Ultrathin Mos2 Nanosheets

Owing to their peculiar structural characteristics and potential applications in various fields, the ultrathin MoS2 nanosheets, a typical two-dimensional material, have attracted numerous attentions. In this paper, a hybrid strategy with combination of quenching process and liquid-based exfoliation was employed to fabricate the ultrathin MoS2 nanosheets (MoS2 NS). The obtained MoS2 NS still maintained hexagonal phase (2H-MoS2) and exhibited evident thin layer-structure (1–2 layers) with inconspicuous wrinkle. Besides, the MoS2 NS dispersion showed excellent stability (over 60 days) and high concentration (0.65 ± 0.04 mg mL−1). The MoS2 NS dispersion also displayed evident optical properties, with two characteristic peaks at 615 and 670 nm, and could be quantitatively analyzed with the absorbance at 615 nm in the range of 0.01–0.5 mg mL−1. The adsorption experiments showed that the as-prepared MoS2 NS also exhibited remarkable adsorption performance on the dyes (344.8 and 123.5 mg g−1 of qm for methylene blue and methyl orange, respectively) and heavy metals (185.2, 169.5, and 70.4 mg g−1 of qm for Cd2+, Cu2+, and Ag+). During the adsorption, the main adsorption mechanisms involved the synergism of physical hole-filling effects and electrostatic interactions. This work provided an effective way for the large-scale fabrication of the two-dimensional nanosheets of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) by liquid exfoliation.

An experimental study of the developing structural characteristics of a two-dimensional jet in an extremely quiet environment was performed. The jet, at an exit Reynolds number of 6000 and with fluctuation intensity under 0.2% at the mouth, was operated within a large anechoic room. Measurements of energy spectra, fluctuation phase angles and two-dimensionality led to the inference of structural patterns in the flow. These patterns are initially characterized by relatively strong symmetric modes exhibiting limited two-dimensionality and oriented parallel to the mouth of the jet. Subsequent downstream evolution led to the formation of an antisymmetric pattern beyond the jet potential core and the associated development of extended structures possessing a definite large lateral inclination. The results of this work suggest a developing large-scale structural pattern more complicated than previously supposed.

Abstract In an artificial island construction project based on the large-scale marine reclamation land, the soil settlement is a key to affect the late safe operation of the whole field. To analyze the factors of the soil settlement in a marine reclamation project, the SEM method in the soil micro-structural analysis method is used to test and study six soil samples such as the representative silt, mucky silty clay, silty clay and clay in the area. The structural characteristics that affect the soil settlement are obtained by observing the SEM charts at different depths. By combining numerical calculation method of Terzaghi’s one-dimensional and Biot’s two-dimensional consolidation theory, the one-dimensional and two-dimensional creep models are established and the numerical calculation results of two consolidation theories are compared in order to predict the maximum settlement of the soils 100 years after completion. The analysis results indicate that the micro-structural characteristics are the essential factor to affect the settlement in this area. Based on numerical analysis of one-dimensional and two-dimensional settlement, the settlement law and trend obtained by two numerical analysis method is similar. The analysis of this paper can provide reference and guidance to the project related to the marine reclamation land.

Abstract The structural characteristics and basic design requirements of design of switched reluctance linear generator are introduced. According to the general principles and design experience of electromechanical design, the dimension of design of switched reluctance linear generator is determined, and the two-dimensional and three-dimensional static finite element models of design of switched reluctance linear generator are established in Flux 2D and Flux 3D respectively. By comparing the simulation results of the two-dimensional model and the three-dimensional model, it is found that the difference between the real simulation results of the 2D model and the 3D model is small, and the calculation time cost of the 2D finite element simulation is much lower than that of the 3D model. Therefore, the subsequent work of this paper adopts the 2D finite element model. Finally, the static electromagnetic field and electromagnetic characteristics of the design of switched reluctance linear generator are analyzed by finite element analysis.

We developed an essentially two-dimensional planar benchtop model of an untethered collapsed airway to investigate the influence of fluid properties (viscosity, μ and surface tension, γ) and the structural characteristics (effective diameter, D, longitudinal tension, T, and fluid film thickness, H) on airway reopening. This simplified model was used to quantify the relationship between wall deformation and meniscus curvature during reopening. We measured the pressure (P) required to move the meniscus at a constant velocity (U), and found the dimensionless post-startup pressure (PD/γ) increased monotonically with the capillary number (Ca = μU/γ). Startup pressures depend on the fluid viscosity and piston acceleration, and may significantly increase reopening pressures. Consistently stable steady-state pressures existed when Ca > 0.5. D was the most dominant structural characteristic, which caused an increase in the post-startup pressure (P) for a decrease in D. An increase in H caused a slight decrease in the reopening pressure, but a spatial variation in H resulted in only a transient increase in pressure. T did not significantly affect the reopening pressure. From our planar two-dimensional experiments an effective yield pressure of 3.69 γ/D was extrapolated from the steady-state pressures. Based on these results, we predicted airway pressures and reopening times for axisymmetrically collapsed airways under various disease states. These predictions indicate that increasing surface tension (as occurs in Respiratory Distress Syndrome) increases the yield pressure necessary to reopen the airways, and increasing viscosity (as in cystic fibrosis) increases the time to reopen once the yield pressure has been exceeded.
