Fast-Growing Field of Interfacial Solar Steam Generation: Evolutional Materials, Engineered Architectures, and Synergistic Applications
摘要： The lack of fresh water resources is attracting concern worldwide. Recently, to address this global issue, researchers proposed the heat localization concept for interfacial solar seawater desalination in 2014. Since then, interfacial solar steam generation (ISSG) devices have attracted much attention, due to their potential for achieving highly enhanced optical-thermal conversion through a single interface as compared with traditional solar seawater desalination. To date, the promising prospect of ISSG systems in seawater desalination has stimulated the rapid development of solar desalination technology based on heat localization. To comprehensively recognize ISSG devices and acquire more insights into their design associated with biological relevance, efficiency improvement, and applications, this review summarizes the progresses and prospects of ISSG devices in relation to the evolution of advanced materials, the engineering architecture, the collaborative application, and the current challenges.

[Advances in Imaging and Electron Physics] || superconductors and magnetic electron lenses
摘要： The use of superconductors seems a logical step if one wants to make iron-free magnetic lenses or to reduce the dimensions of conventional lenses since, when decreasing the coil size, the current density is increased. In the 1960s and 1970s, research mainly concentrated on the applicability of superconductors to magnetic electron lenses, and took place on a relatively large scale. This is reviewed in Section 2, after a general introduction into superconductivity in Section 1. Superconducting lenses and microscopes did not become popular due to their inconvenient operation and the lack of interest in high-voltage electron microscopy. High-voltage microscopy has been one of the main reasons for working on strong magnetic lenses and, consequently, on the utilization of superconductors. In 1986, with the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity, discussion on the applicability of superconductors to magnetic electron lenses was reopened. In the past, one of the most serious disadvantages in operating superconducting lenses had been related to the use of liquid helium refrigeration, so high-T c superconductors might be employed to overcome this problem, because their cooling demands are much more relaxed. However, especially during the first years of high-Tc superconductivity, despite their high operating temperatures, the materials themselves seemed extremely unfriendly, as they were brittle, sensitive to water, unstable, and difficult to produce. Fortunately, most of these disadvantages have now disappeared and the discussion concerning their utilization assumes a more fundamental character in the sense that most of the properties of the high-Tc materials are known, though a sound theoretical basis has not yet been defined. The properties of high-T c superconductors are the subject of Section 3. The question whether high-Tc superconductors are more appropriate for applications in particle optics than their classical counterparts was considered to be an interesting research topic. Therefore, this work was started as a feasibility study to the use of high-temperature superconductors in particle optics. Most short-term applications in this field were expected to exploit the high current density of these materials at temperatures above liquid helium, so this work concentrated on magnetic lenses as one of the most straightforward high current density applications. Since conventional iron circuit lenses are already used to their limits, as set by the saturation of the ferromagnetic circuit, significant improvements are to be expected only from iron-free lenses or highly saturated pole piece lenses. Their performance is restricted by the current density allowed in the windings and, further, for the iron-free lens, by the attainable mechanical tolerances, since, in the absence of iron, a lack of axial symmetry in the windings directly results in parasitic aberrations. For making small iron free lenses, high-Tc thin films are potentially interesting candidates, as they possess a high current density and can be patterned very accurately using lithographic techniques. Advantages to be expected from thin film lenses are smaller dimensions and better optical properties. An overview of fabrication techniques for high-Tc thin films is given in Section 4. The first attempt to make a coil in a superconducting thin film, using co-evaporated YBa2Cu3O7?x films, is the subject of Section 5. A thin film has to be patterned with some form of spiral in order to obtain a coil. Therefore, thin film lenses basically do not possess full axial symmetry. The relationship between the geometry of a flat coil and its optical properties is given in Section 6. The geometry of a feasible thin film lens element, along with its corresponding optical properties, is given in Section 7 while the technology used to fabricate this lens element is the subject of Section 8. Finally, based upon the work presented here, Section 9 treats the potential applicability of high-Tc superconductors in instruments that employ particle beams.

