In order to investigate the performances of repetition rate (rep-rate) operation of an improved magnetically insulated transmission line oscillator (MILO), a series of experiments are carried out on the improved MILO device, which is driven by 4 40 Omega, 50 ns rep-rate pulser, TORCH-01. Polymer velvet and graphite cathodes are tested, respectively, in the experiments, whose diameters and lengths are the same. The results of experimental comparison between them are presented in the paper. Both cathodes are tested at electric field strengths of about 300 kV/cm. The applied voltage has 60 ns duration with a rise time of 10 ns. This paper focuses on the performance of the voltage and current characteristics, the shot-to-shot reproducibility, the pressure evolution of the diode, and the lifetime of the cathodes, not upon the radiated microwave power. The experimental results show that the graphite cathode is superior to the velvet cathode in the lifetime and the shot-to-shot reproducibility during the rep-rate operation, and it is a promising cathode for the MILO device under the rep-rate conditions.

Yang Yang, Zhangfeng Shen, Hanwu Yang, Xuhui Zou, Yuxiao Meng, Lingchang Jiang, Yanan Liu, Qineng Xia, Yongyong Cao, Xi Li, Jing Gao, Yangang Wang

Summary: A bifunctional material, consisting of Pd-Cu alloy nanocrystals on carbon oxygen co-doped BN, was fabricated to capture and photocatalytically reduce CO2. The CO2 was adsorbed in the form of bicarbonate on the surface of elemental doped BN, and the CO2 molecules were converted to CO at the interfaces of BN and Pd-Cu alloys. The uniform distribution of smaller Pd-Cu nanocrystals on BN created more effective interfaces and led to a higher CO production rate.
