Study of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells by Scanning Electron Micrograph Observation and Thickness Optimization of Porous TiO2 Electrodes by Seigo Ito, Mohammad K. Nazeeruddin, Shaik M. Zakeeruddin, Peter Péchy, Pascal Comte, Michael Grätzel, Takaki Mizuno, Atsushi Tanaka, Tsuguo Koyanagi

“…We found interesting surface and cross-sectional structures in the scattering layer containing the 400 nm diameter particles, which have an angular and horned shape. The influence of TiO2 particle size and the thickness of the nanocrystalline-TiO2 electrode in DSCs using four kinds of sensitizing dyes (D149, K19, N719 and Z907) and two kinds of electrolytes (acetonitrile-based and ionic-liquid electrolytes) are discussed in regards to conversion efficiency, which this paper aims to optimize.…”

Influence of Capsule Content on the Structure and Mechanical Properties of Epoxy Resin Coating by HUANG Bing-li, MA Yong-quan

“…In order to improve the mechanical properties of building anti-corrosion epoxy resin coating, the self-repairing building anti-corrosive coating was prepared by adding capsule into epoxy resin.Besides, the change of mechanical properties of the coating caused by the capsule were studied and the self-repairing effect of the coating was tested.Results showed that no cracks were generated in the coating, and the dense tissue was obtained.The capsule kept intact shape and structure in the coating, and no damage or bonding occurred.When the capsule content was increased, the hardness of the coating remains basically constant, and the impact strength and tensile strength of the coating first increased and then decreased.When 4% capsule was added, the impact strength and elongation strength of the coating were increased by about 18.0% and 13.9%, respectively, which significantly improved the repair speed of the cracks, and could play a more efficient repair role on the cracks of the coating.Therefore, a coating with higher restorative capability was generated when the adding amount of capsules was increased.The comprehensive analysis showed that the coating was best when the capsule proportion in the coating was 4%.…”

Excavation Deformation Analysis of Foundation Pits and Its Influence on Surrounding Buildings by CHENG Xinyu, FU Chenghua, LIU Jian, JIANG Linjie

“…With the efficient use of urban space,the construction of new foundation pit projects is becoming more and more difficult,and the research on the excavation deformation of foundation pits and its impact on surrounding buildings is becoming more important.Taking a deep foundation pit project as an example,this study uses a three-dimensional finite element model to numerically simulate the actual excavation process.Moreover,the deformation characteristic of foundation pits and its influence on the surrounding buildings are comprehensively analyzed with the measured deformation data.The results reveal that during the excavation of a new foundation pit,the overall lateral displacement of the retaining structure toward the inside of the foundation pit occurs,and the maximum displacement occurs in the middle of the foundation pit retaining piles adjacent to the side of the buildings.The settlement of soil around and at the bottom of the foundation pit is “groove-shaped”,namely that when the excavation goes deeper,the settlement is greater.The excavation of the new foundation pit leads to the different uniform settlement of surrounding buildings,but with the construction of the retaining structure,the deformation of buildings decreases gradually and tends to be stable.The research results can provide some theoretical reference for the design and construction of similar deep foundation pit projects.…”
