Electrolytic cell engineering and device optimization for electrosynthesis of e-biofuels via co-valorisation of bio-feedstocks and captured CO2

Utilizing CO₂ in an electro-chemical process and synthesizing value-added chemicals are amongst the few viable and scalable pathways in carbon capture and utilization technologies.CO₂ electro-reduction is also counted as one of the main options entailing less fossil fuel consumption and as a future electrical energy storage strategy.The current study aims at developing a new electrochemical platform to produce low-carbon e-biofuel through multifunctional electrosynthesis and integrated co-valorisation of biomass feedstocks with captured CO₂.In this approach,CO₂ is reduced at the cathode to produce drop-in fuels(e.g.,methanol)while value-added chemicals(e.g.,selective oxidation of alcohols,aldehydes,carboxylic acids and amines/amides)are produced at the anode.In this work,a numerical model of a continuous-flow design considering various anodic and cathodic reactions was built to determine the most techno-economically feasible configurations from the aspects of energy efficiency,environment impact and economical values.The reactor design was then optimized via parametric analysis.     

改进的永磁同步电机双矢量模型预测转矩控制

针对永磁同步电机（PMSM）传统模型预测转矩控制（MPTC）权重系数设置复杂、转矩和磁通脉动大的问题,提出了一种改进的PMSM双矢量MPTC方法。该方法扩展虚拟矢量以增加候选电压矢量,结合电压矢量作用于转矩和磁链的原则,减少选择候选矢量的计算量。同时,针对转矩无差拍和磁通无差拍,运用候选矢量的转矩占空比和磁通占空比构造了优化规则代替传统预测转矩控制中的代价函数,避免权重系数的整定问题。仿真结果表明,所提改进方法不仅提高稳态性能,而且能保持MPTC动态响应迅速的特点。     

基于模型预测的PMSM速度环PI自整定控制

与传统的矢量控制相比,有限集模型预测控制（FCS-MPC）通过算法直接得到驱动信号,省略了脉宽调制环节,且响应性能也比较优越。利用改进型FCS-MPC算法,构建只含有转速环的控制系统传递函数,针对负载变化和参数扰动的工况,分别利用传递函数的频率特性分析法和典型系统整定法设计基于速度环的PI自整定方案。经过仿真对比验证,发现在该控制方法下因负载转矩和参数变化引起转速变化的波动更小且恢复时间更短,证明了该方法的可行性和有效性。     

单向受拉状态下钢纤维混凝土的二次峰值强度

不同于普通混凝土在单向受拉实验中的仅有唯一峰值强度,在大量钢纤维混凝土拉伸实验的应力应变曲线中均出现了两次峰值强度现象。本文采用黏结滑移模型考虑纤维在混凝土开裂面上的桥接作用,确定了钢纤维轴向应力与裂缝宽度之间的关系。钢纤维混凝土开裂后,将基体的软化模量与纤维增强作用的切线模量之和,作为判断第二峰值的依据。该值始终为非负时,钢纤维混凝土的应力-应变曲线具有唯一峰值强度;否则,应力-应变曲线中将具有二次峰值强度,并提出了钢纤维混凝土峰值强度的三种可能情况。建立了有限元模型以模拟钢纤维混凝土的拉伸试验,进一步研究了钢纤维掺量、长径比对混凝土开裂后力学性能的影响。并提出了钢纤维混凝土的抗拉强度的计算公式,可以有效地预测钢纤维混凝土的抗拉强度。

随着城市化进程加快和全球气候变化加剧,城市洪涝灾害频发。研究城市街道的行洪特征,掌握城市建筑物对洪水流动的影响机理,对城市洪涝灾害治理具有重要的理论意义和应用价值。本文开展了城市建筑物对洪水运动影响的物理模型试验,在街道两侧布设分水口模拟建筑物不连续的分流效果,分析分水口位置及流量变化对洪水流态转化及水跃形态的影响。观测上游来流量变化、分水口位置等因素对洪水从急流向缓流过渡时的动力特征的影响,包括水跃发生位置、水跃形态转变、水跃漩滚长度、跃前和跃后水深比及分流比等。     

城市社区尺度降雨径流快速模拟——以福州市一排水小区为例

随着城市化进程的不断加快,我国城市正面临着越来越严峻的洪涝问题。本文在社区尺度上构建雨洪管理模型（SWMM）,使用遗传算法率定SWMM模型参数;在对研究区降雨分析的基础上,采用模糊识别法筛选出最具代表性的两种雨型;基于不同的降雨情景与SWMM模拟值组成的数据集,建立长短期记忆神经网络（LSTM）模型模拟研究区降雨径流关系,并使用不同工况评估了LSTM模型效果。结果表明,LSTM模型对降雨径流的模拟与SWMM模型基本吻合,而其对洪峰流量的拟合略有偏差。在较小降雨下,LSTM模型模拟洪峰流量较SWMM输出结果偏小;在较大降雨下,模拟结果偏大;在中等降雨时,模拟效果最好。此外,50个隐含层单元的拟合效果更好,但同时更多的隐含层单元对洪峰流量拟合效果更好。     

The dynamic evolution of aggregated lithium dendrites in lithium metal batteries

Lithium (Li) metal anodes promise an ultrahigh theoretical energy density and low redox potential,thus being the critical energy material for next-generation batteries.Unfortunately,the formation of Li den-drites in Li metal anodes remarkably hinders the practical applications of Li metal anodes.Herein,the dynamic evolution of discrete Li dendrites and aggregated Li dendrites with increasing current densities is visualized by in-situ optical microscopy in conjunction with ex-situ scanning electron microscopy.As revealed by the phase field simulations,the formation of aggregated Li dendrites under high current den-sity is attributed to the locally concentrated electric field rather than the depletion of Li ions.More specif-ically,the locally concentrated electric field stems from the spatial inhomogeneity on the Li metal surface and will be further enhanced with increasing current densities.Adjusting the above two factors with the help of the constructed phase field model is able to regulate the electrodeposited morphology from aggregated Li dendrites to discrete Li dendrites,and ultimately columnar Li morphology.The methodol-ogy and mechanistic understanding established herein give a significant step toward the practical appli-cations of Li metal anodes.

Pathogenic Hydrogel? A Novel-Entrapment Neuropathy Model Induced by Ultrasound-Guided Perineural Injections

Entrapment neuropathy (EN) is a prevalent and debilitative condition caused by a complex pathogenesis that involves a chronic compression–edema–ischemia cascade and perineural adhesion that results in excessive shear stress during motion. Despite decades of research, an easily accessible and surgery-free animal model mimicking the mixed etiology is currently lacking, thus limiting our understanding of the disease and the development of effective therapies. In this proof-of-concept study, we used ultrasound-guided perineural injection of a methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-b-Poly(lactide-co-glycoilide) carboxylic acid (mPEG-PLGA-BOX) hydrogel near the rat’s sciatic nerve to induce EN, as confirmed sonographically, electrophysiologically, and histologically. The nerve that was injected with hydrogel appeared unevenly contoured and swollen proximally with slowed nerve conduction velocities across the injected segments, thus showing the compressive features of EN. Histology showed perineural cellular infiltration, deposition of irregular collagen fibers, and a possible early demyelination process, thus indicating the existence of adhesions. The novel method provides a surgery-free and cost-effective way to establish a small-animal model of EN that has mixed compression and adhesion features, thus facilitating the additional elucidation of the pathophysiology of EN and the search for promising treatments.
