Evolution of precursor powders prepared by oxalate freeze drying towards high performance Bi-2212 wires

Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O_x (Bi-2212) precursor powders were synthesized by the oxalate freeze drying (OFD) method. In comparison with the traditional method, the novel method could shorten the processing steps and thus improve the fabrication efficiency of precursor powder. The phase, microstructure and superconducting properties of Bi-2212 precursor powders and wires were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and four-probe method, respectively. The thermal behavior, surface area and particle size of powders were also discussed. The results indicated that large surface area and small particle size might improve the reactivity and uniformity of powders. These properties were beneficial for the rapid and homogeneous formation of Bi-2212. High-purity crystallized Bi-2212 powders without Bi-2201 and alkaline-earth cuprates phases could be achieved. Furthermore, multi-filamentary Bi-2212 wires with OFD powders showed good microstructures without noticeable pores and large secondary particles. Therefore, high engineering critical current densities (J_e) of 1619 A/mm² and critical current densities (J_c) of 7039 A/mm² were obtained in Bi-2212 wires at 4.2K, self field. It indicated that the oxalate freeze drying method would be a potential candidate for the mass production of high performance Bi-2212 wires.     

The influence of processing methods on the dielectric properties of BaTi1-xGdxO3-x/2 - Based materials

In this study, the intermediate rare-earth oxide Gd₂O₃ (Gd) was substituted in different amounts (x = 0.2–2 mol%) for the formulation of BaTi_1-xGd_xO_3-x/2 (BTG_x) dielectric materials. The effect of B-site substitution was confirmed by the additional Raman active A_1g octahedral peak at ~835cm^-1 strengthened at x ≥ 0.4 mol%. Additionally, properties of 0.9BTG_0.007-0.1BA dielectric ceramics were analysed based on the influence of various processing methods as a function of sintering temperature. The focal samples were labelled Method-A (direct-mix) and Method-B (indirect-mix). As the sintering temperature (1075–1200 °C) increased, the 1 kHz response of the ε–T curves of Method-A samples transformed from a single peak to broad-narrow double peaks of high dielectric loss tangent (tan δ). Nonetheless, samples of Method-B possessed a clearly defined transmission electron microscopy (TEM) core-shell structure, flattened double-peak ε-T curves, optimised dielectric properties (ε = ~1563–1851 and tan δ < 1.5% at room temperature), and a wide-ranging temperature behaviour that meets the X8R dielectric standards (ΔC/C_25°C < ±15%). The maximum dielectric breakdown strength of Method-B samples reached ~131 kVcm, while the energy storage density was ~0.726 J/cm³ at a maximum efficiency of ~80% at 1100 °C. Thus, exhibiting good potentials for balancing temperature stability with energy storage applications.     

海河平原区地下水累计可恢复超采量评价

地下水累计可恢复超采量评价对于地下水超采态势评判和超采综合治理实施都具有重要意义。本文以海河平原区为研究对象，提出超采量评价方法，旨在客观准确评价地下水累计可恢复超采量。针对浅层地下水超采量，提出生态临界水位作为传统“水位动态法”评价浅层地下水超采量的临界水位，据此得到研究区1959-2019年累计浅层超采量为869亿m³；针对深层地下水超采量，提出“不可恢复超采量”评价指标，采用地面沉降体积法评价深层地下水超采量，根据地面沉降体积计算深层承压含水层系统压密释水量体积，据此估算1970-2019年深层累计超采量为756亿m³；通过建立的一维非线性压密释水数值模型，模拟了深层承压含水层系统压密释水过程，计算得到非弹性压密释水量，评估研究区累计不可恢复超采量为558亿m³。因此本文认为，自1960年代以来，海河平原区地下水浅层和深层累计超采量1625亿m³，其中可恢复的超采量仅为1067亿m³。该研究结果可为未来地下水回补水量和南水北调规划调水量的确定提供参考。

Achieving High Electroluminescence Efficiency and High Color Rendering Index for All-Fluorescent White OLEDs Based on an Out-of-Phase Sensitizing System

Sensitizing conventional fluorescence (CF) dopants with thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials has achieved considerable progress, by which the advantages of TADF materials and CF dopants can be fully harnessed. However, the usually used co-phase configuration of CF dopant-engaged sensitizing systems often encounters exciton loss due to Dexter energy transfer (DET). Herein, an effective out-of-phase configuration is proposed to sensitize CF dopants in the fabrication of white organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs). Based on a new efficient sky-blue TADF luminogen DCP-BP-DPAC which has an electroluminescence (EL) peak at 486 nm and an EL efficiency of 26.6%, a green TADF material BDMAC-XT, and a red CF dopant DBP sensitized by BDMAC-XT through an out-of-phase configuration without interlayer, efficient WOLEDs are successfully fabricated. By further adopting orange TBRB or 4CzTPNBu as intermediate sensitizers, more efficient energy transfer to DBP is achieved via Förster energy transfer. Through step-by-step energy transfer and elimination of excess DET process, high-performance all-fluorescent WOLEDs are achieved, providing excellent EL efficiencies over 23.0%, and highly stable white light with a high color rendering index of 87. The outstanding EL performance and high-quality emission color demonstrate the great potential of the proposed out-of-phase design for sensitizing systems of WOLEDs.
