Through pyrosequencing of the V3–V4hypervariable regions of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene, we characterized 4 720 089 valid reads representing 48 188operational taxonomic units(OTUs, 97% similarity). The community was dominated by the phyla Pseudomonadota(original name: Proteobacteria, 47%), Oxyphotobacteria(26%), and Bacteroidota(original name: Bacteroidetes, 18%), which comprised an average of 91% of the total OTUs in all samples. The prokaryotic community composition varied vertically within the water column. Water column prokaryotic communities exhibited a clear depth profile, with higher microbial richness and higher diversity observed with increasing water depth. Cluster analysis of the community composition of water column samples exhibited a similar trend with depth. Correlation with environmental factors suggested distinct variation in prokaryotic community composition with changes in depth, salinity, temperature and dissolved oxygen levels. Functional prediction showed presence of active nitrogen, sulphur and methane metabolic cycles along the vertical transect of the studied region. These results will improve our knowledge of prokaryotic diversity and community composition at different depth of water column for better understanding of the microbial ecology and nutrient cycles in Antarctic Peninsula region of the Southern Ocean.展开更多

Herein, a computational particle fluid dynamics method was employed to simulate the gas–solid flow in a 3-MWth dual-circulating fluidized bed used for chemical-looping combustion and gasification. The influence of structural difference between units on particle residence time was determined. The multi-parameter control mechanism of pressure, particle circulation, and particle residence time in a whole-loop system was investigated. Results revealed that under stable particle circulation, the particle residence time in the fuel reactor is much longer than that in the air reactor. The axial forces on the particles are reduced upon increasing particle density and size, leading to particle accumulation in the dense-phase zone. When the particle properties are stable, increasing the fluidizing gas flow rates by the same proportion leads to identical pressure drops on the involved two loop seals, which cause symmetrical alterations in the particle circulation rate between the air and fuel reactors. The dual-circulating fluidized bed exhibits certain multi-condition adaptability, which is limited by the stock bin volume. Overall, this study is beneficial for effective and economical optimization of the operation of chemical-looping dual-circulating fluidized beds.展开更多

摘要Nowadays,the efficient and cleaner utilization of coal have attracted wide attention due to the rich coal and rare oil/gas resources structure in China.Coal chemical looping gasification(CCLG)is a promising coal utilization technology to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction targets for highly pure synthesis gas.As a downstream product of synthesis gas,methyl methacrylate(MMA),is widely used as raw material for synthesizing polymethyl methacrylate and resin products with excellent properties.So this paper proposes a novel system integrating MMA production and CCLG(CCLG-MMA)processes aiming at"energy saving and low emission",in which the synthesis gas produced by CCLG and purified by dry methane reforming(DMR)reaction and Rectisol process reacts with ethylene for synthesizing MMA.Firstly,the reaction mechanism of CCLG is investigated by using Reactive force field(ReaxFF)MD simulation based on atomic models of char and oxygen carrier(Fe2O3)for obtaining optimum reaction temperature of fuel reactor(FR).Secondly,the steady-state simulation of CCLG-MMA system is carried out to verify the feasibility of MMA production.The amount of CO2emitted by CCLG process and DMR reaction is 0.0028(kg CO2)-1·(kg MMA)-1.The total energy consumption of the CCLG-MMA system is 45521 kJ·(kg MMA)-1,among which the consumption of MMA production part is 25293 k(·kg MMA)-1.The results show that the CCLG-MMA system meets CO2emission standard and has lower energy consumption compared to conventional MMA production process.Finally,one control scheme is designed to verify the stability of CCLG-MMA system.The CCLG-MMA integration strategy aims to obtain highly pure MMA from multi-scale simulation perspectives,so this is an optimal design regarding all factors influencing cleaner MMA production.

