摘要The development of large-scale synthetic methods for high quality carbon quantum dots(CQDs) is fundamental to their applications.However,the macroscopic preparation and scale up synthetic of CQDs is still in its infancy.Here,we report a facile,green,kilogram-scale synthesis of high quality fluorescent CQDs derived from poplar leaves via a one-step hydrothermal method.Notably,the throughput of CQDs can reach a level up to as high as 1.4975 kg in one pot.The structure and properties of the as-prepared CQDs were assessed through TEM,XRD,XPS and various spectroscopic methods.The obtained high quality CQD s with a photoluminescent quantum yield of 10.64% showed remarkable stability in aqueous media,rich functional groups,high photostability,consistent photoluminescence within biological pH range and low cytotoxicity.On account of these good properties,we demonstrated the multifunctional application to electrocatalytic water splitting,Fe^3+ sensing and bioimaging.It showed remarkable electrocatalytic activity,Fe^3+ sensitivity and good biocompatibility.This study provides a green,facile,inexpensive and large-scale method for producing high quality CQDs,which provides application value for large-scale production of CQDs.

摘要Ammonia borane(NH3BH3,AB) is promising for chemical hydrogen sto rage;however,current systems for rapid hydrogen production are limited by the expensive noble metal catalysts required for AB hydrolysis.Here we report the design and synthesis of a highly efficient and robust non-noble-metal catalyst for the hydrolysis of AB at 298 K(TOF=89.56 molH2 min-1 molCo-1).Experiments and density functional theory calculations were performed to explore the catalyst’s hybrid nanoparticle heterostructure and its catalytic mechanism.The catalyst comprised nitrogen-doped carbon dots confining CoO and CoP,and exhibited strong interface-induced synergistic catalysis for AB hydrolysis that effectively decreased the energy barriers for the dissociation of both AB and water molecules.The co-doping of N and P introduced numerous defects,and further regulated the reactivity of the carbon layers.The heterogeneous interface design technique presented here provides a new strategy for developing efficient and inexpensive non-noblemetal catalysts that may be applicable in other fields related to energy catalysis.

摘要The quantitative understanding of how atomic-level catalyst structural changes affect the reactivity of the electrochemical CO2reduction reaction is challenging.Due to the complexity of catalytic systems,conventional in situ X-ray spectroscopy plays a limited role in tracing the underlying dynamic structural changes in catalysts active sites.Herein,operando high-energy resolution fluorescence-detected X-ray absorption spectroscopy was used to precisely identify the dynamic structural transformation of well-defined active sites of a representative model copper(Ⅱ)phthalocyanine catalyst which is of guiding significance in studying single-atom catalysis system.Comprehensive X-ray spectroscopy analyses,including surface sensitive△μspectra which isolates the surface changes by subtracting the disturb of bulk base and X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy simulation,were used to discover that Cu species aggregated with increasing applied potential,which is responsible for the observed evolution of C2H4.The approach developed in this work,characterizing the active-site geometry and dynamic structural change,is a novel and powerful technique to elucidate complex catalytic mechanisms and is expected to con tribute to the rational design of highly effective catalysts.

摘要Water electrolysis using proton-exchange membranes is one of the most promising technologies for carbon-neutral and sustainable energy production.Generally,the overall efficiency of water splitting is limited by the oxygen evolution reaction(OER).Nevertheless,a trade-off between activity and stability exists for most electrocatalytic materials in strong acids and oxidizing media,and the development of efficient and stable catalytic materials has been an important focus of research.In this view,gaining in-depth insights into the OER system,particularly the interactions between reaction intermediates and active sites,is significantly important.To this end,this review introduces the fundamentals of the OER over Ru-based materials,including the conventional adsorbate evolution mechanism,lattice oxygen oxidation mechanism,and oxide path mechanism.Moreover,the up-to-date progress of representative modifications for improving OER performance is further discussed with reference to specific mechanisms,such as tuning of geometric,electronic structures,incorporation of proton acceptors,and optimization of metal-oxygen covalency.Finally,some valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities for OER electrocatalysts are provided with the aim to promote the development of next-generation catalysts with high activity and excellent stability.

摘要Water electrolysis is considered as one most promising technique for hydrogen production.The high efficiency electrocatalyst is the key to accelerating the sluggish kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction(HER) in alkaline media.In this work,an efficient HER electrocatalyst with hetero-interfacial metal-metal oxide structure was constructed through a redox solid phase reaction(SPR) strategy.During the annealing process under Ar atmosphere,RuO2 and WS2in RuO2/WS2precursor were converted to Ru nanoparticles(NPs) and WO3in situ,where tiny Ru NPs and oxygen vacancies were uniformly distributed onto the newly formed WO3nanosheets.Different characterization techniques were adopted to confirm the successful formation of Ru/WO3electrocatalyst(RWOC).The optimized RWOC sample annealed at 400℃ exhibited the low overpotential value of 13 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2and strong durability under the alkaline condition.Density functional theoretical calculations further revealed that the promoted adsorption/desorption rate of reaction intermediates and the accelerated kinetics of HER process were deduced to the synergistic effect between Ru and WO3in electrocatalyst.This work provides a feasible method to fabricate highly efficient HER electrocatalysts.

