The purpose of this work was to study the role of lithium in cesium-based geopolymers and the thermal evolution during heat treatment together with thermal expansion behavior of the resulting geopolymer ceramic. A series of lithium-substituted cesium-based geopolymers, Cs (1− x ) Li x GP (where x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3), were prepared. All the geopolymer samples were heated at 1300°C for 2 h and thermal evolution on heating was studied by a variety of techniques. Phase composition, microstructure evolution, and thermal expansion behaviors of the ceramics derived from the geopolymers were characterized. All the geopolymer specimens exhibited similar thermal evolutionary trends. With increases in lithium content, overall mass loss increased gradually due to the higher hydration energy of Li + than Cs + . Thermal shrinkage of these specimens can be divided into four stages, i.e., structural resilience, dehydration, dehydroxylation, and sintering, according to the dilatometer results. The introduction of Li results in two-step sintering behavior for the lithium-substituted cesium-based geopolymers. The average thermal expansion coefficient (CTE) of Cs (1− x ) Li x GP ceramics decreased from 4.80 × 10 −6 K −1 ( x = 0) to 3.61 × 10 −6 K −1 ( x = 0.3) with increase in lithium substitution. The reason can be attributed to the presence of spodumene after thermal treatment, which has a relatively low thermal expansion coefficient compared with pollucite. Meanwhile, molten spodumene could serve as a buffer phase between pollucite crystals also conducive to the decline of CTE of this system.

Two kinds of rosin derivatives, (2-hydroxy-3-(methacryloyloxy)propyl 7-isopropyl-1,4a-dimethyl-1,2,3,4,4a,4b,5,6,10,10a-decahydrophenanthrene-1-carboxylate) (HMPIDDC) and (((7-isopropyl-1,4a-dimethyl-1,2,3,4,4a,9,10,10a-octahydrophenanthren-1-yl)methyl)azanediyl)bis(2-hydroxypropane-3,1-diyl)bis(2-methylacrylate) (IDOMAHM) were synthesized under mild and easy to implement conditions. The two derivatives were employed as the rigid monomers to copolymerize with acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (AESO), as so to improve the performance of the cured resins. The chemical structures of HMPIDDC and IDOMAHM were confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) before copolymerization. The curing behaviors of pristine AESO, AESO/HMPIDDC blend, and AESO/IDOMAHM blend were monitored by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Moreover, the thermal and mechanical properties of the cured resins were evaluated by universal mechanical testing, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results demonstrated that after the introduction of HMPIDDC and IDOMAHM, the glass transition temperature and mechanical properties of the copolymerized resin were significantly increased. In one word, HMPIDDC and IDOMAHM showed dramatic potential to be used as bio-based compounds to improve the properties of soybean-oil based thermosets.

The functional backfilling in mining achieves synergistic co-mining of deep-earth deposits-geothermal, and the development of functional filling materials with suitable phase change parameters and excellent physicochemical properties is imminent. This study aims to investigate the optimal composition of phase change energy storage backfill material based on MicroPCM. To address the issues of reduced compressive strength and specific heat capacity of MicroPCM-backfill, silicon carbide (SiC) is introduced to prepare MPSC-backfill. Box-Behnken Design (BBD) is proposed to design and analyze according to four factors (ash-sand ratio, slurry concentration, MicroPCM, SiC), three levels (compressive strength, thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity) and three center points. Based on the Response Surface Methodology, the multivariate quadratic polynomial model was used to perform multiple linear regression and binomial fitting analysis to explore the optimal ratio. Combined with SEM-EDS (Scanning Electron Microscope with Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy) analysis, the following conclusions were drawn. SiC exhibits an overall enhancement of the compressive strength of the backfill, and the thermal conductivity tends to increase almost linearly. The specific heat capacity grows in a small amount of silicon carbide doping, but excessive amounts lead to a decrease, with an overall limited impact. The addition of SiC does not affect the phase change ability of MicroPCM. And within a certain range of added quantities, it optimizes specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and compressive strength. Experimental validation based on the obtained optimal composition shows errors within a 5% margin, indicating the response model's good accuracy and predictability. High and low-temperature cyclic tests confirm the long-term thermal energy storage stability of MPSC-backfill during phase change cycles.

Flower spherical ZnO loaded with Ag nanoparticles was synthesized by hydrothermal method. Ag/ZnO electrical contact materials were prepared by powder metallurgy combined with hot extrusion technique. During the hydrothermal reaction, Ag nanoparticles entered the interlayer gaps of flower spherical ZnO and uniformly deposited on its surface. The tensile mechanical test results indicate that the Ag/ZnO electrical contact materials prepared by ZnO, Ag@ZnO (75 wt%) and Ag@ZnO (50 wt%) exhibited elongations of 6.8 %, 13.8 % and 12.1 %, respectively. This result indicates that appropriate loading of Ag nanoparticles on flower spherical ZnO could significantly improve the mechanical properties of Ag/ZnO electrical contact materials. The contact resistance of electrical contact materials significantly affects their temperature rise characteristics. During 20, 000 cycles process, Ag/ZnO electrical contact material prepared by Ag@ZnO (50 wt%) exhibited the lowest temperature rise of 6.33 K under the conditions of DC 36 V/10 A. Considering both mechanical and electrical contact performance, Ag/ZnO electrical contact materials prepared by Ag@ZnO (50 wt%) exhibited the optimum overall performance.

