Bicomponent Cocatalyst Decoration on Flux-assisted CaTaO2N Single Crystals for Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction under Visible Light

Cubic-like CaTaO₂N photocatalysts with high crystallinity and uniform particle size were successfully prepared by the flux-assisted nitridation method. The growth of CaTaO₂N single crystals under different synthesis conditions was systematically investigated to understand the effects of the crystallinity and optical property on photocatalytic performance of CO₂ reduction. Moreover, the modification of CaTaO₂N single crystals with core-shell Ni−Ag bicomponent cocatalyst by two-step decoration process gave a 2.4 times higher amount of CO evolution than the deposition of sole Ag cocatalyst, because of the synergistic effects of bicomponent cocatalyst on the interfacial electron transfer and surface catalytic process. This study provides a valuable way to construct high-crystalline photocatalysts with effective bicomponent cocatalyst for visible-light-driven CO₂ reduction with H₂O.     

一种限制周期气固两相流直接数值模拟中整体质量流率的新方法

全周期边界条件的气固两相流系统是研究气固相互作用的一个常用计算模型。为平衡周期气固系统在流向上的受力,常对系统施加平衡系统总重力的固定压力梯度,但由于数值误差的影响,这种固定压力梯度的方法会使得气固系统整体不断加速进而导致模拟失真。为了降低系统质心加速度的影响,本文先后采用了前人提出的固定整体质量流率方法和本文提出的压力梯度后验修正方法,并对两种方法的模拟结果进行了对比。

Anisotropic phononic crystal structure with low-frequency bandgap and heat flux manipulation

This study presents a two-dimensional phononic crystal with heat flux manipulation and wide bandgaps of out-of-plane modes within the low-frequency range. The anisotropic matrix made of spiral-multilayered materials with different thermal conductivities, and the coating layer inserted with metal are designed for heat flux manipulation. Rubber-coated metal cylinders are periodically embedded in the anisotropic matrix to obtain the low-frequency bandgaps of out-of-plane modes. Numerical simulation is carried out to validate the heat and elastic characteristics of the spiral-multilayered anisotropic structure and reveal the effects of the laying angle and temperature on the bandgaps. Subsequently, a spiral-multilayered plate with periodic structures is studied, which shows an obvious vibration attenuation in the frequency ranges of the bandgaps and a deflected heat flux from the initial propagation direction. In the experimental investigation, the multi-phase spiral-multilayered anisotropic plate is simplified to a single-phase anisotropic plate made of aluminum. The characteristics of this type of anisotropic phononic crystal structure may pave the way for the design of a new kind of thermo-acoustic metamaterial serving in combined thermal and acoustic environments.     

基于平面通量展开的三维Pin by Pin输运SP3计算

基于Pin by Pin输运SP₃计算是下一代反应堆物理计算方法中一个重要的研究方向。节块法一般采用高阶通量和中子源展开以适应较大的节块尺寸，因此对于Pin by Pin计算来说效率偏低。由于反应堆堆芯不均匀性更多发生在径向，本文提出一种径向基于二维平面通量展开结合轴向常规节块法的综合方法进行三维Pin by Pin输运SP₃计算，其三个方向的节块耦合迭代均采用基于中子净流耦合的格式。通过IAEA 2D/3D基准问题和典型输运基准问题计算，验证该计算方法对于堆芯扩散计算和输运计算的正确性和可行性。     

Development of LBGK and incompressible LBGK‐based lattice Boltzmann flux solvers for simulation of incompressible flows

This paper presents lattice Boltzmann Bhatnagar–Gross–Krook (LBGK) model and incompressible LBGK model‐based lattice Boltzmann flux solvers (LBFS) for simulation of incompressible flows. LBFS applies the finite volume method to directly discretize the governing differential equations recovered by lattice Boltzmann equations. The fluxes of LBFS at each cell interface are evaluated by local reconstruction of lattice Boltzmann solution. Because LBFS is applied locally at each cell interface independently, it removes the major drawbacks of conventional lattice Boltzmann method such as lattice uniformity, coupling between mesh spacing, and time interval. With LBGK and incompressible LBGK models, LBFS are examined by simulating decaying vortex flow, polar cavity flow, plane Poiseuille flow, Womersley flow, and double shear flows. The obtained numerical results show that both the LBGK and incompressible LBGK‐based LBFS have the second order of accuracy and high computational efficiency on nonuniform grids. Furthermore, LBFS with both LBGK models are also stable for the double shear flows at a high Reynolds number of 10⁵. However, for the pressure‐driven plane Poiseuille flow, when the pressure gradient is increased, the relative error associated with LBGK model grows faster than that associated with incompressible LBGK model. It seems that the incompressible LBGK‐based LBFS is more suitable for simulating incompressible flows with large pressure gradients. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

以TiO2、TiS2及Sm2O3为前驱体,分别加入LiCl-KCl与LiCl-CsCl的最低共熔混合物作为熔盐,在较低温度下成功合成了Sm2Ti2S2O5(STSO)颗粒。通过对比不同温度下所制备产物的X射线衍射图,首次表明STSO的热力学结晶温度在520℃左右,远低于之前报道的650℃的最低合成温度。扫描电子显微镜照片显示,采用2种混合熔盐制备的STSO都呈片状形貌;同一合成温度下,采用LiCl-CsCl熔盐制备的STSO的厚度小于LiCl-KCl所得产物。采用出射光波长大于420 nm的氙灯作为光源,在含有Na2S-Na2SO3空穴牺牲剂的溶液中,所制备的STSO颗粒表现出最高35μmol·h-1的光催化分解水产氢活性以及20 h以上的产氢稳定性。     

New ion exchange membrane derived from sulfochlorated polyether sulfone for electrodialysis desalination of brackish water

The purpose of this work is to study the desalination of brackish water using a new ion exchange membrane, made from sulfochlorated polyethersulfone (Cl‐PES), and crosslinked using aminated polyethersulfone (NH2‐PES) as a crosslinking reagent. This membrane, named ClNH2 membrane, has been obtained by reaction between Cl‐PES with 1.3 SO₂Cl groups per monomer unit and 0.2 equivalent amount of NH2‐PES. ClNH2 membrane has been characterized in terms of contact angle, transport number, intrinsic conductivity, and water uptake (as a function of temperature). Electrodialysis performances of the newly synthetized membranes have been measured using an electrodialysis cell at a laboratory scale and compared to commercial membranes. All the experiments have been performed using synthetic brackish water solutions prepared from sodium chloride salts with different concentrations (varying from 0.5 to 5.0 g/L). The concentration of different water samples obtained has been found to be below the amount recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for drinking water.     

山西典型高铝煤灰熔融及黏温特性改性实验研究

以山西典型高铝煤为研究对象,研究了工业助熔剂石灰石、黏土以及两者的复合助熔剂对其灰熔融特性及黏温特性的影响。结果表明,随着助熔剂含量的增加,煤灰熔融流动温度下降;石灰石的助熔效果优于黏土,复合助熔剂效果优于单一助熔剂。添加石灰石使灰渣临界黏度温度tcv显著降低,添加黏土使其渣型向玻璃渣转变,复合助熔剂较单一助熔剂存在显著协同作用,即能同时实现tcv的降低和渣型的有利转变。对山西典型高铝煤两渡煤,在复合助熔剂添加量为4%(2%石灰石+2%黏土)时,不仅其渣型向玻璃渣转变,且tcv较单独添加石灰石(2%)降低133℃,较单独添加黏土(6%)降低222℃。矿物质分析结果证实了助熔剂的助熔原理。添加复合助熔剂改性的山西高铝煤可达到工业气流床气化对煤种的要求。
