Snow Surface Albedo Sensitivity to Black Carbon: Radiative Transfer Modelling

Atmosphere, 2020
The broadband surface albedo of snow can greatly be reduced by the deposition of light-absorbing impurities, such as black carbon on or near its surface. Such a reduction increases the absorption of solar radiation and may initiate or accelerate snowmelt

Mechanical Behavior and Microstructural Changes Associated with Tensile Deformation above the Martensite Start Temperature during Quenching and Subsequent Partitioning of a Low‐Alloy 37SiB6 Steel

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A new experimental setup, incorporating digital image correlation and infrared thermography in combination with inductive‐conductive heating for precise temperature control, is used to analyze the mechanical behavior and microstructural changes of sheet metal under complex thermomechanical test conditions that represent quench and partitioning ...

Computationally supported neutron scattering study of natural shungite, anthraxolite, and synthetic carbon black [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
A set of sp2 amorphous carbons involving natural mineral shungite carbon and antraxolite as well as two synthetic carbon blacks were investigated by using neutron powder diffraction and inelastic neutron scattering at low temperature. NDP revealed nanographite-like structure of all the samples, stacks of which are formed by basic structure units ...

Facet‐Junction Induced Strong Metal Support Interaction for Enhanced Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, a novel facet‐junction strategy is proposed to enhance the strong metal‐support interaction (SMSI) between the loaded Ru atoms and the Co3O4 support. The synthesized structure with the incorporation of Ru doping and the (100)/(111) crystal plane junction has a particular influence on the catalyst's hydrogen evolution reaction (HER ...

Microstructure and tensile properties of magnesium nanocomposites fabricated using magnesium chips and carbon black

Journal of Magnesium and Alloys, 2020
In this study, carbon black (0, 0.01, 0.03 and 0.08 wt%) and AZ31 (Mg–3Al–1Zn) magnesium chips were used to fabricate carbon black-reinforced magnesium matrix composites with extrusion or a combination of extrusion and high-ratio differential speed ...

Unusually stable helical coil allotrope of phosphorus

, 2016
We have identified an unusually stable helical coil allotrope of phosphorus. Our ab initio Density Functional Theory calculations indicate that the uncoiled, isolated straight 1D chain is equally stable as a monolayer of black phosphorus dubbed ...

Photo‐Assisted Zn‐Iodine Battery via Bifunctional Cathode with Iodine Host and Solar Response Boost

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A bifunctional cathode based on BiOI materials is developed for photo‐assisted Zn‐iodine batteries, serving as both an iodine host and a solar‐responsive material. This design enables dual reaction routes involving vacancy‐based iodine storage and reversible two steps iodine redox.

Direct Ink Writing of Conductive Hydrogels

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines the use of direct ink writing (DIW) for fabricating conductive hydrogels with customizable 3D structures. It outlines the rheological requirements for successful DIW, followed by an exploration of the materials and ink formulations used to impart electronic and/or ionic conductivity to hydrogels while maintaining printability ...

In Situ Constructed Magnetic Core‐Shell Hydrogen‐Bonded Organic Framework‐on‐Metal–Organic Framework Structure: an Efficient Catalyst for Peroxymonosulfate Activation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In this work, a magnetic core‐shell catalyst (HOF‐on‐Fe3O4/ZIF‐67) is successfully synthesized, consisting of a metal–organic framework (ZIF‐67) with magnetic Fe3O4 as the core and a porous hydrogen‐bonded organic framework (HOF) as the shell. The catalyst efficiently activated peroxymonosulfate, resulting in rapid and effective removal of water ...

An ecological study of PM2.5 and black carbon and acute hemorrhagic stroke: a long term effect study

Environmental Research Communications
Both PM2.5 and black carbon particle are associated with acute ischemic stroke. There is limited data on the correlation of long term effects of PM2.5 and black carbon on acute hemorrhagic stroke with a large sample size.
