It is related to the processes of raw material mining and industry, which is fundamental to economic development but also has negative impacts on the environment, namely the increase of global temperature and solid waste. To address this, various carbon capture, storage, utilization, and mineralization methods have emerged, but they remain at an early stage of development. This review discusses the applicability of solid waste materials, and slurry form in particular, for CO2 mineralization. It analyzes frequently researched materials, carbonation capabilities, reaction mechanisms, and industrial uses. Industrial waste materials, cement, and demolition waste are widely used in carbonation reactions because of their abundance and high Ca/Mg oxide content. The review also discusses carbonation types, including two major types—direct and indirect—which fall under the ex-situ category. The key factors influencing the carbonation efficiency include the CO2 concentration, temperature, pressure, particle size, and reaction chamber type. The construction sector is the principal beneficiary of carbonated materials due to the cementitious characteristics of recarbonated byproducts and precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC). Other industries, such as paper, plastics, and pharmaceuticals, also find applications for PCC. Future research is recommended to explore new materials for slurry carbonation, with potential applications in underground mine support for carbon sequestration and subsidence control.展开更多

The formation of Ag-Se phase during the selenization process enables the formation of large grains and suppresses the deep level defects. It is found that Ag doping can enlarge the depletion region width, lower the Urbach energy and prolong the carrier lifetime. As a result, a champion solution-processed CIGS solar cell presents a high efficiency of 16.48% with the highly improved opencircuit voltage(VOC) of 662 m V and fill factor(FF) of 75.8%. This work provides an efficient strategy to prepare high quality solution-processed CIGS films for high-performance CIGS solar cells.展开更多

The findings highlight the distribution of agency, animacy, and support relations in state change events, emphasizing the complex interaction of internal and external event integrations and their correlation with the conceptual primitives of change and transition. This study offers insights into the lexicalization and grammaticalization processes of the “V + Dào” construction, and potentially the broader verb-complement constructions in Mandarin.

文摘Surface-latent heat(LE)and sensible heat(SH)fluxes play a pivotal role in governing hydrological,biological,geochemical,and ecological processes on the land surface in the Tibetan Plateau.However,to accurately assess and understand the spatial distribution of LE and SH fluxes across different underlying surfaces,it is crucial to verify the validity and reliability of ERA-5,GLDAS,and MODIS data against ground measurements obtained from the Flux Net micrometeorological tower network.This study analyzed the spatial patterns of LE and SH over the Tibetan Plateau using data from ERA-5,GLDAS,and MODIS.The results were compared with ground measurements from Flux Net tower observations on different underlying surfaces,and five statistical parameters(Pearson's r,LR slope,RMSE,MBE,and MAE)were used to validate the data.The results showed that:(1)MODIS LE data and ERA-5 SH data exhibited the closest agreement with ground observations,as indicated by their lowest root mean square error and mean bias area values.(2)The accuracy of ERA-5 SH was the highest in meadows and steppes,while GLDAS SH performed optimally in shrublands.Notably,MODIS LE consistently outperformed the other datasets across all vegetation types.(3)The spatial distribution of LE and SH displayed considerable heterogeneity,contingent upon the specific data sources and underlying surfaces.Notably,there was a contrasting trend between GLDAS and ERA-5,as well as MODIS,in terms of SH distribution in the shrubland.In shrublands and meadows,MODIS SH and LE exhibited more pronounced changes than ERA-5 and GLDAS.Additionally,ERA-5 SH demonstrated the opposite variation in meadow and steppe regions compared to GLDAS and MODIS.
文摘Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a substantial contributor to global warming owing to its long atmospheric lifetime and high potential for global warming. It is related to the processes of raw material mining and industry, which is fundamental to economic development but also has negative impacts on the environment, namely the increase of global temperature and solid waste. To address this, various carbon capture, storage, utilization, and mineralization methods have emerged, but they remain at an early stage of development. This review discusses the applicability of solid waste materials, and slurry form in particular, for CO2 mineralization. It analyzes frequently researched materials, carbonation capabilities, reaction mechanisms, and industrial uses. Industrial waste materials, cement, and demolition waste are widely used in carbonation reactions because of their abundance and high Ca/Mg oxide content. The review also discusses carbonation types, including two major types—direct and indirect—which fall under the ex-situ category. The key factors influencing the carbonation efficiency include the CO2 concentration, temperature, pressure, particle size, and reaction chamber type. The construction sector is the principal beneficiary of carbonated materials due to the cementitious characteristics of recarbonated byproducts and precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC). Other industries, such as paper, plastics, and pharmaceuticals, also find applications for PCC. Future research is recommended to explore new materials for slurry carbonation, with potential applications in underground mine support for carbon sequestration and subsidence control.