A solution to breaking through the Shockley–Queisser efficiency limit of solar cells is to increase the irradiation intensity beyond one standard sun by means of fabricating concentrator photovoltaics (CPVs). Herein, it is demonstrated that the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of carbon-electrode, all-inorganic CsPbBr 3 perovskite solar cell (PSC) can be enhanced to 10.08% under 5 suns from 8.94% under one sun. The efficiency improvement mainly contributes to the especially boosted open-circuit voltage ( V oc ) up to 1.643 V, which is delivered by the high-irradiation enlarged quasi-Fermi-level splitting in CsPbBr 3 perovskite film. The substantially detrimental heat induced by carbon electrode owing to its full-spectral absorbance to light is further used by integrating a Bi 2 Te 3 thermoelectric generator (TEG) into this all-inorganic CsPbBr 3 PSC to play the role of refrigerant under concentrated light condition. The CsPbBr 3 /Bi 2 Te 3 -integrated device achieves a PCE of 12.46% with an ultrahigh V oc of 2.114 V by the photovoltaic–thermoelectric principle. More importantly, the integrated solar cell maintains over 90% of the initial efficiency after 150 h irradiation under 5 suns, suggesting a great potential to enhance efficiency by fabricating integrated perovskite/thermoelectric devices.

With increasing industrial development, frequent oil spillages in water; therefore, it is imperative and challenging to develop absorbents materials that are eco-efficiency, cost-effective, and pollution prevention. In this study, sorbents obtained from Lignin incorporated with Polypropylene in different levels loading 0, 10, 20 % wt using thermally induced phase separation Technique (TIPS). The Polypropylene/Lignin blend monoliths were fabricated and compared in terms of morphological, thermal, and wetting characterizations. The successfully blending of different lignin concentrations with preserved the chemical structure of the polymer was confirmed by FTIR analysis. Thermogravimetric tests displayed that the existence of Lignin has changed the onset temperature (Tonset) of the blending sorbents, decreasing as the loading of Lignin is increased. The contact angle measurement showed a decrease in the hydrophobicity of sorbents with increasing lignin loading, Polypropylene/Lignin blend monoliths showed better absorption toward oils (soybean – engine) as compared to Polypropylene itself. PP10L showed an improvement in the oil sorption capacity around 2 times compared to the Polypropylene. These excellent features make Polypropylene/Lignin blend monoliths more competitive promising candidates than commercial absorbent.

Perovskite is a promising candidate for X-ray detection applications, but its high thermal expansion coefficient ( α ) poses a challenge in the fabrication of robust flat-panel X-ray image detectors. We propose a strategy to reduce the α of perovskite to release the residual thermal stress in perovskites, solving the problems of cracking and delamination during the preparation of a large-area perovskite thick film. Using this strategy, we prepared dense and uniform large-area films hundreds of micrometers thick with reduced dark current drift and improved stability. Our X-ray detectors demonstrate a detection limit down to 107 nGy air s −1 . The flat-panel X-ray imaging detector provides imaging results with a spatial resolution of 2.5 lp mm −1 .

Nociceptors are kinds of sensory neurons that send warning information to the central nervous system in response to noxious stimuli. Thermal nociception happens as the thermal stimulus exceeds 45 °C as this temperature is perceived to be potentially harmful. Simulating this function is of great significance to developing bioinspired electronic skins and humanoid robots, which thus creates more demands for electronic devices that can simulate thermal nociception. Herein, an artificial thermal nociceptor (ATN) is fabricated by integrating a temperature sensor and a synaptic transistor, which can simulate the thermal pain threshold of the human body and operates in a very similar way as the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1). For this ATN, the function of temperature sensing is realized by a graphite–polydimethylsiloxane (Gr–PDMS) composite temperature sensor, and the synaptic functions, as well as nociceptor features, are emulated through a synaptic transistor using xanthan gum polysaccharide electrolyte as gate dielectric, providing energy-efficient building blocks for brain-inspired computation systems. In a word, the ATN proposed can help to open a new avenue and provides more possibilities in the design of artificial sensory systems with the functions of temperature perception and thermal feedback.

