Here, we use multiple reanalysis datasets to quantify Arctic SAT and ST warming from 1979 to 2021 through thermodynamic and surface energy budget analyses, with a focus on the seasonal contrast between warm season and cold season. We show that SAT warming in both seasons is primarily linked to an increase in the diabatic heating residual associated with surface warming, whereas cold season SAT warming is additionally enhanced by strengthened warm advection, which accounts for 33% of the total SAT increase. ST warming exhibits a stronger seasonal contrast. In the warm season, ST warming is driven jointly by enhanced downward longwave radiation, mainly associated with increased atmospheric water vapor, and sea ice albedo feedback, contributing 27% and 33% of the ST increase, respectively. In the cold season, ST warming is dominated by enhanced downward longwave radiation, with atmospheric water vapor, mid-level cloud cover, and a residual term mainly related to external greenhouse gas forcing contributing 36%, 16%, and 10%, respectively. The Arctic Ocean further modulates this seasonality by absorbing heat in the warm season and releasing it in the cold season, contributing 21% to cold season ST warming and providing an additional heat source for the lower atmosphere. These results demonstrate that recent Arctic warming cannot be interpreted from SAT or ST alone, but reflects seasonally distinct coupling among atmospheric heat transport, radiative feedbacks, sea ice loss, and ocean heat storage and release.展开更多

摘要Droplet rebound is a key topic in interfacial physics and fluid mechanics,with important applications in industry,energy,and biomedicine.Based on the principle of energy conservation,a theoretical model was developed to describe droplet rebound on anisotropic superhydrophobic surfaces,providing functional relationships between the rebound direction and velocity of the droplet and the structural characteristic parameters.Combined with numerical simulations and experimental characterization,it was found that a stable Cassie state reduces energy dissipation during the droplet spreading and rebound process,facilitating low energy rebound.Moreover,under different parameter conditions,droplets can exhibit completely opposite motion on anisotropic surfaces.With the increase of the proportion of structures in the Wenzel wetting state,the droplet rebound direction gradually shifts from opposite to the structural inclination to the same direction.Furthermore,the droplet spreading and rebound process is primarily influenced by the droplet’s initial state and the surface compressive stability.Through force-material optimized design,the fabricated biomimetic surface enables droplets to maintain a Cassie state with minimal energy dissipation even at We=18,reducing the required Weber number by 35%compared with the rebound distance in the Wenzel state.This study further refines the mechanical model of droplet rebound,addressing challenges such as the precise control of droplet motion.

摘要For unmanned surface vehicles(USVs),how to find an effective,feasible path that substantially improves mission success rates and time efficiency in dynamic marine environments is a critical issue.To address the path planning problem for USVs using deep reinforcement learning(DRL)in dynamic ocean environments,an improved algorithm based on Deep Q-Networks(DQN)is proposed,which is called Fast Guided Deep Q-Network Algorithm(FG-DQN).This algorithm combines DQN with the artificial potential field(APF)method and uses the A*algorithm to initialize a guiding path in a global static environment and to provide prior knowledge for the USVs.Additionally,the configuration of the reward function using APF and the guiding path effectively reduces the frequency of random movements during the early exploration phase of the DQN algorithm,which accelerates convergence,improves the computational efficiency of path planning,and increases path safety.Finally,the performance of the presented algorithm is validated through experiments in a 2D environment.Compared with traditional reinforcement learning methods such as Q-learning and Sarsa,as well as the original DQN algorithm,FG-DQN is more effective for USV path planning.

摘要An unsteady numerical simulation is conducted to examine the dynamic runback characteristics of a water film flow driven by a boundary layer airflow over a solid surface pertinent to the dynamic glaze ice accretion process over aircraft wing surfaces.The multiphase flow simulation results of the wind-driven water runback(WDWR)flow are compared quantitatively with the experimental results in terms of the time-dependent variations of the water film thickness profiles and evolution of the front contact point of the runback water film flow.The underlying mechanism of the intermittent water runback behavior is elucidated by analyzing the time evolution of the airflow velocity and vorticity fields above the runback water film flow over the solid surface.To the best knowledge of the authors,the work presented here is the first successful attempt to numerically examine the transient runback characteristics of WDWR flows.It serves as an excellent benchmark case for the development of best practices to model the important micro-physical processes responsible for the transient water transport over aircraft wing surfaces.

