    查看更多>>摘要:The emergence of exotic quantum phenomena in frustrated magnets is rapidly driving the development of quantum many-body physics,raising fundamental questions on the nature of quantum phase transi-tions.Here we unveil the behaviour of emergent symmetry involving two extraordinarily representative phenomena,i.e.,the deconfined quantum critical point(DQCP)and the quantum spin liquid(QSL)state.Via large-scale tensor network simulations,we study a spatially anisotropic spin-1/2 square-lattice frus-trated antiferromagnetic(AFM)model,namely the J1x-J1y-J2 model,which contains anisotropic nearest-neighbor couplings J1x,J1y and the next nearest neighbor coupling J2.For small J1y/J1x,by tuning J2,a direct continuous transition between the AFM and valence bond solid phase is observed.With growing J1y/J1x,a gapless QSL phase gradually emerges between the AFM and VBS phases.We observe an emer-gent O(4)symmetry along the AFM-VBS transition line,which is consistent with the prediction of DQCP theory.Most surprisingly,we find that such an emergent O(4)symmetry holds for the whole QSL-VBS transition line as well.These findings reveal the intrinsic relationship between the QSL and DQCP from categorical symmetry point of view,and strongly constrain the quantum field theory descrip-tion of the QSL phase.The phase diagram and critical exponents presented in this paper are of direct rel-evance to future experiments on frustrated magnets and cold atom systems.

    Polysulfide regulation by defect-modulated Ta3N5-x electrocatalyst toward superior room-temperature sodium-sulfur batteries

    查看更多>>摘要:Resolving low sulfur reaction activity and severe polysulfide dissolution remains challenging in metal-sulfur batteries.Motivated by a theoretical prediction,herein,we strategically propose nitrogen-vacancy tantalum nitride(Ta3N5-x)impregnated inside the interconnected nanopores of nitrogen-decorated carbon matrix as a new electrocatalyst for regulating sulfur redox reactions in room-temperature sodium-sulfur batteries.Through a pore-constriction mechanism,the nitrogen vacancies are controllably constructed during the nucleation of Ta3N5-x.The defect manipulation on the local envi-ronment enables well-regulated Ta 5d-orbital energy level,not only modulating band structure toward enhanced intrinsic conductivity of Ta-based materials,but also promoting polysulfide stabilization and achieving bifunctional catalytic capability toward completely reversible polysulfide conversion.Moreover,the interconnected continuous Ta3N5-x-in-pore structure facilitates electron and sodium-ion transport and accommodates volume expansion of sulfur species while suppressing their shuttle behav-ior.Due to these attributes,the as-developed Ta3N5-x-based electrode achieves superior rate capability of 730 mAh g-1 at 3.35 A g-1,long-term cycling stability over 2000 cycles,and high areal capacity over 6 mAh cm-2 under high sulfur loading of 6.2 mg cm-2.This work not only presents a new sulfur electro-catalyst candidate for metal-sulfur batteries,but also sheds light on the controllable material design of defect structure in hopes of inspiring new ideas and directions for future research.

    查看更多>>摘要:High-voltage lithium metal batteries(LMBs)have been considered promising next-generation high-energy-density batteries.However,commercial carbonate electrolytes can scarcely be employed in LMBs owing to their poor compatibility with metallic lithium.N,N-dimethylacrylamide(DMAA)-a crosslinkable solubilizer with a high Gutmann donor number-is employed to facilitate the dissolution of insoluble lithium nitrate(LiNO3)in carbonate-based electrolytes and to form gel polymer electrolytes(GPEs)through in situ polymerization.The Li+solvation structure of the GPEs is regulated using LiNO3 and DMAA,which suppresses the decomposition of LiPF6 and facilitates the formation of an inorganic-rich solid electrolyte interface.Consequently,the Coulombic efficiency(CE)of the Li‖Cu cell assembled with a GPE increases to 98.5%at room temperature,and the high-voltage Li‖NCM622 cell achieves a capacity retention of 80.1%with a high CE of 99.5%after 400 cycles.The bifunctional polymer electrolytes are anticipated to pave the way for next-generation high-voltage LMBs.

