Optimal Design of Voltage Equalization Ring for the 1100 kV DC Voltage Proportional Standard Device Based on the Nation Standard Device Neural Network and Grey Wolf Optimization Algorithm

The DC voltage ratio standard device is an important tool for calibrating DC voltage transformers. At the 1100 kV voltage level, an increase in electric field intensity will increase the local heat generated inside the device, affecting the accuracy of its measurement. Using a suitable grading ring can even out the electric field intensity and reduce the maximum field strength to improve its measurement accuracy. This article mainly optimizes the design of the grading-ring structure of the 1100 kV DC voltage ratio standard device. First, a finite-element model of the 1100 kV DC voltage ratio standard device was built based on ANSYS; the electric field distribution around the voltage divider was calculated and analyzed, and a data set was constructed based on the calculation results. Secondly, for the optimization of electric field strength, this article presents the design of the nation standard device neural network, which learns the relationship between the structural parameters of the toroidal core and the field strength under the PyTorch 1.8 deep learning framework. Due to the strong convergence performance, few parameters, and ease of implementation of the grey wolf optimization algorithm, this study selected this algorithm to optimize the structural parameters of the grading ring. Finally, simulation examples are established in Python for validation. The experimental results indicate that the maximum field strength of the grading ring decreased from 12,161.1348 V/cm to 10,009.2881 V/cm, a reduction of 17.69%. The optimized structural parameters of the grading ring effectively reduced the electric field intensity around the 1100 kV DC voltage proportional standard device, providing a reliable and practical design approach for the selection of the DC voltage ratio standard device.

Low Contact Resistance Organic Single-Crystal Transistors with Band-Like Transport Based on 2,6-Bis-Phenylethynyl-Anthracene.

Contact resistance has become one of the main bottlenecks that hinder further improvement of mobility and integration density of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Much progress has been made in reducing contact resistance by modifying the electrode/semiconductor interface and decreasing the crystal thickness, however, the development of new organic semiconductor materials with low contact resistance still faces many challenges. Here, 2,6-bis-phenylethynyl-anthracene (BPEA) is found, which is a material that combines high mobility with low contact resistance. Single-crystal BEPA OFETs with a thickness of ≈20nm demonstrated high mobility of 4.52cm2 V-1 s-1 , contact resistance as low as 335Ωcm, and band-like charge transport behavior. The calculated compatibility of the EHOMO of BPEA with the work function of the Au electrode, and the decreased |EHOMO -ΦAu | with the increase of external electric field intensity from source to gate both contributed to the efficient charge injection and small contact resistance. More intriguingly, p-type BPEA as a buffer layer can effectively reduce the contact resistance, improve the mobility, and meanwhile inhibit the double-slope electrical behavior of p-channel 2,6-diphenyl anthracene (DPA) single-crystal OFETs.

Application and Parameter Optimization of Electro-Kinetic Geosynthetics Electrodes Based on the Wild Horse Optimizer in Horizontal Electric Field Sludge Dewatering

This study systematically compared the performance of five corrosion-resistant electrode materials for electro-dewatering. Through a comprehensive analysis of dewatering efficiency, energy consumption, and corrosion resistance, conductive plastic composite electrodes (EKG) were selected as the optimal electrode material for experimentation. Additionally, the impact of electric field strength and electrode spacing on the efficiency and energy consumption of electro-dewatering (EDW) was investigated. The results showed that the increase in electric field intensity could improve the solid content and dewatering efficiency of the sediments, but the corresponding energy consumption also increased. The increased spacing of the plates reduced the dehydration effect and increased the energy consumption. By employing the Wild Horse Optimization algorithm, empirical and multifactorial response models for the dewatering solidification process were established, aimed at predicting the dewatering performance and energy consumption. The study concludes that for the remediation of heavy metals, the electric field strength should not exceed 10 V/cm to avoid excessive heavy metal migration and potential adverse chemical reactions.