摘要Lithium-sulfur batteries(LSBs)represent a next-generation energy storage technology,but widespread applications are restricted by the shuttle of lithium polysulfides(LiPSs).The rational design of separators has been demonstrated to be one of the most efficient and cost-effective strategies to curb the shuttle effect,and tremendous research progress has been achieved.The efficiency of a separator depends on its interaction with LiPSs,which is governed by the surface energy and binding strength.Despite several review works that have been reported to advance the separators,most of them primarily focus on active material innovation and construction.The most crucial issues of surface binding energy have not been systematically reviewed,limiting the precise design of efficient separators.In this review,fundamentals related to surface energy and binding interactions with LiPSs are comprehensively analyzed and discussed.With surface binding and energy main lines,the advancements in separator engineering strategies are elaborately summarized and discussed.Moreover,techniques for evaluating affinity to LiPSs are thoroughly analyzed to avoid any ambiguities in measurement.Based on the research context,valuable research directions are suggested to construct efficient separators.This work provides guidelines to regulate the surface binding and energy of separators for high-performance LSBs.

摘要The specific surface area(S S)and pore size(D)exhibit an inherent trade-off in the microscale design of bone implants:larger pores typically correlate with reduced surface area and vice versa.This relationship has attracted notable attention because of its critical role in the regulation of cell adhesion and osteogenesis.However,it remains largely unclear how S S and D affect the generated bone tissue and dynamically change during long-term osteogenesis.Herein,by applying rigorous geometric mapping to minimal surfaces,we constructed precisely partitioned and layer-by-layer thickened tissue models to simulate osteogenesis across different temporal scales and thereby track the dynamic evolution of geometric characteristics,permeability,and mechanobiological tissue differentiation.The high-S S samples were found to facilitate the rapid formation of new bone tissue in the early stages.However,their smaller pores tended to cause occlusions,hindering further tissue development.In contrast,low-S S samples showed slower bone regeneration,but their larger pores provided adequate physical space for tissue regeneration and mass transport,ultimately promoting bone formation in the long term.Mechanobiological regulation suggests that fibrous tissue formation inhibits additional bone formation,establishing a dynamic equilibrium between osteogenesis and pore space to sustain nutrient/waste exchange throughout the regenerative process.Overall,smaller pores are preferable in implants for minimally loaded osteoplasty procedures focused on early-stage bone consolidation,whereas larger pores are preferable in dynamically loaded implants requiring prolonged mechanical stability.

摘要This study investigated surface roughness,the wettability behavior,and surface energy of Co-based alloy specimens textured using the biomimetic Laser Surface Texturing(LST)method.The surface texture was inspired by the patterns found on marine shells.The impacts of the parameters on wettability,Surface Free Energy(SFE),surface topography,and texture roughness generated by the laser beam tracking a spiral path were investigated.Reducing spiral pitch produces more complicated and chaotic surface patterns.Most surfaces are hydrophobic,and surface roughness and topography influence the Contact Angle(CA).Topography and roughness were affected by frequency and scanning speed;a decrease in scanning speed and frequency generated more chaotic and irregular surface textures.With general factorial analysis and Analysis of Variance(ANOVA),our statistical study reveals that accounting for 88%of the influence,the scanning speed is the primary factor influencing surface roughness.On the other hand,the spiral pitch is essential for defining the struc-tural features of the surface,even if it less influences roughness.The SFE of laser-textured CoCr28Mo alloy specimens was optimizable within the range of 14-32 mN/m.The relevant findings offer valuable insights into optimizing LST for the specific surface properties of the Co-based alloy.

