Achieving fast and bandwidth-efficient shared-path protection

Dynamic provisioning of restorable bandwidth guaranteed paths is a challenge in the design of broad-band transport networks, especially next-generation optical networks. A common approach is called (failure-independent) path protection, whereby for every mission-critical active path to be established, a link (or node) disjoint backup path (BP) is also established. To optimize network resource utilization, shared path protection should be adopted, which often allows a new BP to share the bandwidth allocated to some existing BPs. However, it usually leads the backup paths to use too many links, with zero cost in term of additional backup bandwidth, along its route. It will violate the restoration time guarantee. In this paper, we propose novel integer linear programming (ILP) formulations by introducing two parameters (/spl epsi/ and /spl mu/) in both the sharing with complete information (SCI) scheme and the distributed partial information management (DPIM) scheme. Our results show that the proposed ILP formulations can not only improve the network resource utilization effectively, but also keep the BPs as short as possible.     

On the complexity of and algorithms for finding the shortest path with a disjoint counterpart

Finding a disjoint path pair is an important component in survivable networks. Since the traffic is carried on the active (working) path most of the time, it is useful to find a disjoint path pair such that the length of the shorter path (to be used as the active path) is minimized. In this paper, we first address such a Min-Min problem. We prove that this problem is NP-complete in either single link cost (e.g., dedicated backup bandwidth) or dual link cost (e.g., shared backup bandwidth) networks. In addition, it is NP-hard to obtain a K-approximation to the optimal solution for any K>1. Our proof is extended to another open question regarding the computational complexity of a restricted version of the Min-Sum problem in an undirected network with ordered dual cost links (called the MSOD problem). To solve the Min-Min problem efficiently, we introduce a novel concept called conflicting link set which provides insights into the so-called trap problem, and develop a divide-and-conquer strategy. The result is an effective heuristic for the Min-Min problem called COnflicting Link Exclusion (COLE), which can outperform other approaches in terms of both the optimality and running time. We also apply COLE to the MSOD problem to efficiently provide shared path protection and conduct comprehensive performance evaluation as well as comparison of various schemes for shared path protection. We show that COLE not only processes connection requests much faster than existing integer linear programming (ILP)-based approaches but also achieves a good balance among the active path length, bandwidth efficiency, and recovery time.     

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.     

Regulating Fe Aggregation State via Unique Fe?N?V Pre-Coordination to Optimize the Adsorption-Catalysis Effect in High-Performance Lithium-Sulfur Batteries

Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) suffer from uncontrollable shuttling behavior of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs: Li₂S_x, 4 ≤ x ≤8) and the sluggish reaction kinetics of bidirectional liquid-solid transformations, which are commonly coped through a comprehensive adsorption-catalysis strategy. Herein, a unique Fe N V pre-coordination is introduced to regulate the content of “dissociative Fe³⁺” in liquid phase, realizing the successful construction of N-doped micro-mesoporous “urchin-like” hollow carbon nanospheres decorated with single atom Fe-N₄ sites and VN nanoparticles (denoted as SA-Fe/VN@NMC). The strong chemisorption ability toward LiPSs and catalyzed Li₂S decomposition behavior on VN, along with the boosted reaction kinetics for sulfur reduction on SA-Fe sites are experimentally and theoretically evidenced. Moreover, the nanoscale-neighborhood distribution of VN and SA-Fe active sites presents synergistic effect for the anchoring-reduction-decomposition process of sulfur species. Thus SA-Fe/VN@NMC presents an optimized adsorption-catalysis effect for the whole sulfur conversion. Therefore, the SA-Fe/VN@NMC based Li-S cells exhibit high cyclic stability (a low decay of 0.024% per cycle over 700 cycles at 1 C, sulfur content: 70 wt%) and considerable rate performance (683.2 mAh g⁻¹ at 4 C). Besides, a high areal capacity of 5.06 mAh cm⁻² is retained after 100 cycles under the high sulfur loading of 5.6 mg cm⁻². This work provides a new perspective to design the integrated electrocatalysts comprising hetero-formed bimetals in LSBs.
