However, the finished products are easy to react with oxygen, so it is necessary to develop a fast, simple and reliable approach to monitor and predict the shelf-life of FER. A comprehensive mathematical model of FER shelf-life prediction was developed using a dynamic modelling approach based on real supply chain conditions. This predictive model was developed to determine four key indexes including acid value, iodine blue value, water uptake ratio and peroxide value. The results showed that when the peroxide value was 1.6849, the FER lost its edible value, nutritional value and commodity value. Moreover, the acid value and peroxide value of FER were used to establish a first-order kinetic model, and the iodine blue value of FER was suited for a zero-order kinetic model. The validation experiment of predicted and measured shelf life showed that the relative error was 3.12%, which was less than 5%. Therefore, this kinetic model could be used to predict the shelf-life of FER quickly and conveniently. The kinetic-based shelf-life prediction model proposed in this study is rapid and practical, providing theoretical basis and guidance for the establishment of quality monitoring and quality evaluation systems of FER during the production, storage, transport and marketing.展开更多

The adsorption performance of these organics on the TNA photoelectrode was investigated by using the instantaneous photocurrent value, and the degradation property was examined by using the exhausted reaction. The results showed that glucose exhibited the poor adsorption and easy degradation performance, phthalate showed the strong adsorption and harddegradation, but TBA showed the weak adsorption and was the most difficult to be degraded. The degradation of both glucose and phthalate could be inhibited evidently by TBA. But the effect on glucose was more obvious. The different inhibition effects of TBA on different organics could be attributed to the differences in the adsorption and the degradation property. For instance, phthalate of the strong adsorption property could avoid from the capture of·OH radicals by TBA in TNA photoelectrocatalytic process.展开更多

Here we have engineered a novel hierarchical branching Cu/Cu2O/CuO heteronanostructure by combining a facile hydrothermal method and subsequent controlled oxidation process. The fine structure and epitaxial relationship between the branches and backbone are investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Moreover, the evolution of the branch growth has also been observed during the gradual oxidation of the Cu nanowire surface. The experimental results suggest that the surface oxidation needs to be performed via a two-step exposure process to varying humidity in order to achieve optimized formation of a core-shell structured branching architecture. Finally, a proof-of-concept of the function of such a hierarchical framework as the anode material in lithium-ion batteries is demonstrated. The branching core-shell heterostructure improves battery performance by several means： （i） The epitaxially grown branches provide a high surface area for enhanced electrolyte accessibility and high resistance to volume change induced by Li^＋ intercalation/extraction; （ii） the core-shell structure with its well-defined heterojunction increases the contact area which facilitates effective charge transport during lithiation; （iii） the copper core acts as a current collector as well as providing structural reinforcement.展开更多

文摘Two-dimensional MXene-based film materials as flexible electrodes have been widely studied in wearable microsupercapacitors(MSCs).However,the existence of strong van derWaals interactions leads to serious self-stacking ofMXene layers,resulting in poor ionic dynamics and loss of active sites,which causes MXene film electrodes to exhibit low capacitance and poor rate performance in practical studies.To solve this,a frame-structured hybrid film(labeled as CN-MX hybrid film)is constructed by introducing intercalating agents(nanometer g-C_(3)N_(4))into MXene layers.In this unique hybrid film,the g-C_(3)N_(4)nanoparticles rationally occupy the interspace between MXene layers so as to alleviate layer stacking,thus effectively expanding the electrochemically active surface and promoting proton transfer.Synergistic pseudocapacitance inducted by g-C_(3)N_(4)surface groups,consequently,the CN-MX hybrid film electrode achieves an enhanced capacitive capability.In the three-electrode system,this frame-structured film electrode exhibits an ultra-high areal capacitance of 1932.8 mF cm^(−2).The assembled symmetry flexible MSC device based on CN-MX hybrid film can achieve an energy density of 2.28μWh cm^(−2)at 0.075 mW cm^(−2),as well as a superior cyclic stability with 90.4%retention after 700 cycles in alternating 90o bending and releasing states,revealing its potential in practical applications.
