低热水泥混凝土在特高拱坝中应用的可行性分析

针对低热水泥混凝土早期强度低,在大坝主体中应用较少,低热水泥混凝土能否应用于高拱坝工程仍存疑虑的情况,以白鹤滩工程为例,采用室内试验资料对比和有限元仿真结果对比相结合的方法,对白鹤滩拱坝拟采用的中热水泥混凝土和低热水泥混凝土的材料特性和温度应力仿真结果进行了对比分析。结果表明,从材料特性的角度来看,低热水泥与中热水泥混凝土各有优劣,低热水泥混凝土早龄期强度低不利于防裂,但低热水泥的绝热温升低、早期发热慢、弹模小、徐变大这些因素均有利降低整体应力水平,后期强度高则有利于提高后期安全系数,降低开裂风险。此外,有限元计算结果表明,在相同的温控措施和边界条件下,低热水泥混凝土最高温度比中热水泥混凝土低2～3℃,低热水泥混凝土冷却全过程的安全系数均要大于中热水泥混凝土,且在2. 0以上。研究成果进一步证实了低热水泥混凝土比中热水泥混凝土具有更好的抗裂特性,可以应用于特高拱坝,也为白鹤滩拱坝全坝采用低热水泥混凝土提供了重要支撑。     

镁质晶须对油井水泥石力学性能的影响

为提高油井水泥石强度,选用镁质晶须MBW为增强剂,研究了MBW在不同掺量下对水泥浆体的基本性能及水泥石力学性能的影响,并通过XRD、MIP及SEM等表征方法进行了探讨。结果表明,油井水泥中掺入1%~5%的镁质晶须后,其浆体密度及凝结时间基本不变;流动度随晶须掺量的增加而降低,通过加入减阻剂USZ来改善;水泥石的抗压强度、抗折强度随晶须掺量的增加得到明显提高,当晶须掺量为4%时,80℃下水泥石1、3、7和28 d抗压强度比净浆水泥石分别提高8.3%、15.4%、21.5%和18.8%,抗折强度分别提高9.4%、19.4%、13.1%和0.3%。镁质晶须属于惰性微填料,可填充水泥石内部的有害孔隙,增加水泥石密实度,同时作为微纤维,在水泥石内部通过桥连、拔出、剥离、折断等作用机制起到对水泥石增强增韧的双重功效。     

基于蛾眼阵列的全向宽光谱减反层优化设计

为降低太阳电池封装材料PET薄膜的反射率,采用严格耦合波分析(RCWA)方法对基于蛾眼阵列的减反层进行了优化设计。对比研究了圆锥形、抛物线形和正弦形蛾眼结构的减反性能,结果表明圆锥形蛾眼结构具有最佳全向宽光谱减反性能。分析了圆锥体几何参数对太阳光透过率的影响,为参数选取提供依据。在此基础上,提出基于柱形与锥形复合结构的蛾眼阵列,通过参数优化,进一步提高了太阳光在大角度入射条件下的透过率。优化后复合结构的蛾眼阵列的PET薄膜对波长范围在0.3~1.1μm、入射角度为0°~90°的入射太阳光角度归一化透过率达到0.966 4,相比于未采取减反措施的PET薄膜透过率提高12.77%。     

Flat band voltage modulation of AlGaN/GaN MOS capacitor with stacked Al2O3/La2O3 high dielectric structures

AlGaN/GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitor structures using atomic layer deposited high-dielectric-constant (High-k) Al₂O₃/La₂O₃ bilayer films as dielectric have been investigated using high-frequency capacitance-voltage measurement. The stable thickness and uniform surface morphology of the bilayer films with different La/Al deposition cycle ratio (La/Al ratio) were observed after rapid thermal annealing by spectroscopic ellipsometry and atomic force microscopy, respectively. We have found that with a decrease of the La/Al ratio, the dipole layer observed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy at Al₂O₃/La₂O₃ interfaces is close to the surface of semiconductor and the flat band voltage shifts to the negative direction. Furthermore, the dramatic drop in dielectric constant of the films as La/Al ratio decrease was caused by the formation of La(OH)₃ in La₂O₃. Finally, the reason for the flat band voltage shifts, which is based on the dielectric constant of Al₂O₃ and La₂O₃ comprising the position of dipole layer in the dielectric films, is proposed.     

VOC enhancement in polymer solar cells with isobenzofulvene–C60 adducts

We report the use of isobenzofulvene–C₆₀ adducts in bulk heterojunction organic solar cells, synthesized via the [4 + 2] cycloaddition of C₆₀ with an in situ generated isobenzofulvene intermediate. The LUMO energy levels of these adducts are 20–180 meV higher than that of PCBM ([6,6]-phenyl-C₆₁-butyric acid methyl ester). This large increase of the LUMO level is attributed to cofacial π-orbital interactions between the fullerene surface and the isobenzofulvene π–system (aromatic ring and double bond). Raised LUMO levels of fullerenes, together with their desirably slow recombination dynamics, led to higher open-circuit voltages (V_OC) in bulk heterojunction polymer solar cells (up to 0.75 V for bisadducts) relative to cells tested in parallel using the well-known PCBM as the fullerene acceptor. In addition to enhanced V_OC, the short-circuit current densities (J_SC) were improved in the devices containing the epoxide analogs of the isobenzofulvene–C₆₀. Notably the epoxide derivative of the monoadduct (IBF–Ep) exhibited ∼20% enhancement of power conversion efficiency (PCE) compared to reference P3HT:PCBM solar cells. A combination of optical and electronic methods was used to investigate the origin of the PCE enhancement observed with these new fullerene acceptors with particular attention to the increased V_OCs.     

