高熵纳米合金在电化学催化中的应用

The implementation of clean energy techniques, including clean hydrogen generation, use of solar-driven photovoltaic hybrid systems, photochemical heat generation as well as thermoelectric conversion, is crucial for the sustainable development of our society. Among these promising techniques, electrocatalysis has received significant attention for its ability to facilitate clean energy conversion because it promotes a higher rate of reaction and efficiency for the associated chemical transformations. Noble-metal-based electrocatalysts typically show high activity for electrochemical conversion processes. However, their scarcity and high cost limit their applications in electrocatalytic devices. To overcome this limitation, binary catalysts prepared by alloying with transition metals can be used. However, optimization of the activity of the binary catalysts is considerably limited because of the presence of the miscibility gap in the phase diagram of binary alloys. The activity of binary electrocatalysts can be attributed to the adsorption energy of molecules and intermediates on the surface. High-entropy alloys (HEAs), which consist of diverse elements in a single NP, typically exhibit better physical and/or chemical properties than their single-element counterparts, because of their tunable composition and inherent surface complexity. Further, HEAs can improve the performance of binary electrocatalysts because they exhibit a near-continuous distribution of adsorption energy. Recently, HEAs have gained considerable attention for their application in electrocatalytic reactions. This review summarizes recent research advances in HEA nanostructures and their application in the field of electrocatalysis. First, we introduce the concept, structure, and four core effects of HEAs. We believe that this part will provide the basic information about HEAs. Next, we discuss the reported top-down and bottom-up synthesis strategies, emphasizing on the carbothermal shock method, nanodroplet-mediated electrodeposition, fast moving bed pyrolysis, polyol process, and dealloying. Other methods such as combinatorial co-sputtering, ultrashort-pulsed laser ablation, ultrasonication-assisted wet chemistry, and scanning-probe block copolymer lithography are also highlighted. Among these methods, wet chemistry has been reported to be effective for the formation of nano-scale HEAs because it facilitates the concurrent reduction of all metal precursors to form solid-solution alloys. Next, we present the theoretical investigation of HEA nanocatalysts, including their thermodynamics, kinetic stability, and adsorption energy tuning for optimizing their catalytic activity and selectivity. To elucidate the structure–property relationship in HEAs, we summarize the research progress related to electrocatalytic reactions promoted by HEA nanocatalysts, including the oxygen reduction reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, hydrogen evolution reaction, methanol oxidation reaction, and CO₂ reduction reaction. Finally, we discuss the challenges and various strategies toward the development of HEAs.

Entropy,Periodicity, and Graphs with Zero Euler Characteristic

Let G be a graph which contains exactly one simple closed curve. We prove that a continuous map f : G → G has zero topological entropy if and only if there exist at most k ≤ |(Edg(G) End(G) 3)/2] different odd numbers n1,...,nk such that Per(f) is contained in ∪i=1^k ∪j=0^∞ ni2^j, where Edg(G) is the number of edges of G and End(G) is the number of end points of G.     

Entropy Production and Admissibility of Shocks

In shock wave theory there are two considerations in selecting the physically relevant shock waves.There is the admissibility criterion for the well-posedness of hyperbolic conservation laws.Another consideraztion concerns the entropy production across the shochs.The latter is natural from the physical point of view,but is not sufficient in its straightforward formulation,if the system is not genuinely nonlinear.In this paper we propose the principles of increasing entropy production and that of the superposition of shocks.These principles arc shown to be equivalent to the admissibility criterion.

广义不确定关系与整体单极黑洞Dirac场的熵

将广义不确定关系引入新的态密度方程，采用WKB近似方法，对含整体单极黑洞Dirac场的熵进行了直接计算，所得黑洞熵与它的视界面积成正比，以此揭示了黑洞熵是其视界面处量子态的熵.与brick-wall模型方法不同，该结果不需要取任何截断.同时表明，用此方法不仅可以计算黑洞标量场的熵，而且可以计算Dirac场的熵.     

基于蚁群算法的二维最大熵分割算法

由于二维最大熵分割法不仅考虑了像素的灰度信息,而且还充分利用了像素的空间邻域信息,因此能够取得较好的分割效果.但是,该方法的计算量巨大,不利于红外图像的快速处理.蚁群算法于20世纪90年代初提出,是受到蚁群集体行为的启发而提出的一种基于种群的模拟进化算法,属于随机搜索算法.该算法已经成功应用于旅行商等离散问题.将蚁群算法应用于二维最大熵法,提出了基于蚁群算法的二维最大熵分割算法.与传统的穷尽搜索法相比,求解速度提高了60倍左右.仿真实验表明,该方法快速、简单、有效.

Shear Viscosity to Non-Equilibrium Entropy Density Ratio of Hot Quark-Gluon Plasma at Finite Chemical Potential

In the framework of irreversible thermodynamics, we study the transport properties of hot quark-gluon plasmas. The viscous entropy production at finite chemical potential as well as the shear viscosity to non-equilibrium entropy density ratio is investigated in weakly coupled limit by using kinetic theory. The results show that the chemical potential contributes positively to their ratio compared to the pure temperature case. The ratio exhibits two boundaries in the coupling strength in which a minimum value of 0.42 is found at αs=0.6.