Orthorhombic Sc 2 Mo 3 O 12 films have been successfully prepared via spin coating technique followed by annealing at 500–750 °C. The phase composition, microstructure, morphology and negative thermal behavior of the synthesized Sc 2 Mo 3 O 12 films were investigated. XRD and XPS analysis indicate that as-deposited film is amorphous . Orthorhombic Sc 2 Mo 3 O 12 films can be prepared after post-annealing at 500–750 °C for 1 h. The crystallinity of Sc 2 Mo 3 O 12 films gradually improved with the increase of post-annealing temperature. SEM analysis shows as-deposited film is smooth and compact, and the grain size of Sc 2 Mo 3 O 12 film grows up as the post-annealing temperature increases. Variable temperature XRD analysis demonstrates that the synthesized orthorhombic Sc 2 Mo 3 O 12 films show stable thermo-chemical and anisotropic NTE property in 25–700 °C. The corresponding coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) of the orthorhombic Sc 2 Mo 3 O 12 film in a, b and c directions are −6.68 × 10 −6 °C −1 , 5.08 × 10 −6 °C −1 and −4.76 × 10 −6 °C −1 , respectively. The whole unit cell of the orthorhombic Sc 2 Mo 3 O 12 film shrinks and the volumetric CTE of the Sc 2 Mo 3 O 12 thin film is −6.36 × 10 −6 °C −1 , and the linear CTE is about −2.12 × 10 −6 °C −1 ( α v = 3 α l ).

Adding nanoparticles is a method to regulate the performance of thermoelectric materials. Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 /x MoSi 2 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.13, and 0.16) was synthesized by a wet chemical method combined with atmospheric pressure sintering. The XRD and SEM results reveal that there are no other reaction in the samples. The grain size of all samples decrease with increasing MoSi 2 content, and all presented a similar flake morphology. The influence of MoSi 2 on the thermoelectric performance of Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 is systematically analysed. The appropriate addition of nano-MoSi 2 particles can increase the carrier concentration and enhance conductivity of Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 . The electrical conductivity of Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 /0.05 MoSi 2 is 83.16 Scm −1 , which is 49.2% higher than that of Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 at 1080 K. The Seebeck coefficient of the Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 /0.16 MoSi 2 sample reaches 197.56 μVK −1 at 980 K, which is significantly better than that of previously reported samples prepared by the same method. Moreover, combined with the experimental results and the analysis of the effective medium theory model, the addition of MoSi 2 can effectively debase the thermal conductivity of Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 . The thermal conductivity of Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 /0.16 MoSi 2 (∼1.26 Wm −1 K −1 , 1080 K) samples decrease greatly, which is attributed to the influence of interfacial thermal resistance and pores in the Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 /MoSi 2 . The ZT value of the Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 /0.05 MoSi 2 sample increases by 44.4% compare with that of Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 and reaches 0.26 at 1080 K. These results demonstrate that adding an appropriate amount of MoSi 2 particles is one of the methods to enhance the thermoelectric performance of Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 ceramic samples.

SnSe is considered one of the most intriguing new thermoelectric materials. Polycrystalline SnSe offers a wide range of thermoelectric applications due to its facile synthetic processing and machinability. Herein, we have achieved a high average ZT of 0.8 as well as a high peak ZT of 1.86 in solution-synthesized porous Zn and Ga codoped SnSe nanosheets, generating a maximum energy conversion efficiency of 13.3%. High-density micro/nanopores are induced in the SnSe matrix, which are more effective for scattering phonons and reducing the thermal conductivity. The high density of micro/nanopores, nanosheet structure and dislocations contribute to an ultralow lattice thermal conductivity (0.157 W m−1 K−1 at 873 K). Meanwhile, Ga incorporation can induce band convergence and create resonance levels, producing a large Seebeck coefficient. Ga and Zn codoping contributes to a sharp increase in carrier concentration and an obviously increased electrical conductivity. The enhanced Seebeck coefficient and increased carrier concentration help in achieving a significant enhancement of the power factor over a wide temperature range in the porous Zn and Ga codoped SnSe nanosheets. Consequently, high thermoelectric performance is realized over a wide temperature range via the decoupling of electron–phonon transport in SnSe. This work opens up a great opportunity for designing prospective materials for thermoelectric applications with the aid of the solution synthesis route.

The heat resistance enhancement of fluorosilicone rubber (FSR) can make it more suitable for cutting-edge applications and extreme conditions. This paper focused on the antioxidant properties of boron particles for FSR and the corresponding mechanism. The thermal stability of FSR and FSR/boron composites was characterized by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), isothermal degradation and thermal-oxidative ageing. The results showed that boron significantly improved the thermal stability of FSR. In particular, the FSR/boron (100/10) composite retained 95% of its weight after isothermal degradation at 350 °C for 12 h, while the FSR lost 55% of its weight within the initial 1 h. The antioxidant mechanism of boron was further investigated by chemiluminescence (CL), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and vulcanization curves. It was shown that boron has powerful radical scavenging activity (RSA) and inhibited the oxidation scission of the side groups. Moreover, boron revealed no RSA towards the tert-butoxy radical, ensuring the good vulcanization of the FSR/boron composites.
