Ultrafast and Cost-Effective Fabrication of High-Performance Carbon-Based Flexible Thermoelectric Hybrid Films and Their Devices

Shuai Sun et al.

Summary: An ultrafast and cost-effective hot-pressing method was developed to fabricate a novel carbon-based hybrid film consisting of ionic liquid/phenolic resin/carbon fiber/expanded graphite, taking no more than 15 minutes. The hybrid film showed high flexibility due to the presence of expanded graphite, and the introduction of phenolic resin and carbon fiber improved its shear resistance and toughness. The ion-induced carrier migration contributed to a high power factor of 38.7 μWm(-1) K-2 at 500 K. Comparing with current conventional carbon-based thermoelectric composites, the hybrid film exhibited the best cost-effective property based on the power factor, fabrication time, and cost ratios. Additionally, a flexible thermoelectric device assembled with the hybrid films achieved a maximum output power density of 79.3 nW cm(-2) at a temperature difference of 20 K. This work provides a new approach for fabricating cost-effective and high-performance carbon-based thermoelectric hybrids with promising application potential.

MnO2 Intercalation-Guided impedance tuning of Carbon/Polypyrrole double conductive layers for electromagnetic wave absorption

Lipeng Wu et al.

Summary: A separated dual conductive layer structure (SDC) absorber, called polypyrrole@MnO2@carbon (PMC), was proposed in this study. The unique microstructure allowed electromagnetic waves to enter the highly conductive materials (HCMs) and enhanced their dielectric loss properties. The PMC absorber showed excellent electromagnetic wave absorption performance with a maximum effective absorption bandwidth (EABmax) of 6.76 GHz and a minimum reflection loss (Rlmin) of -64 dB. Coating the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with PMC reduced its radar cross-section (RCS) by half, indicating its practical application potential.
