A 3D porous polymer film designed for efficient passive radiative cooling

Abstract: Passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) technique can cool objects without energy consumption by reflecting sunlight and radiating heat into the cold outer space through atmospheric transparent windows (ATW). Here, 3D porous polydimethylsiloxane (P-PDMS) films with excellent radiative cooling properties were fabricated using citric acid monohydrate (CAM) templates. Integrating with high sunlight reflectance (78.6%) and great thermal emissivity (99.4%) in ATW, the test was performed in an outdoor environment with an average solar radiation of 715.09 W/m2. The maximum temperature of P-PDMS film is reduced to 15.4℃, and in the actual roof application test, P-PDMS film also show excellent passive radiant cooling performance of 8.3℃ cooling in the house. The 3D-porous structure plays an important role in improving solar reflectivity and IR emissivity. Combined with efficient DRC capabilities and mass production compatibility, this work brings a new paradigm for the preparation of cooling devices with potential commercial applications in sustainable energy-free cooling.

A study on aramid nano-aerogel fiber and its fabric thermal conductivity

Abstract: Aramid nano-aerogel represents an ideal structure for the fabrication of next-generation high-performance thermal insulation fibers and textiles. Single aramid nano-aerogel fiber can be achieved via wet spinning. The thermal conductivity of these fibers, a crucial determinant of textile insulation performance, remains under-explored in terms of numerical modeling. This research aims to establish a numerical inversion model to determine the thermal conductivity of single aramid nano-aerogel fiber. By simulating the three-dimensional geometry of plain fabric, the volume fraction of gas and solid within the fabrics are computed. Drawing from the law of energy conservation and Fourier's law of heat conduction, a relationship model is proposed between the thermal conductivity of single aramid nano-aerogel fiber and the overall thermal conductivity of the fabric. The finite difference method is employed to ascertain the thermal conductivity of single aramid nano-aerogel fiber. Furthermore, the influence of the geometric structure and the fiber diameter on the thermal insulation performance of the single-layer fabric is analyzed, which provides a feasible approach for the subsequent design of fabric structures with excellent thermal insulation properties.

Study on the corrosion inhibition performance of Schiff base corrosion inhibitor on Q235 steel

Abstract: Q235 steel is widely used in industry and daily life, and it is prone to corrosion during use, especially in hydrochloric acid solution where corrosion is particularly severe. Schiff base organic compounds can significantly inhibit the corrosion of Q235 steel in hydrochloric acid solution, making them a green and environmentally friendly organic compound. This article uses aniline, octadecylamine, and glutaraldehyde as raw materials to prepare two Schiff base corrosion inhibitors, namely bisaniline Schiff base and bisoctadecylamine Schiff base (named BXFJ and SXFJ respectively). The corrosion inhibition performance and mechanism of these two Schiff base inhibitors in Q235 steel in hydrochloric acid solution were studied using weight loss method, electrochemical testing, quantum chemical theory calculation, and molecular dynamics simulation. The results of weight loss method and electrochemical testing show that in a 1mol/L HCl solution, the corrosion inhibition performance of BXFJ at a concentration of 25mg/L is higher than that of SXFJ, indicating that BXFJ can exert excellent corrosion inhibition performance in HCl environment. Density functional theory (DFT) indicates that the active sites of the two Schiff bases are C=N double bonds, and molecular dynamics (MD) further confirms that both Schiff base corrosion inhibitors can adsorb on the surface of Q235 steel.

Mechanism of interface debonding in steel-concrete components caused by thermal expansion and contraction

Abstract: The steel tube concrete structure constrains the core concrete through the inner wall of the steel tube, forming a hoop effect, significantly improving the compressive performance of the core concrete and effectively exerting the tensile performance of the steel tube. Although this structure has been optimized in terms of mechanical properties, its ultra-high bonding performance makes it extremely difficult to disassemble and recycle. To explore ways to solve this challenge, this article selects C40 concrete as the matrix concrete, and designs and produces circular steel tube concrete specimens and square steel tube concrete specimens with a height of 250mm and a steel tube wall thickness of 4mm. The specific research content covers the hoop effect of steel pipes on core concrete, the degradation law of thermal expansion and contraction interface bonding performance of steel pipe concrete components, the coupling effect of cutting joints and thermal expansion and contraction on interface bonding performance of steel pipe concrete components, and the mechanism of interface debonding of steel pipe concrete components. Through systematic experiments and analysis, the influence of different variation parameters on the debonding performance of steel tube concrete was deeply studied, and its debonding mechanism was revealed. This series of studies provides an important scientific basis for the theoretical understanding and application of steel-concrete structures, helping to overcome the problem of dismantling and recycling, and promoting the transformation and development of related equipment.

