Amorphous High-Entropy Hydroxides of Tunable Wide Solar Absorption for Solar Water Evaporation

The high-entropy materials have raised much attention in recent years due to their extraordinary performances in mechanical, catalysis, energy storage fields. Herein, a new type of high-entropy hydroxides (e.g., NiFeCoMnAl(OH)_x) that are amorphous and capable of broad solar absorption is reported. A facile one-pot co-precipitation method is employed to synthesize these amorphous high-entropy hydroxides (a-HEHOs) under ambient conditions. The a-HEHOs thus obtained display widely tunable bandgap (e.g., from 2.6 to 1.1 eV) due to their high-entropy and amorphous characteristics, enabling efficient light absorbance and photothermal conversion in the solar regime. Further solar water evaporation measurements show that the a-HEHOs delivered a considerable energy conversion efficiency of 55%, comparable to black titanium oxides that are synthesized using more complex and expensive methods.     

基于光谱学分析的聚氨酯弹性体/聚磷酸铵/氢氧化铝复合材料阻燃机理研究

采用熔融共混技术,将聚磷酸铵(APP)和氢氧化铝(ATH)引入到聚氨酯弹性体(TPU)中,制备了一系列热塑性聚氨酯/聚磷酸铵/氢氧化铝(TPU/APP/ATH)复合材料。采用傅里叶红外光谱(FTIR)、X-射线光电子能谱(XPS)、扫描电镜(SEM)、激光拉曼光谱研究了TPU和阻燃TPU(FR-TPU)复合材料燃烧后炭渣的微观形貌、表面结构、元素组成、键合状态和石墨化程度,结合阻燃性能测试,揭示APP和ATH的协同阻燃机制。SEM分析表明相较于APP与ATH单独使用,TPU/APP/ATH炭层的空洞结构更少,炭渣的致密性更高。XPS分析表明FR-TPU的炭渣中C元素含量相比于纯TPU有所降低,O元素的含量有所上升,其中TPU/APP10/ATH10的C元素含量从88.2%降至69.24%,O元素的含量从8.07%升至17.78%,P和Al元素含量相较于单独添加分别从11.74%和16.36%下降至3.91%和3.31%。在此基础上,通过对C元素的分峰拟合发现TPU炭渣中C—C/C—H,C—O/C—N和CO/CN含量分别为61.05%,35.65%和3.30%;TPU/APP10/ATH10炭渣中三种结构含量分别为45.38%,45.00%和9.63%,说明ATH和APP复配使用有利于C元素形成酯、醚、羰基、羧酸（盐）、酯基等结构。通过对O元素的分峰拟合发现,TPU炭渣中O₂/H₂O,—O—,O三种结构含量分别为28.75%,44.36%和26.89%;TPU/APP10/ATH10炭渣中O₂/H₂O,—O—,O三种结构含量分别为44.33%,32.78%和22.89%,说明APP和ATH的加入有利于炭渣中O元素形成O₂/H₂O结构。通过对N元素的分峰拟合发现,TPU炭渣中—NH—,N结构的N元素含量分别为40.93%和59.07%;TPU/APP10/ATH10中—NH—,N结构的N元素含量分别47.17%和52.83%,说明ATH与APP复配使用促进了—NH—结构的形成。拉曼测试表明,相比于单独使用,APP和ATH复配使用,炭层的石墨化程度更好,致密性更高。以上分析结合阻燃测试可以得出TPU/APP/ATH复合材料阻燃机制：ATH受热分解生成氧化铝,吸收热量并释放大量水蒸气,有效促进APP降解,生成不燃性的氨气和聚磷酸,氨气和水蒸气稀释可燃性气体的浓度。随着温度继续升高,氧化铝可继续与聚磷酸反应生成偏磷酸铝[Al(PO₃)₃],同步催化聚氨酯基体成炭,形成高度石墨化炭层,石墨化炭层与偏磷酸铝一起覆盖在基体表面,有效抑制燃烧区域物质以及能量的输运,从而达到阻燃目的。     

Ultrafast X-ray science at the advanced light source

On May 19, 2004, 250 guests from all over the world joined the DESY research center to celebrate 40 years of research with synchrotron radiation at DESY in Hamburg. “The first measurements with the light beam from the DESY ring accelerator started in 1964. DESY was one of the seed laboratories in which the worldwide success story of research with synchrotron radiation began,” Albrecht Wagner, chairman of the DESY Board of Directors, explained in his welcoming address. “Today, more than 1,900 scientists from 31 countries come to DESY every year to carry out experiments with synchrotron radiation.”

Forty years ago, synchrotron radiation at DESY started from scratch. At the beginning of the 1960s, the radiation generated by the electrons in the bending magnets of their new 6 GeV electron synchrotron was regarded by DESY particle physicists as an unwanted, disruptive effect.     

星载海洋激光雷达最佳工作波长分析

星载激光雷达是实现海洋垂直剖面探测的有效工具,也是目前迫切需求的海洋光学遥感手段。对星载海洋激光雷达的波长参数进行评估对保证探测有效性具有重要意义。本文从探测深度和信噪比两方面分析了星载海洋激光雷达探测全球海洋的最佳波长。利用MODIS 10个波段的水体光学特性数据,估算全球海水探测深度及相应的最优波长;并根据太阳夫琅禾费暗线特性,对信号信噪比进行优化。结果表明:在探测深度方面,最优探测波长在488 nm波段的海洋占全球海洋面积的70%左右,并且全球95%以上的海域在488 nm波段的探测深度优于0.8倍的真光层深度;在信噪比方面,相对于488 nm波段,486.134 nm夫琅禾费暗线处采用0.1 nm带宽的滤光片可以将背景光强度降低70%,相应地回波信噪比整体提升了约5.0%。就全球海洋探测来说,使用486.134 nm作为探测波长可以提高探测深度,有效抑制太阳背景光,提高信噪比,因此,486.134 nm是星载海洋激光雷达的最佳工作波长。

The Monte-Carlo simulation on a scintillator neutron detector

A simulation of the properties of the shifting scintillator neutron detector using 6LiF/ZnS(Ag) scintillation screens is performed.The simulation results show that the light attenuation length of standard BC704 scintillator is about 0.65 mm.Its thermal neutron detection efficiency,gamma sensitivity and intrinsic spatial resolution can achieve around 50.0%,10 5and 0.18 mm(along X-axis) respectively.For the detector,air coupling position resolution is better than the silicone oil coupling.Some of the simulation results are compared with experimental results.They are in agreement.This work will be helpful for constructing neutron detector for high intensity powder diffractometer at Chinese spallation neutron source.
