Microwave synthesis of worm-like SiC nanowires for thin electromagnetic wave absorbing materials

Thin thickness is always the pursuit of excellent electromagnetic wave absorbing materials. Herein, SiC nanowires with worm-like morphology were synthesized by microwave heating the mixture of expanded graphite and silica. The worm-like SiC nanowires exhibit an excellent microwave absorption ability at a thin thickness. With the filling ratio of SiC nanowires increases in the matrix, the dielectric loss and microwave absorbing ability are significantly enhanced; meanwhile the number of absorption peaks is gradually increased, and the absorption peaks also move toward a thinner thickness. When the nanowires filling ratio was 40?wt%, the minimum reflection loss reached down to ?35.2?dB and the effective absorption (RL?<??10?dB) bandwidth was 1.8?GHz?at a thickness of 1.3?mm. The possible growth mechanism of the worm-like SiC nanowires is that the intermediate reaction gas phases, SiO and CO, were confined in the relatively independent tiny pores of expanded graphite. This resulting in an excessive local gas phase pressure, which causes the nanowire growth direction changes randomly.     

基于变量决策层的启发式变量选择策略

启发式分支策略是SAT求解器中不可或缺的一部分，直接影响求解器的效率。早期的启发式分支决策需要遍历整个子句数据库，效率比较低。随着独立变量状态衰减和（Variable State Independent Decaying Sum, VSIDS）分支策略的出现，SAT求解器的效率有所提高，但VSIDS策略以及它的延伸策略中变量的增量都只是与变量的冲突次数有关，没有考虑变量的决策层在分支策略中的影响。因此当发生冲突时，如果与冲突有关的变量的得分相同而决策层不同时，对于变量的选择就具有随机性。基于此，本文在阐述变量的决策层的重要性之后在VSIDS策略的基础上，提出一种基于变量决策层的启发式变量选择策略--HSVDL策略。然后通过实例显示HSVDL策略在变量决策阶段选择决策层低的变量的可能性比选择决策层高的变量的可能性要大，而且得分比较小，减少了内存的占用。最后通过实验表明HSVDL策略能够求解出更多的实例，求解器的效率也有所提高，说明该策略有一定的优势。

考虑决策者时序偏好的时域证据融合方法

针对时域不确定信息的融合难题，为充分体现时域信息融合的动态性特点和时间因素对融合的影响，在证据理论的基础上，提出一种考虑决策者时序偏好的时域证据融合方法。首先将决策者对时序的偏好融入时域证据融合，通过分析时域证据序列的特点，在定义时序记忆因子的基础上，对决策者的时序偏好进行度量；然后通过构建优化模型求解时序权重，再结合证据信任度的概念，对证据源进行修正；最后利用Dempster组合规则对修正后的证据进行融合。数值算例表明，与没有考虑时间因素的融合方法相比，考虑决策者时序偏好的证据融合方法可以有效处理时域信息序列中的冲突信息，得到合理的融合结果；同时，所提方法充分考虑了时域证据序列的信任度和决策者的主观偏好，可以反映决策者主观因素对时域证据融合的影响，较好地体现了时域证据融合的动态性特点。     

Ductile-brittle transition mechanisms of amorphous glass subjected to taper grinding experiment

Taper grinding experiments were conducted in this paper to investigate the continuous and complete ductile-brittle transition process of two kinds of amorphous glass: high purity fused silica (HPFS) which is silica rich glass and soda-lime silica glass (SLSG) which is low silica glass. The grinding force, ground surface morphology, surface roughness, and subsurface damage depth induced during different stages of taper grinding were all analyzed. A mathematical model describing the cutting force of a grit and micro-crack length was established to clarify the ductile-brittle transition mechanisms of isotropic material. The model revealed that material removal mechanisms and grinding force were mainly determined by the crack equivalent length in front of the grit and its equivalent cutting force. The ground surface roughness and subsurface damage depth were mainly affected by the cutting force of the grit and length of cracks behind it. The ductile machinability of SLSG was better than that of HPFS due to the bonding of metallic atoms in SLSG with nonbridging oxygens, as well as their packing into free volume in SiO₂ network.

Enhanced electrochemical performance of LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 via titanium and boron co-doping

Titanium and boron are simultaneously introduced into LiNi_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1O₂ to improve the structural stability and electrochemical performance of the material. X-ray diffraction studies reveal that Ti⁴⁺ ion replaces Li⁺ ion and reduces the cation mixing; B³⁺ ion enters the tetrahedron of the transition metal layers and enlarges the distance of the [LiO₆] layers. The co-doped sample has spherical secondary particles with elongated and enlarged primary particles, in which Ti and B elements distribute uniformly. Electrochemical studies reveal the co-doped sample has improved rate performance (183.1 mAh·g^-1 at 1 C and 155.5 mAh·g^-1 at 10 C) and cycle stability (capacity retention of 94.7% after 100 cycles at 1 C). EIS and CV disclose that Ti and B co-doping reduces charge transfer impedance and suppresses phase change of LiNi_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1O_2.     

Hierarchical FeC/MnO2 composite with in-situ grown CNTs as an advanced trifunctional catalyst for water splitting and Metal−Air batteries

In high demand is developing trifunctional electrocatalysts to simultaneously drive hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution/reduction reaction (OER/ORR) for metal-air batteries and water splitting. Here we develop the carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-grafted FeC/MnO₂ nanocomposite catalyst by carbonizing FeMn metal-organic frameworks. The synergistic effect between FeC and MnO₂ dominantly contributes the ORR, OER, and HER. The transition metal-mediated growth of CNTs by an in-situ catalysis mechanism enables high electrical conductivity, abundant active sites, as well as efficient reaction pathways. The optimized chemical composite and unique hierarchical structure endow the FeC/MnO₂ with low overpotentials for multiply electrochemical reactions. Consequently, the composite catalyst successfully serves as the bifunctional electrode for water splitting with a voltage of 1.66 V at 10 mA cm^?2 as well as the cathode for all-solid-state metal-air battery with Pt/C-comparable performance. The advanced transition metal composite presented in this work provides the guidance for rationally developing trifunctional electrocatalysts for efficient integrated energy conversion systems.     

Wear and thermal behavior of basalt fiber reinforced rice husk/polyvinyl chloride composites

Plant fiber reinforced polymer composites (PFRPs) in practical application are often subjected to both complex friction and variable temperature environments. The present work explores the possibility of reinforcing rice husk/polyvinyl chloride (RH/PVC) composites with basalt fibers (BF) for developing a new wear resistant material with improved thermal stability. The results showed that the structural strength and wear resistance of the composites increased at first and then decreased with an increasing ratio of BF/RH, the highest value occurred at a BF/RH ratio of 8/42. The thermal stability of composites had a positive relationship with BF/RH ratio. The composites added with BF all possessed improved performance in comparison with unadded composites. Hence, the findings of this article proposed some new perspectives on improving the wear resistance and thermal stability of PFRPs that would broaden their practical application.
