The optical properties were measured and explained on transmission (T%) value. The X/γ-rays shielding properties were experimented with and explained on mass attenuation coefficients (µm) for X-rays which were measured using a high-frequency digital X-rays machine while γ-rays were measured using the narrow beam transmission method. In addition, half value layer (HVL), mean free path (MFP) and transmission factor (TF) values were evaluated and discussed. Also, fast and thermal neutron shielding properties of BaSSG have been evaluated and discussed. The results found that the BaSSG6 glass sample had the highest T% and µm values, while HVL, MFP and TF were the lowest. These results indicated that the BaSSG6 glass sample offers excellent X/γ-rays and fast neutron shielding compared to other samples. Whereas the BaSSG1 glass sample provided superb thermal neutron shielding. These reflected that the BaSSG glass system had the potential to develop transparent and Pb-free shielding material.Keywords: Steel slag glassX/γ-rays shieldingfast and thermal neutrons Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis research is financially supported by Thailand Science Research and Innovation (TSRI) National Science, Research and Innovation Fund (NSRF) (Fiscal Year 2022).","PeriodicalId":13686,"journal":{"name":"Integrated Ferroelectrics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135246744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, it is feasible to create RFB systems that are both cost and performance effective. Recently, a zinc-manganese RFB that relies on Zn(s)/Zn2+(aq) and Mn2+(aq)/MnO2 redox couples has gained attention since both zinc and manganese are cheap, abundant, and eco-friendly. However, the reversibility of Mn2+(aq)/MnO2 at the positive electrode is limited by the formation of Mn3+ species upon charge/discharge (CD) cycling, resulting in severe capacity fading. Herein, this study examines the use of reducing agents as electrolyte additives to enhance the reversibility of the Mn2+(aq)/MnO2 reaction. Experimental results indicate that sulfuric acid and oxalic acid as additives can significantly improve the reversibility of the Mn2+(aq)/MnO2 reaction and the cycling stability of zinc-manganese RFBs. The acetate-based system demonstrates better reversible reaction than the sulfate-based system having more than 100 CD cycles at a current density of 10 mA/cm2. Coulombic efficiency (CE) is also seen to be higher than 90%. Overall, results lead to increased efficiency and cycling stability for zinc-manganese RFBs.Keywords: Zinc-manganese flow batteryelectrolyte additivemanganese oxide dissolution/depositionMn2+(aq)/MnO2 AcknowledgmentsThe Program Management Unit for Human Resources & Institutional Development, Research and Innovation (B16F640166), the Energy Storage Cluster, Chulalongkorn University, and Beamline 5.2 at Synchrotron Light Research Institute (SLRI) are acknowledged.Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":13686,"journal":{"name":"Integrated Ferroelectrics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135195634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The radiation shielding quantities such as mass attenuation coefficient (µm), effective atomic numbers (Zeff), half value layer (HVL) and mean free path (MFP) were calculated using Phy–X/PSD program at energies ranging from 1 keV–100 GeV while exposure and energy absorption buildup factors (EBF and EABF) were evaluated using geometric progression (G–P) fitting method at energies ranging 0.015–15 MeV for penetration depths (PD) until 40 mean free path (mfp). In addition, the density and elastic moduli were estimated. The results found that the TPB5 glass sample having the largest content of Bi2O3 possessed the highest density and excellent radiation shielding properties. This reflected that replacing TeO2 with Bi2O3 improved effective radiation shielding. In addition, the MFP for glass series were lower than the hematite-serpentine concrete. It indicated that this glass series are photon shielding better than the hematite-serpentine concrete. Whereas, this sample had the lowest elastic moduli.

To discover the potential of thermoelectric glass, a comprehensive study was conducted on a series of samples using a combination of methods for analyzing both their structural and electrical properties. The structure exhibits the findings of the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis compositional investigation. It was discovered that the intensity within the LiV3O8 phase decreased with increasing dopant Bi2Te3 concentration, which produced an impact on the thermoelectric properties. The density value highest at 25 wt% doping and was 3.17 g/cm3. Furthermore, the thermoelectric properties of the samples were examined using ZEM-3 series instruments. The behavior of the semiconductor material is represented by the continual decrease in electrical resistivity value. The N-type thermoelectric material classification is represented by the verified Seebeck coefficient value. Out of the samples tested, the LVBZ with 15% Bi2Te3 doping by weight demonstrated the highest electrical performance in this series, with a power factor of 0.07 µW/mK2 at 668 K.

Frequency dependence of dielectric properties for all samples was measured by LCR meter. The polarization hysteresis loops were also investigated in order to calculate the energy density of materials. From the results, it was found that the dielectric constant and loss of these nanocomposites are independent of frequency and the εr and tanδ values tend to increase with increasing BT amount. Moreover, after adding 50% of BT into the system, the energy density of nanocomposites is increased by five times compared with the pure epoxy resin while the energy loss density sharply decreases.

The semiconductors were prepared to be a composite film with alginate.