    查看更多>>摘要:Atomic layer deposition(ALD)offers unique capabilities to fabricate atomically engineered porous mate-rials with precise pore tuning and multi-functionalization for diverse applications like advanced mem-brane separations towards sustainable energy-water systems.However,current ALD technique is inhibited on most non-polar polymeric membranes due to lack of accessible nucleation sites.Here,we report a facile method to efficiently promote ALD coating on hydrophobic surface of polymeric mem-branes via novel protein activation/sensitization.As a proof of concept,TiO2 ALD-coated membranes acti-vated by bovine serum albumin exhibit remarkable superhydrophilicity,ultralow underwater crude oil adhesion,and robust tolerance to rigorous environments including acid,alkali,saline,and ethanol.Most importantly,excellent cyclable crude oil-in-water emulsion separation performance can be achieved.The mechanism for activation/sensitization is rooted in reactivity for a particular set of amino acids.Furthermore,the universality of protein-sensitized ALD is demonstrated using common egg white,promising numerous potential usages in biomedical engineering,environmental remediation,low-carbon manufacturing,catalysis,and beyond.

    Wear-resistant CoCrNi multi-principal element alloy at cryogenic temperature

    查看更多>>摘要:Traditional high strength engineering alloys suffer from serious surface brittleness and inferior wear per-formance when servicing under sliding contact at cryogenic temperature.Here,we report that the recently emerging CoCrNi multi-principal element alloy defies this trend and presents dramatically enhanced wear resistance when temperature decreases from 273 to 153 K,surpassing those of cryogenic austenitic steels.The temperature-dependent structure characteristics and deformation mechanisms influencing the cryogenic wear resistance of CoCrNi are clarified through microscopic observation and atomistic simulation.It is found that sliding-induced subsurface structures show distinct scenarios at dif-ferent deformation temperatures.At cryogenic condition,significant grain refinement and a deep plastic zone give rise to an extended microstructural gradient below the surface,which can accommodate mas-sive sliding deformation,in direct contrast to the strain localization and delamination at 273 K.Meanwhile,the temperature-dependent cryogenic deformation mechanisms(stacking fault networks and phase transformation)also provide additional strengthening and toughening of the subsurface mate-rial.These features make the CoCrNi alloy particularly wear resistant at cryogenic conditions and an excellent candidate for safety-critical applications.

    查看更多>>摘要:Understanding the responses of precipitation extremes to global climate change remains limited owing to their poor representations in models and complicated interactions with multi-scale systems.Here we take the record-breaking precipitation over China in 2021 as an example,and study its changes under three different climate scenarios through a developed pseudo-global-warming(PGW)experimental framework with 60-3 km variable-resolution global ensemble modeling.Compared to the present cli-mate,the precipitation extreme under a warmer(cooler)climate increased(decreased)in intensity,cov-erage,and total amount at a range of 24.3%-37.8%(18.7%-56.1%).With the help of the proposed PGW experimental framework,we further reveal the impacts of the multi-scale system interactions in climate change on the precipitation extreme.Under the warmer climate,large-scale water vapor transport con-verged from double typhoons and the subtropical high marched into central China,enhancing the con-vective energy and instability on the leading edge of the transport belt.As a result,the mesoscale convective system(MCS)that directly contributed to the precipitation extreme became stronger than that in the present climate.On the contrary,the cooler climate displayed opposite changing characteris-tics relative to the warmer climate,ranging from the large-scale systems to local environments and to the MCS.In summary,our study provides a promising approach to scientifically assess the response of pre-cipitation extremes to climate change,making it feasible to perform ensemble simulations while inves-tigating the multi-scale system interactions over the globe.
