The different contributions of cardiac equivalent source models and volume conductor models to the MCG are deeply and comprehensively investigated. The single dipole source model, the multiple dipoles source model and the equivalent double layer (EDL) source model are analysed and compared with the cardiac equivalent source models. Meanwhile, the effect of the volume conductor model on the MCG combined with these cardiac equivalent sources is investigated. The simulation results demonstrate that the cardiac electrophysiological information will be partly missed when only the single dipole source is taken, while the EDL source is a good option for MCG simulation and the effect of the volume conductor is smallest for the EDL source. Therefore, the EDL source is suitable for the study of MCG forward and inverse problems, and more attention should be paid to it in future MCG studies.展开更多

In this study, super-hydrophobic surface (SHS) on alurninurn conductor with rnicro-nanostructure was fabricated using the preferential etching principle of crystal defects. The surface rnicrostructure and wettability were investigated by scanning electron microscope and contact angle measurement, respectively. The icing progress was observed with a self-made icing experiment platform at different environment temperature. The results showed that, due to jumping and rolling down of coalesced droplets from SHS of aluminum conductor at low temperature, the formation of icing on SHS could be delayed. Dynamic icing experiment indicated that SHS on aluminum conductor could restrain the formation of icing in certain temperature range, but could not exert influence on the accumulation of icing. This study offers new insight into understanding the anti-icing performance of actual aluminum conductor.展开更多

It exhibited high ionic conductivity of 18.60 mS·cm^-1 at 140 ℃ and reached up to 36.51 mS·cm^-1 at 190 ℃. [Tri][MS] was first applied to modify Nation membrane to fabricate [Tri][MS]/Nafion membrane by impregnation method at 150 ℃. The prepared composite membrane showed high thermal stability with decomposed temperature above 200 ℃ in air atmosphere. In addition, the membrane indicated good ionic conductivity with 3.67 mS·cm^-1 at 140 ℃ and reached up to 13.23 mS·cm^-1 at 180 ℃. The structure of the [Tri][MS] and the composite membrane were characterized by FTIR and the compatibility of [Tri][MS] and Pt/C catalyst was studied by a cyclic voltammetry (CV) method. Besides, the [Tri][MS]/Nafion membrane (thickness of 65 μm) was evaluated with single fuel cell at high temperature and without humidification. The highest power density of [Tri][MS]/Nafion membrane was 3.20 mW·cm^-2 at 140 ℃ and 4.90 mW·cm^-2 at 150 ℃, which was much higher than that of Nation membrane.展开更多

For internal water cooling systems which are airtight, the corrosion of the hollow copper conductor can be prevented through keeping foreign oxygen and carbon dioxide from entering the system, and the amount of oxygen in the internal water can be lowered by blowing high purity nitrogen. For systems not airtight, the corrosion of the hollow copper conductor can be inhibited through lowering the amount of oxygen to some extent by sealing and increasing pH value by processing part of cooling water with bypass small flow sodium-type mix-bed.展开更多

文摘With increasing demand on energy density of lithium-ion battery,wide electrochemical window and safety performance are the crucial request for next generation electrolyte.Gel-electrolyte as a pioneer for electrolyte solidization development aims to solve the safety and electrochemical window problems.However,low ionic conductivity and poor physical performance prohibit its further application.Herein,a fast-ionic conductor(Li_(2.64)(Sc_(0.9)Ti_(0.1))_(2)(PO_(4))_(3))(LSTP)was added into poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)(PVDF-HFP)base gel-electrolyte to enhance mechanical properties and ionic conductivity.Evidences reveal that LSTP was able to weaken interforce between polymer chains,which increased the ionic conductibility and decreased interface resistance during the cycling significantly.The obtained LiFePO_(4)/hybrid gel-electrolyte/Li-metal coin cell exhibited excellent rate capacity(145 mA·h/g at 1C,95 mA·h/g at 3C,28℃)which presented a potential that can be comparable with commercialized liquid electrolyte system.

