Facile synthesis of wide-bandgap fluorinated graphene semiconductors

The bandgap opening of graphene is extremely important for the expansion of the applications of graphene-based materials into optoelectronics and photonics. Current methods to open the bandgap of graphene have intrinsic drawbacks including small bandgap openings, the use hazardous/harsh chemical oxidations, and the requirement of expensive chemical-vapor deposition technologies. Herein, an eco-friendly, highly effective, low-cost, and highly scalable synthetic approach is reported for synthesizing wide-bandgap fluorinated graphene (F-graphene or or fluorographene) semiconductors under ambient conditions. In this synthesis, ionic liquids are used as the only chemical to exfoliate commercially available fluorinated graphite into single and few-layer F-graphene. Experimental and theoretical results show that the bandgap of F-graphene is largely dependent on the F coverage and configuration, and thereby can be tuned over a very wide range.     

Influence of reduction energy match among CuO species in CuO-CeO2 catalysts on the catalytic performance for CO preferential oxidation in excess hydrogen

In the present study, we have investigated the reducibility of CuO species on CuO-CeO2 catalysts and the influence of CuO species on the catalytic performance for CO preferential oxidation (CO PROX) in excess hydrogen. It is revealed that the smaller the difference of reduction temperature (denoted as ?T) for two adjacent CuO species is, the higher the catalytic activity of CuO-CeO2 for the PROX in excess hydrogen may be obtained. It means that if the reduction energy of Cu0-Cu2+ pairs matched better, the reduction-oxidation recycle of Cu0-Cu2+ pairs would go on more easily, then the transferring energy of Cu0-Cu2+ pairs would be lesser. Therefore, the CuO-CeO2 catalysts will be largely improved in their catalytic performance if the different CuO species on the catalysts have matched the reduction energy, which would allows them to cooperate effectively.     

Inexact Alternating Direction Methods of Multipliers with Logarithmic–Quadratic Proximal Regularization

In the literature, it was shown recently that the Douglas–Rachford alternating direction method of multipliers can be combined with the logarithmic-quadratic proximal regularization for solving a class of variational inequalities with separable structures. This paper studies the inexact version of this combination, where the resulting subproblems are allowed to be solved approximately subject to different inexactness criteria. We prove the global convergence and establish worst-case convergence rates for the derived inexact algorithms.     

The GUS-property of second-order cone linear complementarity problems

The globally uniquely solvable (GUS) property of the linear transformation of the linear complementarity problems over symmetric cones has been studied recently by Gowda et al. via the approach of Euclidean Jordan algebra. In this paper, we contribute a new approach to characterizing the GUS property of the linear transformation of the second-order cone linear complementarity problems (SOCLCP) via some basic linear algebra properties of the involved matrix of SOCLCP. Some more concrete and checkable sufficient and necessary conditions for the GUS property are thus derived.

Metallophilic Bond‐Induced Quenching of Delayed Fluorescence in Au25@BSA Nanoclusters

The metallophilic bond is a weak interaction between closed‐shell ions and has been widely used a probe for various sensing of toxic chemicals for environmental safety concerns. Here, the interaction between Au nanoclusters (NCs) and metallic ions (mercury (Hg²⁺) and copper (Cu²⁺) ions) is explored using steady‐state and time‐resolved luminescence and transient absorption measurements. For Hg²⁺ ions, the delayed fluorescence (DF) of bovine serum albumin (BSA) protected Au₂₅ (Au₂₅@BSA) NCs is quenched via an effective triplet state electron transfer through the metallophilic bond. However, the Cu²⁺ ions do not alter the DF in Au₂₅@BSA NCs because of the absence of the metallophilic interaction. Furthermore, for Au₈@BSA and Au₁₀@histidine, in which there are no Au⁺ ions on the surface, the fluorescence is not quenched by Hg²⁺ ions. Such a novel triplet electron transfer process through metallophilic bonds are observed and reported for the first time. The reduction of the reverse intersystem crossing is the crucial for Hg²⁺ ion sensing in the fluorescent Au₂₅@BSA NCs.

Generalized heterochronous synchronization in coupled time-delayed chaotic systems

A new kind of generalized heterochronous synchronization phenomenon is reported. Different kinds of generalized synchronous states (including generalized anticipated, isochronous and lag projective synchronization) coexist among different state variables between two unidirectionally coupled time-delayed chaotic systems. The analytical conditions for generalized heterochronous synchronization are obtained. We also find that the synchronization conditions are independent of the delay times in the original time-delayed system. The theoretical results are well confirmed by the numerical simulations and electronic circuit experiments.     

Impulsive control and synchronization of nonlinear system with impulse time window

In this paper, the issue on impulsive control and synchronization of nonlinear system with impulse time window are investigated. The considered impulsive effects can be stochastically occurred at a determined time window. Hence, the impulses here can be more general and more applicable than the fixed impulses. Some novel and easy-to-check criteria with impulse time window are obtained to guarantee the impulsive control and synchronization global asymptotical stable. Especially, on the basis of the our analysis, we only choose an efficient impulse time window instead of choosing fixed-impulse sequences. Finally, the simulation results further demonstrate the effectiveness of our theoretical results.     

OBTAINING MULTI-AXIAL ELASTIC POTENTIALS FOR RUBBER-LIKE MATERIALS VIA AN EXPLICIT,EXACT APPROACH BASED ON SPLINE INTERPOLATION

An explicit, exact approach is proposed to obtain multi-axial elastic potentials for isotropic rubber-like materials undergoing large incompressible deformations. By means of two direct, explicit procedures, this approach reduces the problem of determining multi-axial poten- tials to that of determining one-dimensional elastic potentials. To this end, two one-dimensional potentials for uniaxial case and simple shear case are respectively determined via spline inter- polation and, then, the two potentials are extended to generate a multi-axial elastic potential using a novel method based on certain logarithmic invariants. Eventually, each of the multi-axial potentials will exactly match the finite strain data from four benchmark tests.