Optimizing intracranial electric field distribution through temperature-driven scalp conductivity adjustments in transcranial electrical stimulation

Transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) is a promising non-invasive neuromodulation technique. How to increase the current intensity entering the skull and reduce scalp shunting has become a key factor significantly influencing regulatory efficacy. In this study, we introduce a novel approach for optimizing TES by adjusting local scalp temperature to modulate scalp conductivity. We have developed simulation models for TES-induced electric fields and for temperature-induced alterations in scalp conductivity. Two common types of stimulation montage (M1-SO and 4 × 1 montage) were adopted for the evaluation of effectiveness. We observed that the modulation of scalp temperature has a significant impact on the distribution of the electric field within the brain during TES. As local scalp temperature decreases, there is an increase in the maximum electric field intensity within the target area, with the maximum change reaching 18.3%, when compared to the electric field distribution observed under normal scalp temperature conditions. Our study provide insights into the practical implementation challenges and future directions for this innovative methodology.

Electrically enhanced adsorption efficiency of aluminum nitride nanotube for sulfate ion removal from water

Herein, the adsorption performance of sulfate ion in water on aluminum nitride nanotube(AlNNT) under the influence of an electric field was investigated using the density functional theory (DFT) calculation method. The model structure stability, adsorption energy, electronic and thermodynamic properties of sulfate ion adsorbed on the surface of AlNNT were studied. The calculation results indicate that sulfate ion reacts with multi-atoms on the surface of AlNNT, forming ionic bonds and undergoing chemical adsorption. As the electric field intensity increases, the adsorption energy and the transfer of electrons from sulfate ion to AlNNT increase, leading to a higher degree of hybridization of atomic orbitals and enhanced multi-atom interactions. Additionally, the thermodynamic data suggests that the adsorption between sulfate ion and AlNNT under electric field can occur spontaneously, the process of which is exothermic. The results of present study are expected to propose a novel method for separation and removal of sulfate pollutants from water.

Regulating and controlling the stepwise ESDPT channel of BP(OH)2DCEt2 using the strategy of solvent polarity and external electric field.

Excited state double proton transfer (ESDPT) has attracted great scientific interest because of its excellent luminescent properties. However, the complex process of ESDPT has plagued theoretical and experimental scientists for a long time and has become a hot issue. In this work, the ESDPT process of 2,2'-bipyridine-3,3'-diol-5,5'-dicarboxylic acid ethyl ester (BP(OH)2DCEt2) is systematically studied and the regulation of the ESDPT process is further realized. The potential energy curves indicate that BP(OH)2DCEt2 shows the characteristics of stepwise ESDPT in different polar solvents. The increase in solvent polarity will be beneficial to the stepwise ESDPT reaction. Regrettably, it is not possible to distinguish the specific stepwise transfer path of the BP(OH)2DCEt2 molecule due to the symmetry of the potential energy surface along the diagonal. On this basis, we proposed a method to control and regulate the stepwise ESDPT path using an external electric field. The results show that the increase of external electric field intensity is favorable to stepwise ESDPT. It is interesting to note that applying an external electric field in a specific direction will effectively distinguish stepwise ESDPT reaction paths. Therefore, this work not only helps to understand the mechanism of ESDPT, but also contributes to regulation and design of new luminescent materials with excellent luminescent properties.

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of the Cu3Sn/Cu Interfacial Diffusion Mechanism under Electrothermal Coupling.

With the increasing power density of electronic devices, solder joints are prone to electromigration under high currents, which results in a significant threat to reliability. In this study, the molecular dynamics method is used to study the diffusion mechanism of the Cu3Sn/Cu interface under the action of electrothermal coupling. The results show that the diffusion activation energy decreases with an increase in electric field intensity, accelerating the diffusion of the Cu3Sn/Cu interface. Furthermore, it is noted that the abrupt change in the vacancy-time curve lags behind that of the mean square displacement curve, which depicts that the responses of the vacancies are driven by the electric field. The vacancy-responsive diffusion mechanism of the Cu3Sn/Cu interface is proposed. The atoms around the interface in the electric field get rid of the shackles of the neighboring atoms easily. The vacancy concentration increases as the atoms leave the equilibrium position, which accelerates the movement of vacancies and enhances the diffusion of the Cu3Sn/Cu interface.

