The commercial application of high-safety aqueous zinc (Zn) secondary batteries is hindered by the poor cycling life of Zn metal anodes. Here we propose a dendrite growth and hydrogen evolution corrosion reaction mechanism from the binding energy of the deposited crystal plane on the Zn surface and the adsorption energy of H2O molecules on different crystal planes as well as the binding energy of H2O molecules with Zn2+ions. The biomass-based alkyl polyglucoside (APG) surfactant is adopted as an electrolyte additive of 0.15% to regulate the preferential growth of a parallel Zn(002) plane and enhance the anticorrosion ability of Zn metal anodes. The robust binding and adsorption energies of APG with Zn2+ions in the aqueous electrolyte and the Zn(002) plane on Zn surface generate a synergistic effect to increase the concentration of Zn2+ions on the APG-adsorbed Zn(002) plane, endowing the continuous growth of the preferential parallel Zn(002) plane and the excellent anticorrosion capacity. Accordingly, the long-term cycle stability of 4000 h can be achieved for Zn anodes with APG additives, which is better than that with pure ZnSO4electrolyte. With the addition of APG in the anolyte electrolyte, Zn-I2full cells display excellent cycling performance (70 mAh g–1after 20000 cycles) as compared with that without APG additives.

Greenhouse temperature control is a key factor which affects crop growth, and the traditional way of temperature regulation already cannot satisfy the requirements of modern greenhouse: high precision, rapid acquisition and response. The 32-bit EasyARM1138 single chip microcomputer is taken as the main control chip to implement multiple canopy temperature acquisition and control. AT89C52 single chip microcomputer is applied as assisted control chip to implement single greenhouse temperature control. DS18B20 digital temperature sensor is used to collect temperature information in the greenhouse. Through buttons, LCD monitor, GPRS SMS alarm module, and light alarm system with LED and buzzer sound to realize human-computer interaction. Through analyzing of the present condition of greenhouse environment, greenhouse temperature parameters are adjusted to achieve the requirements of crops growth and cultivation development to provide the most suitable temperature environment for crop growth, and increase crop yield and quality.
