The effects of PVP surfactant in the direct and indirect hydrothermal synthesis processes of ceria nanostructures

CeO₂ nanostructures with completely different morphologies were successfully prepared using the same cerium source and mineralizer through the direct and indirect hydrothermal methods with different introducing strategies of PVP surfactant. The CeO₂ nanostructures tend to form the morphologies of nano-flowers and nano-cubes through the indirect and direct hydrothermal methods, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses revealed that both as-prepared nanostructures are composed of CeO₂ with a standard fluorite structure. The different synthesis mechanisms and corresponding chemical evolutions of the as-prepared CeO₂ nanostructures are discussed based on the different introducing strategies of PVP surfactant in the direct and indirect hydrothermal processes. Investigation of the UV-shielding ability of both CeO₂ nanostructures suggested that the UV absorbance of the nano-flowers is much higher than that of the nano-cubes.     

Dried jujube classification using support vector machine based on fractal parameters and red,green and blue intensity

A new method that combines fractal theory and red, green and blue (RGB) colour intensity was developed to sort dried jujube fruits by using support vector machine (SVM). Our result shows that the new method is fast and accurate in dried jujube fruits classification. The SVM models based on fractal parameters only achieved 85.18–92.73% total accuracy rate. The total classification accuracy of SVM based on RGB intensity values was 94.44%. However, the SVM models based on combining fractal parameters with RGB intensity values achieved 94.44–98.15% total accuracy rate. The best classification accuracy (98.15%) was found when using SVM model based on combining fractal measures (FM) with RGB intensity values (C = 512, γ = 0.0078125). Therefore, the SVM model based on combining FMs with RGB intensity is recommended in dried jujube fruits classification.     

Synthesis, Characterization and Gas Sensing Properties of In（OH）3 and In2O3 Nanorods through Carbon Spheres Template Method

Poly-crystalline In(OH) 3 nanorods have been successfully prepared via a urea-based precipitation using the colloidal carbon spheres as the templates. After calcinations, the resulted In 2 O 3 nanorods with poly-crystalline structure were fabricated. Structure and morphology of the product were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The possible formation process was schemed. The sensor gas properties towards C 2 H 5 OH and CO were examined.     

Ultrathin MoSSe alloy nanosheets anchored on carbon nanotubes as advanced catalysts for hydrogen evolution

The activity of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) derives from the active sites at the edges, but the basal surface still remain catalytic insert. Herein, ultrathin MoSSe alloy nanosheets array on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to form a core shell structure via a simple solvothermal process. These three-dimensional (3D) MoSSe hybrids show a high activity in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with a small Tafel slope of 38 mV dec⁻¹ and a low overpotential of 102 mV at 10 mA cm⁻². In addition, their HER activity remains remarkably stable without significant decay after 100 h polarization. Such superior catalytic HER activity springs from the 3D hierarchical heterostructure, which is abundant of catalytic edge sites, and the alloy effect between S and Se, which will create huge defects and strain to form vacancy sites on the basal plane. This strategy may open a new avenue toward the development of nonprecious high-performance HER catalysts.     

Photodeposited CoOx as highly active phases to boost water oxidation on BiVO4/WO3 photoanode

Surface decoration of photoanodes with oxygen evolution cocatalysts is an efficient approach to improve the photoelectrochemical water splitting performance. Herein, ultrafine CoO_x was selectively immobilized on the surface of BiVO₄/WO₃ photoanode by using the photogenerated holes to in-situ oxidize Co₄O₄ cubane. The composited photoanode (CoO_x/BiVO₄/WO₃) displayed an enhanced photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation performance, with a photocurrent density of 2.3 mA/cm² at 1.23 V_RHE under the simulated sunlight irradiation, which was 2 times higher than that of bare BiVO₄/WO₃. The characterization results for the morphological, optical and electrochemical properties of the photoelectrodes revealed that, the enhanced PEC performances could be attributed to the improved charge carrier separation/transport behaviors and the promoted water oxidation kinetics when the photoelectrodes were loaded with CoO_x.     

PtIr alloy nanowire assembly on carbon cloth as advanced anode catalysts for methanol oxidation

The interconnecred PtIr alloy nanowires were uniformly deposited on carbon cloth via One-step wet chemistry method, which diameter is averaged to be 5 nm with a length of 50–200 nm. The carbon cloth supported PtIr nanowire assembly (PtIr NA/CC) shows a larger electrochemical active surface area (ECSA) due to its 3D nanostructure and a high CO-resistance as a result from the synergistic effect of PtIr alloy. The PtIr NA/CC exhibits an extremely high mass activity and a reliable long-term stability toward methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). The superior catalytic performance on MOR can match and even surpass those best Pt-based nanowires reported recently in the literature.     

Enhanced CO2/N2 selectivity in amidoxime-modified porous carbon

In this work, we examine the use of the amidoxime functional group grafted onto a hierarchical porous carbon framework for the selective capture and removal of carbon dioxide from combustion streams. Measured CO₂/N₂ ideal selectivity values for the amidoxime-grafted carbon were significantly higher than the pristine porous carbon with improvements of 65%. Though the overall CO₂ capacity decreased slightly for the activated carbon from 4.97 mmol g⁻¹ to 4.24 mmol g⁻¹ after surface modification due to a reduction in the total surface area, the isosteric heats of adsorption increased after amidoxime incorporation indicating an increased interaction of CO₂ with the sorbent. Total capacity was reproducible and stable after multiple adsorption/desorption cycles with no loss of capacity suggesting that modification with the amidoxime group is a potential method to enhance carbon capture.     

Data-based controllability analysis of discrete-time linear time-delay systems

In this paper, a data-based method is used to analyse the controllability of discrete-time linear time-delay systems. By this method, one can directly construct a controllability matrix using the measured state data without identifying system parameters. Hence, one can save time in practice and avoid corresponding identification errors. Moreover, its calculation precision is higher than some other traditional approaches, which need to identify unknown parameters. Our methods are feasible to the study of characteristics of deterministic systems. A numerical example is given to show the advantage of our results.     

Elimination of zero-order diffraction and conjugate image in off-axis digital holography

The presence of zero-order diffraction and a conjugate image in digital holography essentially diminishes the quality of the reconstructed image. In this paper, a novel method that adopts numerical operation to eliminate the zero-order diffraction and conjugate image is presented. The whole process needs only one hologram and a complex finite impulse response (FIR) digital filter. The method of numerical elimination is simple; it filters the hologram directly in the spatial domain instead of in the frequency domain. The design of a complex finite impulse response filter is described in detail. The experimental results demonstrate that the operation can completely eliminate the zero-order diffraction and conjugate image and significantly enhance the quality of the reconstructed image.