Effect of external electric field on agglomeration characteristics of Cu nanoparticles: A molecular dynamics study

In order to study the effect of electric field on the stability of Cu nanoparticles in water, molecular dynamics method was used to simulate the agglomeration characteristics of Cu nanoparticles. The microscopic agglomeration characteristics of nanoparticles by electric field were analyzed using the distribution and collision of nanoparticles in water at different times, as well as the potential energy, kinetic energy, diffusion coefficient and radial distribution function of the system. The results show that the collision of Cu nanoparticles was inhibited in the presence of both uniform and alternation electric fields. The total potential energy of the system decreases with each collision of particles. When all of the particles are agglomerated, the total potential energy of the system remains constant. According to the radial distribution function, when the electric field intensity increases, the degree of aggregation of water molecules on the particle surface strengthens and then weakens as the electric field strength. Meanwhile, the degree of aggregation decreases with the increasing frequency of the alternating electric field. The effect of electric field frequency on the diffusion coefficient of nanofluid is insignificant. However, as the strength of the electric field increases the diffusion coefficient of the nanofluid decreases, while the resistance coefficient of water molecules increases, and the presence of the electric field inhibits the movement of water molecules. The influence of electric field on the heat transfer and deposition characteristics of nanofluids can be obtained by experiments, but the influence mechanism is difficult to be analyzed by experimental means. The molecular dynamics method also provides a new idea to reveal the influence mechanism of electric field.

Cu doped ZnO nanoparticles: Correlations between tuneable optoelectronic, antioxidant and photocatalytic activities

Microstructural, optical and electronic properties of Cu doped ZnO nanoparticles with a general formula Zn1-xCuxO (x = 0.0, 0.1 and 0.2) prepared via wet chemical co-precipitation method were investigated thoroughly. Both the free radicals scavenging properties and photocatalytic activities of synthesized nanoparticles were explored. Formation of pure hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure of entire samples were identified by recorded x-ray diffraction patterns. For determining both the mean crystallite size and intrinsic microstrain of all the samples, several standard methods were utilized and a comparative study was introduced. Average size, morphology and shape regularity of synthesized samples were examined using HRTEM images. Optical direct band gap estimated from Tauc plots was noted to reduce with increasing Cu concentration in ZnO nanoparticles. Collected FTIR spectra at 300 K also validated the incorporation of Cu ions and their complete dissolution in the host ZnO crystal structure. It is also found that the hopping of electrons is the fundamental charge conduction process for all the samples in presence of ac electric field. FDTD simulation clearly predicts increase in electric field intensity with increased doping of Cu. There could be a plasmonic coupling between particles at the hotspot region that increases the electric field intensities. BET study revealed that the 10 % Cu doped ZnO sample has highest specific surface area which implies it contains more active sites for taking part in rapid photodegradation of toxic dyes compared to other samples. It was observed that the 10 % Cu doped ZnO nanoparticles were more efficient in degrading toxic dyes and the degradation pathway of all the samples obeyed first order rate kinetics model. Based on estimated bandgap of nanoparticles, a possible mechanism for the Rhodamine B (RhB) and Methylene blue (MB) dye degradation is suggested. All the prepared samples also exhibited notable antioxidant properties. Consequently, this study clearly shows that the Cu doped ZnO nanoparticles are the effective nanomaterial for photocatalytic and antioxidant applications.

Atomic scale microparameter analysis of modified natural ester molecules related to impulse discharge characteristics under electric field

