Unlocking the power of LiOH: Key to next-generation ultra-compact thermal energy storage systems

open access: yesHeliyon
This study explores the potential of untapped lithium hydroxide (LiOH) as a phase change material for thermal energy storage. By overcoming the challenges associated with the liquid LiOH leakage, we successfully thermal-cycled LiOH in a laboratory scale ...

Caracterización fundamental de superficies metálicas a condiciones relevantes para la catálisis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Heterogeneous catalysis involves chemisorption, reactions of chemisorbed species, and desorption of the products formed. The enthalpies and entropies for these elementary steps and their transition states provide the thermodynamic context that allows ...

Actinium hydrides $AcH_{10}$, $AcH_{12}$, $AcH_{16}$ as high-temperature conventional superconductors

open access: yes, 2018
Stability of numerous unexpected actinium hydrides was predicted via evolutionary algorithm USPEX. Electron-phonon interaction was investigated for the hydrogen-richest and most symmetric phases: R$\overline{3}$m-$AcH_{10}$, I4/mmm-$AcH_{12}$ and P ...

4D‐Printed Spin Crossover Metamaterials with Giant Programmable Positive or Negative Thermal Expansion

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Spin crossover composite filaments are implemented for the rational design of 4D‐printed mechanical metamaterials. The obtained bi‐material structures guided by a theoretical analysis based on analytical calculations and Finite Element Analysis simulations exhibit giant programmable positive or negative deformation with coefficients of thermal ...

Capacitive Detection of Low-Enthalpy, Higher-Order Phase Transitions in Synthetic and Natural Composition Lipid Membranes

open access: yesLangmuir, 2017
In-plane lipid organization and phase separation in natural membranes play key roles in regulating many cellular processes. Highly cooperative, first-order phase transitions in model membranes consisting of few lipid components are well understood and readily detectable via calorimetry, densitometry, and fluorescence.

Plasmonic Nanomachines: Creating Local Potential Gradients and Motions

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Plasmonic nanomachines can generate optical, thermal, and chemical potential gradients to drive directional rectilinear, rotational, and twisting motions at the nanometer scale. The integration of multimodal plasmonic forces with functional materials and programmed structural distortions enables precise spatiotemporal actuation, thereby providing a ...

Strong Lateral Confinement of Hydrophilic Silica Nanoparticles on Mg‐Al Layered Double Hydroxides Nanoflakes for Enhanced Thermal Properties

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A nanostructured, naturally flame‐retardant, and non‐toxic inorganic composite is introduced, which is laterally associated with silica nanoparticles to induce the restacking of the LDH lamella structure, thereby serving as an efficient thermal insulator.

Light‐Programmable Interfaces: From Molecular Photoswitching to Adaptive Membrane Separations

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This review advances an interface‐centered framework for light‐responsive membranes, linking molecular photoswitches (azobenzene (AZO), spiropyran (SP), diarylethene (DAE), donor–acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASA), photoacid) to integration strategies in polymeric, porous, self‐assembled, and mixed‐matrix systems.
