Combined with dynamic weights, the contrast of characters can be adaptively adjusted under different lighting conditions, solving the problem of character breakage or adhesion caused by uneven lighting in existing technologies. Through the bottom-up calibration path, precise edge information contained in the multi-scale features is fed back to the deep aggregated features, enabling the deep aggregated features to achieve feature aggregation and calibration, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of subsequent detection heads.

A method for catalytically carbonizing polyolefins to produce high quality carbon nanotubes

This invention belongs to the field of polyolefin recycling technology and relates to a method for preparing high-quality carbon nanotubes by catalytic carbonization of polyolefins. In this invention, polyolefins are degraded at high temperature to generate small-molecule hydrocarbons. Subsequently, a Ni-Mo-Al catalyst undergoes a reduction reaction to generate elemental nickel. The elemental nickel catalyzes the degradation products to undergo dehydrogenation, cyclization, and aromatization reactions, followed by carbon deposition on the surface of the elemental nickel, which gradually grows into carbon nanotubes. Furthermore, the Ni-Mo-Al catalyst can reduce the formation of amorphous carbon, thereby increasing the activity of elemental nickel and reducing its ability to dissolve carbon, thus preparing carbon nanotubes with smaller diameters and uniform morphology. This invention has the advantages of inexpensive and readily available carbon sources and a simple preparation method, realizing the upgraded chemical recycling of waste polyolefins and the controllable preparation of carbon nanotubes, effectively solving the problem of reusing urban and industrial waste polyolefins.

The first doped polycrystalline silicon region is in contact with the back metal electrode and is disposed on the surface of a groove. The tunneling oxide layer is relatively thin, and the inward junction depth is greater than that of the second doped polycrystalline silicon region. This effectively prevents electrode metal from penetrating into the junction region, reduces metal recombination current, and improves the battery's open-circuit voltage. Furthermore, the first doped polycrystalline silicon region has a larger contact area with the printing paste, reducing the battery's contact resistance. Simultaneously, the groove prevents the printing paste from widening outward, ensuring a high grid line aspect ratio, reducing grid line resistance, and thus improving the battery's fill factor.
