Carbon Black-Supported Single-Atom Co?N?C as an Efficient Oxygen Reduction Electrocatalyst for H2O2 Production in Acidic Media and Microbial Fuel Cell in Neutral Media

Single metal atom isolated in nitrogen-doped carbon materials (M N C) are effective electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), which produces H₂O₂ or H₂O via 2-electron or 4-electron process. However, most of M N C catalysts can only present high selectivity for one product, and the selectivity is usually regulated by complicated structure design. Herein, a carbon black-supported Co N C catalyst (CB@Co N C) is synthesized. Tunable 2-electron/4-electron behavior is realized on CB@Co-N-C by utilizing its H₂O₂ yield dependence on electrolyte pH and catalyst loading. In acidic media with low catalyst loading, CB@Co N C presents excellent mass activity and high selectivity for H₂O₂ production. In flow cell with gas diffusion electrode, a H₂O₂ production rate of 5.04 mol h⁻¹ g⁻¹ is achieved by CB@Co N C on electrolyte circulation mode, and a long-term H₂O₂ production of 200 h is demonstrated on electrolyte non-circulation mode. Meanwhile, CB@Co N C exhibits a dominant 4-electron ORR pathway with high activity and durability in pH neutral media with high catalyst loading. The microbial fuel cell using CB@Co N C as the cathode catalyst shows a peak power density close to that of benchmark Pt/C catalyst.

Confined Ferroelectric Properties in Poly(Vinylidene Fluoride‐co‐Chlorotrifluoroethylene)‐graft‐Polystyrene Graft Copolymers for Electric Energy Storage Applications

Dielectric polymer film capacitors having high energy density, low loss and fast discharge speed are highly desirable for compact and reliable electrical power systems. In this work, we study the confined ferroelectric properties in a series of poly(vinylidene fluoride‐co‐chlorotrifluoroethylene)‐graft‐polystyrene [P(VDF‐CTFE)‐g‐PS] graft copolymers, and their potential application as high energy density and low loss capacitor films. Thin films (ca. 20 μm) are prepared by different processing methods, namely, hot‐pressing or solution‐casting followed by mechanical stretching at elevated temperatures. After crystallization‐induced microphase separation, PS side chains are segregated to the periphery of PVDF crystals, forming a confining interfacial layer. Due to the low polarizability of this confining PS‐rich layer at the amorphous–crystalline interface, the compensation polarization is substantially decreased resulting in a novel confined ferroelectric behavior in these graft copolymers. Both dielectric and ferroelectric losses are significantly reduced at the expense of a moderate decrease in discharged energy density. Our study indicates that the best performance is achieved for a P(VDF‐CTFE)‐g‐PS graft copolymer with 34 wt‐% PS; a relatively high discharged energy density of approximately 10 J cm^?3 at 600 MV m^?1, a low dielectric loss (tanδ = 0.006 at 1 kHz), and a low hysteresis loop loss (17.6%) at 550 MV m^?1.     

Tuning a Solvation Structure of Lithium Ions Coordinated with Nitrate Anions through Ionic Liquid-Based Solvent for Highly Stable Lithium Metal Batteries

Rational design of promising electrolyte is considered as an effective strategy to improve the cycling stability of lithium metal batteries (LMBs). Here, an elaborately designed ionic liquid-based electrolyte is proposed that is composed of lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide as the lithium salt, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium nitrate ionic liquid ([EMIm][NO₃] IL) and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) as the functional solvents, and 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) as the diluent solvent. Using [EMIm][NO₃] IL as the solvent component facilitates a special Li⁺-coordinated NO₃⁻ solvation structure, which enables the continues electrochemical reduction of solvated NO₃⁻ and the formation of remarkably stable and conductive solid electrolyte interface. With FEC as another functional solvent and DME as the diluent solvent, the formulated electrolyte delivers high oxidative stability and ionic conductivity, and endows improved electrochemical reaction kinetics. Therefore, the formulated electrolyte demonstrates exceedingly reversible and stable Li stripping/plating behavior with high average Coulombic efficiency (98.8%) and ultralong cycling stability (3500 h). Notably, the high-voltage Li|LiNi_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1O₂ full cell with IL-based electrolyte exhibits enhanced cyclability with a capacity retention of 65% after 200 cycles under harsh conditions of low negative/positive ratio (3.1) and lean electrolyte (2.5 µL mg⁻¹). This study creates the first NO₃⁻-based ionic liquid electrolyte and evokes the avenue for practical high-voltage LMBs.     

