摘要： The poly(epoxy-N-methylaniline)conductive organic carrier was used as the bonding phase of the low-temperature conductive silver paste.Then,this was mixed with different proportions of silver powder to prepare the low-temperature conductive silver paste.Afterwards,the effect of the conductive organic carrier on the properties of the low-temperature conductive silver paste was determined by IR,DMA and SEM.The results revealed that the prepared conductive paste has good conductivity,film-forming performance,printing performance,low-temperature curing performance,and anti-aging performance.When the mass percentage of the bonding phase/conductive phase was 40/60,the lowest volume resistivity of the conductive silver paste was 4.9×10^(−6)Ω⋅cm,and the conductivity was the best.

摘要： The cone-jet in electrohydrodynamic atomization has been widely applied into numerous industrial fields owing to micro-sized drops with narrow distribution and high charge.The electrified jet emits from a single capillary sheathed with quartz tube is visualized versus operating parameters and physical properties,and breakup instabilities are also discussed.The range of operating parameters for a steady conejet broadens,as well as the minimum flow rate.Taylor cone angle decreases with an increase in flow rate,while increases as electric potential increasing.The jet breakup length decreases with an increase in flow rate and conductivity,while increases as electric potential increasing.The diffusion angle increases as flow rate increasing,while decrease as electric potential and conductivity increasing.Much clearer whipping instabilities are observed with an increase in“electro-Weber”number and conductivity.The completion in disturbance or/and suppression from axial and radial stresses,drag force dominates the variation.Meanwhile,for a large flow rate,the transition from varicose instabilities to whipping instabilities is found.The whipping instabilities are clearly observed for high conductivity due to much more free ions in liquid.For much higher conductivity,an intermittent electrified jet appears and shows an umbrella plume,and breakup length sharply shortens.

摘要： Intrabody communication(IBC)technology is becoming progressively more standard-ized due to its low power consumption and high security features incorporated into the third phys-ical layer of the IEEE 802.15.6 standard.Even then,there are still many challenges in normalizing the measurement issues of IBC.A major concern that should not be overlooked is the electrodes in the IBC,especially the popular use of gel electrodes.In the channel measurements,gel electrodes are commonly employed to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and prevent electrodes from falling off.In this paper,a comparative study of the electrical properties of gel was investigated during the measurement of human channel characteristics and to clarify the differences of them.Firstly,the basis of electrostatic field pole plate measurements and electromagnetic theory were introduced to interpretate how the relative permittivity and conductivity of different gels will influence the meas-urement results.Then the in vivo experiments with different gel or dry electrodes were performed to compare the differences induced by the gel.The results indicate that the influence of the gel on the human channel measurement is mainly concentrated below 400 kHz(the attenuation is re-duced by 16.7 dB on average),and the stability of the permittivity and conductivity of the gel has a direct impact on the stability of its measurement of the human channel.This result may provide a meaningful reference for the standardization of electrode usage in IBC.

摘要： Conductive and transparent dipeptide hydrogels are desirable building blocks to prepare soft electronic devices and wearable biosensors due to their excellent biocompatibility,multi-functionality,and physiochemical properties similar to those of body tissues.However,the preparation of such hydrogels featuring high conductivity and transparency is a huge challenge because of the hydrophobic feature of conductive additives making the doping process difficult.To overcome this issue,hydrophilic conductive polydopamine(PDA)-doped polypyrrole(PPy)nanoparticles are introduced into the dipeptide hydrogel networks to form conductive nanofibrils in situ to achieve a good level of hydrophilic templating of the hydrogel networks.This tech-nique creates a complete conductive network and allows visible light to pass through.The strategy proposed herein not only endows the dipeptide hydrogel with good conductivity and high transparency,but also provides a great potential application of conductive dipeptide hydrogels for body-adhered signal detection,as evidenced by the experimental data.

摘要： The novel polycrystalline Bi0.85Gd0.15CuxFe1-xO3 (x = 0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, 0.10) multiferroics are synthesized by the usual solid-state reaction route. The synthesis of the desired phase has been verified by the X-ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns. With major structural phases, few traces of secondary phases of Bi2Fe4O9 and Bi25FeO40 appear for all the compositions. A discontinuous series of structural changes with varying compositions are observed for the doped samples. The bulk density (ρB) increases with Cu content reaches the highest at x = 0.05 and then declines. The complex initial permeability and dielectric characterizations are performed by Wayne Kerr Impedance Analyzer. The x = 0.05 samples having maximum density exhibit the highest permeability (μi’) implying a close relation between μi’ and the density. The reduction of μi’ at higher Cu concentration is due to the low density of the samples associated with the increased intragranular pores. The dielectric constant (ε’) is measured against frequency in the range 1 kHz - 10 MHz. It is perceived that ε’ falls with the rise in frequency up to 100 kHz. This dielectric dispersion is observed at a lower frequency as a result of interfacial polarization outlined by Maxwell-Wagner. The maximum ε’ is obtained for x = 0.025 composition. In the low-frequency range, the AC conductivity σAC is practically independent of frequency and resembles the DC conductivity (σDC). In the vicinity of high frequency recognized as the hopping region, σAC rises since the conductive grains are more active at high frequencies. The co-doping with Gd and Cu in BiFeO3 ceramics enhances the magnetic and dielectric properties of the ceramics and hence can be utilized for fabricating multifunctional devices.

