- High performance of a wireless power transfer system is related to the resonance. However, the capacitance drift caused by temperature variation leads to detuning. In this article, a tuning scheme against dual-side capacitance drift using the impedance decoupling algorithm is investigated. First, the impact of the capacitance drift on transmission efficiency and output power are analyzed. Second, it is difficult to compensate for the dual-side capacitance drift quickly since the primary and secondary sides are coupled. Therefore, the impedance decoupling algorithm is introduced. The primary and secondary reactances are decoupled from the total impedance. The two independent reactances are only determined by the capacitance drift of the corresponding side. Then, by adjusting system frequency and the phase-shift angle of the semiactive rectifier, the reactances of both sides can be eliminated, respectively. Compared with the existing tuning methods focusing on total input impedance, the continuous adjustment on two sides is avoided, so the tuning time is significantly reduced. The experimental results prove that the proposed method can improve the system efficiency by 5%-40% and reduce the tuning time by 67% under different capacitance drift.

- The interoperability between the vehicle assembly (VA) and ground assembly (GA) of wireless charging systems has been specified in international standards. SAE J2954 first proposed an interoperability evaluation method based on interface impedance. However, the impedance measurement is challenging at high frequency since the phase difference between the voltage and current is not easy to measure accurately, especially when it is close to 90. Small errors in phase angle measurement are amplified in impedance calculation due to the sine/cosine function. This letter proposes an impedance measurement method using the power decomposition algorithm. By decomposing the input power into two orthogonal components, the impedance angle can be calculated without directly measuring the phase difference between the voltage and current. Thus, the measurement results of the impedance angle do not introduce errors. With the proposal, the high-cost probe or complex high-precision phase difference measurement circuit is not needed. The experimental results show that the conventional methods maximum relative error reaches 80%, making interoperability hard to determine. Reversely, with the proposed method, the relative error of impedance measurement is reduced to less than 10%.

- Passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) as a zero-energy-consumption cooling technique offers rich opportunities in reducing global energy consumption and mitigating CO2 emissions. Developing high-performance PDRC coolers with practical applicability based on sustainable materials is of great significance, but remains a big challenge. Herein, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and esterified cellulose (EC) extracted from sawdust were used as raw materials to construct foams by using a dual-crosslinking assisted-unidirectional freeze-drying strategy followed by hydrophobic surface modification. The resultant PVA/EC (PEC) foams with ideal hierarchical macropore structure displayed various excellent features, such as low thermal conductivity (26.2 mW·m−1·K−1), high solar reflectance (95 %) and infrared emissivity (0.97), superhydrophobicity as well as high mechanical properties. The features allowed the PEC foams to be used as radiative coolers with excellent PDRC performance and thermal insulating materials. A maximum sub-ambient temperature drops of 10.2 °C could be achieved for optimal PEC foams. Building simulations indicated that PEC foams could save 55.8 % of the energy consumption for Xi'an. Our work would give inspiration for designing various types of PDRC coolers, including but certainly not limited to foams-based radiative coolers.

- Centimeter-scale composite biochar-alginate gel beads (MoS2B/CaCO3/Alg) were designed for the adsorption of Pb(II) in water using MoS2 modified biochar as the filler, alginate as the matrix, and CaCO3 as the active additive component. The composite gel beads were characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and other techniques. MoS2B/CaCO3/Alg showed excellent adsorption capacity over a wide range of pH 4–7. The maximum adsorption capacities obtained using the Langmuir model were 769.2, 833.3, and 909.1 mg g−1 at 10, 25 and 40 °C, respectively. At a dosing rate of 0.4 g L−1, MoS2B/CaCO3/Alg was able to reduce the Pb(II) concentration to below 0.05 ppm in complex simulated lead battery wastewater. After 10 repeated cycles, MoS2B/CaCO3/Alg maintained a high removal rate of 98.4 %. This spherical adsorbent is simple to prepare and easy to recover, has an ultra-high adsorption capacity, and is mechanically stable and resistant to interference, thus it is expected to be suitable for application in industrial wastewater treatment.

- How to reduce flow resistance of nano-confined fluids to achieve a high flux is a new challenge for modern chemical engineering applications, such as membrane separation and nanofluidic devices. Traditional models are inapplicable to explain the significant differences in the flow resistance of different liquid–solid systems. On the other hand, friction reduction in liquid nano-lubrication has received considerable attention during the past decades. Both fields are exposed to a common scientific issue regarding friction reduction during liquid–solid relative motion at nanoscale. A promising approach to control the flow resistance of nano-confined fluids is to reference the factors affecting liquid nano-lubrication. In this review, two concepts of the friction coefficient derived from fluid flow and tribology were discussed to reveal their intrinsic relations. Recent progress on low or ultra-low friction coefficients in liquid nano-lubrication was summarized based on two situations. Finally, a new strategy was introduced to study the friction coefficient based on analyzing the intermolecular interactions through an atomic force microscope (AFM), which is a cutting-point to build a new model to study flow-resistance at nanoscale.

