Electronic Perturbation of Copper Single-Atom CO2 Reduction Catalysts in a Molecular Way

Fine-tuning electronic structures of single-atom catalysts (SACs) plays a crucial role in harnessing their catalytic activities, yet challenges remain at a molecular scale in a controlled fashion. By tailoring the structure of graphdiyne (GDY) with electron-withdrawing/-donating groups, we show herein the electronic perturbation of Cu single-atom CO₂ reduction catalysts in a molecular way. The elaborately introduced functional groups (−F, −H and −OMe) can regulate the valance state of Cu^δ+, which is found to be directly scaled with the selectivity of the electrochemical CO₂-to-CH₄ conversion. An optimum CH₄ Faradaic efficiency of 72.3 % was achieved over the Cu SAC on the F-substituted GDY. In situ spectroscopic studies and theoretical calculations revealed that the positive Cu^δ+ centers adjusted by the electron-withdrawing group decrease the pK_a of adsorbed H₂O, promoting the hydrogenation of intermediates toward the CH₄ production. Our strategy paves the way for precise electronic perturbation of SACs toward efficient electrocatalysis.

Non-linear vibrations of suspension bridges with external excitation

Non-linear coupled vertical and torsional vibrations of suspension bridges are investigated. Method of Multiple Scales, a perturbation technique, is applied to the equations to find approximate analytical solutions. The equations are not discretized as usually done, rather the perturbation method is applied directly to the partial differential equations. Free and forced vibrations with damping are investigated in detail. Amplitude and phase modulation equations are obtained. The dependence of non-linear frequency on amplitude is described. Steady-state solutions are analyzed. Frequency-response equation is derived and the jump phenomenon in the frequency-response curves resulting from non-linearity is considered. Effects of initial amplitude and phase values, amplitude of excitation, and damping coefficient on modal amplitudes, are determined.     

Magnetohydrodynamic mixed convection in a vertical channel

The problem of combined free and forced convective magnetohydrodynamic flow in a vertical channel is analysed by taking into account the effect of viscous and ohmic dissipations. The channel walls are maintained at equal or at different constant temperatures. The velocity field and the temperature field are obtained analytically by perturbation series method and numerically by finite difference technique. The results are presented for various values of the Brinkman number and the ratio of Grashof number to the Reynolds number for both equal and different wall temperatures. Nusselt number at the walls is determined. It is found that the viscous dissipation enhances the flow reversal in the case of downward flow while it counters the flow in the case of upward flow. It is also found that the analytical and numerical solutions agree very well for small values of ε.

Perturbation methods for nonlinear autonomous discrete-time dynamical systems

Two perturbation methods for nonlinear autonomous discrete-time dynamical systems are presented. They generalize the classical Lindstedt-Poincaré and multiple scale perturbation methods that are valid for continuous-time systems. The Lindstedt-Poincaré method allows determination of the periodic or almost-periodic orbits of the nonlinear system (limit cycles), while the multiple scale method also permits analysis of the transient state and the stability of the limit cycles. An application to the discrete Van der Pol equation is also presented, for which the asymptotic solution is shown to be in excellent agreement with the exact (numerical) solution. It is demonstrated that, when the sampling step tends to zero the asymptotic transient and steady-state discrete-time solutions correctly tend to the asymptotic continuous-time solutions.     

Complexification phenomenon in an example of sensitive singular perturbationPhénomène de complexification dans un exemple de perturbation singulière sensitive

We consider singular perturbation problems depending on a parameter ε?0 such that for ε>0 the solution u^ε belongs to a Sobolev space on a domain $\text{Ω}$, but the limit u⁰ is not a distribution on $\text{Ω}$. A very simple model problem, solvable by Fourier transform allows us to study the complexification process of u^ε as $\text{ε↘0}$. The limit holds in the topology of a space of analytical functionals. To cite this article: C.A. De Souza, É. Sanchez-Palencia, C. R. Mecanique 332 (2004).
