The dimension of core/shell structured nanoparticles was that of 4nm core and 2 nm shell.

The crystal structure, morphology and photoluminescence properties of as-prepared core/shell nanoparticles were in- vestigated by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and fluorescence spectrophotometer. The re- sults showed thatLaF^3+ Yb^3+ , Er^3+ nanoparticles are of hexagonal structure and SiO2 shell is amorphous. The size ofLaF^3+ Yb^3+ , Er^3+. nanoparticles is 13 nm and the LaF^3+ Yb^3+ , Er^3+/SiO2 nanoparticles present clearly a core/shell structure with 12 nm shell thickness. The solubility of LaF^3+ Yb^3+ , Er^3+ nanocrystals in water and the biocompatibility are both improved by the SiO2 shell. The upconversion luminescence spectra suggested that the SiO~ shell has small effect on the upconversion luminescence properties of the LaF^3+ Yb^3+ , Er^3+ nanocrys- tals. The core/shell structure LaF^3+ Yb^3+ , Er^3+ /SiO2. nanopartlcles are expected to be used in biological appli- cations.展开更多

摘要To mitigate the issues of severe volume expansion(>259%)and electrode pulverization in Sn-based anodes(theoretical specific capacity:993 mA·h/g)for next-generation lithium-ion batteries(LIBs),we designed a CoSn2/Sn@C core−shell structure to accommodate the volume change and stabilize the cycling performance of LIBs.The Co3O4/SnO2 nanocubes were firstly prepared from CoSn(OH)6 precursor via a sintering and oxidation process in an air atmosphere.Subsequently,glucose was coated on Co3O4/SnO2 nanocubes,and then the composites were sintered under a reduction atmosphere to form CoSn2/Sn@C nanocubes with a core−shell structure.The CoSn2/Sn@C nanocubes exhibited shortened ion transport paths and excellent reaction kinetics due to their well-designed structures and controlled compositions.The electrochemical test results show that an excellent specific capacity of 672.2 mA·h/g after 500 cycles at a current density of 1 A/g was maintained for CoSn2/Sn@C electrode.The core−shell structure design of the elaborated CoSn2/Sn@C nanocubes holds significant implications for the development of high-performance anode materials for LIBs.

摘要Lead chalcohalides(PbYX,X=Cl,Br,I;Y=S,Se)is an extension of the classic Pb chalcogenides(PbY).Constructing the heterogeneous integration with PbYX and PbY material systems makes it possible to achieve significantly improved optoelectronic performance.In this work,we studied the effect of introducing halogen precursors on the structure of classical PbS nanocrystals(NCs)during the synthesis process and realized the preparation of PbS/Pb3S2X2 core/shell structure for the first time.The core/shell structure can effectively improve their optical properties.Furthermore,our approach enables the synthesis of Pb3S2Br2 that had not yet been reported.Our results not only provide valuable insights into the heterogeneous integration of PbYX and PbY materials to elevate material properties but also provide an effective method for further expanding the preparation of PbYX material systems.

摘要Machine learning provides a fast and accurate tool for the prediction of a physical model.In this paper,a machine learning framework based on the physics-informed neural network(PINN)was established to predict the linear elastic static deformation of plate and shell structures.In contrast to the purely data-driven neural network,PINN incorporates the physical laws into the training process,thus reducing the required amount of data.The loss functions of the PINN are constructed based on the total potential energy functions of the thin-walled structure.Besides,the proposed PINN can be easily extended to shell structures with multiple patches by adding interface compatibility constraints into the loss function.The performance of the PINNs with the energy-based loss functions was evaluated with different shell structures and compared with the finite element results.Numerical examples show that the highly accurate results can be achieved based on the proposed framework which significantly reduces the amount of required training data compared to the data-driven neural network.