A novel P-doped Fe2O3-TiO2 mixed oxide: Synthesis, characterization and photocatalytic activity under visible radiation
摘要： In this work, a novel P-doped Fe2O3-TiO2 mixed oxide was successfully prepared by a microwave assisted sol-gel method. The synthesized catalyst was characterized by N2 physisorption, SEM, XRD, XPS, and FTIR, UV–vis DRS, and PL spectroscopies. The iron and phosphorus content in the catalyst samples were quanti?ed by AAS and ICP-OES, respectively. The photocatalytic activity of P-doped Fe2O3-TiO2 powders were evaluated in the photocatalytic degradation of sulfamethazine (SMTZ). The Box Behnken design (BBD) and response surface methodology (RSM) were applied for modeling the e?ect and optimizing of the operational parameters levels on the degradation percentage of SMTZ. The complete degradation and mineralization percentage of 30% of SMTZ solution at pH 9 was achieved within 300 min of reaction, with the optimum P doping amount of 1.2 wt % and 1.25 g/L of catalyst loading. The 1.2 wt % P-doped Fe2O3-TiO2 mixed oxide showed considerably higher photocatalytic activity than Fe2O3-TiO2 or TiO2. This enhanced performance could be attributed to the small crystallite size, narrow band gap, high speci?c surface area and increased number of surface hydroxyls on TiO2 nanoparticles. Additionally, the stability and reusability of this catalyst was demonstrated during three cycles of SMTZ degradation.

Designing soft pyroelectric and electrocaloric materials using electrets
摘要： A temperature variation can electrically polarize a pyroelectric material. In its converse manifestation, the electrocaloric effect entails a change in temperature due to the application of an electric field. These phenomena have wide applications ranging from infrared detection sensors and solid-state refrigeration to energy harvesting. However, the pyroelectric–electrocaloric effect is typically observed in certain classes of hard, brittle crystalline materials that must satisfy a stringent set of lattice symmetry conditions. Some limited experiments have however demonstrated that embedding immobile charges and dipoles in soft foams (thus creating an electret state) may lead to a pyroelectric-like response as well as large deformations desired from soft matter. In this work, we develop a systematic theory for coupled electrical, thermal and mechanical responses of soft electrets. Using simple illustrative examples, we derive closed-form explicit expressions for the pyroelectric and electrocaloric coefficients of electrets. While pyroelectricity in electrets has been noted before, our derived expressions provide a clear quantitative basis to interpret (and eventually design) this effect as well as insights into how the geometrically nonlinear deformation and Maxwell stress give rise to its emergence. We present conditions to obtain a larger pyroelectric and electrocaloric response. In particular, the electrocaloric effect is predicted for the first time in such materials and we show that a proper design and a reasonable choice of materials can lead to a temperature reduction of as much as 1.5 K under the application of electrical fields of 10 MV cm?1.

Experimental data on the degradation of caffeine by photo-electro-fenton using BDD electrodes at pilot plant
摘要： Emerging contaminants (EC) are an imminent risk due to potential toxicity to aquatic ecosystems and human beings. This type of contaminants is found in low concentrations and usually present incomplete or inefficient removal by conventional treatments, which entail its permanence and constant increase. Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP) are an alternative for the elimination of dangerous and resistant substances in wastewater. So, this research evaluates the caffeine degradation in aqueous solution by AOP, such as: Fenton, Electro-Oxidation (EO) with boron doped diamond (BDD) electrodes, Electro-Fenton (EF) and Photo-Electro-Fenton (PEF). The influences of pH, concentration of the supporting electrolyte and specific electric charge were investigated using a Taguchi's factorial design, which allowed to identify the contribution of each variable in the process. The data obtained in this work can be useful for scaling process and cost analysis because it provide the information at pilot plant scale.

Monodimensional enlargement of resolved field of view in line scan cameras by a single doubly symmetric mirror
摘要： The geometry of the sensed and thus optically relevant area in the image plane of line scan cameras suggests that improvement of the overall system is possible, by joint design of optics and electronics. By a technique named Linear Fovea (LF) proposed in this paper, the optical contrast along the Line-of-Interest (LOI) in the image plane i.e. the location of the opto-electronic sensor, is optimized at the expense of contrast elsewhere. In the LF method, employing a single doubly symmetric surface, the resolved ?eld of view (RFOV) as the merit function, is maximized, by ?nding appropriate Zernike coe?cients describing that surface. The technique is applied on a proof-of-concept single mirror telescope and both MTF analysis and standard target imaging simulation are performed. Results show that by this technique, the RFOV can be doubled, or alternatively the illumination can be increased 2.5 times keeping RFOV unchanged. Furthermore, a rather uniform response is kept along the LOI.