- NaCl particles were added into Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and its composites to produce porous PEEK-based materials by washing NaCl away after the high-temperature compression molding process. After that, an ionic liquid was added into the porous materials under vacuum condition. Carbon fibers (CF), as reinforcement, and PTFE, as an internal solid lubricant, were employed to prepare PEEK composites. Tribological properties under dry friction condition were studied on a ring-on-disc tribo-meter. The influence of CF and PTFE on tribological properties was carefully investigated. The results indicated that, in comparison with traditional PEEK composites (CF/PTFE/PEEK), the porous PEEK composites containing ionic liquid showed much better tribological properties. It is found that CF can help PEEK form effective pores to suck in the ionic liquid resulting in a better tribological performance. CF reinforced porous PEEK containing ionic liquid (p-CF/PEEK + IL) demonstrated the lowest friction coefficient (27% of CF/PTFE/PEEK) and the lowest wear loss (only 0.9% of CF/PTFE/PEEK). Long time tribological test revealed that the wear mass loss comes from the running-in period, while its wear is negligible after this period. It is also found that the addition of PTFE has a negative influence on the tribological behaviors, especially under high sliding velocity and applied load

- This paper quantifies the theoretical limit of energy consumption for the removal of 20 representative organic contaminants (9 chlorinated alkyl hydrocarbons, 3 chlorinated alkenes, 3 brominated methanes, 5 aromatic hydrocarbons and their derivatives) in the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) Priority Pollutant List by physical procedures. The general rules of the theoretical limit of energy consumption with different initial concentrations at 298.15 K and 1.01325 × 105 Pa by NRTL, UNIQUAC and Wilson models are obtained from the thermodynamic analysis with our previously established method based on the thermodynamic first and second law. The results show that the waste treatment process needs a high energy consumption and the theoretical limit of energy consumption for organic contaminant removal increases with decreasing initial concentrations in aqueous solutions. The theoretical limit of energy consumption decreases with the more C-H bonds being replaced by C-Cl or C-Br bonds in chlorinated methanes, ethanes, ethenes or brominated methanes except for 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane, and the energy consumption for the removal of chlorinated methanes is higher than that of chlorinated ethanes with the same C-H bonds being replaced by C-Cl bonds. For the removal of chlorinated ethenes, brominated methanes and benzene and its derivatives studied, the energy consumption has corresponding relationship with solubility and the energy consumption is higher for the removal of organics with higher solubility.

- There is a growing demand for the efficient treatment of organic polluted wastewaters by advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) which calls for the determination of the mineralization order of ease for the organic contaminants with oxidants. The mineralization abilities of organic contaminants in AOPs are investigated in this work. Photocatalytic experiments for three representative organic contaminants are carried out, and their corresponding reaction rates are determined experimentally. Meanwhile, molar Gibbs free energy changes Delta(r)G(m)degrees for the reactions of 31 organic contaminants (10 chlorinated hydrocarbons, four brominated hydrocarbons, I I aromatic hydrocarbons and their derivatives, three chloroacetic acid, and three chloroacetyl chloride) with oxidants of (OH)-O-center dot, H2O2, O-center dot(-), O-3, and O-2 are calculated, and the mineralization order of ease is determined theoretically on the basis of Delta(r)G(m)degrees. The agreement of the theoretical and experimental mineralization abilities for most of the organic contaminants investigated implies the reliability of the determination of the mineralization ability from the magnitude of Delta(r)G(m)degrees for the mineralization of trace organic contaminants. Results also show that for most of the organic contaminants studied, the mineralization abilities are (OH)-O-center dot > H2O2 > O-center dot(-) > O-3 > O-2, and the mineralization ability of the organic contaminants depends on not only the oxidants but also the structure and properties of the organic contaminants themselves, and the degradation reaction products.

- This paper is to investigate the degradation abilities of various chlorinated aliphatics, benzene and its derivatives in order to treat organic polluted wastewaters efficiently by advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). A thermodynamic method is proposed to calculate the standard molar Gibbs energy of formation for aqueous organic species. Using the method proposed, the standard molar Gibbs energies of formation for 31 aqueous organic species are obtained. Moreover, the molar Gibbs energy change of reaction Δr Gm0 for the organic species with hydroxyl radicals is calculated from the standard molar Gibbs energy of formation for aqueous organic species to determine the degradation order of ease for the organic species. New photocatalytic experiments are carried out for the model verification. The calculation results of the model agree with the available and new experimental results. This work shows that the thermodynamics of the degradation reaction for the organic pollutants in AOPs can find the corresponding relationships with the degradation reaction rate by experimental measurements. The work in this paper represents a success of thermodynamics for the application in environmental area.
