Orientation growth modulated magnetic-carbon microspheres toward broadband electromagnetic wave absorption

Lei Wang et al.

Summary: Efficient modulation of surface magnetic configurations and electromagnetic responses can be achieved by controlling the growth of magnetic materials. The in situ orientation growth strategy developed here for Fe3O4-Fe3O4@C heterojunctions has demonstrated excellent energy conversion capacity towards electromagnetic waves. The magnetic-dielectric microspheres exhibit strong reflection loss and ultra-wide absorption region, contributing to the understanding of energy conversion mechanisms.

Gokhan Hekimoglu et al.

Summary: In this study, a novel kind of cement mortar was produced with thermal energy storing/releasing properties by incorporating CA-SA eutectic PCM and SF to form FSC-PCM. The FSC-PCM showed great stability in terms of thermal properties, chemical structure, and cycling reliability. Replacement of OCM with FSC-PCM in different weight fractions resulted in improved thermoregulation performance in indoor environments, demonstrating potential for energy savings in buildings.

The design of phase change materials with carbon aerogel composites for multi-responsive thermal energy capture and storage

Keyan Sun et al.

Summary: A multi-responsive thermal energy capture and storage system was developed using Fe-doped carbon aerogel as a supporting matrix and eicosane as a PCM. The system can simultaneously respond to light, electricity, magnetism, and temperature, converting various energy sources into thermal energy stored as latent heat. The PCM shows excellent performance, with a mild transition onset temperature, high thermal energy storage density, shape stability, and great phase transition stability even after numerous heating-cooling cycles.
