Simultaneously achieving high energy-storage density and power density under low electric fields in NBT-based ceramics

Aiming at the problem that power density and energy density are difficult to obtain simultaneously under low field, a novel composition (1-x)Na_0·5Bi_0·5TiO₃-xBaZn_1/3Ta_2/3O₃((1-x)NBT-xBZT) was designed and fabricated via solid-state methods. With the addition of BZT, the crystal lattice, structural symmetry, grain size, and dense degree were all increased proved by XRD, Raman, and Archimedes drainage method et al. Because of the enhancement of relaxor behavior, the x=0.10 sample displayed a high permittivity ε_r of 2871±15% and a low dielectric loss tan δ ≤ 0.025 in the wide temperature range of 60–400 ^oC. This ceramic also showed maximum recoverable energy density W_d (2.07 J/cm³) with high efficiency η (71.5%) under a low field of 150 kV/cm. Moreover, pulse discharge testing proved that this ceramic possessed both a significant discharge energy density W_D (0.96 J/cm³) and a record high power density P_D (108.54 MW/cm³). This work provided a promising material for high power and energy applications.

Laboratory Studies to Determine Suitable Chemicals to Improve Oil Recovery from Garzan Oil Field

Garzan oil field is located at the south east of Turkey. It is a mature oil field and the reservoir is fractured carbonate reservoir. After producing about 1% original oil in place (OOIP) reservoir pressure started to decline. Waterflooding was started in order to support reservoir pressure and also to enhance oil production in 1960. Waterflooding improved the oil recovery but after years of flooding water breakthrough at the production wells was observed. This increased the water/oil ratio at the production wells. In order to enhance oil recovery again different techniques were investigated. Chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods are gaining attention all over the world for oil recovery. Surfactant injection is an effective way for interfacial tension (IFT) reduction and wettability reversal. In this study, 31 different types of chemicals were studied to specify the effects on oil production. This paper presents solubility of surfactants in brine, IFT and contact angle measurements, imbibition tests, and lastly core flooding experiments. Most of the chemicals were incompatible with Garzan formation water, which has high divalent ion concentration. In this case, the usage of 2-propanol as co-surfactant yielded successful results for stability of the selected chemical solutions. The results of the wettability test indicated that both tested cationic and anionic surfactants altered the wettability of the carbonate rock from oil-wet to intermediate-wet. The maximum oil recovery by imbibition test was reached when core was exposed 1-ethly ionic liquid after imbibition in formation water. Also, after core flooding test, it is concluded that considerable amount of oil can be recovered from Garzan reservoir by waterflooding alone if adverse effects of natural fractures could be eliminated.     

Magnetodielectric coupling in barium titanate–cobalt ferrite composites obtained via thermally-assisted high-energy ball milling

In this work, a magnetodielectric coupling observed in barium titanate–cobalt ferrite composites synthesized using high-energy ball milling assisted via a thermal treatment is discussed. Vibrating sample magnetometry and dielectric spectroscopy showed that multiferroic composites possess both ferromagnetic and dielectric behaviors inherited from the parent ferromagnetic cobalt ferrite and ferroelectric barium titanate phases. The magnetocapacitance (up to 35%) recorded for x = 0.3, (1-x)BaTiO₃–xCoFe₂O₄, can be attributed to the spin-dependent filtering mechanism. The composite with the aforementioned composition exhibited a homogeneous matrix–particle composite microstructure, which was achieved via high-energy ball milling during the mixing stage.     