摘要At present,super-resolution algorithms are employed to tackle the challenge of low image resolution,but it is difficult to extract differentiated feature details based on various inputs,resulting in poor generalization ability.Given this situation,this study first analyzes the features of some feature extraction modules of the current super-resolution algorithm and then proposes an adaptive feature fusion block(AFB)for feature extraction.This module mainly comprises dynamic convolution,attention mechanism,and pixel-based gating mechanism.Combined with dynamic convolution with scale information,the network can extract more differentiated feature information.The introduction of a channel spatial attention mechanism combined with multi-feature fusion further enables the network to retain more important feature information.Dynamic convolution and pixel-based gating mechanisms enhance the module’s adaptability.Finally,a comparative experiment of a super-resolution algorithm based on the AFB module is designed to substantiate the efficiency of the AFB module.The results revealed that the network combined with the AFB module has stronger generalization ability and expression ability.

摘要Understanding the atomic and electronic changes of active sites promotes the whole new sight into electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction(CO2RR),which provides a feasible strategy to achieve carbon neutrality.Here we employ operando high-energy resolution fluorescence-detected Xray absorption spectroscopy(HERFD-XAS)to track the structural evolution of Ni(II)phthalocyanine(NiPc),considered as the model catalysts with uniform Ni-N4-C8 moiety,during the CO2RR.The HERFD-XAS method is in favor of elucidating the interaction of the reactant/catalyst interface from the atomic electronic structure dimension,facilitating the establishment of the catalytic mechanism and the dynamic structure changes.Based on operando measurement,surface sensitive difference spectra(△μ)and spectroscopy simulation,the interfacial interactions between the active sites of NiPc and reactants are monitored and the Ni species gradually reduced by increasing the applied potential is discovered.HERFD-XAS method offers an advanced and powerful tool for elucidating the complex catalytic mechanism in further various systems.

摘要This study addresses the limitations of Transformer models in image feature extraction,particularly their lack of inductive bias for visual structures.Compared to Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs),the Transformers are more sensitive to different hyperparameters of optimizers,which leads to a lack of stability and slow convergence.To tackle these challenges,we propose the Convolution-based Efficient Transformer Image Feature Extraction Network(CEFormer)as an enhancement of the Transformer architecture.Our model incorporates E-Attention,depthwise separable convolution,and dilated convolution to introduce crucial inductive biases,such as translation invariance,locality,and scale invariance,into the Transformer framework.Additionally,we implement a lightweight convolution module to process the input images,resulting in faster convergence and improved stability.This results in an efficient convolution combined Transformer image feature extraction network.Experimental results on the ImageNet1k Top-1 dataset demonstrate that the proposed network achieves better accuracy while maintaining high computational speed.It achieves up to 85.0%accuracy across various model sizes on image classification,outperforming various baseline models.When integrated into the Mask Region-ConvolutionalNeuralNetwork(R-CNN)framework as a backbone network,CEFormer outperforms other models and achieves the highest mean Average Precision(mAP)scores.This research presents a significant advancement in Transformer-based image feature extraction,balancing performance and computational efficiency.

摘要This study investigates the distinct impacts of eastern Pacific(EP)and central Pacific(CP)El Niño events on winter shortwave solar radiation(SSR)in southern China,revealing different spatial distributions and underlying mechanisms.The results show that,during the developing winter of EP El Niño,significant SSR reductions occur in southwestern China and the east coast of southern China due to a strong,zonally extended Northwest Pacific anticyclone that transports moisture from the tropical Northwest Pacific and North Indian Ocean,while the northeast of southern China experiences a weak increase in SSR.In contrast,during the developing winter of CP El Niño,SSR decreases in the east of southern China with a significant decrease in the lower basin of the Yangtze River but an increase in the west of southern China with a remarkable increase in eastern Yunnan.The pronounced east-west dipole pattern in SSR anomalies is driven by a meridionally elongated Northwest Pacific anticyclone,which enhances northward moisture transport to the east of southern China while leaving western areas drier.Further research reveals that distinct moisture anomalies during the developing winter of EP and CP events result in divergent SSR distributions across southern China,primarily through modulating the total cloud cover.These findings highlight the critical need to differentiate between El Niño types when predicting medium and long-term variability of radiation in southern China.

摘要Robust teleoperation in image-guided interventions faces critical challenges from latency,deformation,and the quasi-periodic nature of physiological motion.This paper presents a fully integrated,latency-aware visual servoing system leveraging stereo vision,hand–eye calibration,and learning-based prediction for motion-compensated teleoperation.The system combines a calibrated binocular camera setup,dual robotic arms,and a predictive control loop incorporating Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)and Temporal Convolutional Network(TCN)models.Through experiments using both in vivo and phantom datasets,we quantitatively assess the prediction accuracy and motion-compensation performance of both models.Results show that TCNs deliver more stable and precise tracking,especially on regular trajectories,while LSTMs exhibit robustness under quasi-periodic dynamics.By matching prediction horizons to system latency,the approach significantly reduces peak and steady-state tracking errors,demonstrating practical feasibility for deploying prediction-augmented servoing in teleoperated surgical.

摘要Soft-tissue motion introduces significant challenges in robotic teleoperation,especially in medical scenarios where precise target tracking is critical.Latency across sensing,computation,and actuation chains leads to degraded tracking performance,particularly around high-acceleration segments and trajectory inflection points.This study investigates machine learning-based predictive compensation for latency mitigation in soft-tissue tracking.Three models—autoregressive(AR),long short-term memory(LSTM),and temporal convolutional network(TCN)—were implemented and evaluated on both synthetic and real datasets.By aligning the prediction horizon with the end-to-end system delay,we demonstrate that prediction-based compensation significantly reduces tracking errors.Among the models,TCN achieved superior robustness and accuracy on complex motion patterns,particularly in multi-step prediction tasks,and exhibited better latency–horizon compatibility.The results suggest that TCN is a promising candidate for real-time latency compensation in teleoperated robotic systems involving dynamic soft-tissue interaction.