Modified natural ester (MNE) has significant potential for application in transformers as an environmentally friendly and renewable energy source. In comparison to natural esters, MNE offers notable advantages in terms of viscosity and power frequency breakdown voltage. However, the lightning impulse breakdown characteristics of MNE and the atomic-scale microscopic mechanisms related to its discharge characteristics remain unclear. Understanding the lightning impulse breakdown characteristics of MNE is crucial for ensuring the safe operation of transformers. In this paper, the density functional theory is used to calculate the change law of the microscopic parameters related to the discharge characteristics of MNE under the electric field under the action of electric field, so as to theoretically evaluate the lightning impulse discharge behavior of MNE. The results reveal that the electronic and geometric structures of MNE molecules are influenced by electric fields, which is the primary factor contributing to the variations in microscopic parameters under different electric field strengths. As the electric field intensity increases, the dipole moment of MNE tends to increase, while the ionization potential and excitation energy of MNE tend to decrease. The decrease of ionization potential, excitation energy and energy gap of MNE molecules is about 6.61%–68.01%, 4.34%–47.66% and 2.01%–69.23%. By comparing the calculated results of mineral oil, natural ester, and MNE microparameters, it can be inferred that the lightning impulse breakdown behavior of MNE is similar to that of natural ester and lightning impulse breakdown voltage of MNE is higher than that of natural ester but still lower than that of mineral oil. The average negative polarity lightning impulse voltages of MNE, natural ester and mineral oil in the 85 mm oil gap are about 245 kV, 199 kV and 304 kV, respectively. The test results confirmed the simulation conclusions. This study provides robust theoretical support for understanding the lightning impulse breakdown characteristics of MNE and ensuring its safe operation in transformers.

SPP excitation and coupling mechanism based onmicro/nano fibers.

A hot trend in the development of optoelectronic devices is how to use the principle of surface plasmon resonance to enhance the performance of integrated photonics devices and achieve miniaturization. This paper proposes an accompanying waveguide coupling structure of micro/nano fibers, which consists of two parallel-placed micro/nano fibers (MNFs) coated with a silver film in the waist region and infused with a refractive index matching oil. In the overlapping region, there exists a segment of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) coupling area. The excitation and coupling characteristics of SPPs are studied through numerical simulation. Optimal coupling enhancement configuration is obtained by studying variables such as spacing distance, coupling length, and metal film thickness. A comparison is made with the SPP intensity of a single MNF, showing a 220% increase in electric field intensity, demonstrating its excellent coupling effect. By using this coupling structure, exploration of SPPs excitation and coupling mechanisms is enhanced, and structures resembling interferometric devices can be designed, providing new insights for high-performance miniaturized devices.

Influence of external electric field on electronic structure and optical properties of β-Ga2O3: a DFT study.

The influence of different electric fields on the electronic structure and optical properties of β-Ga2O3 was studied by GGA+U method. The results show that appropriate electric field intensity can regulate the band gap of β-Ga2O3 more effectively to improve the photoelectric characteristics. The band gap value of intrinsic β-Ga2O3 is 4.865 eV, and decreases from 4.732 to 2.757 eV with the increase of electric field intensity from 0.05 to 0.20 eV Å-1. The length of the O-Ga bond along the electric field increases the fastest with the electric field intensity, and the distance between O and Ga reaches 2.52 Å when the electric field intensity is 0.20 eV Å-1. A new peak appears in the real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function for β-Ga2O3 in the low frequency region under the electric field, and the conductivity increases obviously. The optical absorption peaks induced by the electric field were observed in the wavelength range of 400-600 nm. The optical absorption of β-Ga2O3 is enhanced with an increase of electric field intensity, exhibiting a maximum value with the electric field of 0.15 eV Å-1. The electric field above 0.15 eV Å-1 causes a decrease of optical absorption intensity.

Effects of the Changes of Particle Surface Electric Field and Interaction Force on the Reclaimed Soil Aggregate Structural Stability under the Application of Different Soil Conditioners