Magnetic field-enhanced photocatalytic nitrogen fixation over defect-rich ferroelectric Bi2WO6

Photocatalytic N₂ fixation is a promising and sustainable manufacturing process of ammonia (NH₃); however, the NH₃ production rate by this method is very low, thus severely restricting further application of this sustainable technology. Therefore, developing an efficient photocatalyst for N₂ fixation under mild conditions is urgently required. Herein, ferroelectric Bi₂WO₆ materials with different surface oxygen defects were prepared, and the concentration of corresponding defects was controlled by adjusting the thermal reduction time. The abundant oxygen defects in Bi₂WO₆ can provide more reactive sites to promote the effective adsorption of N₂, and the photogenerated charge carrier can be efficiently separated benefiting from the internal electric field. These would weaken the N₂ triple bond and reduce the activation energy barrier for the conversion of N₂ to NH₃ under mild conditions. In the absence of sacrificial agents and cocatalysts, the optimized Bi₂WO₆ with oxygen defects shows an indigenous NH₃ yield of 132.175 μmol·g^-1·L^-1·h^-1, which is more than two times higher than that of the original Bi₂WO₆. Surprisingly, the Bi₂WO₆ with oxygen defects produced more than eight times NH₃ (471.13 μmol·g^-1·L^-1·h^-1) than that of the original Bi₂WO₆ when assisted by an external magnetic field, thus providing a new perspective for further enhancing the N₂ fixation performance.     

Fabrication and Characterization of Highly Oriented Composite Nanofibers with Excellent Mechanical Strength and Thermal Stability

Here, highly‐oriented poly(m‐phenylene isophthalamide)/polyacrylonitrile multi‐walled carbon nanotube (PMIA/PAN‐MWCNT) composite nanofiber membranes with excellent mechanical strength and thermal stability are successfully produced using electrospinning. It is demonstrated that the cooperation of multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and high‐speed rotating collection is beneficial to the acquisition of highly oriented fibers and effectively improves the mechanical strength of the membrane along the orientation direction. Specifically, the tensile stress of poly(m‐phenylene isophthalamide)/polyacrylonitrile (PMIA/PAN) membrane is enhanced significantly from 10.6 to 20.7 MPa, benefiting from the highly oriented alignment of the fibers as well as the reinforcing effect of MWCNTs on the fibers. Furthermore, the stressing process of single fiber and fiber aggregates is carefully simulated, and the influence of MWCNTs on the mechanical properties of PMIA/PAN‐MWCNT membranes is analyzed comprehensively, providing a meaningful auxiliary means for the study of mechanical properties. In addition, the composite nanofiber membrane has the advantages of both PMIA and PAN, possessing high temperature resistance, flame‐retardancy, and chemical stability, for an ideal high‐temperature material. In short, the as‐prepared PMIA/PAN‐MWCNT composite membrane with excellent comprehensive property emerges a promising application in many fields, especially in high‐tech.     

A broadband filter with two transmission zeros adopting a new design method

A new design method was proposed in this article to insert transmission zeros in the broadband filters. In this method, the coupling line was connected to a certain position on the resonator. And then the coupling strength was adjusted by the connecting position. The open end of the resonator was hung and then the cross‐coupling was introduced to realize transmission zeros. This coupling method could add an adjustable parameter to improve the freedom of design and convenient to insert the transmission zeros. To verify this method, a highly selective coupled‐line microstrip filter with two transmission zeros was designed, fabricated, and measured. The measured results were in good agreement with the simulated ones. The return and insertion losses of the broadband filter were better than 18 and 2 dB, respectively. The relative bandwidth of the filter (FBW) was more than 68%. The rectangular coefficient (30 dB:1 dB) was less than 1.21.

Improved one-dimensional beam model for unbalanced composite single-lap joint

An analytical nonlinear solution was provided for unbalanced composite single-lap joint (CSLJ) using an improved one-dimensional beam model, which incorporated the effect of bending–tension coupling. The bending–tension coupling stiffness was introduced to characterize the coupling bending and tension behavior induced by the un-symmetric stacking sequence of composite laminates. The governing differential equations captured the bending–tension coupling behavior and the geometrically nonlinear features were constructed based on the displacement compatibility conditions of flexible interface. The transverse deformation in overlap region, edge moment factors and adhesive stress distributions for the unbalanced CSLJ with inflexible, intermediate flexibility and flexible adhesive can be determined by the present one-dimensional beam model. The accuracy of the present model was validated by the comparison with nonlinear finite element model. The effect of bending–tension coupling on edge moment factors and peak values of adhesive stresses was shed light on with the present model.
