Thermal properties of hierarchical YSZ and LZO ceramic microspheres with multi-scaled voids investigated by using theoretical,experimental and simulation methods

Heat transfer within ceramic feedstock powders is still unclear, which impedes optimization of the thermal and mechanical properties of the thermal sprayed coatings. The microspheres (yttria-stabilized zirconia YSZ and lanthanum zirconate LZO) were prepared via the electro-spraying assisted phase inversion method (ESP). The thermal properties of the two ESP microspheres and a commercial hollow spherical powder (HOSP) were investigated by using theoretical, experimental, and simulation methods. Thermal conductivity of the single microsphere was estimated via a novel nest model that was derived from the Maxwell-Eucken 1 and the EMT model. Thermal conductivity of a single YSZ/LZO-ESP microsphere prepared at 1100–1200 °C was within 0.36–0.75 W/m K, which was ～ 20 % lower than that of a single YSZ-HOSP microsphere with a similar porosity. Heat flux simulation showed that high tortuosity around the multi-scaled voids of the ESP microsphere led to a more efficient decrease in thermal conductivity compared with total porosity.     

High-performance Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbZrO3-PbTiO3 ceramics with the triple point composition

Ternary 0.552Pb(Ni_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃-xPbZrO₃-(0.448-x)PbTiO₃ (PNN-PZ-PT) ceramics near the triple point compositions were fabricated by an improved two-step sintering method. The triple point composition 0.552PNN-0.135PZ-0.313PT ceramic has outstanding piezoelectric performance with piezoelectric coefficient d₃₃ = 1200 pC/N. Its easy fabrication and low cost make this piezoelectric material an excellent candidate for high sensitivity sensors and ultrasonic transducers. The evolution of domain structures for ceramics with composition near the triple point provides deeper insight into the mechanism of ultrahigh piezoelectric properties of PNN-PZ-PT ceramics.

Exploring the role of the sharing economy in disasters management

Improvements in information and communications technologies (ICTs) have facilitated the inclusion of the sharing economy (SE) in societies more than ever. In the aftermath of recent disasters, the SE played significant roles to help the affected people and support official responders. However, the literature has not effectively explored these roles, and thus, no framework can support the systematic inclusion of the SE in disasters management. This paper aims to address the gap through a two-stage exploratory research approach. First, we conduct a systematic literature review to identify the extent to which the SE is taken into consideration in disasters. After that, we investigate the role of three Iranian SE-based companies that were involved in the 2019 Iran floods response. We collect empirical data by conducting semi-structured interviews and reviewing official reports.Our findings indicate that very few studies discuss the different roles of the SE in disasters, although SE companies have often provided effective solutions to address critical post-disaster logistics challenges. Four research propositions are presented to describe emerging roles for SE companies. The contribution of our study is twofold. First, our research identifies the different roles that the SE could play in disasters and therefore, brings a new perspective to the literature. Second, the study suggests opportunities for collaboration and partnership models from the point of origin to delivery that can support coordination and logistics in disasters.     

Conductor selection and economic analysis of D.R. congo–guinea ±800 kV UHVDC transmission project

Africa is embracing new opportunities featured with industrialization, urbanization and regionalization. Based on co-development of ‘Electricity, Mining, Metallurgy, Industry and Trade’ and grids interconnection proposed by Global Energy Interconnection Development and Cooperation Organization (GEIDCO), the high-quality hydropower resource of the Congo River can be exploited in large scale under the wide-range interconnected framework of African Energy Interconnection (AEI), forging a new engine for Africa economy. The transmission distance of the Congo River hydropower reaches 6,000 km at its farthest end in North Africa, which brings forth challenges to economics of proposed projects. Under this novel continental energy interconnection scheme in Africa, economics of those projects have not yet been in detail studied. This paper has implemented China’s mature engineering experiences and analytical tools of UHVDC project planning into the AEI structure, through exploring the economic behavior of ultra-long distance UHVDC projects in the scope of conductor selection in the Congo River hydropower transmission for the first time, and has provided concerned parties with a technical and analytical results of their economics comparison. This paper has chosen the D.R. Congo - Guinea ±800 kV UHVDC project as a typical example. Its preliminary system planning is introduced and three types of conductor are selected for scheme comparison. Later in this paper, the transmission loss, total investment and equivalent annual cost of the project have been calculated and analyzed. In the final part, sensitivity analysis results of the annual cost to utilization hours, transmission loss, loss tariff and construction cost has been provided     

网络匿名扫描系统设计及优化

针对网络扫描工具在进行扫描时面临的溯源问题，提出了一种匿名网络扫描系统。首先将匿名系统与网络扫描工具结合以实现匿名扫描；然后在现有匿名系统的基础上实现了该系统的本地私有化；接着通过流量分析发现，Nmap的多进程扫描因为代理链的原因会变成单进程扫描而导致其扫描扫描性能较低；最后提出了一种基于多Namp进程并发的性能优化方案，将总体扫描任务分割为多个扫描任务，并分配给多个单独的Nmap进程并行运行。实验结果表明，该性能优化方案的扫描时延接近正常扫描情况下的时延，达到了提高匿名扫描系统性能的目的。因此，该优化后的网络匿名扫描系统在阻碍溯源的同时提升了扫描效率。

Type-II AsP/Sc2CO2 van der Waals heterostructure: an excellent photocatalyst for overall water splitting

In this work, we explore the application potential of AsP/M₂CO₂ (M = Sc, Zr) van der Waals heterostructures in photocatalytic water splitting through the first-principles calculations. The calculated results show that AsP/Zr₂CO₂ heterostructure possesses an unfavorable type-Ⅰ band alignment, whereas AsP/Sc₂CO₂ exhibits a desirable type-Ⅱ band alignment, which is beneficial for separating the photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Also, the band edge positions of AsP/Sc₂CO₂ heterostructure stride the redox potential of water, ensuring favorable reaction kinetics. Besides, the strong optical absorption of AsP/Sc₂CO₂ heterostructure in both visible and ultraviolet regions (especially up to 10⁻⁶ cm⁻¹ at about 250 nm) makes it possible to utilize solar energy effectively. Meanwhile, AsP/Sc₂CO₂ heterostructure has an exciton binding energy as low as 0.09 eV, which quantitatively illustrates the high separation efficiency of photogenerated charge carrier. Thus, the type-Ⅱ band alignment, suitable band edge position, strong light absorption, and low exciton binding energy together indicate that AsP/Sc₂CO₂ heterostructure is a potential photocatalytic material. In addition, the obvious redshift phenomenon in the optical spectrum of AsP/Sc₂CO₂ heterostructure shows that biaxial strain can improve its light capture capability. Also, the interconversion between type-Ⅱ and type-Ⅰ can be achieved by applying different strains. All these findings suggest that the novel AsP/Sc₂CO₂ heterostructure has significant application prospects in next-generation photovoltaic and photocatalytic devices.
