Matrix Manipulation of Directly-Synthesized PbS Quantum Dot Inks Enabled by Coordination Engineering

The direct-synthesis of conductive PbS quantum dot (QD) ink is facile, scalable, and low-cost, boosting the future commercialization of optoelectronics based on colloidal QDs. However, manipulating the QD matrix structures still is a challenge, which limits the corresponding QD solar cell performance. Here, for the first time a coordination-engineering strategy to finely adjust the matrix thickness around the QDs is presented, in which halogen salts are introduced into the reaction to convert the excessive insulating lead iodide into soluble iodoplumbate species. As a result, the obtained QD film exhibits shrunk insulating shells, leading to higher charge carrier transport and superior surface passivation compared to the control devices. A significantly improved power-conversion efficiency from 10.52% to 12.12% can be achieved after the matrix engineering. Therefore, the work shows high significance in promoting the practical application of directly synthesized PbS QD inks in large-area low-cost optoelectronic devices.     

Fabrication of Nd-doped Ni–Zn ferrite/multi-walled carbon nanotubes composites with effective microwave absorption properties

The electromagnetic materials are featured by good magnetic permeability and dielectric constant characteristics, which are of significant importance in solving the pollution problem of electromagnetic. In this study, after the complete of the use of sol-gel method, argon gas was then introduced for calcination, and eventually a new type of MWCNTs/Ni_0.5Zn_0.5Nd_0.04Fe_1.96O₄ composites was synthesized after the above mentioned procedures. The synthesized MWCNTs were able to be adsorbed on the surface of Ni_0.5Zn_0.5Nd_0.04Fe_1.96O₄ and could form a good conductive work of 3D. Also, the effect of additional MWCNTs on microwave absorption properties of MWCNTs/Ni_0.5Zn_0.5Nd_0.04Fe_1.96O₄ composites were also observed in this study. The results indicate that the additional MWCNTs function to significantly improve the microwave absorption property of MWCNTs/Ni_0.5Zn_0.5Nd_0.04Fe_1.96O₄. Through altering the amount of MWCNTs, the microwave attenuation performance and impedance matching coefficient of this electromagnetic materials can be effectively improved. The S2 sample presented a minimum reflection loss of ?35.05 dB when its thickness reached 1.6 mm, meanwhile, the effective absorption bandwidth achieved 4.55 GHz. The prepared composites perform well in microwave absorption, which can attribute to the reasonable ratio of composites as well as its interaction with both of the magnetic and dielectric components. This research paved the way for novel ideas to be put in the electromagnetic absorption materials with high-efficient.

Non-keyhole Friction Stir Welding for 6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy

A novel non-keyhole friction stir welding technique was proposed to weld the butt joint of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy with the thickness of 6 mm. A sound joint was obtained by this technique, simultaneously eliminating the flash, shoulder mark and keyhole defects. The sleeve directly affected zone (SDAZ) and the sleeve indirectly affected zone (SIAZ) were divided into the joint according to the plunging position of the hollow sleeve. The lack of root penetration defect was avoided when the plunging depth of the hollow sleeve was only 4.2 mm, because the hollow part inside the sleeve improved the material flow below the sleeve. An S-shaped line was left at the SIAZ, and the height of it had the minimum value of 1.47 mm at 20 mm/min. Whether the failure location of the joint was in SIAZ/SDAZ or the heat-affected zone (HAZ) depended on the height and bonding strength of the S-shaped line. The joint fracture location changed from the SIAZ/SDAZ at 35 mm/min to the HAZ at 20 and 30 mm/min. The maximum tensile strength of 224.3 MPa was obtained at 30 mm/min which was 73.7% of that of the base material. The fracture surface morphology exhibited the typical ductile fracture.     

Deep eutectic solvent-based supramolecular gel polymer electrolytes for high-performance electrochemical double layer capacitors

Gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) can avoid the electrolyte leakage risk of electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs). But aqueous GPEs often suffer from narrow electrochemical windows. Herein, a series of deep eutectic solvent (DES)-based supramolecular GPEs are firstly developed for carbon-based EDLCs with wide voltage windows. The as-fabricated DES-based GPE shows an ionic conductivity of ~58 mS cm^?1, which makes the stable voltage window of a carbon-based EDLC reach 2.4 V. The carbon-based EDLC exhibits a specific capacitance of 32.1 F g^?1, an energy density of 24.6 Wh kg^?1 and a capacitance retention of ~90% after 15,000 charge-discharge cycles. Moreover, when quinhydrone is added into the DES-based GPE, the specific capacitance and energy density of the corresponding EDLC can be further expanded to 60 F g^?1 and 43.6 Wh kg^?1, respectively. Therefore, our work may present a universal strategy to prepare novel supramolecular GPEs for high-performance EDLCs with wide voltage windows.     

Fabrication,microstructural characterization and gas permeability behavior of porous silicon nitride ceramics with controllable pore structures

Porous Si₃N₄ ceramics with monomodal and bimodal pore structure were prepared by cold isostatic pressing and freeze-casting, respectively. Both the pore structure and permeability behavior of the porous Si₃N₄ ceramics were tailored by altering the pressure of cold isostatic pressing and the composition and content of solvent during freeze-casting. The specimens obtained by cold isostatic pressing exhibited smaller Darcian and non-Darcian permeability than those of freeze-casted samples due to their lower open porosity, smaller pore size and higher tortuosity. On the other hand, compared with the ice-templated specimens having the same solvent volume in the ceramic slurries as them during freeze-casting, the emulsion-ice templated samples showed smaller open porosity, macropore size and Dacian permeability, but the similar non-Darcian permeability because of their larger micropores and better pore interconnectivity.     

Numerical Investigation of the Capture of Polydisperse Particles by Charged Droplets

The capture of particles by charged droplets was simulated by considering the electrostatic interactions of droplet-droplet and droplet-particle. The results indicate that the electrostatic repulsion between droplets leads to a dynamic accumulation mode of particles. However, the droplet spacing has an insignificant effect on the capture efficiency when the electrostatic deposition predominates. The increase of droplet charge remarkably improves the capture efficiency, in which the capture of fine particles accounts for the largest proportion. Compared to the droplet charge, the droplet size shows a limited improvement in the capture efficiency. Reducing the droplet velocity prolongs the capture time instead of enhancing the capture capacity per unit time, thereby improving capture efficiency.
