AIT 內湖新館面試行政審查程序(Administrative Processing, AP, 俗稱紅單) 分享

 2021/11/30申請J-1 VISA 不幸拿了行政審查程序(Administrative Processing)俗稱紅單，在此分享後續流程步驟。

面試當天最後一關是面到一位年輕白人女性，在看完Publication List後當場就吃了一張紅單，並且收走護照和DS2019。

紅單如下，需要補交資料包含 Short Resume (範本紅單後面有，注意存檔格式只能是word檔)、CV、Publication List / Thesis Abstract 與 Adviser Letter

Adviser Letter部分紅單上有寫4個問題，這部分要請你美國學校的指導教授回答，並寫成letter寄回給你

填好後就分開成個別檔案夾帶(不能壓縮成一個檔案)email寄到TaipeiAP@state.gov  ，信件標題記得是你的case number (紅單上有)

後記:

我在寄信隔天早上就收到AIT的來電，通知需要補碩士班的論文英文摘要，因為我是目前在唸博士班還沒有博士論文，AIT因此要求補念碩士班時的論文英文摘要。

在此分享一下AIT的來電是未知明顯示號碼，在等AP這段期間未知來電都要記得接啊。

案件查詢:

可以到美國國務院網站(ceac.state.gov)的線上狀態查詢系統，查詢你的申請案進度。

後續更新:

11/30拿到紅單後，我於12/1補件完畢。

接著就是每天上系統查系統進度，一直都是refused狀態，case last updated一直是11/30，等待中間還卡個聖誕假期，最後於1/10狀態變成Processing。

隔日於1/11狀態變成Issued。然後於隔日1/12早上收到簽證。

Travel and Apartments:

You can use www.511.org/ for traveling in the area.  You can find a link for a local hotel list at https://rde.stanford.edu/studenthousing/community-housing.  under the section About the Stanford Area.  I recommend staying near the street El Camino Real if you do not have a car.  Public transportation along that street is very good.   There is no guaranteed housing for postdocs on the campus, unfortunately.

 

It is sometimes difficult to rent an apartment before you arrive but most postdocs are successful in finding a place close to campus.  Most everyone finds housing within a few days of arrival.  Most use Craig's List http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/hhh.  A Stanford site lists rentals and sublets at http://supost.com/.  There are lots of bike paths, particularly in Palo Alto and Menlo Park.  Resources:  https://rde.stanford.edu/studenthousing/housing-resources.

 

While Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Mountain View are the closest to Stanford, Redwood City, Sunnyvale, and cities further out should be considered.  Bus schedules are at http://www.samtrans.com/system_map.html and http://www.vta.org/getting-around/schedules/bus-rail. There is also a train that follows along El Camino Real.  http://www.caltrain.com/stations.html.   As of September 2014, there are substantial discounts for postdocs on train tickets through Stanford.

Rational design of a polysulfide catholyte electrocatalyst by interfacial engineering based on novel MoS2/MoN heterostructures for superior room-temperature Na–S batteries

Abstract

A suitable electrocatalyst plays an essential role in room-temperature Na–S (RT/Na–S) batteries owing to the more severe dissolution of polysulfides and sluggish kinetics of the conversion of polysulfides during charging and discharging processes. In this study, a novel MoS2/MoN heterostructure synthesized via NH3 annealing was introduced as an electrocatalyst into RT/Na–S batteries to promote the evolution of polysulfides in the catholyte with an initial specific capacity of 703 mA h g−1 and retains 392 mA h g−1 after 300 cycles. The density-functional theory (DFT) calculations, ex-situ XPS and Raman spectra were utilized to reveal moderate anchoring and the fast redox kinetics of polysulfides, significantly enhancing the cycling performance and electrochemical performance of the RT-Na/S batteries when compared with those of the RT-Na/S batteries containing pure MoS2 or MoN as the catalyst. The work provides a new strategy for guiding the design of high‐performance catalysts with manipulated chemical components and optimized adsorption ability.

Hydrogenated Anatase and Rutile TiO2 for Sodium-Ion Battery Anodes

Defective transition metal oxides prepared via a hydrogenation treatment have attracted growing attention for use as electrode materials of batteries and supercapacitors due to their improved electrochemical properties. In this work, two TiO2 phases, namely, rutile (TiO2-R) and anatase (TiO2-A), and their hydrogenated phases (denoted with the prefix “H”) are investigated as anodes for sodium-ion batteries. The charge–discharge properties of both phases can be enhanced via a high-pressure hydrogenation treatment. For example, H-TiO2-A exhibits exceptional high-rate performance (100 mA h g–1 at 10,000 mA g–1 vs 5 mA h g–1 at the same current rate for TiO2-A) and great cycling stability (80% capacity retention after 4500 cycles). The introduction of oxygen vacancies increases the electronic and ionic conductivity of TiO2 and the disordered structure offers more active sites for electrochemical reactions. The H-TiO2-R and H-TiO2-A electrodes are compared for sodium-ion battery applications. The superior performance of the former electrode is supported by the generalized gradient approximation Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof density functional calculation.