Abstract: A series of Ni-Cu co-doped spinel LiMn1.92-xCu0.08NixO4 cathode materials were successfully synthesized by a solution combustion method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra showed that all the as-prepared LiMn1.92-xCu0.08NixO4 samples belong to spinel LiMn2O4 structure without any impurity phase. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the particle size of the samples decreased with the increase of Ni-doping amount, and the crystallinity increased gradually. The galvanostatic charge/discharge tests results showed that the LiMn1.86Cu0.08Ni0.06O4 sample shows excellent rate performance and cyclic stability. At room temperature and 1 C, the initial discharge specific capacity of LiMn1.86Cu0.08Ni0.06O4 was 103.4 mAh g-1, and the capacity retention rate of 67.80% was obtained after 1000 cycles, which was higher than 49.60% of LiMn2O4. Even at high current densities of 5 C and 10 C, the good capacity retention rates of 73.55% and 67.29% for LiMn1.86Cu0.08Ni0.06O4 sample were obtained after 1000 cycles, respectively. Read More

Research on the Compression Performance and Damage Mechanism of Larix Wood With Smooth Grain

Abstract: In order to investigate the compression performance and damage mechanism of fallen wood in the down-grain direction, northeast larix was taken as the research object. Through the monotonic compression test of 12 specimens, the deformation characteristics, damage mode, and stress-strain curve properties of larix wood under compression in the direction of the smooth grain were analyzed; scanning electron microscope technology was used to analyze the damage and fracture characteristics of wood fibers from the microscopic point of view to further reveal the damage mechanism of wood monotonic compression. The results showed that larix wood compressed in the paragons produced three damage modes of end collapse, shear damage and paragons splitting after the peak load, and the shear damage usually occurred at the junction of the early and late wood tubular cells due to the difference between the early and late wood tubular cells. On this basis, an isomorphic model was established to describe the compression of larix wood in the smooth grain. Read More

Performance characterization and microscopic properties of asphalt modified with rapeseed heavy oil-activated waste rubber powder

Abstract: To improve the waste rubber powder modified asphalt viscosity is high, poor storage stability, and other shortcomings, 40 mesh, 60 mesh, and 80 mesh are three kinds of mesh rubber powder using rapeseed heavy oil pre-swelling activation way to prepare modified asphalt, improve the waste rubber powder modified asphalt storage stability and reduce the viscosity. The optimum blending amount of rapeseed heavy oil-activated waste rubber powder was determined by setting three oil-rubber ratios, and the unactivated waste gum powder modified asphalt was set as a control group, and the physical, rheological, and microscopic properties of the asphalt were evaluated accordingly. The optimum preparation parameters under the premise of setting the total dosage of modifier as 20% were: the mass ratio of rubber powder to rapeseed oil was 2:1, and the mesh size of rubber powder was 80 mesh. Rapeseed heavy oil-activated waste rubber powder modified asphalt storage stability and low-temperature performance improved, viscosity decreased, but high-temperature performance decreased at the same time. Compared with the unactivated waste rubber powder modified asphalt, the softening point decreased by an average of 16%, the needle penetration increased by an average of 19%, the ductility increased by an average of 44%, the viscosity decreased by an average of 22%, and the softening point difference decreased by an average of 44%. In the high-temperature rheological performance test set temperature interval, the rutting coefficient G*/sinδ decline, creep stiffness Ѕ, and creep rate m have increased. Therefore, rapeseed heavy oil activation can effectively improve the overall stability of waste rubber powder-modified asphalt and can reduce the overall viscosity, which is conducive to the uniform dispersion of rubber powder in asphalt.