文摘Aqueous zinc-halogen batteries are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage due to their abundant resources,intrinsic safety,and high theoretical capacity.Nevertheless,the uncontrollable zinc dendrite growth and spontaneous shuttle effect of active species have prohibited their practical implementation.Herein,a double-layered protective film based on zinc-ethylenediamine tetramethylene phosphonic acid(ZEA)artificial film and ZnF2-rich solid electrolyte interphase(SEI)layer has been successfully fabricated on the zinc metal anode via electrode/electrolyte synergistic optimization.The ZEA-based artificial film shows strong affinity for the ZnF2-rich SEI layer,therefore effectively suppressing the SEI breakage and facilitating the construction of double-layered protective film on the zinc metal anode.Such double-layered architecture not only modulates Zn2+flux and suppresses the zinc dendrite growth,but also blocks the direct contact between the metal anode and electrolyte,thus mitigating the corrosion from the active species.When employing optimized metal anodes and electrolytes,the as-developed zinc-(dual)halogen batteries present high areal capacity and satisfactory cycling stability.This work provides a new avenue for developing aqueous zinc-(dual)halogen batteries.

文摘Solution-processed Cu(In,Ga)Se_(2)(CIGS) solar cells suffer from serious carrier recombination and power conversion efficiency(PCE) loss because of the poor film properties and easy formation of defects.Herein, we propose Ag&Se co-selenization strategy to enhance the crystallization and passivate harmful defects of the CIGS films. The formation of Ag-Se phase during the selenization process enables the formation of large grains and suppresses the deep level defects. It is found that Ag doping can enlarge the depletion region width, lower the Urbach energy and prolong the carrier lifetime. As a result, a champion solution-processed CIGS solar cell presents a high efficiency of 16.48% with the highly improved opencircuit voltage(VOC) of 662 m V and fill factor(FF) of 75.8%. This work provides an efficient strategy to prepare high quality solution-processed CIGS films for high-performance CIGS solar cells.
文摘As the cost of grouting treatment for water control in coal roofs during underground coal mining continues to rise,coupled with the accumulation of industrial solid waste resulting from rapid economic development in China,the ecological environment is facing severe challenges.To address these issues,this study,based on a high water-to-cement ratio,uses mine overburden(OB)and furnace bottom ash(FBA)as the primary raw materials,with sodium silicate as the modifier,to develop a new type of geopolymer grouting material with high stability and compressive strength for coal roof water control.Additionally,COMSOL software was used to numerically simulate the diffusion process of the grout slurry in fractures under dynamic water flow.The results indicate that,with a sodium silicate modulus of 1.5 and a dosage of 4%,the stability of the slurry increased by 26.2%,and the 28-day compressive strength improved by 130.98%.Numerical simulations further show that the diffusion process of the slurry is closely related to slurry viscosity,grouting pressure,and grouting time and that the diffusion pattern in the fractures is similar to that of ultra-fine cement slurry.This study provides a theoretical basis for coal mine roof grouting water control projects.

文摘In the Pidgeon process involving a vertical pot,bonded slag pellets occasionally emerge at the bottom of the reduction pot,impeding smooth slag discharge.To reveal the formation mechanism of the bonded slag pellets,thermodynamic calculations,X-ray diffraction(XRD),X-ray fluorescence spectrometry(XRF),electron probe microanalyzer(EPMA),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC)were employed.The bonded slag pellets mainly comprise MgO,CaSi_(2),CaO,and Ca2SiO_(4).CaSi_(2) in the bonded slag pellets is attributed to the reduction reaction between Si and CaO,yielding liquid CaSi_(2).Simultaneously,the reaction between CaSi_(2) and MgO,which will typically produce Mg vapor,is inhibited,resulting in the accumulation of CaSi_(2).Owing to the solid-liquid transition of CaSi_(2),this process culminates in the bonding of slag pellets.This study can guide the Pidgeon process optimization,enabling mitigation of the“dead pot”issue,thereby enhancing efficiency and reducing costs.

文摘The presence of SnZn-related defects in Cu_(2)ZnSn(S,Se)_(4)(CZTSSe)absorber results in large irreversible energy loss and extra irreversible electron-hole non-radiative recombination,thus hindering the efficiency enhancement of CZTSSe devices.Although the incorporation of Ag in CZTSSe can effectively suppress the SnZn-related defects and significantly improve the resulting cell performance,an excellent efficiency has not been achieved to date primarily owing to the poor electrical-conductivity and the low carrier density of the CZTSSe film induced by Ag substitution.Herein,this study exquisitely devises an Ag/H co-doping strategy in CZTSSe absorber via Ag substitution programs followed by hydrogen-plasma treatment procedure to suppress SnZn defects for achieving efficient CZTSSe devices.In-depth investigation results demonstrate that the incorporation of H in Ag-based CZTSSe absorber is expected to improve the poor electrical-conductivity and the low carrier density caused by Ag substitution.Importantly,the C=O and O-H functional groups induced by hydrogen incorporation,serving as an electron donor,can interact with under-coordinated cations in CZTSSe material,effectively passivating the SnZn-related defects.Consequently,the incorporation of an appropriate amount of Ag/H in CZTSSe mitigates carrier non-radiative recombination,prolongs minority carrier lifetime,and thus yields a champion efficiency of 14.74%,showing its promising application in kesterite-based CZTSSe devices.