摘要The novel core−shell SiC@CoCrFeNiMn high-entropy alloy(HEA)matrix composites(SiC@HEA)were successfully prepared via mechanical ball milling and vacuum hot-pressing sintering(VHPS).After sintering,the microstructure was composed of FCC solid solution,Cr23C6 carbide phases,and Mn2SiO4 oxy-silicon phase.The relative density,hardness,tensile strength,and elongation of SiC@HEA composites with 1.0 wt.%SiC were 98.5%,HV 358.0,712.3 MPa,and 36.2%,respectively.The core−shell structure had a significant deflecting effect on the cracks.This effect allowed the composites to effectively maintain the excellent plasticity of the matrix.As a result,the core−shell SiC@HEA composites obtained superior strength and plasticity with multiple mechanisms.

摘要Artificial photosynthesis presents a sustainable and cost-effective approach to harnessing solar energy to produce value-added chemicals[1,2].In particular,the simultaneous photocatalytic conversion of CO2and H2O into formic acid(HCOOH)and hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)has emerged as a promising strategy to mitigate global warming driven by CO2emissions.HCOOH is a versatile chemical and hydrogen carrier,offering economic and practical advantages due to its compatibility with existing industrial processes and energy storage/conversion systems.Meanwhile,H2O2is among the world’s top 100 essential chemicals,with a global market valued at$4.0 billion in 2020 and projected to grow to$5.2 billion by 2026.

摘要CoCo-Prussian blue analogue nanocubes were firstly synthesized via a co-precipitation method and subsequently converted into CoSe2nanocubes through a high-temperature selenization.The core-shell-structured CoSe2@MoS2electrocatalyst was then fabricated via a hydrothermal process.The resulting material exhibits outstanding hydrogen evolution reaction performances in both acidic and alkaline electrolytes,achieving overpotentials of 229 and 247 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm-2,respectively,with the corresponding Tafel slopes of 79 and 115 mV dec-1.Notably,the CoSe2@MoS2catalyst maintains a high catalytic activity after extended cycles.The enhanced catalytic activity and durability are primarily ascribed to the core-shell architecture,wherein MoS2nanosheets uniformly anchored on the surface of CoSe2nanocubes effectively suppress the self-agglomeration of MoS2nanosheets,thus providing abundant active sites.

摘要Based on the nonlinear drift-diffusion(NLDD)model,the coupled behavior between the mechanical and electrical fields in piezoelectric semiconductor(PS)PN junctions under two typical loading conditions is investigated.The governing equations for the general shell structure of the PS PN junction are derived within the framework of virtual work principles and charge continuity conditions.The distributions of the electromechanical coupling field are obtained by the Fourier series expansion and the differential quadrature method(DQM),and the nonlinearity is addressed with the iterative method.Several numerical examples are presented to investigate the effects of mechanical loading on the charge carrier transport characteristics.It is found that the barrier height of the heterojunction can be effectively modulated by mechanical loading.Furthermore,a nonlinearity index is introduced to quantify the influence of nonlinearity in the model.It is noted that,when the concentration difference between the two sides is considerable,the nonlinear results differ significantly from the linear results,thereby necessitating the adoption of the NLDD model.
摘要LaF^3+ Yb^3+ , Er^3+ nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using solvothermal treatment, and LaF^3+ Yb^3+ , Er^3+/SiO2 core/shell nanoparticles were also prepared with reverse microemulsion technique. The crystal structure, morphology and photoluminescence properties of as-prepared core/shell nanoparticles were in- vestigated by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and fluorescence spectrophotometer. The re- sults showed thatLaF^3+ Yb^3+ , Er^3+ nanoparticles are of hexagonal structure and SiO2 shell is amorphous. The size ofLaF^3+ Yb^3+ , Er^3+. nanoparticles is 13 nm and the LaF^3+ Yb^3+ , Er^3+/SiO2 nanoparticles present clearly a core/shell structure with 12 nm shell thickness. The solubility of LaF^3+ Yb^3+ , Er^3+ nanocrystals in water and the biocompatibility are both improved by the SiO2 shell. The upconversion luminescence spectra suggested that the SiO~ shell has small effect on the upconversion luminescence properties of the LaF^3+ Yb^3+ , Er^3+ nanocrys- tals. The core/shell structure LaF^3+ Yb^3+ , Er^3+ /SiO2. nanopartlcles are expected to be used in biological appli- cations.