摘要A large amount of information is frequently encountered when characterizing the sample model in chemical process.A fault diagnosis method based on dynamic modeling of feature engineering is proposed to effectively remove the nonlinear correlation redundancy of chemical process in this paper.From the whole process point of view,the method makes use of the characteristic of mutual information to select the optimal variable subset.It extracts the correlation among variables in the whitening process without limiting to only linear correlations.Further,PCA(Principal Component Analysis)dimension reduction is used to extract feature subset before fault diagnosis.The application results of the TE(Tennessee Eastman)simulation process show that the dynamic modeling process of MIFE(Mutual Information Feature Engineering)can accurately extract the nonlinear correlation relationship among process variables and can effectively reduce the dimension of feature detection in process monitoring.

摘要Herein,the co-pyrolysis reaction characteristics of corn straw(CS)and bituminous coal in the presence of ilmenite oxygen carriers(OCs)are investigated via thermogravimetry coupled with mass spectrometry.The results reveal that the participation of OCs weakens the devolatilization intensity of co-pyrolysis.When the CS blending ratio is<50%,the mixed fuel exhibits positive synergistic effects.The fitting results according to the Coats-Redfern integral method show that the solid-solid interaction between OCs and coke changes the reaction kinetics,enhancing the co-pyrolysis reactivity at the high-temperature zone(750-950C).The synergistic effect is most prominent at a 30%CS blending ratio,with copyrolysis activation energy in the range of 26.35-40.57 kJ·mol-1.

摘要Prokaryotic diversity and community composition in the water column of eight stations(63 samples) around the Antarctic Peninsula of the Southern Ocean were investigated. Through pyrosequencing of the V3–V4hypervariable regions of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene, we characterized 4 720 089 valid reads representing 48 188operational taxonomic units(OTUs, 97% similarity). The community was dominated by the phyla Pseudomonadota(original name: Proteobacteria, 47%), Oxyphotobacteria(26%), and Bacteroidota(original name: Bacteroidetes, 18%), which comprised an average of 91% of the total OTUs in all samples. The prokaryotic community composition varied vertically within the water column. Water column prokaryotic communities exhibited a clear depth profile, with higher microbial richness and higher diversity observed with increasing water depth. Cluster analysis of the community composition of water column samples exhibited a similar trend with depth. Correlation with environmental factors suggested distinct variation in prokaryotic community composition with changes in depth, salinity, temperature and dissolved oxygen levels. Functional prediction showed presence of active nitrogen, sulphur and methane metabolic cycles along the vertical transect of the studied region. These results will improve our knowledge of prokaryotic diversity and community composition at different depth of water column for better understanding of the microbial ecology and nutrient cycles in Antarctic Peninsula region of the Southern Ocean.

摘要Mordenite with different Si/Al ratios were synthesized by solvent-free method and used for dimethyl ether(DME)carbonylation reaction.The influence of Si/Al ratio in the feedstock on the structure,porosity and acid sites were systematically investigated.The characterization results showed that with the increase of Si/Al ratio in the feedstock,part of silicon species fail to enter the skeleton and the specific surface area and pore volume of the samples decreased.The amount of weak acid and medium strong acid decreased alongside with the increasing Si/Al ratio,and the amount of strong acid slightly increased.The Al atoms preferentially enter the strong acid sites in the 8 member ring(MR)channel during the crystallization process.The high Si/Al ratio sample had more acid sites located in the 8 MR channel,leading to more active sites for carbonylation reaction and higher catalytic performance.Appropriately increasing the Si/Al ratio was beneficial for the improvement of carbonylation reaction activity over the mordenite(MOR)catalyst.

摘要The seawater desalination based on solardriven interfacial evaporation has emerged as a promising technique to alleviate the global crisis on freshwater shortage.However,achieving high desalination performance on actual,oil-contaminated seawater remains a critical challenge,because the transport channels and evaporation interfaces of the current solar evaporators are easily blocked by the oil slicks,resulting in undermined evaporation rate and conversion efficiency.Herein,we propose a facile strategy for fabricating a modularized solar evaporator based on flexible MXene aerogels with arbitrarily tunable,highly ordered cellular/lamellar pore structures for high-efficiency oil interception and desalination.The core design is the creation of 1D fibrous MXenes with sufficiently large aspect ratios,whose superior flexibility and plentiful link forms lay the basis for controllable 3D assembly into more complicated pore structures.The cellular pore structure is responsible for effective contaminants rejection due to the multi-sieving effect achieved by the omnipresent,isotropic wall apertures together with underwater superhydrophobicity,while the lamellar pore structure is favorable for rapid evaporation due to the presence of continuous,large-area evaporation channels.The modularized solar evaporator delivers the best evaporation rate(1.48 kg m-2h-1)and conversion efficiency(92.08%)among all MXene-based desalination materials on oil-contaminated seawater.