摘要The high surface reflectivity of metallic materials and their narrow range of electromagnetic wave absorption(primarily in the visible spectrum) severely limit their practical applications in defense,energy conversion,and communication.Therefore,creating surface structures with anti-reflective properties on metallic materials can effectively reduce surface reflectivity and broaden the frequency bandwidth of electromagnetic wave absorption,a goal highly valued by scholars both domestically and internationally.In this study,we investigated the effect of femtosecond-laser process parameters(pulse frequency,processing power,scanning speed,processing time,and focal length) on the dimensional parameters and surface morphology of groove and circular hole structures using a single-factor approach.By varying the femtosecond-laser process parameters,we produced groove and circular hole specimens with different width/diameter-to-depth ratios.The results indicated that with increases in femtosecond-laser pulse frequency,processing power,scanning speed,and processing time,the width and depth of the grooves and circular holes increased to varying extents.We characterized the anti-reflective properties of the textured surfaces to elucidate the mechanism by which the width/diameter-to-depth ratio of the textured structures affects the anti-reflective properties of metal surfaces.The results show that the transverse dimensions and depths of the groove and hole structures increased linearly with increases in femtosecond-laser processing power and the number of processing cycles.The average reflectance of the structures increased from 15.15% to31.84% when the ratio of structural width(diameter) to depth ranged between 0.43 and 1.The average reflectance of the structures,calculated to be consistent with actual results,ranged from 12.13% to 36.37%.The findings demonstrate that the width/diameter-to-depth ratio of the structure is a crucial index for assessing antireflective performance.

摘要Nickel oxide(NiO)‐based electrodes with high theoretical specific capacitance can effectively increase the energy density of supercapacitors-the key factor limiting their practical deployment.However,several issues still restrict the production of advanced NiO‐based electrodes.First,a facile strategy to concurrently enhance surface‐interface and bulk conductivity is still absent,limiting the overall electrode conductivity.Second,strategies that boost OH−affinity often increase its desorption barrier,impeding OH−migration.Herein,to address these issues,heterostructured Ni/NiO porous nanoflowers with P‐doping sites and abundant surface PO43−groups(P‐PO4‐Ni/NiO)are prepared through simple phosphidation.In this material,(1)the heterojunction between Ni and P‐doped NiO increases the overall electrode conductivity;(2)surface PO43−groups and P‐doping sites synergistically boost the affinity for OH−and improve their transfer kinetics;and(3)owing to their structure,porous nanoflowers show a large electrolyte contact area.As a result,the specific capacitance of P‐PO4‐Ni/NiO is five times higher than that of pristine NiO.When assembled into asymmetric supercapacitors,the device exhibits an energy density of 33.1 Wh kg−1at 750 W kg−1.At−40°C,the device retains 62.0%of its room‐temperature capacitance and shows nearly no fade after 20,000 charge-discharge cycles.This work presents a robust route for the development of practical transition metal oxide‐based supercapacitors.

摘要To solve the problem of abnormal abrasion of Cu-Based Friction Materials(CBFMs),Bionic Non-Smooth Surface(BNS)on friction surface of CBFMs was constructed based on bionic principles,and the optimal bionic prototype was selected by Finite Element Method(FEM).In addition,the bionic parameters were optimized by Response Surface Method(RSM).Samples holding BNS were prepared by Laser Processing,tribological properties were tested by a Friction and Wear Tester and worn surface morphology was characterized by a Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM).The results showed that BNS on friction surface could regulate the stress distribution and alleviate the peak stress.Among all samples,the coupled texture of pit-hexagonal got the minimum peak stress.During braking,bionic texture could also collect wear debris or change the motion forms from sliding to rotation,which can reduce abnormal abrasion.The wear rate was reduced by 19.31%.The results in this paper can provide a new idea for enhancing the tribological properties of CBFMs,and can also lay the foundation for further research of bionic tribology.

摘要Terahertz communication technology is envisioned as a promising candidate for the pivotal spectrum technology in future wireless communication networks.However,the limited penetration ability of terahertz waves makes line-of-sight(LoS)transmission indispensable,hindering the extensive application of terahertz communications.In this work,a novel liquid-crystal programmable metasurface(LCPM)is proposed for the first time,which can effectively achieve dual-broadband beam manipulation to improve link stability and extend coverage for terahertz communications in non-line-of-sight(NLoS)scenarios.The LCPM is operated in both the W band that covers 94 GHz and the D band that covers 140 GHz,corresponding to x-polarized and y-polarized wave incidence,respectively.Based on the proposed LCPM,realistic NLoS terahertz communication links are established and showcased.Communication measurements substantiate that the LCPM is capable of realizing extensive dynamic channel regulations and long-distance communications across both bands in various modulation schemes,supporting real-time high-speed video transmission.The experimental results validate the feasibility of employing the LCPM for terahertz wireless communications,paving the way for developing and implementing ubiquitous terahertz communication networks even with LoS blockage.