摘要Magnetically separable bismuth ferrite(BiFeO3)nanoparticles were fabricated by a citrate self‐combustion method and coated with titanium dioxide(TiO2)by hydrolysis of titanium butoxide(Ti(OBu)4)to form BiFeO3@TiO2core-shell nanocomposites with different mass ratios of TiO2to BiFeO3.The photocatalytic performance of the catalysts was comprehensively investigated via photocatalytic oxidation of methyl violet(MV)under both ultraviolet and visible‐light irradiation.The BiFeO3@TiO2samples exhibited better photocatalytic performance than either BiFeO3or TiO2alone,and a BiFeO3@TiO2sample with a mass ratio of1:1and TiO2shell thickness of50-100nm showed the highest photo‐oxidation activity of the catalysts.The enhanced photocatalytic activity was ascribed to the formation of a p‐n junction of BiFeO3and TiO2with high charge separation efficiency as well as strong light absorption ability.Photoelectrochemical Mott-Schottky(MS)measurements revealed that both the charge carrier transportation and donor density of BiFeO3were markedly enhanced after introduction of TiO2.The mechanism of MV degradation is mainly attributed to hydroxyl radicals and photogenerated electrons based on energy band theory and the formation of an internal electrostatic field.In addition,the unique core-shell structure of BiFeO3@TiO2also promotes charge transfer at the BiFeO3/TiO2interface by increasing the contact area between BiFeO3and TiO2.Finally,the photocatalytic activity of BiFeO3@TiO2was further confirmed by degradation of other industrial dyes under visible‐light irradiation.

摘要Material composition and structural design are important factors influencing the electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorption performance of materials.To alleviate the impedance mismatch attributed to the high dielectric constant of Ti3C2TxMXene,we have successfully synthesized core‐shell structured SiO2@MXene@MoS2nanospheres.This architecture,comprising SiO2 as the core,MXene as the intermediate layer,and MoS2 as the outer shell,is achieved through an electrostatic self‐assembly method combined with a hydrothermal process.This complex core‐shell structure not only provides a variety of loss mechanisms that effectively dissipate electromagnetic energy but also prevents self‐aggregation of MXene and MoS2 nanosheets.Notably,the synergistic combination of SiO2 and MoS2 with highly conductive MXene enables the suitable dielectric constant of the composites,ensuring optimal impedance matching.Therefore,the core‐shell structured SiO2@MXene@MoS2 nanospheres exhibit excellent EMW absorption performance,featuring a remarkable minimum reflection loss(RLmin)of−52.11 dB(2.4 mm).It is noteworthy that these nanospheres achieve an ultra‐wide effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of 6.72 GHz.This work provides a novel approach for designing and synthesizing high‐performance EMW absorbers characterized by“wide bandwidth and strong reflection loss.”

摘要Zinc-air batteries(ZABs)hold tremendous promise for clean and efficient energy storage with the merits of high theoretical energy density and environmental friendliness.However,the performance of practical ZABs is still unsatisfactory because of the inevitably decreased activity of electrocatalysts when assembly into a thick electrode with high mass loading.Herein,we report a hierarchical electrocatalyst based on carbon microtube@nanotube core-shell nanostructure(CMT@CNT),which demonstrates superior electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction and oxygen evolution reaction with a small potential gap of 0.678 V.Remarkably,when being employed as air-cathode in ZAB,the CMT@CNT presents an excellent performance with a high power density(160.6 mW cm^−2),specific capacity(781.7 mAhgZn^−1)as well as long cycle stability(117 h,351 cycles).Moreover,the ZAB performance of CMT@CNT is maintained well even under high mass loading(3 mg cm−2,three times as much as traditional usage),which could afford high power density and energy density for advanced electronic equipment.We believe that this work is promising for the rational design of hierarchical structured electrocatalysts for advanced metal-air batteries.
