Chemical Vapor Deposition for the Fabrication of WTe2/h‐BN Heterostructures

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is studied to produce WTe2 atomic crystals with different morphologies on Si/SiO2 and Si/SiO2/h‐BN substrates. The formation of vertical WTe2/h‐BN heterostructures can be achieved by using a slightly increased temperature as compared to SiO2 substrates, and characterization, including Raman and XPS studies, confirms the ...

Surface‐Engineered Cenospheres Encapsulating Phase Change Materials for Functional Cementitious Composites

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The global energy demand drives the need for advanced energy‐efficient building solutions. While current polymeric‐shell microencapsulated PCMs show promise for thermal energy storage, their use in cementitious materials is challenged by poor shell strength and interfacial bonding. This study develops novel cement‐compatible microencapsulated PCM using
