One step from nanofiber to functional hybrid structure: Pd doped ZnO/SnO2 heterojunction nanofibers with hexagonal ZnO columns for enhanced low-temperature hydrogen gas sensing

In this paper, a novel hybrid structure of Pd doped ZnO/SnO₂ heterojunction nanofibers with hexagonal ZnO columns was one step synthesized from electrospun precursor nanofibers. Due to the synergistic effect of hexagonal ZnO, SnO₂ and Pd, the structure exhibited excellent hydrogen (H₂) gas sensing properties. At low-temperature of 120 °C, the response (R_a/R_g) to 100 ppm H₂ gas exceeded 160, the response/recovery time was only 20 s and 6 s respectively and the limit of detection was only 0.5 ppm. Meanwhile, it also had good selectivity for H₂ gas and excellent linearity. In addition, the materials were characterized by XRD, FESEM, HRTEM, XPS, and the synthesis mechanism and gas sensing mechanism were proposed.     

Improving gelling properties of myofibrillar proteins incorporating with cellulose micro/nanofibres

The effects of cellulose microfibres (CMFs, Average size: 100 ± 5 μm) and cellulose nanofibres (CNFs, Average size: 60 ± 3 nm) on the properties of myofibrillar protein (MP) gels from duck breast meat were studied. The results demonstrated that CMFs and CNFs were mostly connected to MP by non-covalent bonds, the diffusion and cross-linking of MP molecules was promoted, and a denser and more complete gel network was formed. With the increases of CMFs and CNFs concentration (0–10%), the hardness was increased by 13.15% and 19.78% for CMFs10% and CNFs10% gels, respectively, and the elasticity was increased by 40% and 80%, respectively. At the same concentration (0–10%), the increase in gel hardness, viscoelasticity and immobilised water content was greater in the CNFs-MP group than in the CMFs-MP group. The CNFs-MP group had a tighter gel network, and CNFs had a better potential to improve the gelation performance of MP.     

基于VMD和BSA-KELM的高陡边坡位移预测模型研究

边坡位移的时间序列曲线存在复杂的非线性特性,传统的预测模型精度不足以满足预测要求。为此提出了基于变分模态分解的鸟群优化-核极限学习机的预测模型,并用于河北省某水泥厂的边坡位移预测。该方法首先采用VMD把边坡位移序列分解为一系列的有限带宽的子序列,再对各子序列分别采用相空间重构并用核极限学习机预测,采用鸟群算法优化相空间重构的嵌入维度和KELM中惩罚系数和核参数三个数值,以取得最优预测模型。最后将各个子序列预测值叠加,得到边坡位移的最终预测值。结果表明：和KELM、BSA-KELM、EEMD-BSA-KELM模型相比,基于VMD的BSA-KELM预测精度更高,为边坡位移的预测提供一种有效的方法。

为了研究四川藏区传统牦牛酸奶中高产胞外多糖乳酸菌特性及发酵性能，以本实验室分离出的六株高产胞外多糖乳酸菌为研究对象，以菌株生长量、耐酸性、胆盐耐受力、渗透压耐受力和细胞表面疏水性为指标进行特性研究；以发酵酸奶的凝乳时间、持水力、酸化及后酸化能力、挥发性物质及质构等为指标进行发酵性能研究。菌株的生长曲线表明，6株菌株分别在14 h（218、276、266）、16 h（271、285、231）进入对数生长稳定期，其中编号218的菌株生长量最高，OD值为2.188。耐受性实验结果表明，菌株276具有良好的耐酸能力（P<0.05）；菌株266、218、231耐胆盐的能力较强；6株菌株均具有较好的耐渗透压的能力，其中菌株285对高渗透压的耐受性较强；菌株285和218在两种有机试剂中的疏水性均显著（P<0.05）高于其他菌株，且与十六烷的结合效果较好。发酵试验结果表明，6株菌株所发酵酸奶均在6~8 h内凝固，酸乳在冷藏期间，活菌数均保持在107 CFU/mL以上，均符合发酵剂的标准，其中菌株276的最高为3.22×106 CFU/mL；菌株218发酵制得的酸奶质构特性较好，持水力和酸化能力较其余菌株均最强，分别为60.98%和83 °T；菌株276、266抗后酸化能力较好；菌株231产香性能最优，乙醛含量为24~26 μg/mL，双乙酰含量为1.58~3.73 μg/mL，能够明显改善酸奶的风味。通过综合比较6株高产胞外多糖乳酸菌特性及发酵性能，菌株218为一株性能良好、具有良好稳定性的菌株，可作为乳酸菌发酵剂且具有一定的应用潜力。研究为利用四川藏区传统牦牛酸奶中分离出的高产胞外多糖乳酸菌在发酵乳制品的应用提供理论依据。     

High energy storage and ultrafast discharge in NaNbO3-based lead-free dielectric capacitors via a relaxor strategy

Dielectric capacitors with decent energy storage and fast charge-discharge performances are essential in advanced pulsed power systems. In this study, novel ceramics (1-x)NaNbO₃-xBi(Ni_2/3Nb_1/3)O₃(xBNN, x = 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.20) with high energy storage capability, large power density and ultrafast discharge speed were designed and prepared. The impedance analysis proves that the introducing an appropriate amount of Bi(Ni_0·5Nb_0.5)O₃ boosts the insulation ability, thus obtaining a high breakdown strength (E_b) of 440 kV/cm in xBNN ceramics. A high energy storage density (W_total) of 4.09 J/cm³, recoverable energy storage density (W_rec) of 3.31 J/cm³, and efficiency (η) of 80.9% were attained in the 0.15BNN ceramics. Furthermore, frequency and temperature stability (fluctuations of W_rec ≤ 0.4% over 5–100 Hz and W_rec ≤ 12.3% over 20–120 °C) were also observed. The 0.15BNN ceramics exhibited a large power density (19 MW/cm³) and ultrafast discharge time (~37 ns) over the range of ambient temperature to 120 °C. These enhanced performances may be attributed to the improved breakdown strength and relaxor behavior through the incorporation of BNN. In conclusion, these findings indicate that 0.15BNN ceramics may serve as promising materials for pulsed power systems.
