The Fusion Model of Multidomain Context Information for the Internet of Things

The Internet of Things aims to provide the user with deep adaptive intelligence services according to the user’s personalized characteristics. Most of the characteristics are presented in the form of high-level context. But it often lacks methods to obtain high-level context information directly in the Internet of Things. In this paper, so as to achieve the corresponding high-level context information using the specific low-level multidomain context directly obtained by different sensors in the Internet of Things, we present a machine learning method to construct a context fusion model based on the feature selection algorithm and the multiclassification algorithm. First, we propose a wrapper feature selection method based on the genetic algorithm to obtain a simpler and more important subset of the context features from the low-level multidomain context, by defining a suitable fitness function and a convergence condition. Then, we use the decision tree algorithm which is a multiclassification algorithm, based on the rules obtained by training the subset of context features, to determine which high-level context the record set of the low-level context information belongs to. Experiments confirm that the model can be used to achieve higher classification accuracy without more significant time consumption

光催化剂的晶体结构、电子结构、表面结构等都会对自身性质产生决定性的作用,因此认识和理解光催化材料自身结构和光催化性能之间的内在联系有助于设计合成更高效的光催化剂以及光催化复合体系.本文通过聚合络合法和溶胶凝胶水热法分别制备了镧和铬共掺杂的SrTiO3光催化剂,标记为SrTiO3(La,Cr)-PCM和SrTiO3(La,Cr)-SHM.在碘化钠或甲醇作为牺牲试剂的产氢反应中,担载Pt的SrTiO3(La,Cr)-SHM样品显示了光催化活性,而担载Pt的SrTiO3(La,Cr)-PCM样品活性很低,甚至无活性.我们将这两种材料分别作为产氢光催化剂与三氧化钨耦合构建Z机制全分解水体系.研究发现,只有Pt/SrTiO3(La,Cr)-SHM?I?/IO3??PtOx/WO3体系观察到了氢气和氧气的产生.在第一个10h的循环反应中,产生的H2/O2摩尔比为3.7,明显高于水分解H2/O2为2的化学计量比.这是因为在反应起始时加入的是NaI,质子还原产氢反应占据了主导.随着氢气的不断产生,部分I-被氧化成了IO3?,而IO3?的存在就可以驱动氧气的产生,由于溶液中I?/IO3?氧化还原电的共存就可以持续驱动氢气和氧气的同时生成.为了测试体系的稳定性,我们将前面产生的气体完全抽空后又进行第二次10h的循环反应,总共进行三次循环反应.在第一次循环过程中氢气、氧气生成速率分别为9.1和2.4?molh–1,第二次循环其速率分别为9.9和3.7?molh–1,第三次循环速率分别达到10.4和4.9?molh–1.此外,通过三次循环后H2/O2摩尔比为2.1,接近水分解的化学计量比.结合紫外可见漫反射光谱和Mott-Schottky曲线可以确定两种样品的能带位置.从能带位置示意图可知,两种样品都具有足够负的导带电势还原质子产氢以及足够正的价带电势氧化水产氧.需要指出的是,SrTiO3(La,Cr)-SHM样品的导带电势比SrTiO3(La,Cr)-PCM样品的导带电势更负,这意味着前者的导带电势更有利于还原质子产氢.霍尔效应测试的结果表明,两种样品均显示出n型半导体的特征,此外SrTiO3(La,Cr)-SHM样品显示出比SrTiO3(La,Cr)-PCM样品更快的载流子迁移率以及更高的载流子浓度.因此,两种样品不同的导带位置以及不同的载流子迁移率和载流子浓度很可能是造成两者光催化性能具有显著差异的主要原因

A Novel Sr_2CuInO_3S p-type semiconductor photocatalyst for hydrogen production under visible light irradiation

A novel Sr 2 CuInO 3 S oxysulfide p-type semiconductor photocatalyst has been prepared by solid state reaction method and it exhibits intriguing visible light absorption properties with a bandgap of 2.3 eV. The p-type semiconductor character of the synthesized Sr 2 CuInO 3 S was confirmed by Hall efficient measurement and Mott-Schottky plot analysis. First-principles density functional theory calculations (DFT) and electrochemical measurements were performed to elucidate the electronic structure and the energy band locations. It was found that the as-synthesized Sr 2 CuInO 3 S photocatalyst has appreciate conduction and valence band positions for hydrogen and oxygen evolution, respectively. Photocatalytic hydrogen production experiments under a visible light irradiation (λ>420 nm) were carried out by loading different metal and metal-like cocatalysts on Sr 2 CuInO 3 S and Rh was found to be the best one among the tested ones

p-Type CaFe2O4 semiconductor nanorods controllably synthesized by molten salt method

Pure phase, regular shape and well crystallized nanorods of p-type semiconductor CaFe2O4 have been fabricated for the first time by a facile molten salt assisted method, as confirmed by XRD, TEM, SEM and HRTEM. UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra and Mott-Schottky plots show that the band structure of the CaFe2O4 nanorods is narrower than that of the CaFe2O4 nanoparticles synthesized by conventional method. The enhancement of the visible-light absorption is due to narrowness of the band gap in CaFe2O4 nanorods. The appropriate ratio between the molten salt and the CaFe2O4 precursors plays an important role in inhibiting the growth of the crystals along the (201) plane to give the desired nanorod morphology. This work not only demonstrates that highly pure p-type CaFe2O4 semiconductor with tunable band structure and morphology could be obtained using the molten salt strategy, but also affirms that the bandgap of a semiconductor may be tunable by monitoring the growth of a particular crystal plane. Furthermore, the facile eutectic molten salt method developed in this work may be further extended to fabricate some other semiconductor nanomaterials with a diversity of morphologies.

Efficient Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution on Band Structure Tuned Polytriazine/Heptazine Based Carbon Nitride Heterojunctions with Ordered Needle-like Morphology Achieved by an In Situ Molten Salt Method

Polymeric carbon nitride (CN) is a fascinating metal-free photocatalyst for active solar energy conversion via water splitting. However, the photocatalytic activity of CN is significantly restricted by the intrinsic drawbacks of fast charge recombination because of incomplete polymerization. Herein, an in situ ionothermal molten salt strategy has been developed to construct polytriazine/heptazine based CN isotype heterojunctions from low cost and earth-abundant urea as the single-source precursor, with the purpose of greatly promoting the charge transfer and separation. The engineering of crystallinity and phase structure of CN has been attempted through facile tailoring of the condensation conditions in a molten salt medium. Increasing the synthetic temperature and eutectic salts/urea molar ratio leads to the formation of CN from bulk heptazine phase to crystalline polytriazine imide (PTI) phase, while CN isotype heterojunctions are in situ created at moderate synthetic temperature and salt amount. As evidenced by the measurements of UV–vis DRS and Mott–Schottky plots, the conduction band potentials can be tuned in a wide range from −1.51 to −0.96 V by controlling the synthetic temperature and salt amount, and the apparent band gap energies are reduced accordingly. The difference in band positions between PTI and heptazine phase CN enables the formation of CN heterojunctions, greatly promoting the separation of charge carriers. These metal-free CN heterojunctions demonstrate a well ordered needle-like morphology, and the optimal sample yields a remarkable hydrogen evolution rate (4813.2 μmol h^–1 g^–1), improved by a factor of 12 over that of bulk heptazine-based CN and a factor of 4 over that of PTI. The enhanced photocatalytic performance can be directly ascribed to the synergistic effect of the improved crystallinity with reduced structural defects, the decreased band gap energy with tunable band positions, and the efficient separation of charge carriers induced by the formation of heterostructures