Aggregate stability is a key factor in the evaluation of soil structure and erosion resistance, which is largely influenced by soil electric field and particle interaction. However, there are few studies on how different organic and inorganic soil conditioners change the surface electric field and interaction force of reclaimed soil to improve the aggregate stability. Therefore, a five-year field experiment was conducted to quantitatively study the effects of FeSO4 (TM), organic fertilizer (TO), fly ash (TF), maturing agent + organic fertilizer (TMO) and fly ash + organic fertilizer (TFO), compared with control (CK) treatment, on the reclaimed soil internal force and the aggregate crushing strength. The results showed that the reclaimed soil surface potential and electric field intensity increased after 5 years of application of organic and inorganic soil conditioners. Under the same electrolyte concentration and electric field conditions, the crushing strength of aggregates (<5 μm) treated with TFO, TMO, TO, TF and TM decreased by 43.70%, 35.51%, 25.97%, 8.28% and 5.49%, respectively, compared with the control treatment, and the combination of organic and inorganic treatment (TFO and TMO) had a better effect on improving the aggregate crushing resistance. With the application of soil conditioners, the reclaimed soil DLVO force and net resultant force gradually decreased, and the order of magnitude was TFO < TMO < TO < TF < TM < CK, indicating that the application of organic and inorganic soil conditioners enhanced the van der Waals attractive force and net attractive force between reclaimed soil particles, and reduced the net repulsive force between particles. The theoretical calculation results of the reclaimed soil internal force well explain the experimental results of aggregate stability against crushing, and the relationship between aggregate crushing strength and net resultant force is exponential (p < 0.01). Generally speaking, the soil conditioners increase the net attractive force between particles, reduce the possibility of violent crushing of aggregates due to the increase of electric field intensity and improve the aggregate structural stability, among which the combined application of organic and inorganic soil conditioners has a better improvement effect. The results of this study will lay a theoretical foundation for clarifying the improvement of different soil conditioners on the reclaimed soil structural stability and erosion resistance.

Charging Characteristics of Micrometer-Sized Metal Particles and Their Effects on Partial Discharge of Insulating Oil in Flowing

In this study, the motion behavior of micron-sized metal particle swarm in case of flow-electric field coupling is observed in a non-contact manner based on the experiments. According to the results of observation, the charging characteristics of metal particle swarm in insulating oil flow under DC electric field are analyzed in detail, and the effects of electric field intensity, voltage type and oil flow velocity on the charging process and motion of particle swarm are studied. The obtained results show that the applied electric field will cause the streamlines of velocity of the metal particles to oscillate along its direction, where such effect becomes more obvious as the electric field intensity increases. The increase of oil flow velocity can weaken the influence of electric field and make the streamlines of velocity tend to be flat. The oscillation effect of streamlines of velocity under AC electric field is much weaker than that of DC electric field. In addition, based on the measured kinetic parameters of particles, it is found that the charge quantity of the moving particles in the gap of electrodes has the characteristics of temporal and spatial variations, and the particles have a variety of charging modes, including collisional charging, charge transfer, neutralization and accumulation. High velocity of flow and the alternating electric field hinder the charge transfer between particles, resulting in a decrease in the overall charge of the particle swarm. Finally, from the perspective of micro-discharge and electric field distortion, we explain the influence mechanism of flow velocity and voltage type on the discharge characteristics of oil flow containing metal impurities.

Electrical Breakdown Mechanism of ENB-EPDM Cable Insulation Based on Density Functional Theory

The ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) is utilized in high voltage direct current (HVDC) cable accessories due to its exceptional insulation properties. The microscopic reactions and space charge characteristics of EPDM under electric fields are studied using density functional theory. The results indicate that as the electric field intensity increases, the total energy decreases while the dipole moment and polarizability increase, leading to a decrease in the stability of EPDM. The molecular chain elongates under the stretching effect of the electric field and the stability of the geometric structure decreases, resulting in a decline in its mechanical and electrical properties. With increased electric field intensity, the energy gap of the front orbital decreases, and its conductivity improves. Additionally, the active site of the molecular chain reaction shifts, leading to different degrees of hole trap and electron trap energy level distribution in the area where the front track of the molecular chain is located, making EPDM more susceptible to trapping free electrons or injecting charge. When the electric field intensity reaches 0.0255 a.u., the EPDM molecular structure is destroyed, and its infrared spectrum undergoes significant changes. These findings provide a basis for future modification technology, and theoretical support for high voltage experiments.

Preparation of Gd2Zr2O7 nanoceramics by flash sintering and two-step flash sintering

Preparation of Gd2Zr2O7 nanoceramics using a simple and low energy-consuming approach is significant for their wide range of applications. In this work, flash sintering (FS) and two-step flash sintering (TSFS) were first utilized to prepare Gd2Zr2O7 nanoceramics. The effects of electric field intensity and current limit on the densification and grain growth were investigated. The grain size was decreased with the increase of electric field intensity. Meanwhile, both grain size and density were increased with the increase of current limit. The Gd2Zr2O7 nanoceramics with an average grain size of 98 nm and a relative density of 92.8% were prepared by FS. By contrast, the Gd2Zr2O7 nanoceramics with the higher relative densities of 96.3–97.5% and the smaller average grain sizes of 85–90 nm were prepared by TSFS. Compared to FS, TSFS can achieve suppressed grain growth and fast densification. The as-prepared Gd2Zr2O7 nanoceramics showed excellent hardness and fracture toughness. The sample breakage caused by current localization can be avoided by controlling the current ramp after the occurrence of the flash event.