摘要： Perovskite-type lithium lanthanum titanates(LLTO)display a high bulk ionic conductivity and are considered a promising electrolyte for building up to advanced solid-state Li-ion batteries.The LLTO crystals contain a high concentration of intrinsically formed 90ο-rotated domain boundaries(DBs)serving as barriers to bulk Li-ion conduction.However,the mechanism of how the DB concentration and DB resistance can compete with each other to determine the bulk conductivity of LLTO is still unknown.Here we report a comprehensive study of LLTO compounds,aimed to unravel the mechanism and hence explore new path(s)for further improving the conductivity of this material.Our results show that both the sintering temperature and chemical composition can affect significantly the domain structures in LLTO.It is found that a decrease in the DB concentration is always accompanied by increased DB resistance due to the increased lattice mismatch at DBs,and vice versa.By unifying the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy analysis,it is clearly shown that the high DB resistance,instead of DB concentration,acts as the dominant factor governing the bulk conductivity of LLTO.The results thus renew the conventional understanding of the bulk Li-ion conduction in LLTO and shed light on developing novel LLTO electrolyte materials with improved ionic conductivity.

摘要： Although sodium ion capacitors(SICs)are considered as one of the most promising electrochemical energy storage devices(organic electrolyte batteries,aqueous batteries and supercapacitor,etc.)due to the combined merits of battery and capacitor,the slow reaction kinetics and low specific capacity of anode materials are the main challenges.Point defects including vacancies and heteroatoms doping have been widely used to improve the kinetics behavior and capacity of anode materials.However,the interaction between vacancies and heteroatoms doping have been seldomly investigated.In this study,a hybrid point defects(HPD)engineering has been proposed to synthesize TiO2 with both oxygen vacancies(OVs)and P-dopants(TiO2/C-HPD).In comparison with sole OVs or P-doping treatments,the synergistic effects of HPD on its electrical conductivity and sodium storage performance have been clarified through the density func-tional theory calculation and sodium storage characterization.As expected,the kinetics and electronic conductivity of TiO2/C-HPD3 are significantly improved,resulting in excellent rate performance and outstanding cycle stability.Moreover,the SICs assembled from TiO2/C-HPD3 anode and nitrogen-doped porous carbon cathode show outstanding power/energy density,ultra-long life with good capacity retention.This work provides a novel point defect engineering perspective for the development of high-performance SICs electrode materials.

摘要： Proppant plays a significant role in the hydraulic fracturing process, which can affect the production of oil and gas wells. Due to the high density and low adhesion force, the settling speed of traditional proppants is fast, which will lead to the blockage of a crack channel. In this study, a proppant with double layer structure is fabricated by coating epoxy-resin and shaly detritus on ceramic proppants for the first time,respectively. The epoxy-resin enables the shaly detritus to be coated on the proppant successfully, which can provide a new method for shaly detritus treatment. The adhesive ability of shaly detritus and epoxyresin coated proppants(SEPs) is improved by 10.4% under the load force of 500 n N, which prolongs the time for the fracture to close. At the same time, the suspending ability of SEPs is two times higher than the uncoated proppants. Once the guar gum solution concentration is 0.3 wt%, the settling time of SEPs is36.7% longer than that of the uncoated proppants, which can effectively reduce the settlement of proppants in the crack. In addition, the hydrophobicity of the SEPs is enhanced, which reduces the wateroil ratio of crude oil and increases the liquid conductivity tested by deionized water. In summary, this new proppant is expected to promote the development of unconventional oil and gas resources.

摘要： The silver nanowires(Ag NWs)electrodes,which consist of incompact Ag nanoparticles(NPs)formed by multi-photon photoreduction,usually have poor conductivities.An effective strategy for enhancing conductivity of the Ag NWs elec-trodes is plasmon-enhanced nanosoldering(PLNS)by laser irradiation.Here,plasmon-enhanced photothermal effect is used to locally solder Ag NPs and then aggregates of these NPs grow into large irregular particles in PLNS process.Fi-nite element method(FEM)simulations indicate that the soldering process is triggered by localized surface plasmon-in-duced electric field enhancement at“hot-spots”.The effectiveness of PLNS for enhancing conductivity depends on laser power density and irradiation time.By optimizing the conditions of PLNS,the electrical conductivity of Ag NWs is signific-antly enhanced and the conductivityσs is increased to 2.45×107 S/m,which is about 39%of the bulk Ag.This PLNS of Ag NWs provides an efficient and cost-effective technique to rapidly produce large-area metal nanowire electrodes and capacitors with high conductivity,excellent uniformity,and good flexibility.
