The Preparation of N, P-Doped NiSe Nanorod Electrode Materials on Nickel Foam Using the Microwave Method for High-Performance Supercapacitors.

Transition metal selenides have the leading position in the field of energy storage and conversion due to their high theoretical capacity, good electrical conductivity, and cycling stability. Nickel is widely used for the construction of positive electrodes in devices due to its good conductivity, variable valence state, and ideal redox activity. NiSe materials have high internal resistance and are prone to volume change during charging and discharging, thus affecting the practical application of this electrode material, and the reported NiSe materials have not achieved a more desirable capacity value. Therefore, in this study, N, P-NiSe nanoelectrode materials were prepared using nickel foam as the nickel source and hexachlorocyclotriphonitrile as the nitrogen and phosphorus dopant using an efficient, energy-saving, and simple microwave method. It was also characterised by XRD and XPS to confirm the successful preparation of N, P-NiSe materials. In addition, the material yielded a high capacitance value (3184 F g-1) and good cycling stability (72% of the initial capacitance value was retained after 4000 cycles) in electrochemical tests. To demonstrate its excellent suitability for practical applications, an asymmetric supercapacitor was assembled using N, P-NiSe as the anode and activated carbon as the cathode. At an operating voltage of 1.6 V, the device achieved an energy density of 289.06 Wh kg-1 and a power density of 799.26 W kg-1 and retained 80% of its initial capacity after 20,000 cycles.

Integrated Optimization of Structure and Control for Fast Steering Mirrors.

This study concerns the problem of integrated optimization of structure and control based on a fast steering mirror, aiming to achieve simultaneous optimization of the mechanical structure and control system. The traditional research and development path of the fast steering mirror involves a lengthy process from the initial design to the final physical manufacture. In the prior process, it was necessary to produce physical prototypes for repeated debugging and iterative optimization to achieve design requirements, but this approach consumes a significant amount of time and cost. To expedite this process and reduce unnecessary experimental costs, this study proposes an integrated optimization of structure and control (IOSC) method. With the use of IOSC, it is possible to achieve simultaneous optimization of structure and control. Specifically, the use of non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) obtains globally optimal controller parameters and mechanical structure parameters under certain performance indices. This achieves an effective balance between the resonance frequency generated by the system and the working bandwidth, providing a high-precision reference for the research and development of fast steering mirrors.