文摘Climate change brings new challenges to the sustainable development of agriculture in the new era.Accurately grasping the patterns of climate change impacts on agricultural systems is crucial for ensuring agricultural sustainability and food security.Taking the Loess Plateau(LP),China as an example,this study used a coupling coordination degree model and spatial autocorrelation analysis to portray the spatial and temporal features of crop-cropland coupling relationship from 2000 to 2020 and explored the impact law of climate change through geographically and temporally weighted regression(GTWR).The results were as follows:1)the crop-cropland coupling coordination degree of the LP showed a gradual upward trend from 2000 to 2020,forming a spatial pattern with lower values in the central region and higher values in the surrounding areas.2)There was a positive correlation in the spatial distribution of cropcropland coupling coordination degree in the LP from 2000 to 2020,and the high value-low value(H-L)and low value-low value(L-L)agglomerations continued to expand eastward,while the spatial and temporal evolution of the high value-high value(H-H)and low value-high value(L-H)agglomerations was not obvious.3)The impacts of climatic elements on crop-cropland coupling coordination degree in the LP showed strong heterogeneity in time scales.The inhibitory impacts of summer days(SU)and frost days(FD)accounted for a higher proportion,while the annual average temperature(TEM)had both promoting and inhibiting impacts.The impacts proportion and intensity of extreme heavy precipitation day(R25),continuous drought days(CDD),and annual precipitation(PRE)all experienced significant changes.4)In space,the impacts of SU and FD on the crop-cropland coupling coordination degree varied with latitude and altitude.The adaptability of the LP to R25 gradually strengthened,and the extensions of CDD and increase of PRE led to the increasing inhibition beyond the eastern region of LP,and TEM showed a promoting impact in the Fenwei Plain.As an important grainproducing area in China,the LP should actively deal with the impacts of climate change on the crop-cropland coupling relationship,vigorously safeguard food security,and promote sustainable agricultural development.

文摘Paeonia suffruticosa Andr.is an endemic shrub flower in China with 2n=10.This study used 228 cultivars from four populations,i.e.,Jiangnan,Japan,Northwest,and Zhongyuan,as materials to explore the genetic diversity levels among different populations of tree peony varieties.The results showed that 34 bands were amplified using five pairs of cp SSR primers,with an average of 6.8 bands per primer pair.The average number of different alleles(N_(a)),effective alleles(N_(e)),Shannon's information index(I),diversity(H),and polymorphic information content(PIC)were 3.600,2.053,0.708,0.433,and 0.388,respectively.The PIC value was between 0.250 and 0.500,indicating a moderate level of polymorphism for the five cp SSR primer pairs.The genetic diversity levels of peony cultivars varied among different populations,with the Northwest population showing relatively lower levels(I=0.590,H=0.289,and PIC=0.263).A total of 52 haplotypes were identified in the four examined populations,and the number of haplotypes per population ranged from 11 to 22.Forty-four private haplotypes were detected across populations,and the Northwest population exhibiting the highest count of private haplotypes with 17.The mean number of effective number of haplotypes(N_(eh)),haplotypic richness(R_(h)),and diversity(H)were 8.351,6.824,and 0.893,respectively.Analysis of molecular variance indicated that genetic variation within tree peony germplasm was greater than that between germplasm resources,and the main variation was found within individuals of peony germplasm.Cluster analysis,principal coordinate analysis,and genetic structure analysis classified tree peonies from different origins into two groups,indicating a certain degree of genetic differentiation among these four tree peony cultivation groups.This study provides a theoretical basis for the exploration,utilization,and conservation of peony germplasm resources,as well as for research on the breeding of excellent varieties.

文摘Lithium-sulfur(Li-S)batteries are widely deemed to be one of the most potential candidates for future secondary batteries because of their remarkable energy density.Nevertheless,notorious polysulfide shuttling and retarded sulfur reaction kinetics pose significant obstacles to the further application of Li-S batteries.While rationally designed highly active electrocatalysts can facilitate polysulfide conversion,the universal and scalable synthesis strategies need to be developed.Herein,a universal synthetic strategy to construct a series of three-dimensional(3D)porous graphene-iron(3DGr-Fe)based electrocatalysts involving 3DGr-FeP,3DGr-Fe_(3)C,and 3DGr-Fe_(3)Se_(4)is exploited for manipulating the Li-S redox reactions.It has been observed that the implementation of a 3D porous Gr architecture leads to the well-designed conductive networks,while the uniformly dispersed iron nanoparticles introduce an abundance of active sites,fostering the lithium polysulfide conversion,thereby bolstering the overall electrochemical performance.The Li-S battery with the 3DGr-Fe based electrocatalyst exhibits remarkable capacity retention of 94.8%upon 100 times at 0.2 C.Moreover,the soft-packaged Li-S pouch cell based on such a 3DGr-Fe electrocatalyst delivers superior capacity of 1060.71 mA h g^(-1)and guarantees for the continuous 30 min work of fan toy.This investigation gives comprehensive insights into the design,synthesis,and mechanism of 3DGr-Fe based electrocatalysts with high activity toward efficient and durable Li-S batteries.