Effects of moderate electric field on the structural properties and aggregation characteristics of soybean protein isolate

The effects of moderate electric field (MEF) at different intensities (4–10 V/cm) on the structural properties and aggregation characteristics of soybean protein isolate (SPI) during ohmic heating (OH) were investigated. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and analysis of surface hydrophobicity and total free sulfhydryl groups showed that MEF treatments at 4 and 6 V/cm facilitated the unfolding of the protein structure, thus exposing more hydrophobic residues and enhancing surface hydrophobicity. Protein aggregation increased with the increase in electric field intensity, as demonstrated by the turbidity and particle size measurements, size exclusion chromatography, and atomic force microscopy. MEF treatments at 8 and 10 V/cm induced the formation of large, soluble aggregates dominated by disulfide bonds and hydrophobic interactions. Rheological analysis showed that the MEF treatments at 4 and 6 V/cm improved the gelation capacity. These results contribute to improving the understanding of the changes in structure and aggregation properties of SPI during MEF treatment and create opportunities to modify protein structure by MEF technology. • The moderate electric field (MEF) changed SPI structure and induced aggregation. • Changes of structure and aggregates were affected by electric field intensity (EFI). • Lower EFI induced SPI unfolding to form smaller and uniformly distributed aggregates. • Higher EFI resulted in larger aggregates and higher degree of protein denaturation.

Terahertz Absorption Characteristics of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube Aqueous Dispersion Measured by Microfluidic Technique

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have excellent electronic, mechanical, and structural characteristics; however, their poor dispersion structure and large aggregates severely inhibit their function. A stable MWCNT dispersion in an aqueous solvent has been realized via ultrasonic dispersion and surfactant modification, providing a reference for improving MWCNT dispersion in various materials and solvents. In this study, a cyclic olefin copolymer with high transmittance to terahertz (THz) waves is used to prepare microfluidic chips. Then, the microfluidic and THz technologies are combined to study the THz absorption characteristics of MWCNT aqueous dispersion under different electric field (EF) intensities, magnetic field (MF) intensities, and MF action time. The results show that the THz spectral intensity of MWCNT aqueous dispersion decreases and the absorption coefficient increases with the increase of EF intensity, MF intensity, and MF action time. This phenomenon is explained from a microscopic perspective. The combination of microfluidic and THz technologies provides technical support for studying the characteristics of MWCNT aqueous dispersion and lays a foundation for elucidating the molecular microstructure of MWCNT aqueous dispersion.

Toluene degradation using plasma-catalytic hybrid system over Mn-TiO2 and Fe-TiO2.

This paper proposed a hybrid system that combined dielectric barrier discharge plasma with catalysis (DPC) for toluene degradation. To improve the performance of DPC, photocatalysts TiO2 were doped by Mn and Fe, respectively. All prepared photocatalysts were characterized using UV-Visual DRS., SEM, XPS, BET, and XRD. The effects of the doping ratio, AC frequency, electric field intensity, gas flow rate, and initial concentration on toluene degradation efficiency, ozone decomposition capacity, and COx selectivity have been investigated. The best doping ratios of Mn and Fe were both 1.0 at%. The increase of electric field intensity in the range of 6.9-10.3kV/cm could favor the synergism for DPC significantly, but the ascending of AC Frequency failed to do that. Fe-DPC showed slightly better performance than Mn-DPC in degradation efficiency and COx selectivity, while Mn-DPC was ahead of Fe-DPC for the ozone decomposition. Mn-DPC and Fe-DPC both could maintain the high toluene degradation efficiency, when gas flow rate and initial concentration increase from 2.5 to10.1cm/s and from 700 to 2300mg/cm3, respectively.