摘要The graphene±dielectric multilayer architecture constitutes a fundamental and widely utilized platform for sustaining surface polariton(SP)propagation.Owing to their extraordinary prospects in defence critical technologies,including radar-absorbing stealth coatings,high-power microwave shielding,and ultrafast optical switching,SPs have attracted intense and sustained interest.In this study,we develop an environment-adaptive design framework that models wavelength variation as a dynamic environmental change and automatically adjusts the design parameters in response.Our method employs a dynamic multi-objective optimization algorithm augmented with a predictive transfer strategy,optimizing SP coupling efficiency,structural compactness,and fabrication feasibility.Using a population history prediction mechanism,the framework not only adaptively generates multilayer designs across the full visible spectrum without full re-initialization,but also retains and exploits knowledge of how environmental variations influence the distribution of optimal solutions.This enables rapid adjustment of the optimization direction when parameters such as wavelength,angle,or doping change,thus avoiding the need to restart the search from scratch.Comprehensive comparisons demonstrate outstanding robustness under continuous wavelength shifts.The optimized graphene-coated distributed Bragg reflector(DBR)stacks achieve near-perfect absorption(>98%)at each individual wavelength across the visible spectrum.This work not only provides theoretical guidance for SP excitation experiments,but also contributes to the optimization of polariton device design,which is crucial for enhancing the performance of defence-related optical systems.

摘要Brucite,diaspore,and limonite,as typical hydroxide minerals,exhibit similar surface properties due to their high content of -OH.This study investigated the effect of traditional anionic collector sodium oleate(NaOL)on the flotation performance and surface properties of brucite,diaspore,and limonite.The flotation experiment results show that adding 40 mg/L NaOL at pH 11 can significantly increase the flotation recovery of brucite compared to diaspore and limonite.The results of contact angle,zeta potential,and XPS indicate that NaOL can exhibit strong adsorption on the surfaces of the three minerals,but the adsorption effect on the brucite surface is stronger than that on diaspore and limonite,resulting in differences in floatability among the three minerals.This is mainly due to the weak interlayer interaction force of brucite,which can expose more Mg 2+sites during the grinding process,resulting in brucite being able to adsorb more oleate ions.DFT calculations further indicate that sodium oleate has greater adsorption energy on the brucite surface and can stably undergo chemical adsorption through covalent bonding between O in the carboxyl group and metal sites on the surface of hydroxides.This study provides molecular-level insights into the design of highly efficient selective collectors for metal hydroxide minerals.
摘要Oxygen vacancies(Ov)play a pivotal role in enhancing photocatalytic C–H bond oxidation,yet their susceptibility to depletion under oxidative conditions significantly compromises catalyst stability.To address this challenge,we developed a surface engineering strategy through in-situ growth of a Bi-MOF layer on oxygen vacancy-rich Bi2WO6(Bi2WO6-x@Bi-MOF).This interfacial Bi–O interaction not only constructed a built-in charge transfer channel to boost electron migration from Bi2WO6-x to Bi-MOF,but also shifted the Bi p-band center closer to the Fermi level(Ef)to facilitate the adsorption of oxygen molecules and toluene.This surface engineering strategy preferentially adsorbs O2 on Bi-MOF and prevents its direct interaction with the Bi2WO6-x host,thereby mitigating oxygen vacancy depletion and enhancing catalyst stability.The optimized photocatalyst achieves 96%toluene conversion and 80%benzaldehyde selectivity within 2 h of light irradiation and maintains excellent structural stability and catalytic performance over ten consecutive cycles.This study offers a new design strategy for constructing robust and efficient Ov-based photocatalytic systems and expands the potential application of MOF materials in complex interfacial reactions.
