含Ce2O3氧化物对改善双相不锈钢亚稳态点蚀的机理研究

利用扫描电镜、原子力显微镜、恒电位脉冲等研究了2205双相不锈钢在中性含Cl-环境下氧化物引起点蚀萌生的机理。实验发现MgO-Al_2O_3系夹杂物中MgO偏聚处以及MgO-Al_2O_3-CaO系夹杂物中CaO富集处会引起夹杂物处基体同周围基体接触电势差增加。此外,CaO富集处易使夹杂物表面出现显微缝隙并使基体裸露,产生亚稳态蚀坑。经Ce处理后发现夹杂物成分变为含Ce_2O_3·11Al_2O_3或Ce_2O_3·Al_2O_3为主的复合夹杂,夹杂物与基体接触电势差减小并且在含Ce_2O_3复合夹杂物处未发现点蚀萌生现象,最后阐述了非金属氧化物引起点蚀的机理以及Ce与氧化物反应的机制。

Ultrathin two-dimensional materials for photo- and electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution

Sustainable hydrogen production via photocatalytic, electrocatalytic, and synergetic photoelectrocatalytic processes has been regarded as an effective strategy to address both energy and environmental crises.

This review presents a critical appraisal of advantages and advancements for ultrathin 2D materials in catalytic hydrogen evolution, with an emphasis on structure–activity relationship.

Refractive indices of layers and optical simulations of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cells

Cu(In,Ga)Se₂-based solar cells have reached efficiencies close to 23%. Further knowledge-driven improvements require accurate determination of the material properties. Here, we present refractive indices for all layers in Cu(In,Ga)Se₂ solar cells with high efficiency. The optical bandgap of Cu(In,Ga)Se₂ does not depend on the Cu content in the explored composition range, while the absorption coefficient value is primarily determined by the Cu content. An expression for the absorption spectrum is proposed, with Ga and Cu compositions as parameters. This set of parameters allows accurate device simulations to understand remaining absorption and carrier collection losses and develop strategies to improve performances.     

Composite‐Structure Material Design for High‐Energy Lithium Storage

High‐energy storage devices are in demand for the rapid development of modern society. Until now, many kinds of energy storage devices, such as lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs), sodium‐ion batteries (NIBs), and so on, have been developed in the past 30 years. However, most of the commercially exploited and studied active electrode materials of these energy storage devices possess a single phase with low reversible capacity or unsatisfied cycle stability. Continuous and extensive research efforts are made to develop alternative materials with a higher specific energy density and long cycle life by element doping or surface modification. A novel strategy of forming composite‐structure electrode materials by introducing structure units has attracted great attention in recent years. Herein, based on previous publications on these composite‐structure materials, some important scientific points focusing on the design of composite‐structure materials for better electrochemical performances reveal the distinction of composite structures based on average and local structure analysis methods, and an understanding of the relationship between these interior composite structures and their electrochemical performances is discussed thoroughly. The lithiation/delithiation mechanism and the remaining challenges and perspectives for composite‐structure electrode materials are also elaborated.