摘要Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction(CO2 RR)toward multi-carbon compounds is a challenging but meaningful route for carbon cycling.Copper-based catalysts are the most promising candidate for C2+generation due to their unique C–C coupling activity,yet the in situ reduction from Cu+ to Cu0 under cathodic potentials causes the catalyst deactivation.Herein,we develop a transient thermal shock strategy to embed Cu+ species into CeO2 lattices,constructing a CuOx/CuCeOxcatalyst with a radial gradient Cu+ -Ov-Ce3+/Ce4+structure.Depth-profiling X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)and density functional theory(DFT)calculations reveal that mismatched metal/oxygen diffusion kinetics drive continuous electron transfer from surface Cu+ to bulk Ce3+/Ce4+via oxygen vacancies(Ov),forming a dynamic“self-sacrificial”structure to preserve surface Cu+ states.In CO2-saturated 0.1 M KHCO3,the optimized CuOx/CuCeOx-10 achieves a high C2 Faradaic efficiency(FE)of 85.8%at-1.4 V vs.RHE.In situ attenuated total reflection surface-enhanced infrared adsorption spectroscopy(ATR-SEIRAS)identifies the key intermediates of C2 are*OCCO and*OCCOH,while DFT reveals a drastic reduction of C–C coupling barrier from 0.842 to0.274 eV.This work demonstrates kinetically tailored metal-support interactions,enabling oxidationstate control for pathway-selective catalysis.

摘要In recent years,anion exchange membrane water electrolysis(AEMWE)has garnered significant attention as an efficient technology for hydrogen production.However,anion exchange membranes(AEMs),which are fundamental components of AEMWE,continue to face challenges in achieving a balance between ionic conductivity and dimensional integrity.This study successfully synthesized a series of poly(p-terphenyl isatin)-based AEMs,featuring fluorinated main chains and long alkyl side chains(FPTI-N-x-pip),through superacid-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts alkylation,Menshutkin,and nucleophilic substitution reactions.A comparison was also made with poly(p-terphenyl isatin)AEMs containing non-fluorinated main chains(PTI-pip).The incorporation of hydrophobic fluorinated groups into the main chain,coupled with hydrophilic side chains,results in a distinct microphaseseparated structure that enhances both ionic conductivity and dimensional stability.Furthermore,the dual-cation synergistic effect improves the membrane's resistance to alkaline conditions.At 80℃,FPTI-N-50-pip exhibited a maximum ionic conductivity of(158.7±5)mS·cm-1,significantly surpassing that of PTI-pip,which lacks fluorinated groups(80±5)mS·cm-1.Additionally,the introduction of hydrophobic fluorinated groups effectively reduced water uptake,yielding a swelling ratio of only 28.5%at 80℃.After being exposed to 1 mol·L-1 KOH at 80℃for 500 h,the membrane retained 96.3%of its initial conductivity,indicating excellent alkaline stability.Moreover,the AEMWE cell utilizing FPTI-N-50-pip achieved a current density of 1.14 A·cm-2at 2.6 V and 60℃.The characterization results suggest that the synthesized FPTI-N-x-pip membranes hold great potential for applications in AEMWE.

