Assessment of CexZryHfzO2 based oxides as potential solar thermochemical CO2 splitting materials
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
In this paper, we report the synthesis, characterization, and assessment of CexZryHfzO2 (CZH) materials for solar thermochemical splitting of CO2 in up to 20 consecutive thermochemical cycles. CZH materials with different ...
Sol-gel derived CeO2-Fe2O3 nanoparticles: Synthesis, characterization and solar thermochemical application
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Synthesis of CeO2-Fe2O3 nanoparticles via propylene oxide (PO) aided sol-gel method for the production of solar fuels via thermochemical H2O/CO2 splitting cycles is reported in this paper. For the synthesis of CeO2-Fe2O3, ...
Innovative method of metal coating of microcapsules containing phase change materials
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Microencapsulation of phase change materials (PCMs) is needed to prevent PCM leaking during melting. However, the low thermal conductivity of the microcapsules shell limits their applications. To enhance thermal conductivity ...
Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) based polymer nanocomposite membranes for gas separation
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2012 , Article)
As synthesised ZIF-8 nanoparticles (size ∼ 60 nm and specific surface area ∼ 1300–1600 m2 g−1) were directly incorporated into a model polymer matrix (Matrimid® 5218) by solution mixing. This produces flexible transparent ...
In situ electron microscopy of Braille microsystems: Photoactuation of ethylene vinyl acetate/carbon nanotube composites
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2015 , Article)
The development of new types of tactile displays based on the actuation of composite materials can aid the visually impaired. Micro/nano systems based on ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) polymeric matrices enriched with ...
