Global convergence property of modified Levenberg-Marquardt methods for nonsmooth equations

In this paper, we discuss the globalization of some kind of modified Levenberg-Marquardt methods for nonsmooth equations and their applications to nonlinear complementarity problems. In these modified Levenberg-Marquardt methods, only an approximate solution of a linear system at each iteration is required. Under some mild assumptions, the global convergence is shown. Finally, numerical results show that the present methods are promising.     

Disorder structure of free-flow and global jams in the extended BML model

The original BML model is extended by introducing extended sites, which can hold several vehicles at each time-step. Unexpectedly, the flow in the extended model sharply transits from free-flow to global jams, but the transition is not one-order in original BML model. And congestion in the extended model appears more easily. This can ascribe to the mixture of vehicles from different directions in one site, leading to the drop-off of the capacity of the site. Furthermore, the typical configuration of free flowing and global jams in the extended models is disorder, different from the regular structure in the original model.

Bio-inspired and Eco-friendly Synthesis of 3D Spongy Meso-Microporous Carbons from CO2 for Supercapacitors

Inspired by the spongy bone structures, three-dimensional (3D) sponge-like carbons with meso-microporous structures are synthesized through one-step electro-reduction of CO₂ in molten carbonate Li₂CO₃−Na₂CO₃−K₂CO₃ at 580 °C. SPC4-0.5 (spongy porous carbon obtained by electrolysis of CO₂ at 4 A for 0.5 h) is synthesized with the current efficiency of 96.9 %. SPC4-0.5 possesses large electrolyte ion accessible surface area, excellent wettability and electronical conductivity, ensuring the fast and effective mass and charge transfer, which make it an advcanced supercapacitor electrode material. SPC4-0.5 exhibits a specific capacitance as high as 373.7 F g⁻¹ at 0.5 A g⁻¹, excellent cycling stability (retaining 95.9 % of the initial capacitance after 10000 cycles at 10 A g⁻¹), as well as high energy density. The applications of SPC4-0.5 in quasi-solid-state symmetric supercapacitor and all-solid-state flexible devices for energy storage and wearable piezoelectric sensor are investigated. Both devices show considerable capacitive performances. This work not only presents a controllable and facile synthetic route for the porous carbons but also provides a promising way for effective carbon reduction and green energy production.

单体性质对樟脑醌/胡椒环光引发活性的影响

采用实时红外光谱仪(RT-FTIR)研究了单体结构、单体配比以及活性稀释剂结构对樟脑醌(CQ)/胡椒环(BDO)引发的光聚合动力学的影响,结果发现,UDMA虽然黏度较低,但是易发生链转移反应且在聚合体系中含量较高(70 wt%),可作为氢给体猝灭激发态CQ,从而影响CQ和BDO之间的相互作用.Bis-GMA虽然黏度大,但是反应活性高,当其与少量具有给氢能力的活性稀释剂TEGDMA配合使用时,不仅对聚合体系的反应活性影响较小,而且可显著降低体系的黏度,大大提高自由基的活动能力,有利于改善CQ/BDO的引发活性.     

Effect of multiple H‐bonding on the properties of polyimides containing the rigid rod groups

To investigate the influence of hydrogen bonding on the properties of polyimides (PIs) containing rigid rod‐like groups, five symmetrical diamines containing benzimidazole, benzoxazole, and hydroxy group were synthesized, and then a series of PIs were prepared. Results showed that hydroxyl‐containing poly(benzoxazole imide)s possess higher glass transition temperature (T_g) and dimensional stabilities than their corresponding poly(benzoxazole imide)s. Moreover, the corresponding poly(benzimidazole imide)s presented the best performances, such as the highest T_g, the highest char yield and the highest dimensional stabilities. The influence of hydrogen bonding of benzimidazole on the properties of PIs was stronger than that of hydroxyl groups. Hydroxyl‐containing poly(benzoxazole imide)s were formed in crosslinking structures after heat treatment at 400 °C. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym.

Mild Synthesis of Pt/SnO2/Graphene Nanocomposites with Remarkably Enhanced Ethanol Electro‐oxidation Activity and Durability

We have designed a new Pt/SnO₂/graphene nanomaterial by using L ‐arginine as a linker; this material shows the unique Pt‐around‐SnO₂ structure. The Sn²⁺ cations reduce graphene oxide (GO), leading to the in situ formation of SnO₂/graphene hybrids. L ‐Arginine is used as a linker and protector to induce the in situ growth of Pt nanoparticles (NPs) connected with SnO₂ NPs and impede the agglomeration of Pt NPs. The obtained Pt/SnO₂/graphene composites exhibit superior electrocatalytic activity and stability for the ethanol oxidation reaction as compared with the commercial Pt/C catalyst owing to the close‐connected structure between the Pt NPs and SnO₂ NPs. This work should have a great impact on the rational design of future metal–metal oxide nanostructures with high catalytic activity and stability for fuel cell systems.
