MoSi2 doped Yb2Si2O7 composites were designed to extend the lifetime of Yb2Si2O7 environmental barrier coatings (EBCs) via self-healing cracks during high-temperature applications. Yb2Si2O7–Yb2SiO5–MoSi2 composites with different mass fractions were prepared by applying spark plasma sintering. X-ray diffraction results confirmed that the composites consisted of Yb2Si2O7, Yb2SiO5, and MoSi2. The thermal expansion coefficients (CTEs) of the composites increased with an increase in the MoSi2 content. The average CTE of the 15 wt% MoSi2 doped Yb2Si2O7 composite was 5.24 × 10?6 K?1, indicating that it still meets the CTE requirement of EBC materials. After being pre-cracked by using the Vickers indentation technique, the samples were annealed for 0.5 h at 1100 or 1300 °C to evaluate the crack-healing ability. Microstructural studies showed that cracks in 15 wt% MoSi2 doped Yb2Si2O7 composites were fully healed during annealing at 1300 °C. Two mechanisms may be responsible for crack healing. First, the cracks were filled with SiO2 glass formed by MoSi2 oxidation. Second, the formed SiO2 continued to react with Yb2SiO5 to form Yb2Si2O7, which can cause cracks to heal owing to volumetric expansion. The Yb2Si2O7 formation with smaller volume expansion is more beneficial. 相似文献
CaCu3Ti4O12-xwt%BiSbO4 ceramics (CCTO-xwt%BSO, x = 0, 1, 2, 3) were prepared by solid-state reaction method. The microstructure, dielectric properties, varistor properties, photoluminescence properties of CCTO-xwt%BSO ceramics were studied in this work. Results showed that all samples formed CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) single phase. Doping BiSbO4 (BSO) restrained the abnormal grain growth and increased the grain boundary density of ceramics. The introduction of BSO led to the increase of the grain boundary resistance, reducing the dielectric loss and enhancing the temperature stability of dielectric properties. The nonlinear electrical characteristics are enhanced with proper concentration of BSO. And the improved varistor performance with breakdown electric field of ~3.98–34.6 and nonlinear coefficient of ~1.49–2.96 are obtained for CCTO-xwt%BSO samples. In addition, the photoluminescent emission of the samples is enhanced with the addition of appropriate equivalent BSO, showing the potential applications in novel devices with photoluminescent/electrical multifunctional properties. 相似文献
Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal processing has emerged as a critical problem for biometric applications due to its real-time requirement. While compressive sensing is an efficient method for signal compression, its application in EEG signal processing is limited due to its noise unawareness during transmission and time-consuming reconstruction procedure. In this paper, we propose a noise-aware sparse Bayesian learning approach with block structure (NA-BSBL) to achieve higher efficiency on data compression, reconstruction and classification. By applying novel structure for parameter and introducing the Mahalanobis Distance, our approach achieves an almost 20% reconstruction performance lift and 10% accuracy lift under noise condition. For further application of reconstructed EEG signal, we extract both the spatial and frequency domain features for classification. Experimental results show that the proposed approach can achieve 94% classification accuracy with 16% speed up compared with the conventional approach. 相似文献
Knowledge convergence is an important means of innovation. The study aims to explore how knowledge convergence influences innovation performance at an organizational level. Furthermore, we address the moderating role of network relational embeddedness on the innovation deriving from knowledge convergence. Our empirical analyses adopting negative binomial regression models employ patent counts and patent citations from the nanotechnology field. The findings reveal that the scientific intensity in the convergence between scientific knowledge and technological knowledge has an inverted U-shaped influence on innovation performance and that this association is flattened in organizations with high network relational diversity. Also, we find that the technological scope in convergence of technological knowledge self has an inverted U-shaped influence on innovation performance and that this association is steepened in organizations with high network relational strength. Our findings add understandings of knowledge convergence on organization innovation and also have important practical and political implications.
A novel heterostructure of g-C3N4/ZnO/Bi4O5Br2 (ZB-3) was designed, and used in the microbial coupled photocatalytic fuel cell (MPFC). It can effectively improve electron utilization efficiency and pollutant degradation using this double Z-scheme heterojunction structure. The current–time (I–t) curves demonstrated that the current density of ZB-3 was higher than that of ZnO, ZnO/Bi4O5Br2 (ZB-1), g-C3N4/ZnO (ZB-2). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) indicated ZB-3 possessed the minimum charge-transfer resistance. This MPFC for degrading rhodamine B (RhB) and tetracycline (TC) under different conditions were developed using these materials. Even in the dark condition, MPFC with g-C3N4/ZnO/Bi4O5Br2 demonstrated 93% and 82% degradation efficiency for RhB and TC, respectively. Furthermore, the electron transport mechanism of the MPFC and ZB-3 were proposed. It paves the approach for more efficient pollutant degradation via MFC photocatalysis. 相似文献
