Metastable Liquid–Liquid Phase Separation and Aging Lead to Strong Processing Path Dependence in Mini‐Spidroin Solutions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates have central functions in cells and are also observed during the assembly of biological materials such as silks. For a mini‐spidroin protein, the presence of long‐lived metastable or dynamically arrested intermediate states leads to complex pathways and difficulties in identifying equilibrium states. Constructing phase diagrams

Thermomass Theory in the Framework of GENERIC

Entropy, 2020
Thermomass theory was developed to deal with the non-Fourier heat conduction phenomena involving the influence of heat inertia. However, its structure, derived from an analogy to fluid mechanics, requires further mathematical verification. In this paper,

Thermodynamic restrictions on linear reversible and irreversible thermo-electro-magneto-mechanical processes [PDF]

Heliyon 2(2016), e00164, 2015
A unified thermodynamic framework for characterization of functional materials is developed. This framework encompasses linear reversible and irreversible processes with thermal, electrical, magnetic, and/or mechanical effects coupled. The comprehensive framework combines the principles of classical equilibrium and non-equilibrium thermodynamics with ...

Some thoughts about nonequilibrium temperature

, 1996
The main objective of this paper is to show that, within the present framework of the kinetic theoretical approach to irreversible thermodynamics, there is no evidence that provides a basis to modify the ordinary Fourier equation relating the heat flux ...

Engineering the Metal/Oxide Interfacial O‐Filling Effect to Tailor Oxygen Spillover for Efficient Acidic Water Oxidation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The oxygen spillover from Ir to the oxide support with interfacial oxygen vacancies during OER is revealed. These interfacial oxygen vacancies as an oxygen transport zone not only regulate the in situ Ir catalytic structure toward boosted activity but also suppress Ir over‐oxidation via directional OH‐filling effects, thereby ensuring overall high ...

Elucidating Sodium Ion Storage Mechanisms in Hard Carbon Anodes at the Electronic Level

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
High‐resolution, multi‐frequency continuous wave, and pulsed Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy uncover the intricate Na ion storage mechanisms in hard carbon. This study reveals the coexistence of Na ion intercalation and solvent co‐intercalation, alongside a subsequent transition of Na ions from ionic to quasi‐metallic to metallic ...

ONSAGER RELATIONS AND EXTENDED IRREVERSIBLE THERMODYNAMICS [PDF]

, 1997
We show that when the thermodynamic fluxes are included as independent thermodynamic state variables of a generalized entropy. the original ONSAGER formulation may be directly used in the space of the fiuxes.

Local equilibrium and the second law of thermodynamics for irreversible systems with thermodynamic inertia [PDF]

, 2015
Validity of local equilibrium has been questioned for non-equilibrium systems which are characterized by delayed response. In particular, for systems with non-zero thermodynamic inertia, the assumption of local equilibrium leads to negative values of the

Photoswitchable Conductive Metal–Organic Frameworks

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A conductive material where the conductivity can be modulated remotely by irradiation with light is presented. It is based on films of conductive metal–organic framework type Cu3(HHTP)2 with embedded photochromic molecules such as azobenzene, diarylethene, spiropyran, and hexaarylbiimidazole in the pores.

Thermodynamic nature of irreversibility in active matter [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Active matter describes systems whose constituents convert energy from their surroundings into directed motion, such as bacteria or catalytic colloids. We establish a thermodynamic law for dilute suspensions of interacting active particles in the form of a remarkable direct link between their dynamics and thermodynamics: The rate at which ...
