Unconditionally optimal convergence of an energy-conserving and linearly implicit scheme for nonlinear wave equations

In this paper, we present and analyze an energy-conserving and linearly implicit scheme for solving the nonlinear wave equations. Optimal error estimates in time and superconvergent error estimates in space are established without certain time-step restrictions. The key is to estimate directly the solution bounds in the H²-norm for both the nonlinear wave equation and the corresponding fully discrete scheme, while the previous investigations rely on the temporal-spatial error splitting approach. Numerical examples are presented to confirm energy-conserving properties, unconditional convergence and optimal error estimates, respectively, of the proposed fully discrete schemes.

A posteriori error analysis of a quadratic finite volume method for nonlinear elliptic problems

In this article, we construct and analyze a residual-based a posteriori error estimator for a quadratic finite volume method (FVM) for solving nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. We shall prove that the a posteriori error estimator yields the global upper and local lower bounds for the norm error of the FVM. So that the a posteriori error estimator is equivalent to the true error in a certain sense. Numerical experiments are performed to illustrate the theoretical results.

Enhanced Power Density of Alcohol Biofuel Cell by Polymer-assisted Crosslinks of 3D Graphene on Carbon Paper as the Bioanode

Herein, we successfully construct the 3D biocompatible graphene through crosslinking 2D graphene nanosheet onto carbon fiber paper with poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) as anode of the alcohol biofuel cell. Compared with the bioanode without 3D graphene, the current density and output power of PDDA-graphene-ADH bioanode is increased by 23 % and 41 % at a high concentration of ethanol at pH 8.9, suggesting the stabilization role of graphene in enzyme loading. The study provides us a deep analysis on structures and performances of the bioanode incl. electrochemistry, X-ray photoelectron spectra, and atomic force microscopy images, which is significant to develop the new methods to construct 3D porous electrodes in energy conversion device.     

g-C3N4-W18O49复合光催化剂的制备及其光催化机理研究

通过简单的溶剂热法成功制备出了g-C3N4-W18O49复合光催化剂,采用XRD、SEM、TEM以及PL对所得催化剂的物相结构及形貌和光学性能进行了表征,通过降解甲基橙和光解水产氢实验研究所得催化剂的催化性能及其催化机理.由实验可知,W18O49的含量为50;时所得g-C3N4-W18O49复合光催化剂的降解性能最好,其降解率比纯g-C3N4纳米片提高48;;为进一步研究复合光催化剂的电子-空穴传输机理,我们又进行了光解水制氢实验.结果表明:单一的W18O49无产氢活性,它的复合明显降低了g-C3N4的产氢速率,说明复合结构中光生电子是从g-C3N4传递到了W18O49,表现出明显的Ⅱ型异质结复合特征,而不是部分文献所提出的Z型方式.     

Semiconducting Polymer Dots with Dual-Enhanced NIR-IIa Fluorescence for Through-Skull Mouse-Brain Imaging

Fluorescence probes in the NIR-IIa region show drastically improved imaging owing to the reduced photon scattering and autofluorescence in biological tissues. Now, NIR-IIa polymer dots (Pdots) are developed with a dual fluorescence enhancement mechanism. First, the aggregation induced emission of phenothiazine was used to reduce the nonradiative decay pathways of the polymers in condensed states. Second, fluorescence quenching was minimized by different levels of steric hindrance to further boost the fluorescence. The resulting Pdots displayed a fluorescence QY of ca. 1.7 % in aqueous solution, suggesting an enhancement of ca. 21 times in comparison with the original polymer in tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution. Small-animal imaging by using the NIR-IIa Pdots exhibited a remarkable improvement in penetration depth and signal to background ratio, as confirmed by through-skull and through-scalp fluorescent imaging of the cerebral vasculature of live mice.
