Numerical analysis for the mixed Navier–Stokes and Darcy Problem with the Beavers–Joseph interface condition

In this article, we consider the coupled Navier–Stokes and Darcy problem with the Beavers–Joseph interface condition. With suitable restrictions of physical parameters α and ν, we prove the existence and local uniqueness of a weak solution. Then we propose a coupled finite element scheme and a decoupled and linearized scheme based on two‐grid finite element. Under suitable further restrictions, their optimal error estimates are obtained. Finally numerical experiments indicate the validity of the theoretical results as well as the efficiency and effectiveness of the decoupled and linearized two‐grid algorithm. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of mesoporous carbon containing binary conductive additives in lithium ion batteries on the electrochemical performance of the LiCoO2 composite cathodes

Binary conductive additives (BCA), formed by sonication of mesoporous carbon (MC) and acetylene black (AB), were used as conductive additives to improve the electrochemical performance of a LiCoO₂ composite cathode. The electrochemical performance of the LiCoO₂ composite cathode dispersed with BCA was investigated. The results showed that the electrochemical performance (including the discharge capacity, the discharge voltage and the total internal resistance) of a BCA loaded LiCoO₂ composite cathode was better than that of a cathode loaded with AB. The possible mechanism is that the MC in BCA can adsorb and retain electrolyte solution, which allows an intimate contact between the lithium ions and the cathode active material LiCoO₂ due to its large mesopore specific surface area. A simplified model was also proposed.     

The dielectric behaviour of doped near-stoichiometric lithium niobate in the terahertz range

The dielectric properties of near-stoichiometric LiNbO₃:Fe and LiNbO₃:Ce single crystals have been investigated using terahertz time domain spectroscopy in a frequency range of 0.7-1.6 THz at room temperature. When coupled with an applied external optical field, obvious photorefractive effects were observed, resulting in a modulation of the complex dielectric constant for the crystals. The variation in refractive index, |Δn|, had a linear relationship with the applied light intensity, accompanied by a step-like decrease at high intensity. The findings were attributed to the internal space charge field of the photorefraction and the light-induced domain reversal in the crystals.     

Evacuation assistants: An extended model for determining effective locations and optimal numbers

The present research presents an extended evacuation field model for simulating crowd emergency evacuation processes under the control of evacuation assistants. Furthermore, a communication field for describing the escape information transmission process and its effect on evacuees is introduced. The effective locations and optimal numbers of evacuation assistants as generated through the model are proposed in an effort to verify as well as enhance existing models. Results show the following. (1) Locating evacuation assistants near exits reduces the time delay for pre-evacuation. (2) There is an optimal number of evacuation assistants for achieving evacuation efficiency; having excessive numbers of evacuation assistants does not improve the evacuation efficiency, and they may result in evacuation time delay and hinder the evacuation efficiency. (3) As the number of evacuees increases, the number of evacuation assistants needed decreases.

Highly photoluminescent MoOx quantum dots: Facile synthesis and application in off-on Pi sensing in lake water samples

Molybdenum oxide (MoO_x) is a well-studied transition-metal semiconductor material, and has a wider band gap than MoS₂ which makes it become a promising versatile probe in a variety of fields, such as gas sensor, catalysis, energy storage ect. However, few MoO_x nanomaterials possessing photoluminescence have been reported until now, not to mention the application as photoluminescent probes. Herein, a one-pot method is developed for facile synthesis of highly photoluminescent MoO_x quantum dots (MoO_x QDs) in which commercial molybdenum disulfide powder and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) are involved as the precursor and oxidant, respectively. Compared with current synthesis methods, the proposed one has the advantages of rapid, one-pot, easily prepared, environment friendly as well as strong photoluminescence. The obtained MoO_x QDs is further utilized as an efficient photoluminescent probe, and a new off-on sensor has been constructed for phosphate (Pi) determination in complicated lake water samples, attributed to the fact that the binding affinity of Eu³⁺ ions to the oxygen atoms from Pi is much higher than that from the surface of MoO_x QDs. Under the optimal conditions, a good linear relationship was found between the enhanced photoluminescence intensity and Pi concentration in the range of 0.1–160.0 μM with the detection limit of 56 nM (3σ/k). The first application of the photoluminescent MoO_x nanomaterials for ion photochemical sensing will open the gate of employing MoO_x nanomaterials as versatile probes in a variety of fields, such as chemi-/bio-sensor, cell imaging, biomedical and so on.     

Storage Stability of LiFePO4/C in Humid‐hot Air

Storage stabilities of LiFePO₄/C composite at different conditions are investigated in terms of structural and electrochemical evolutions. The results from different aging tests indicate that moisture and temperature are the key factors that have the most profound effects on the structure homogeneity which in turn influences the electrochemical performance of LiFePO₄/C. Although the storage in a humid‐hot environment, such as saturated humidity air at 50°C, does not greatly influence the discharging capacity of LiFePO₄/C, it does reduce the initial charging capacity, thus the amount of reversible Li⁺ ions in a practical LiFePO₄/graphite cell decreases. This impact is explained by the lithium extraction during the storage, forming olivine FePO₄ and associated Li₃PO₄. Elevated storage temperature also favors the delithiation process. The degree of delithiation increases from about 6% at 50°C to 18% at 80°C. It is also found that re‐calcination at 650°C effectively resolves the problem of the structural heterogeneity of the stored LiFePO₄/C. Therefore both the initial charging capacity and coulombic efficiency of the stored sample in the first cycle revert to the original value of the fresh one.