Compressive stress-strain model for low-calcium fly ash-based geopolymer and heat-cured Portland cement concrete

This research focuses on elucidating the present knowledge gaps in geopolymer concrete's engineering properties, specifically its stress-strain behaviour. Geopolymer concrete (GPC) is an emerging alternative to ordinary Portland cement concrete (OPCC), and is produced via a polycondensation reaction between aluminosilicate source materials and an alkaline solution. As a relatively new material, many engineering properties of geopolymer concrete are still undetermined. In this paper, the compressive strength, modulus of elasticity and stress-strain behaviour of ambient and heat-cured GPC and OPCC have been studied experimentally. A total of 195 geopolymer concrete cylinders and 210 Portland cement concrete cylinders were tested for the above mentioned characteristics. Based on the experimental results, constitutive models describing the complete stress–strain behaviour in uniaxial compression have been developed for the low-calcium fly ash-based geopolymer concrete and the heat-cured Portland cement concrete.     

Dual‐Layer Hollow Fibers for Sulfur Removal from Fuels

Emission of sulfur compounds to the atmosphere is universally recognized as one key target to be reduced. For membrane pervaporation which is considered as a potential purification process of fuels, dual‐layer polyurethane (PU)/polyethersulfone hollow‐fiber membranes were prepared. A novel fabrication technique is proposed using a quadruple spinneret to produce the fiber with such morphology by simultaneous spinning of two polymer solutions in the presence of two corresponding precipitation media. Activated carbon was added into the PU solution to improve the transport properties of the selective layer. Resulting hollow‐fiber membranes showed very good adhesion between the selective layer and its support, in addition to an effective removal of a sulfur compound such as 2‐methyl thiophene from a typical model fuel, an indication of good prospects for both the fabrication technique and for sulfur removal by pervaporation of fuels.     

Tailoring the hydrophilic and hydrophobic reaction fields of the electrode interface on single crystal Pt electrodes for hydrogen evolution/oxidation reactions

Interfacial hydrophobic/hydrophilic reaction fields significantly affect various reactions at the electrode surface. The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) have been investigated on single crystal Pt electrodes modified with hydrophobic/hydrophilic cations and anion-exchange copolymers in alkaline solutions. In alkali metal hydroxide solutions, Pt (110) exhibits the highest HER/HOR activity in the low-index planes of Pt. On the low-index planes of Pt, the hydrophilicity of the alkali metal cation in the supporting electrolyte activates the HER/HOR depending on its hydration energy. Hydrophilic cations at the interface facilitate the extraction of hydrogen from the hydrated water. The modification of anion-exchange copolymers with a hydrophobic skeleton on Pt (110) further enhanced the HER/HOR activity. The hydrogen bonding network formed around the hydrophobic species facilitated the mobility of water molecules and the OH⁻ as the reactant/product of the HER/HOR. Appropriately forming hydrophilic and hydrophobic reaction fields at the interface improved the HER/HOR activity.     

Effect of transition metal doping on the sintering and electrochemical properties of GDC buffer layer in SOFCs

A dense Ce_0.9Gd_0.1O_2−d (GDC) interlayer is an essential component of the SOFCs to inhibit interfacial elemental diffusion between zirconia-based electrolytes (eg YSZ) and cathodes. However, the characteristic high sintering temperature of GDC (>1400°C) makes it challenging to fabricate an effective highly dense interlayer owing to the formation of more resistive (Zr,Ce)O₂ interfacial solid solutions with YSZ at those temperatures. To fabricate a useful GDC interlayer, we studied the influence of transition metal (TM) (Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, & Zn) doping on the sintering and electrochemical properties of GDC. Dilatometry data showed dramatic drops in the necking and final sintering temperatures for the TM-doped GDCs, improving the densification of the GDC in the order of Fe > Co > Mn > Cu > Zn. However, the electrochemical impedance data showed that among various transition metal dopants, Mn doping resulted in the best electrochemical properties. Anode supported SOFCs with Mn-doped, nano, and commercial-micron GDC interlayers were compared with regard to their performance and stability levels. Although all of the SOFCs showed stable performance, the SOFC with the Mn-doped GDC interlayer showed the highest power density of 1.14 W cm⁻² at 750°C. Hence, Mn-doped GDC is suggested for application as an effective diffusion barrier layer in SOFCs.
