WER-Net: A New Lightweight Wide-Spectrum Encoding and Reconstruction Neural Network Applied to Computational Spectrum.

The computational spectrometer has significant potential for portable in situ applications. Encoding and reconstruction are the most critical technical procedures. In encoding, the random mass production and selection method lacks quantitative designs which leads to low encoding efficiency. In reconstruction, traditional spectrum reconstruction algorithms such as matching tracking and gradient descent demonstrate disadvantages like limited accuracy and efficiency. In this paper, we propose a new lightweight convolutional neural network called the wide-spectrum encoding and reconstruction neural network (WER-Net), which includes optical filters, quantitative spectral transmittance encoding, and fast spectral reconstruction of the encoded spectral information. The spectral transmittance curve obtained by WER-net can be fabricated through the inverse design network. The spectrometer developed based on WER-net experimentally demonstrates that it can achieve a 2-nm high resolution. In addition, the spectral transmittance encoding curve trained by WER-Net has also achieved good performance in other spectral reconstruction algorithms.

Strategy to Achieve Augmented Photoelectrochemical Water Oxidation via Heteroband Structure Engineering and In Situ Interface Activation.

A simple strategy to achieve remarkable activity of photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation is both a critical requirement prior to accelerating the deployment of hydrogen and an important pursuit for renewable solar energy utilization. Despite various ways to improve the PEC performance, laborious fabrication and a statically driven process for water oxidation are still the most challenging tasks. We, herein, demonstrated an extremely simple but extraordinary effective strategy to boost PEC water splitting in a three-dimensional (3D) network structure (Ni foam, i.e., NF)-supported ZnO nanowire (NW)/CdS nanoparticle (NP) (NF/ZnO/CdS) photoelectrode. On the one hand, the establishment and optimization of a heteroband junction between ZnO NWs and CdS NPs substantially reduce the solar energy loss and increase the photocarrier utilization rate at the interface of two phases. On the other hand, the solution flow rotation in the unique macroporous 3D network structure gives rise to obvious piezoelectric (PE) polarization of ZnO located on the skeleton of Ni foam, which can dynamically enforce directional charge transfer. This real-time self-built PE polarization, assisted by the heteroband junction, enables the NF/ZnO/CdS photoanode system to obtain an improved photocurrent density by 12.2-fold compared with pure ZnO (at 1.23 V vs RHE). This work sheds light on an ingenious design strategy for fabricating photoelectrodes that combines a simplified structure and an effectively enhanced water oxidation performance.

The strong interfacial coupling effect of Nafion between LaFeO3/electrolyte for efficient photoelectrochemical water reduction.

Insufficient reduction capability and scanty active substance limit the application of LaFeO3(LFO) in the field of photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. This work demonstrates a judicious combination of LFO/Nafion composite to improve the PEC performance by a unique dip-coating method on the FTO. The photocurrent density of the LFO electrode coated with two layers Nafion increased to -23.9µA cm-2at 0.47 V versus RHE, which is 4.1 times that of the pristine LFO. Based on the experimental data and theoretical analysis, the improvement of the PEC properties is attributed to the construction of organic/inorganic units, which would enable strong electronic coupling and favor interfacial charge transfer, resulting in a 30 mV downward shift of its flat band potential. Thus, the conduction band gets closer to the proton reduction potential of H+to H2after decoration with Nafion, resulting in a stronger photogenerated electron reduction ability. Our study provides insights that organic materials modify semiconductor photoelectrodes for accelerating charge kinetics.

Yolk-shell hierarchical catalyst with tremella-like molybdenum sulfide on transition metal (Co, Ni and Fe) sulfide for electrochemical water splitting.

Tremella-like MoS2 nano-sheets were directly synthesized on transition metal sulfides (TMS) via a solvothermal method, displaying extreme activities towards hydrogen and oxygen evolution in alkaline condition. The enhanced performance is attributed to the synergistic effect between the MoS2 shell and TMS yolk, expanded interlayer distance and the hierarchical structure.

Synthesis of octahedral Pt-Ni-Ir yolk-shell nanoparticles and their catalysis in oxygen reduction and methanol oxidization under both acidic and alkaline conditions.

Fuel cells are expected to be one of the most promising alternatives to the increasingly scarce fossil fuels, and Pt is the most commonly used catalyst for anodic and cathodic electrochemical reactions. To realize large-scale commercialization, it is most urgent to improve the efficiency of Pt and reduce the cost. Here, we synthesized an octahedral Pt-Ni-Ir yolk-shell catalyst through stepwise co-deposition (SCD), surface-limited Pt deposition (SLPD) and Ni-coordinating etching (NCE) processes. Experimental studies showed that the catalytic activities of the as-prepared trimetal yolk-shell catalyst were several times higher than that of the commercial Pt/C towards oxygen reduction and methanol oxidization under both acidic and alkaline conditions. This work may be extended to designing other multimetallic functional materials with complex hierarchical nanostructures, which is conducive to greatly enhancing the performance.

Associations between intimate partner violence with emotion regulation and selfefficacy among young students with love experience / 中国学校卫生

Objective@#To understand the current situation of intimate partner violence (IPV) among young students in Chengdu and its relationship with emotion regulation self-efficacy,and to provide a reference for conducting the education on close relationship.@*Methods@#Totally 1 041 young students with love experience in Chengdu were selected by by stratified cluster random sampling to explore potentional factors related to IPV.@*Results@#The incidence of IPV perpetration among young students with love experience was as high as 69.6% and the incidence of IPV victimization was 62.2%. Young students had committed(65.4%) or been subjected(64.0%) to more than three intimate partner violence. 59.92% young students were both perpetrators and victims of IPV. Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that compared with young female students, young male students were not prone to commit violence in intimate relationships(OR=0.59), but may become victims of IPV(OR=1.91). More than half a year in love(OR=1.70), cohabitation(OR=2.47), bullying by peers (OR=1.54) and interference by parents (OR=1.63) were risk factors for IPV perpetration. Among them, more than half a year in love (OR=1.51) and cohabitants (OR=2.52) were positively associated with IPV victimization. The efficacy of managing negative emotions was a negatively associated with IPV perpetration (OR=0.96) and victimization(OR=0.97)(P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#The phenomenon of intimate partner violence among young students is more common, which is closely related to the rearing style of young students, peer relationship, love relationship and the ability to manage negative emotions, which should be paid attention to.
