Status and initial experiments of DRAGON-V facility for lithium-lead blanket technologies of hydrogen fusion reactors

A dual-coolant integrated experimental facility named DRAGON-V has been developed at the Institute of Nuclear Energy Safety Technology, Hefei Institute of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, for the key technology research and performance evaluation of candidate liquid lithium-lead (PbLi) blanket of hydrogen fusion reactors. The loop is composed of a material test sub-loop and thermal-hydraulic test sub-loop, the design parameters are PbLi inventory 20 tons, PbLi temperature up to 550 °C, the maximum PbLi flow rate up to 40 kg/s. A novel cold trap system is designed to remove the suspended and crystalized impurities in PbLi fluid with three cooling zones and cross row arrangement of rod bundle filter elements. The paper describes the loop itself and its major components, initial loop testing, flow and measurement diagnostics and current experiments. The obtained test results of the loop and its components have demonstrated that the new facility is fully functioning and ready for experimental studies of material corrosion with/without a magnetic field, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effect, purification, heat and mass transfer phenomena in PbLi flows and can also be used in mock-up testing in conditions relevant to fusion applications.     

基于Lissajous曲线拟合的EFPI光纤传感器腔长解调

为提高非本征光纤珐珀传感器(Extrinsic Fabry-Perot Interferometric, EFPI)腔长解调的精度，基于EFPI传感器反射光谱近似余弦函数的特性，设计了一种基于李萨如图形(Lissajous-Figure)与标准形式椭圆曲线拟合的解调方法。将两组光强信号经过坐标变换拟合为标准椭圆曲线，以减少求解参数；并通过经验模态分解对数据进行分析，去余项后将得到的极值点代入椭圆曲线求解。将离散数据点分别移动5、10、15、20、25个点测试五组不同相移对解调结果的影响并选取其中误差最小的一组对EFPI传感器进行横向负载实验，分别施加5~25 N的应力，通过拟合椭圆曲线的解调方法将计算腔长差与理论腔长差相对比。结果表明，实际腔长差随负载成正比，平均误差值为5.690%左右，可以准确获取 EFPI 的腔长。

Transition metal atoms anchored on nitrogen-doped α-arsenene as efficient electrocatalysts for nitrogen electroreduction reaction

Electrocatalytic reduction of N₂ to NH₃ under ambient conditions, inspired by biological nitrogen fixation, is a new approach to address the current energy shortage crisis. As a result, developing efficient and low-cost catalysts is critical. The catalytic activity, catalytic mechanism, and selectivity of α-arsenene (α-Ars) catalysts anchored with various transition metal atoms and doped with different numbers of N atom were investigated for N₂ reduction reaction (NRR) in this paper. Results reveal that compared with WN₃-α-Ars which is coordinated with three N atoms, asym-WN₂As-α-Ars that coordinated with two N atoms not only exhibits high catalytic activity (U_L = ?0.36 V), but can also successfully suppress the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). It is manifested that reducing the number of coordination atoms can promote the selectivity of the transition metal (TM) loaded N-doped arsenene catalysts. Furthermore, activity origin analyses show both the charge on 1N–NH and φ form volcano-type relationship with the limiting potential. The active center of the catalyst, which acts as the charge transporter and has the moderate ability to retrieve charges, is the most efficient in NRR. Overall, this research creates high performance NRR catalysts by varying the number of coordinating N atoms, which provides a novel idea for the development of new NRR catalysts.     

Synthesis of bristlegrass-like Co-doped Ni2P composites on Ni foam for overall seawater splitting

Seawater is the most abundant resource on earth, so developing cost-effective, highly durable corrosion resistance and efficient electrocatalysts are crucial to enhance seawater splitting. Herein, we prepared 3D bristlegrass-like Co-doped Ni₂P (Co-Ni₂P) composites supported on Ni foam (NF) through a facile solvothermal method combined and a subsequent phosphatization treatment. Benefiting from the unique structure, Co-Ni₂P shows excellent electrocatalytic activity as an electrode material for both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER, low overpotential of 116 mV at 50 mA cm^?2) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER, low overpotential of 266 mV at 50 mA cm^?2). Moreover, the as-prepared Co-Ni₂P composites exhibit excellent stability and corrosion resistance in an alkaline medium. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to evaluate the H1 adsorption of Co-Ni₂P, and the results proved the high catalytic activity for the HER. This study provides new materials with a unique morphology for overall water splitting.

Strength and deformation properties of frozen sand under a true triaxial stress condition

In recent years, the mechanical properties of frozen soils under complex stress states have attracted significant attention; however, limited by the test apparatus, true triaxial tests on frozen soils have rarely been conducted. To study the strength and deformation properties of frozen sand under a true triaxial stress state, a novel frozen soil testing system, i.e., a true triaxial apparatus, was developed. The apparatus is mainly composed of a temperature control system, a servo host system, a hydraulic servo loading system, and a digital control system. Several true triaxial tests were conducted at a constant minor principal stress (σ₃) and constant intermediate principal stress ratio (b) to study the effect of intermediate principal stress (σ₂) on the mechanical properties of frozen sand. The test results showed that the stress–strain curve can be mainly divided into three stages, with evidence of strain hardening characteristics. The strength, elastic modulus, and friction angle increased with the increase in b from 0 to 0.6, but decreased when increasing b from 0.6 to 1, whereas the cohesion varied little with the variation in b. The deformation in the direction of σ₂ changed from dilative to compressive and that in the direction of σ₃ remained dilative throughout.
