摘要：Photocatalysis is believed to be one of the best methods to realize sustainable H2 production. However, achieving this through heterogeneous photocatalysis still remains a great challenge owing to the absence of active sites, sluggish surface reaction kinetics, insufficient charge separation, and a high thermodynamic barrier. Therefore, cocatalysts are necessary and of great significance in boosting photocatalytic H2 generation. This review will focus on the promising and appealing low-cost Ni-based H2-generation cocatalysts as the alternatives for the high-cost and low-abundance noble metal cocatalysts. Special emphasis has been placed on the design principle, modification strategies for further enhancing the activity and stability of Ni-based cocatalysts, and identification of the exact active sites and surface reaction mechanisms. Particularly, four types of modification strategies based on increased light harvesting, enhanced charge separation, strengthened interface interaction, and improved electrocatalytic activity have been thoroughly discussed and compared in detail. This review may open a new avenue for designing highly active and durable Ni-based cocatalysts for photocatalytic H2 generation.

摘要：An accurate measurement of the refractive index is necessary for the optical design of both deep ultraviolet laser diodes and light-emitting diodes. Generally, the refractive indices along different crystallographic axes of anisotropic thin films are measured using variable angle spectroscopic ***, there are still some limitations concerning this method. Here we proposed a potential method to measure the band edge refractive index of wide bandgap semiconductor. An aperiodic oscillation emission phenomenon due to the Fabry-Perot effect was observed in the fluorescence spectrum of an AlN film with a thickness of 1500 nm. Based on the characteristics of the fluorescence spectrum and the definition of Fabry-Perot effect, we obtained the ordinary refractive index of the AlN thin film near the band edge directly. This refractive index measurement method is a supplement to the variable angle ellipsometry,and it is a more direct and effective method for transferred film and thinner samples to measure the fluorescence spectrum.

摘要：Objective Motor control is encoded by neuronal activity. Small conductance Ca2＋-activated K＋ channels （SK channels） maintain the regularity and precision of firing by contributing to the afterhyperpolarization （AHP） of the action potential in mammals. However, it is not clear how SK channels regulate the output of the vocal motor system in songbirds. The premotor robust nucleus of the arcopallium （RA） in the zebra finch is responsible for the output of song information. The temporal pattern of spike bursts in RA projection neurons is associated with the timing of the acoustic features of birdsong. Methods The firing properties of RA projection neurons were analyzed using patch clamp whole-cell and cell-attached recording techniques. Results SK channel blockade by apamin decreased the AHP amplitude and increased the evoked firing rate in RA projection neurons. It also caused reductions in the regularity and precision of firing. RA projection neurons displayed regular spontaneous action potentials, while apamin caused irregular spontaneous firing but had no effect on the firing rate. In the absence of synaptic inputs, RA projection neurons still had spontaneous firing, and apamin had an evident effect on the firing rate, but caused no significant change in the firing regularity, compared with apamin application in the presence of synaptic inputs. Conclusion SK channels contribute to the maintenance of firing regularity in RA projection neurons which requires synaptic activity, and consequently ensures the precision of song encoding.

摘要：This paper mainly studies on the biaxial tensile strength and its calculative formula of a special made concrete. According to the Hill theory and the uniaxial tensile experiment results, the expression of the concrete biaxial tensile strength is deduced, which is then combined with experiment data and checked. The result shows： the biaxial tensile strength of this kind of concrete is about 15%-30% lower than its uniaxial tensile strength, and the calculative value is basically consistent with the experiment value, with less than 11% difference. This kind of biaxial tension weakening effect is very important to the structure designs of concrete road. The author suggests further research.