Development of HPLC Method for Determination of Sitagliptin in Human Plasma using Fluorescence Detector by Experimental Design Approach
摘要： This study describes a rapid and sensitive HPLC method using fluorescence detection, which enables the determination of Sitagliptin mono phosphate (SIT) and Itopride Hydrochloride (ITP) as internal standard with good accuracy and precision to allow its detection in human plasma. SIT and ITP were extracted by liquid liquid extraction (LLE) using ethyl acetate. All the factors were studied to optimize the chromatographic conditions using full factorial design and central composite design for screening and optimization design respectively. Chromatographic separation was achieved using C18 column (250 mm, 4.6 mm,5 μm), and mobile phase composed of 0.01M phosphate buffer (pH 4.5) and acetonitrile in a ratio 73:27 pumped at flow rate 1 mL/min and detected at 267 nm and 310 nm for excitation and emission. The method was validated over a concentration range 0.1-3 μg/mL for SIT using FDA guidelines. The intraday and inter-day precision did not exceed 5 % from the nominal concentration and accuracy was within 90-105 % at all quality control levels. The validated method was applied successfully to human plasma samples.

MultOpt++: a fast regression-based model for the development of compositions with high robustness against scatter of element concentrations
摘要： Alloys-by-design is a term used to describe new alloy development techniques based on numerical simulation. These approaches are extensively used for nickel-base superalloys to increase the chance of success in alloy development. During alloy production of numerically optimized compositions, unavoidable scattering of the element concentrations occurs. In the present paper, we investigate the effect of this scatter on the alloy properties. In particular, we describe routes to identify alloy compositions by numerical simulations that are more robust than other compositions. In our previously developed alloy development program package MultOpt, we introduced a sensitivity parameter that represents the influence of alloying variations on the final alloy properties in the post-optimization process, because the established sensitivity calculations require high computational effort. In this work, we derive a regression-based model for calculating the sensitivity that only requires one-time calculation of the regression coefficients. The model can be applied to any function with nearly linear behavior within the uncertainty range. The model is then successfully applied to the computational alloys-by-design work flow to facilitate alloy selection using the sensitivity of a composition owing to the inaccuracies in the manufacturing process as an additional minimization goal.

Anti-detection technology of cat eye target based on decentered field lens
摘要： Optoelectronic imaging equipment is easy to expose to active laser detection devices because of 'cat eye' effect. In this paper, we propose a new structure of optical system to reduce the retrore?ector effect of a cat eye target. Decentered ?eld lens structure is adopted in the design without sacri?cing imaging quality and clear aperture. An imaging system with ±30? ?eld of view is taken for example. The detailed design and simulation results are presented. The results indicate that this kind of optical system can reduce the retrore?ection signal substantially and maintain acceptable imaging performance.

Facile strategy for controllable synthesis of hierarchical hollow MoS2 microspheres with enhanced photocatalytic properties
摘要： Tailored design of photocatalysts with complicated hollow structures is of great importance for promoting environmental remediation. In this paper, monodispersed hierarchical hollow MoS2 microspheres have been prepared via a facile and economical hydrothermal method with the assistance of surfactant (polyethylene-polypropylene glycol (F68)). The unusual design displays three important features: large specific surface area, strong light absorption, and rich catalytic active sites. The specific surface area of the hierarchical hollow MoS2 microspheres is 21.75 m2g-1, which is higher than that of MoS2 particles (4.05 m2g-1) and commercial MoS2 (2.84 m2g-1). Meanwhile, the hierarchical hollow MoS2 microspheres possess strong light absorption around a broadband wavelength from 200 nm to 800 nm. Furthermore, the ordered MoS2 nanosheets which assemble to the outer surface of the hierarchical hollow MoS2 microspheres display rich catalytic active sites, which are beneficial in promoting the fast transport of charge carriers during the process of photocatalytic reaction. As a result, the photodegradation activity test demonstrates that the hierarchical hollow MoS2 microspheres exhibit excellent photocatalytic activity and recycling stability. The reaction rate constant of the hierarchical hollow MoS2 microspheres for the photodegradation of RhB is 25.32 and 18.18 times faster than that of MoS2 particles and commercial MoS2, respectively.
