Here the departure diameter of hydrogen bubbles and oxygen bubbles and their detachment process from a nickel wire electrode during water electrolysis are studied using high-speed photography. The results show that in industrial alkaline environment, the departure diameters of most hydrogen bubbles and oxygen bubbles are generally smaller than 60 ​μm and 250 ​μm with the current density ranges from 0.15 to 0.35 ​A/cm². The adhesion force of hydrogen bubbles on a nickel wire is found to be so weak that they can separate with a tiny size. The diameters of oxygen bubbles conform to normal distribution, and its distribution range widens with the increase of current density. The theoretical analysis show that the comprehensive conversion rate of current-to-bubble is unexpectedly low especially at low current densities, which may be attributed to the loss of gas components caused by bubble detachment mode. The majority of oxygen bubbles detach by a sudden bounce after coalescence, which may bring strong disturbance to the concentration boundary layer. This also indicates the coalescence-induced bubble departure mode may occupy a dominant position in the electrolyzers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100356,"journal":{"name":"DeCarbon","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100052"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949881324000180/pdfft?md5=29e09bb4a4ffb0f43ae2d97b3b7ceac7&pid=1-s2.0-S2949881324000180-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141485433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, the inherent low thermal/electrical conductivities of most PCMs limit their energy conversion efficiencies, hindering their practical applications. Herein, we fabricate a highly thermally/electrically conductive solid-solid phase change composite (PCC) enabled by forming aligned graphite networks through pressing the mixture of the trimethylolethane and porous expanded graphite (EG). Experiments indicate that both the thermal and electrical conductivities of the PCC increase with increasing mass proportion of the EG because the aligned graphite networks establish highly conductive pathways. Meanwhile, the PCC4 sample with the EG proportion of 20 ​wt% can achieve a high thermal conductivity of 12.82 ​± ​0.38 ​W·m⁻¹·K⁻¹ and a high electrical conductivity of 4.11 ​± ​0.02 ​S·cm⁻¹ in the lengthwise direction. Furthermore, a solar-thermal energy storage device incorporating the PCC4, a solar selective absorber, and a highly transparent glass is developed, which reaches a high solar-thermal efficiency of 77.30 ​± ​2.71% under 3.0 suns. Moreover, the PCC4 can also reach a high electro-thermal efficiency of 91.62 ​± ​3.52% at a low voltage of 3.6 ​V, demonstrating its superior electro-thermal storage performance. Finally, stability experiments indicate that PCCs exhibit stabilized performance in prolonged TES operations.

In this paper, the nucleation boiling behavior of CO₂ on the nanostructured surface is simulated using molecular dynamics. The effect mechanism of nanostructure size and surface wettability on CO₂ bubbles nucleation and growth is investigated. At first, the nucleation boiling processes of both smooth surfaces and nanostructured surfaces featuring three different wide grooves are simulated. The results show that the local thermal aggregation effect is the key for nanostructures to promote CO₂ bubble nucleation. The bubble nucleation efficiency is highest on the nanostructured surface with 5 ​nm wide groove. Then, based on a 5 ​nm wide nanostructured wall surface, the wettability effect on nucleation boiling is investigated by adjusting the potential energy factor <em>α</em>. The results show that the hydrophilic walls enhance the solid-liquid heat transfer and the collision of atoms within the liquid, resulting in boiling heat transfer capacity improvement between CO₂ and the walls. The average temperature, average heat flux and critical heat flux in the liquid phase are also improved. A significant temperature gradient between the layers of CO₂ liquid is noted on hydrophilic wall, where intermolecular forces and molecular advection dominate the heat transfer mechanism.

Whether the radiative heat flux between hyperbolic films surpasses that of the bulk materials remains insufficiently explored. In this work, we theoretically investigate the radiative heat transfer between hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) at a separation from 20 ​nm to 2 ​μm. The results show that when the optical axis of hBN is oriented in-plane, the near-field radiative heat flux of hBN with a thickness of 10 ​nm exceeds that of hBN bulk by 47% and exceeds the blackbody limit by two orders of magnitude at a gap distance of 20 ​nm. The physical mechanism is attributed to the volume-confined hyperbolic polaritons can be excited in a higher wavevector space. Conversely, when the gap distance is 600 ​nm, the heat flux between films is considerably lower than that of bulk material.

Here, a direct current droplet-based electricity generator (DC-DEG) which is sensitive to the change of charge transfer at the L-S interface is adopted to detect the effects of ions in the neutral salt solution on the charged PTFE surface. The distribution of ions on the charged L-S interface (the change of electric potential on the solid surface) and its effects on the output of DC-DEGs have been studied. The results indicate that the charge transfer of droplets and then the output of DC-DEGs are closely related to the concentrations of salt solutions. Anions can enhance the surface potential of PTFE due to their adsorptions on PFTE while cations can reduce it due to their screen effect. At low ionic concentrations, the surface potential enhancement caused by anion adsorption is larger than that surface potential reduction caused by screen effect from cations. At high ionic concentrations, the electrostatic screen effect of cations increases a lot to weaken the surface potential and reducing the charge separation of droplets induced by electrostatic induction (EI). This work explains the redistribution process of ions at the L-S interface and also provides a clever solution for improving the electrical output performance of DEGs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100356,"journal":{"name":"DeCarbon","volume":"4 ","pages":"Article 100045"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949881324000118/pdfft?md5=8953b4aaa299fad3829e9c0d49a6baea&pid=1-s2.0-S2949881324000118-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140778158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