文摘In this paper, 1,2,4-triazolium methanesulfonate (C_2H_4N_3^+-CH_3SO_3^-, [Tri][MS]), an ionic conductor, was successfully synthesized. It exhibited high ionic conductivity of 18.60 mS·cm^-1 at 140 ℃ and reached up to 36.51 mS·cm^-1 at 190 ℃. [Tri][MS] was first applied to modify Nation membrane to fabricate [Tri][MS]/Nafion membrane by impregnation method at 150 ℃. The prepared composite membrane showed high thermal stability with decomposed temperature above 200 ℃ in air atmosphere. In addition, the membrane indicated good ionic conductivity with 3.67 mS·cm^-1 at 140 ℃ and reached up to 13.23 mS·cm^-1 at 180 ℃. The structure of the [Tri][MS] and the composite membrane were characterized by FTIR and the compatibility of [Tri][MS] and Pt/C catalyst was studied by a cyclic voltammetry (CV) method. Besides, the [Tri][MS]/Nafion membrane (thickness of 65 μm) was evaluated with single fuel cell at high temperature and without humidification. The highest power density of [Tri][MS]/Nafion membrane was 3.20 mW·cm^-2 at 140 ℃ and 4.90 mW·cm^-2 at 150 ℃, which was much higher than that of Nation membrane.

文摘Apatite-lanthanum silicate has attracted considerable interest in recent years due to its high oxide ion conductivity.In this paper,V-doped samples La10-xVx(SiO4) 6O3+x(0≤x≤1.5) were prepared by sol-gel method and the influences of V-dopant content on calcining temperature and conductivity were reported.The samples were characterized by thermal analysis(TG-DSC) ,X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron micrograph(SEM) . The apatite was obtained at 800°C,a relatively low temperature in comparison to 1500°C with the conventional solid-state method.The ceramic pellets sintered at 1200°C for 5 h showed a higher relative density than La9.33Si6O26 pellets sintered at 1400°C for 20 h.The conductivities of samples were measured by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.The conductivity was improved with the increase of V-dopant content on La site.
文摘A novel solid solution Ce6MoO15 was achieved.

文摘BaZr1-xScxO3-0.5x (x=0.07,0.10,0.13,0.16) powders were prepared by solid-state reaction method,and ZnO was used as sintering aid.Samples with different amount of ZnO additive were sintered at 1450·C for 6 h in air.Single cubic perovskite phase proton conductors were obtained.Conductivity was measured by electrochemical workstation.It was shown that Sc doping could increase conductivity through enhancing the carrier concentration in the material,but excessive Sc content might decrease the carrier concentration because of its charge compensation.ZnO had an influence on carrier concentration and mobility and affected the electrical conductivity.2 mol% ZnO and 13 mol% ScO1.5 doped sample showed the highest DC conductivity of 3.6×10-3 S·cm-1 tested at 800·C in wet hydrogen atmosphere.
文摘On the basis of expounding the corrosion mechanism of the stator hollow copper conductor in the water-cooling generator, methods of preventing corrosion of the stator hollow copper conductor in the wa-ter-cooling generator through adjusting water quality of its cooling water have been proposed. For internal water cooling systems which are airtight, the corrosion of the hollow copper conductor can be prevented through keeping foreign oxygen and carbon dioxide from entering the system, and the amount of oxygen in the internal water can be lowered by blowing high purity nitrogen. For systems not airtight, the corrosion of the hollow copper conductor can be inhibited through lowering the amount of oxygen to some extent by sealing and increasing pH value by processing part of cooling water with bypass small flow sodium-type mix-bed.

文摘Through the development of marine energy,marine cables are the key equipment for transmission of electrical energy between surface platforms and underwater facilities.Fatigue failure is a critical failure mode of marine cables.The bending performance of the cable conductor has a major influence on both bending and fatigue performances of the overall cable structure.To study the influence of different types of the conductor cross-section on the bending performances of marine cable conductors,three types of copper conductors with the same cross-sectional area,i.e.,noncompressed round,compressed round,and shaped wire conductors,were selected.The experimental results demonstrated that the cross-section type significantly affects the bending performances of copper conductors.In particular,the bending stiffness of the shaped wire conductor is the highest among the three conductor types.Four key evaluation parameters,i.e.,the bending stiffness,maximum bending moment,envelope area,and engineering critical slip point,were selected to compare and analyze the bending hysteresis curves of the three copper conductors.The differences in the key evaluation parameters were analyzed based on the structural dimensional parameters,processing methods,and classical bending stiffness theoretical models of the three copper conductor types.The results provide an important theoretical guidance for the structural design and engineering applications of marine cable conductors.