Spectrum leasing based on Nash Bargaining Solution in cognitive radio networks

Cognitive radio is becoming an emerging technology that has the potential of dealing with the stringent requirement and scarcity of the radio spectrum resource. In this paper, we focus on the dynamic spectrum access of cognitive radio networks, in which the primary user (PU) and secondary users (SUs) coexist. In property-rights model, the PU has property of the bandwidth and may decide to lease it to secondary network for a fraction of time in exchange for appropriate remuneration. We propose a cooperative communication-aware spectrum leasing framework, in which, PU selects SUs as cooperative relays to help transmit information, while the selected SUs have the right to decide their payment made for PU in order to obtain a proportional access time to the spectrum. Then, the spectrum leasing scheme is cast into a Nash Bargaining Problem, and the Nash Bargaining Solution (NBS) can be used to fairly and efficiently address the resource allocation between PU and secondary network, enhancing both the utility of PU and secondary network. Numerical results show that spectrum leasing based on NBS is an effective method to improve performance for cognitive radio networks.

A new composite assembly mechanism for supporting QoS in OBS networks

To provide the differential quality of service（QoS）for different classes of packets and reduce the packet loss probabil ity（PLP）,a novel priority-based composite assembly scheme for optical burst switching（OBS）networks is proposed The low and high packet classes are aggregated into a single burst simultaneously,and the highest-priority packets ar placed in the middle,while the low-priority packets are at the tail and head of the burst.The priority is lowered gradu ally from the middle to the ends.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed assembly strategy not only guaran tees the integrity of the high-priority bursts,but also significantly reduces the average end-to-end delay of the burst and the PLP of network.So it can adapt to the flexible network with QoS requirement.     

Detection of lead ions with AlGaAs/InGaAs pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor

Lead poisoning is a serious environmental concern, which is a health threat. Existing technologies always have some drawbacks, which restrict their application ranges, such as real time monitoring. To solve this problem, glutathione was functionalized on the Au-coated gate area of the pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) to detect trace amounts of Pb²⁺. The positive charge of lead ions will cause a positive potential on the Au gate of the pHEMT sensor, which will increase the current between the source and the drain. The response range for Pb²⁺ detection has been determined in the concentrations from 0.1 pmol/L to 10 pmol/L. To our knowledge, this is currently the best result for detecting lead ions.     

Regularizing common spatial patterns to improve BCI designs: unified theory and new algorithms

One of the most popular feature extraction algorithms for brain-computer interfaces (BCI) is common spatial patterns (CSPs). Despite its known efficiency and widespread use, CSP is also known to be very sensitive to noise and prone to overfitting. To address this issue, it has been recently proposed to regularize CSP. In this paper, we present a simple and unifying theoretical framework to design such a regularized CSP (RCSP). We then present a review of existing RCSP algorithms and describe how to cast them in this framework. We also propose four new RCSP algorithms. Finally, we compare the performances of 11 different RCSP (including the four new ones and the original CSP), on electroencephalography data from 17 subjects, from BCI competition datasets. Results showed that the best RCSP methods can outperform CSP by nearly 10% in median classification accuracy and lead to more neurophysiologically relevant spatial filters. They also enable us to perform efficient subject-to-subject transfer. Overall, the best RCSP algorithms were CSP with Tikhonov regularization and weighted Tikhonov regularization, both proposed in this paper.
