Although rechargeable aqueous zinc‐ion batteries have attracted extensive interest due to their environmental friendliness and low cost, they still lack suitable cathodes with high rate capabilities, which are hampered by the intense charge repulsion of bivalent Zn2+. Here, a novel intercalation pseudocapacitance behavior and ultrafast kinetics of Zn2+ into the unique tunnels of VO2 (B) nanofibers in aqueous electrolyte are demonstrated via in situ X‐ray diffraction and various electrochemical measurements. Because VO2 (B) nanofibers possess unique tunnel transport pathways with big sizes (0.82 and 0.5 nm2 along the b‐ and c‐axes) and little structural change on Zn2+ intercalation, the limitation from solid‐state diffusion in the vanadium dioxide electrode is eliminated. Thus, VO2 (B) nanofibers exhibit a high reversible capacity of 357 mAh g?1, excellent rate capability (171 mAh g?1 at 300 C), and high energy and power densities as applied for zinc‐ion storage. 相似文献
A novel biochar adsorbent (GP-AMT) is prepared by functionalizing biochar derived from pomelo peel to eliminate Pb (II) from water. GP-AMT was characterized by FTIR, SEM, BET, TGA and XPS. GP-AMT has a large specific area and is multiaperture. The adsorption performance was studied. At the pH = 5, the maximum uptake amount of Pb(II) on GP-AMT reached 420 mg/g. The sorption behavior of GP-AMT obeys with Langmuir and pseudo second-order formula, which shows that the adsorbing property of GP-AMT is uniform chemical sorption. Thermodynamic studies attested that the sorption was an irreversible endothermic course. GP-AMT demonstrated excellent selectivity and reproducibility. After 5 cycles, it still has an excellent sorption property. XPS and zeta potential analysis revealed that the adsorbing nature of GP-AMT for heavy metal ions was coordination and ion exchange. In conclusion, surface modification of biochar can significantly improve its sorption capacity, selectivity and regenerative ability for Pb(II), and reduce the pomelo peel waste pollution. 相似文献
Prediction intervals (PIs) for industrial time series can provide useful guidance for workers. Given that the failure of industrial sensors may cause the missing point in inputs, the existing kernel dynamic Bayesian networks (KDBN), serving as an effective method for PIs construction, suffer from high computational load using the stochastic algorithm for inference. This study proposes a variational inference method for the KDBN for the purpose of fast inference, which avoids the time-consuming stochastic sampling. The proposed algorithm contains two stages. The first stage involves the inference of the missing inputs by using a local linearization based variational inference, and based on the computed posterior distributions over the missing inputs the second stage sees a Gaussian approximation for probability over the nodes in future time slices. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, a synthetic dataset and a practical dataset of generation flow of blast furnace gas (BFG) are employed with different ratios of missing inputs. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method can provide reliable PIs for the generation flow of BFG and it exhibits shorter computing time than the stochastic based one. 相似文献
It is very significant for a reasonable vehicle routing and scheduling in city airport shuttle service to decrease operational costs and increase passenger satisfaction. Most of the existing reports for such problems assumed that the travel time was invariable. However, the ever-increasing traffic congestion often makes it variable. In this study, considering the time-varying networks, a vehicle routing and scheduling method is proposed, where the time-varying feature enables the traveler to select a direction among all the Pareto-optimal paths at each node in response to the knowledge of the time window demands. Such Pareto-optimal paths are referred to hyperpaths herein. To obtain the hyperpaths, an exact algorithm is designed in this study for addressing the bi-criteria shortest paths problem, where the travel time comes to be discontinuous time-varying. Given the techniques that generate all Pareto-optimal solutions exhibiting exponential worst-case computational complexity, embedded in the exact algorithm, a computationally efficient bound strategy is reported on the basis of passenger locations, pickup time windows and arrival time windows. As such, the vehicle routing and scheduling problem viewed as an arc selection model can be solved by a proposed heuristic algorithm combined with a dynamic programming method. A series of experiments by using the practical pickup data indicate that the proposed methods can obtain cost-saving schedules under the condition of time-varying travel times.
Disturbance observer‐based elegant anti‐disturbance control (DOBEADC) scheme is proposed for a class of stochastic systems with nonlinear dynamics and multiple disturbances. The stochastic disturbance observer based on pole placement is constructed to estimate disturbance which is generated by an exogenous system. Then, composite DOBC and controller is designed to guarantee the composite system is mean‐square stable and its performance satisfies a prescribed level. Finally, simulations on an A4D aircraft model show the effectiveness of the proposed approaches. 相似文献
