  • Patent number: 11969716
    Abstract: This application discloses a silicon carbide (SiC)-loaded graphene photocatalyst for hydrogen production under visible light irradiation and a preparation method thereof. Pure SiC and pure black carbon are respectively prepared and mixed to obtain a mixture with a resistance less than 100?. Then the mixture was vacuumized and processed with a current pulse with an increasing voltage until a breakdown occurs, and subjected to ultrasonic stirring, centrifugal washing and vacuum drying in turn to obtain the SiC-loaded graphene photocatalyst. By means of the current pulse, a heterojunction is formed between SiC and graphene to improve the catalytic activity of the photocatalyst; and the photocatalytic hydrogen production rate of SiC nanoparticles can be enhanced after loaded on the graphene.

  • Publication number: 20120213642
    Abstract: A segmented wind rotor blade for a wind turbine generator system and the assembling method thereof are disclosed. The segmented wind rotor blade includes a blade root section adjacent to a hub and at least one radial blade. Main girders are embedded inside both the blade root section and the radial blades. The blade root section and each radial blade are connected end to end through the main girders connecting one by one. The effects of great connection intensity and less aerodynamic loss can be realized by the segmented wind rotor blade.
