Proton-electron coupling and mixed conductivity in a hydrogen-bonded coordination polymer by Minju Park, Huiyeong Ju, Joohee Oh, Kwangmin Park, Hyunseob Lim, Seok Min Yoon, Intek Song

“…Abstract The fundamental understanding of coupled proton-electron transport in mixed protonic-electronic conductors (MPECs) remains unexplored in materials science, despite its potential significance within the broader context of mixed ionic-electronic conductors (MIECs) and the possibility of controlled diffusion of protons using hydrogen-bond networks. To address these limitations, we present a hydrogen-bonded coordination polymer Ni-BAND ({[Ni(bpy)(H2O)2(DMF)2](NO3)2·2DMF} n ), which demonstrates high mixed protonic-electronic conductivity at room temperature. …”

Monthly Water Level Prediction Based on ESMD-VMD-ESN Hybrid Model by LI Ang, ZHANG Kun, SANG Yuting, BI Wan

“…Water level sequence contain complex features of multiple frequency information.To improve the prediction accuracy of the water level sequences,a combined model was developed based on Extreme-point Symmetric Mode Decomposition (ESMD),Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) and Echo State Network (ESN),namely ESMD-VMD-ESN.And it was applied to forecast water level of the Taipuzha station in the upper reaches of Taipu River.The predictive effect of the “first decomposition-second decomposition-prediction-reconstruction” model was explored by comparing it with a single model ESN and the combination model ESMD-ESN.The results show that ESMD-VMD-ESN has the highest accuracy,followed by ESMD-ESN,and the lowest ESN accuracy.Compared with the ESN,the Willmott's Index of Agreement (WIA) and Pearson Correlation Coefficient (PCC) of ESMD-ESN respectively increased by 51% and 11%,the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Squard Error (RMSE) of ESMD-ESN respectively decreased by 14% and 45%.ESMD can effectively simplify the water level sequence and reduce the prediction error.Compared with the ESMD-ESN,the WIA and PCC of ESMD-VMD-ESN respectively increased by 5% and 10%,the MAE and RMSE of ESMD-ESN respectively decreased by 52% and 50%.VMD can further simplify the highest frequency component of ESMD and improving the model prediction accuracy.In conclusion,the combined model ESMD-VMD-ESN has well applicability and stability in the monthly water level prediction.…”
