A dotted nanowire arrayed by 5 nm sized palladium and nickel composite nanopaticles showing significant electrocatalytic activity towards ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR)

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time to report the preparation of a dotted nanowire arrayed by 5 nm sized palladium and nickel composite nanoparticles (denoted as Pd_xNi_y NPs) via a hydrothermal method using NU and PdO·H₂O as the starting materials. The samples prepared at the mass ratio of NU to PdO·H₂O 1:1, 1:2 and 2:1 were, respectively, nominated as catalyst c₁, c₂ and c₃. The chemical compositions of all synthesized catalysts were mainly studied by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), revealing that metallic Ni was one main component of all prepared catalysts. Surprisingly, the main diffraction peaks appearing in the XRD patterns of all prepared catalysts were assigned to the metallic Ni rather than the metallic Pd. Very interestingly, as indicated by the TEM images, a large number of dotted nanowires arrayed by numerous equidistant 5 nm sized nanoparticles were distinctly exhibited in catalyst c₁. More importantly, when being used as electrocatalysts for EOR, all prepared catalysts exhibited an evident electrocatalytic activity towards EOR. In the cyclic voltammetry (CV) test, the peak current density of the forward peak of EOR on catalyst c₁ measured at 50 mV s^?1 was as high as 56.1 mA cm^?2, being almost 9 times higher than that of EOR on catalyst c₃ (6.3 mA cm^?2). Particularly, the polarized current density of EOR on catalyst c₁ at 3600 s, as indicated by the chronoamperometry (CA) experiment, was still maintained to be around 1.47 mA cm^?2, a value higher than the latest reported data of 1.3 mA cm^?2 (measured on the pure Pd/C electrode). Presenting a novel method to prepare dotted nanowires arranged by 5 nm sized nanoparticles and showing the significant eletrocatalytic activities of the newly prepared dotted nanowires towards EOR were the major contributions of this preliminary work.

基于风险评估的高压电缆巡检周期优化模型

高压电缆日常巡检与消缺工作能够及时发现并消除电缆故障隐患,是降低故障率的有效措施。但忽略风险差异的定期巡检方案会导致人力资源被浪费在不必要的检查与测试环节。为了保证电缆可靠运行且兼顾经济性要求,该文提出了基于风险评估的高压电缆巡检周期优化方法。首先针对历史故障数据,提出了一种高压电缆故障数据记录方法,计算电缆故障频率。其中将电缆线路按照巡检目标分为电缆通道、本体、中间接头、终端与接地系统五部分,并引用失效危险指数(IFC)模型计算各部分的故障频率;之后结合线路故障修复时间与线路重要性,计算电缆线路各部分的风险;并考虑电缆系统运行风险阈值,针对不同线路各部分的风险差异实现巡检周期优化计算。以某地区电缆线路为例应用上述方法,结果表明:基于IFC模型的故障频率计算方法无需人为干预,且在故障样本较少的条件下仍能产生有效结果;基于风险评估的巡检周期优化方法能够合理制定巡检方案,有效降低电缆运行风险,优化后电缆系统风险可降低70%。
