A review on pollution situation and treatment methods of tetracycline in groundwater

Emerging two-dimensional narrow band gap materials with tunable band gaps and unique electrical and optical properties have shown tremendous potential in broadband photodetection. Nevertheless, large dark currents severely hinder the performance of photodetectors. Here, a MoS2/Ta2NiSe5 van der Waals heterostructure device was successfully fabricated with a high rectification ratio of ∼104 and an ultralow reverse bias current of the pA level. Excitingly, the charge transfer and the generation of the built-in electric field of heterostructures have been proved by theory and experiment, which effectively suppress dark currents. The dark current of the heterostructure reduces by nearly 104 compared with the pure Ta2NiSe5 photodetector at Vds = 1 V. The MoS2/Ta2NiSe5 device exhibits excellent photoelectric performance with the maximum responsivity of 515.6 A W-1 and 0.7 A W-1 at the wavelengths of 532 and 1064 nm under forward bias, respectively. In addition, the specific detectivity is up to 3.1 × 1013 Jones (532 nm) and 2.4 × 109 Jones (1064 nm). Significantly, the device presents an ultra-high gain of 6 × 107 and an exceptional external quantum efficiency of 1.2 × 105% under 532 nm laser irradiation. The results reveal that the MoS2/Ta2NiSe5 heterostructure provides an essential platform for the development and application of high-performance broadband optoelectronic devices.

High-Gain MoS2/Ta2NiSe5 Heterojunction Photodetectors with Charge Transfer and Suppressing Dark Current.

The shear capacity was evaluated for specimens connected by beech dowels and composite dowels. The bearing capacities were calculated by the shear capacity formulas of metal dowel connectors in the GB 50005 (2017), NDS (2018), and EN 1995-1-1 (2014) standards. The results showed that, except for the specimen connected by one composite dowel calculated by the GB 50005 standard (2017), the remaining calculation differences were larger. Based on the failure mode, the force analysis of the beech dowels and the composite dowels was carried out. A calculation formula for the shear bearing capacity of the beech dowels and the composite dowels was proposed. The calculated results were in strong agreement with the test results, and the margins of difference were less than 10%. Furthermore, the formulas for two and four connectors were investigated. When the number of effective connectors was calculated by the GB 50005 standard (2017), the differences between the test values and the calculated values were less than 9.36%.

Analytical investigation into the single shear performance of a joint with a new beech and self-tapping screw composite dowel

Cross-laminated timber (CLT), a wood product with excellent shear resistance, is often used in modern timber constructions. Using the standards ASTM D1761-12 (2020) and NDS-2012 (2012), this study investigated the connection properties of shear bolts and screws in CLT panels. The specimens were made from spruce-pine-fir lumber and installed on a test platform using one high-strength bolt or eight screws, and then an upward load was applied to the top of the specimen. The results showed that the bolt connection provided a higher ultimate bearing capacity and elastic stiffness. The bolt exhibited virtually no deformation, and the CLT panel did not noticeably deteriorate when the connection was damaged. The distance between the bolt hole and the bottom of the CLT specimen and the angle between the outer-layer grain direction of the CLT panel and the load direction were both measured. Changes in the ductility coefficient value had an obvious effect on the connection performance of the shear bolts when the outer-layer grain direction of the CLT panel was consistent with the load direction. Contrastingly, when the outer-layer grain direction of the CLT panel was perpendicular to the load direction, the effect was negligible, and the yield load was nearly unchanged.
