In this paper, a novel process for synergistic carbon in situ capture and the utilization of blast furnace gas is proposed to produce CO via chemical looping. Through thermodynamic analysis, this process was studied in terms of the carbon fixation rate, CO yield, in situ CO2 utilization rate, CH4 conversion rate and energy consumption. It provides valuable insights for achieving efficient CO2 capture and in situ conversion. FeO and CaO are used as the oxygen carrier and the carbon carrier, respectively. Under the conditions of reaction temperature of 400 °C, pressure of 1 bar and FeO/CO ratio of 1, the carbon capture rate of blast furnace gas can reach more than 99%. In the carbon release reactor, the CO yield is lower than that in the original blast furnace gas (BFG) if no reduction gas is involved. Therefore, methane is introduced as a reducing gas to increase CO yield. When the reaction temperature is increased to 1000 °C, the pressure level is reduced to 0.01 bar and the CH4/C ratio is 1:1 (methane to carbon), the CO yield is four times that of the initial blast furnace gas. Under the optimal conditions, the energy consumption of the system is 0.2 MJ/kg, which is much lower than that of the traditional process. This paper verifies the feasibility of the new process from the perspective of thermodynamics.
Optimizing the driving panel of display to decrease the number of driving lines is of importance to high-resolution displays. Especially, it is important to address the challenge of the increasing number of row and column electrode lines. In this work, an approach for realizing the one line-to-three LEDs driving method employing the noncarrier injection (NCI) operational mode has been demonstrated, and the NCI-LEDs using discrete components are constructed. The operating characteristics and principles of the NCI-LEDs are studied. It is demonstrated that electroluminescent (EL) output states of three parallel NCI-LEDs vary with driving frequency, that is, the NCI-LEDs has frequency-selective properties. Therefore, the separate control of three LEDs under the control of a single signal line is realized, and the subpixel circuit selection of three RGB colors is realized. This driving method can effectively mitigate the complexity of the electrode wiring required by the row–column scanning, which is expected to provide important guidance for the development of high-resolution displays.

Realizing full color GaN-based micro- and nano-light-emitting diode (nLED) displays with quantum dots (QDs) being the color conversion media remains challenging because of the limited QD color conversion efficiency (CCE). In this article, by using GaN-based nanorod LED as the light source and exciting the QDs by nonradiative energy transfer (NRET) method, a nanorod LED with ultrahigh CCE has been realized. At the same time, a single electrical contact alternating current (ac)-driven electroluminescence (EL) method is adopted to investigate the relationship between frequency and nLED performance. Different from the double terminal injection mode, on the premise of lighting up the nanorod LED, the ac-driven can also avoid the necessity of external p-type and n-type electrodes, thus simplified the manufacturing process of LED. The final optical measurement shows that the CCE of this hybrid color conversion nLED driven by single contact electrode can reach up to 86.67% under the ac voltage of 60 V and an ac frequency of 14.2 MHz, which shows that the energy utilization efficiency can be effectively improved by NRET.