摘要The photocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction(NRR)is a sustainable green alternative to the Haber-Bosch process for ammonia production.However,due to the inert properties of dinitrogen,the photocatalytic activity in N2 reduction is still pretty low.Based on density functional theory calculations,this study finds that the formation energy of oxygen vacancies around the V site in InVO4was significantly lower than that around the In site.This indicated that the V-O bond was thermodynamically less stable and tends to break preferentially.Therefore,selective cleavage of the V-O bond was achieved by subjecting InVO4to transient high-temperature treatment via rapid Joule heating technology.This resulted in the directed construction of an InVO4-JH catalyst enriched with oxygen vacancies and exposing coordination-unsaturated V sites.The resulting InVO4-JH catalyst delivered a photocatalytic ammonia production rate of up to 35.28μmol g-1h-1under ambient conditions without any sacrificial agent,while exhibiting excellent stability and reaction selectivity.Mechanistic studies and structural characterization confirmed that the formation of oxygen vacancies via V-O bond cleavage releases electrons,which reduce adjacent V5+to V4+.This created localized electron-rich regions at exposed V sites.Theoretical calculations further confirmed that these exposed V sites act as the active centers of the reaction,not only significantly enhancing nitrogen adsorption but also substantially lowering the energy barrier of the hydrogenation step through alternative reaction pathways.This work provides a novel strategy for the rational design of highly efficient defect-engineered catalysts via targeted bond cleavage.

摘要Aqueous zinc-ion batteries(AZIBs)have significant promise as large-scale energy storage devices due to their high safety,low cost,and environmental friendliness.However,their application has been constrained by limited operational voltage windows.A high-voltage-resistant Ti-graphene-Ti cathode current collector(TGT)was designed and fabricated by three-dimensional(3D)printing.The surface of the TGT has a TixOy protective layer,which effectively suppresses electrolyte decomposition under high voltage conditions so that the voltage window of the battery is extended to 1.0-2.2 V without the obvious formation of by-products.Simultaneously,the graphene layer in the TGT structure significantly improves the adsorption and insertion/extraction kinetics of cations,resulting in a high specific capacity of 307.5 mAh g−1and a prolonged cycling life of the battery.The resultant AZIBs have a stable charge/discharge performance over 400 cycles at a high voltage.Furthermore,the influence of the geometric arrangements of Ti and graphene in the 3D printing process on the energy storage mechanism was investigated and provided novel insight for the development of high-voltage-resistant composite cathode current collectors for AZIBs.

摘要Chemical-looping gasification(CLG)is a novel process for syngas generation from solid fuels,sharing the same basic principles as chemical-looping combustion(CLC).It also uses oxygen carriers(mainly metal oxide and calcium sulfate)to transfer heat and oxygen to the fuel.In this paper,the primary investigation into the CLG process with CaSO4 as oxygen carrier was carried out by thermodynamic analysis and experiments in the tube reactor.Sulfur-contained gas emission was mainly H2S rather than SO2 in the CLG process,showing some different features from the CLC.The mass and heat balance of CLG processes were calculated thermodynamically to determinate the auto-thermal operating conditions with different CaSO4/C and steam/C molar ratios.It was found that the CaSO4/C molar ratio should be higher than 0.2 to reach auto-thermal balance.The effect of temperature on the reactions between oxygen carrier and coal was investigated based on Gibbs free energy minimum method and ex-perimental results.It indicated that high temperature favored the CLG process in the fuel reactor and part of syngas was consumed to compensate for auto-thermal system.

摘要A hydrogen spillover-bridged water dissociation/hydrogen formation could concurrently promote Volmer/Tafel process and improve the efficiency of hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)under alkaline conditions.However,it is still challenging to promote occurrence of hydrogen spillover for the large interfacial transport barriers of H2O and hydrogen on active sites.Herein,the strategy of energy barrier gradient to induce hydrogen spillover was proposed by constructing Ru nanoclusters coupled with single atom onto oxygen vacancy cerium dioxide(Ru/CeO2-Ov-2).Density functional theory(DFT)calculations uncover that the adsorption/desorption of H2O occurs at the Ru clusters sites and then the dissociated H*spontaneously overflows from Ru clusters with high binding energy into the adjacent Ru single atom sites with low binding energy,which facilitate the hydrogen formation.Consequently,the synthesized Ru/CeO2-Ov-2 exhibits a small overpotential of 41 mV at 10 mA cm-2and good stability at 500 mA cm-2for 100 h in alkaline seawater,which could be ascribed to the rapid hydrogen spillover and strong coupling interaction between Ru and CeO2-Ov.This work provides a novel insight that synthesizing cooperative sites with energy barrier gradient helps to promote hydrogen spillover and accelerate the Volmer/Tafel process of HER.

