This work investigates the stability and power dynamics of a beam in a two-dimensional parity-time (PT)-symmetric cubic nonlinear sinusoidal coupled system under varying imaginary potentials. By analyzing eigenvalues, the phase angle indicating the mode synchronization, eigenfunctions, phase evolution, Poynting vector, and power exchange between coupled channels, we identify stability thresholds and characterize the soliton behavior in both PT-symmetric and broken PT-symmetric phases. Below the threshold potential, solitons remain stable, exhibiting periodic power oscillations and symmetric waveforms. Above the threshold, instabilities emerge, leading to asymmetric eigenfunctions, irregular amplitude fluctuations, and distorted power transfer. The transition is marked by a shift from smooth Gaussian-like waveforms to asymmetric, irregular profiles. The oscillation frequency, which dictates the energy transfer between channels, reflects the influence of the gain/loss balance on soliton dynamics. Our findings highlight the crucial role of nonlinearity, coupling strength, and imaginary potential in dictating soliton stability, providing insights into optical beam propagation and nonlinear wave control in PT-symmetric systems.

Narrow electrochemical windows and high reactivity of aqueous solutions remain critical bottlenecks for the practical application of aqueous batteries. However, the mechanisms for tuning microscopic reactivity of HO molecules in aqueous electrolytes remain elusive. This study employs six ether molecules with distinct structures and solvation powers to regulate the microstructure of aqueous solutions.

With the increasing demand for wind energy in the electric power generation industry, optimizing robust and efficient control strategies is essential for a wind energy conversion system (WECS). In this regard, this study proposes a novel hybrid control strategy for wind power systems directly coupled to a permanent-magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). The contribution of this work is to propose a control strategy design based on a combination of the nonlinear Backstepping approach for system stabilization according to Lyapunov theory and the application of artificial neural network to maximize energy harvesting regardless of wind speed fluctuations.

Core-shell electrodes provide a potential and innovative approach for significantly enhancing the performance and capacity of supercapacitors (SCs) by combining two distinct materials. The capabilities of these advanced electrodes surpass those of conventional single electrodes. Specifically, these exhibit better energy storage, higher power density, and improved overall performance.

Hybrid artificial layer based on inorganic/polymer composite endows superior toughness and mechanical strength, which can achieve high stability of lithium metal anode. However, the large particle size and uneven distribution of inorganic fillers hinder the uniform flow of lithium ions across the membrane, making it difficult to achieve smooth lithium metal deposition/stripping. In this work, a chemical lithiation-induced defluorination strategy is proposed to engineer poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF)-based artificial layers, enabling in situ incorporation of highly dispersed LiF nanofiller within the polymer matrix and precise control over the LiF content.
