Preparation and Characterization of Thermal Storage Ceramics from Iron-Containing Solid Waste

open access: yesMaterials
Copper slag and red mud with high iron contents were discharged with an annual global amount of 37.7 and 175 million tons but had low utilization rates due to wide reuse difficulties. Studies on their large-scale utilization have become urgent. Thermal storage ceramic is a kind of energy storage material with high-added value and a potentially large ...

Elephant‐Skin‐Inspired Porous Cementitious Tiles with Programmable Crack Networks for Passive Cooling

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.