摘要Black phosphorus quantum dots(BPQDs)show great promise as anode material for sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)due to their high theoretical capacity and short ion diffusion pathways.However,the challenges of low electronic conductivity and aggregation of BPQDs hinder their performance in SIBs.Loading BPQDs onto MXene nanosheets can address these issues,but the two-dimensional nano sheets may restack into a dense film during the filtration process,limiting reaction kinetics.Here,we report,for the first time,a bionic strategy for multilayer honeycomb-like MXene/BPQDs(MLHM/BPQDs)hierarchical architecture anode for SIBs.MXene nanosheets are arranged to ordered honeycomb layers and interlayer channels through the dual-template method.MXene nanosheets are arranged to ordered honeycomb layers and interlayer channels through the dual-templates method,and then,BPQDs are uniformly self-assembled onto the inwalls of the honeycomb.The unique open hierarchical architecture serves as an excellent substrate for rapid electron transport.Its large specific surface area offers more sites for BPQDs loading,preventing aggregation,and provides abundant channels and space for electrolyte infiltration and BPQDs volume change.The-O terminal groups increased after annealing,and the abundant-O/-F terminal groups on the surface of MXene can effectively enhance the binding energy and diffusion rate of Na+.The synergy of structure and surface chemistry accelerates the kinetics for MLHM/BPQDs,delivering a high reversible capacity of653 mAh g-1after 500 cycles at 2 A g-1(94.3%capacity retention),which demonstrates its great potential as a SIBs anode material.

摘要Regulation of gas–solid flow is crucial for optimizing the operation efficiency of dual-circulating fluidized beds that are considered to be the most appropriate type of chemical-looping reactors. Herein, a computational particle fluid dynamics method was employed to simulate the gas–solid flow in a 3-MWth dual-circulating fluidized bed used for chemical-looping combustion and gasification. The influence of structural difference between units on particle residence time was determined. The multi-parameter control mechanism of pressure, particle circulation, and particle residence time in a whole-loop system was investigated. Results revealed that under stable particle circulation, the particle residence time in the fuel reactor is much longer than that in the air reactor. The axial forces on the particles are reduced upon increasing particle density and size, leading to particle accumulation in the dense-phase zone. When the particle properties are stable, increasing the fluidizing gas flow rates by the same proportion leads to identical pressure drops on the involved two loop seals, which cause symmetrical alterations in the particle circulation rate between the air and fuel reactors. The dual-circulating fluidized bed exhibits certain multi-condition adaptability, which is limited by the stock bin volume. Overall, this study is beneficial for effective and economical optimization of the operation of chemical-looping dual-circulating fluidized beds.

摘要High-voltage dual-ion batteries(DIBs)face significant challenges,including graphite cathode degradation,cathode-electrolyte interphase(CEI)instability,and the thermodynamic instability of conventional carbonate-based electrolytes,particularly at extreme temperatures.In this study,we develop a stable electrolyte incorporating lithium difluorophosphate(LiDFP)as an additive to enhance the electrochemical performance of DIBs over a wide temperature range.LiDFP preferentially decomposes to form a rapid anion-transporting,mechanically robust CEI layer on graphite,which provides better protection by suppressing graphite's volume expansion,preventing electrolyte oxidative decomposition,and enhancing reaction kinetics.As a result,Li||graphite half cells using LiDFP electrolyte exhibit outstanding rate performance(90.8% capacity retention at 30 C)and excellent cycle stability(82.2% capacity retention after 5000 cycles)at room temperature.Moreover,graphite||graphite full cells with LiDFP electrolyte demonstrate stable discharge capacity across a temperature range of-20 to 40℃,expanding the potential applications of LiDFP.This work establishes a novel strategy for optimizing the interphase through electrolyte design,paving the way for all-climate DIBs with improved performance and stability.
