O_(5)@Li composite anode can be stably cycled for more than 1650 h at high current density(5 mA·cm^(-2))and areal capacity(5 mA·h·cm^(–2)).The prepared full cell can initially maintain a high capacity of about 143 mA·h·g^(-1) even at a high current density of 5 C,and can still maintain 114 mA·h·g^(-1) after 1000 cycles.

文摘Porous materials have garnered significant attention in recent years.Understanding the intrinsic relationship between their structures and properties requires precise knowledge of their atomic structures.Single-crystal X-ray diffraction(SCXRD)has traditionally been the primary method for elucidating such structures,but it demands large,high-quality crystals,often exceeding 5μm in size.The growth of these crystals can be a time-consuming process,especially for one-and two-dimensional materials.To explore structures at the nanoscale,MicroED(microcrystal electron diffraction(ED))offers unprecedented insights into the realm of nanomaterials.This revolutionary technique enables researchers to uncover intricate details within nanoscale structures,promising to reshape our fundamental understanding of materials.In this review,we delve into the applications of MicroED in the study of various porous materials,including zeolites,metal-organic frameworks(MOFs),and covalent organic frameworks(COFs).We emphasize the pivotal role of MicroED in nanomaterial characterization,enabling precise crystallographic analysis and phase identification.

文摘A bounding surface model incorporating a unified nonlinear strength criterion is proposed.The proposed bounding surface model contains 9 model parameters,which can be determined from the conventional triaxial tests.The bounding surface model can reproduce such behaviours as the strain hardening,the post-peak strain softening,and the volumetric strain contraction and expansion.Based on the comparisons between the predictions and the test results,the proposed strength criterion and model can well reproduce the experimental results of the strength and stress-strain behaviours of rockfill material in three-dimensional stress space.The strength behaviour of rockfill material is summarized as:(a) the failure stress ratio decreases with the initial confining pressure on the meridian plane;(b) the failure deviatoric stress decreases with the Lode angle from 0o to 60o on the deviatoric plane.The stress ratio decreases with increasing one of such factors as the initial void ratio,the intermediate principal stress ratio and the minor principal stress at the same strain when the other factors are given.

文摘In this work, we rationally design a high-capacity electrode based on three- dimensional (3D) hierarchical Co3O4 flower-like architectures with a mesocrystal nanostructure. The specific combination of the micro-sized 3D hierarchical architecture and the mesocrystal structure with a high porosity and single crystal-like nature can address the capacity fading and cycling stability as presented in many conversion electrodes for lithium-ion batteries. The hierarchical 3D flower-like Co3O4 architecture accommodates the volume change and mitigates mechanical stress during the lithiation-delithiation processes, and the mesocrystal structure provides extra lithium-ion storage and electron/ion transport paths. The achieved hierarchical 3D Co3O4 flower-like architectures with a mesocrystal nanostructure exhibit a high reversible capacity of 920 mA.h.g-1 after 800 cycles at 1.12 C (1 C = 890 mA.h.gq), improved rate performance, and cycling stability. The finding in this work offers a new perspective for designing advanced and long-lived lithium-ion batteries.

文摘Two reported three-dimensional covalent organic frameworks(3D-COFs),COF-300 and COF-301,which have hierarchical porous structures and large pore volumes,were synthesized and employed as host materials for lithium-sulfur batteries.Owing to possessing excellent porosities as well as abundant hydroxyl groups in the pore walls,COF-301 can not only trap lithium polysulfides(PSs)via physical adsorption inside the pores,but also capture PSs by chemical interactions to relieve the shuttle effect.Interestingly,it is the first time that 3D-COFs were utilized as host materials for lithium-sulfur batteries as well as hydroxyl groups were introduced into COFs for improving the battery performance.As a result,COF-301@S as cathode material could reserve the capacity of 411.6 mA·h·g^-1 after 500 cycles with only 0.081%fading per cycle at 0.5 C,exhibiting better battery performance compared with COF-300@S.This study not only expands the applications of 3D-COFs but also provides a new route for designing lithium-sulfur batteries.
文摘Graphene, defined as a single atomic plane of graphite, is a semimetal with a small overlap between the valence and conduction bands. The stacking of graphene up to several atomic layers can lead to diverse physical properties, depending on the stacking method. Bi layer graphene is also a semimetal, adopting the AB-stacked (or Bernal-stacked) structure or the rare AA-stacked structure . Trilayer or few-layer graphene (FLG) can be semimetals or semiconductors, depending on whether they adopt Bernal (ABA) stacking or rhoinbohedral (ABC) stacking.

文摘The three-dimensional ordered macroporous CeO2:Yb,Er materials were prepared, and the influence of doping concentra- tion of Yb3+ or Er3+ ions on upconversion property was investigated. Green and red upconversion emissions were observed under the excitation of 980 nm at room temperature. It was found that the ratio of red to green upconversion emission intensity increased with increasing of concentration of the Yb3+ or Er3+ ions in the three-dimensional ordered macroporous CeO2:Yb,Er materials. When the concentration of Yb3+ was 10 mol%, pure red upconversion emission was obtained. The varied mechanism of ratio of red to green upconversion emission intensity was discussed with the concentration of Yb3+ or Er3+ ions.
