Various effective approaches have been discussed to develop ceramic, semiconducting and polymer based graphite sensors. It was found that graphite based nanocomposite materials have unique potential for detecting humidity due to specific structure, high electro thermal conductivities, good mechanical properties, low cost and ultrahigh surface area that increases applications in the field of energy storage devices.

By using the systematic measurements, various physico chemical quantities, adiabatic compressibility (β), free length (Lf), free volume (Vf), viscous relaxation time (τ) and Gibbs free energy (ΔG) are attained. The deviations of those quantities to their ideal values are derived and revealed with the intermolecular interactions. The standard deviations and the coefficients of Redlich Kister polynomials of excess quantities are also determined to validate the calculations. From these observations, the existence of intermolecular interaction is confirmed and the strength of interactions with the temperatures as 303K>308K>313 K.","PeriodicalId":18247,"journal":{"name":"Material Science Research India","volume":"196 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82148132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The used cooling systems are the source of the harmful changes in the global climate. And so, we need to search a new alternate cooling systems applying environmentally friendly technology that may help in decreasing the pollutions in our world. The progress in materials science allows to use some materials for cooling purposes. This new class of materials is so called \"magnetic refrigerator\". The basics of magnetic refrigeration depends on the magneto-caloric properties to reach low temperatures and obtain cooling system. The advantage of magnetic refrigerator (MR); First, the cooling efficiency is higher than conventional vapor refrigerator CVM where its cooling efficiency ̴ 30-60% while the cooling efficiency in CVM ̴ 5-10%. Second, MR can be more compactly built. Third, it is safe and an environmentally friendly cooling. In this work, we will highlight on the scientific efforts to find optimum properties to be applied as the magnetic refrigeration. In this review the highlights of the scientific efforts to seek for the best alternative materials to be used as a magnetic refrigeration applications. The low coast and small size of magnetic cooling is one the important advantage.

The as-prepared products were studied by XRD, SEM-EDAX, UV-Vis, and FT-IR analytical techniques. XRD patterns revealed the fact that both TiO2 (TO)and TAOs exhibited almost similar peaks with the exception to minor peak difference in width and height which could be attributed to the alteration in the size of particles. At the calcination temperature of 500 oC, the absence of peaks for Al2O3 (AO) in the TAOs XRD pattern indicates the amorphous nature of AO. However, the appearance of Ti, Al, and O on EDAX and redshift on UV-Vis spectra confirm the successful impregnation of AO on TO. The pollutant degradation ability of TAOs photocatalyst was tested on methyl orange (MO) dye. Compared to pure TO, TAO composite has greater degradation efficiency. However, as the percentage of AO increases the degradation efficiency decreases. The conducted Langmuir model test was found to fit well for the photocatalytic reaction process following first-order reaction kinetics. Comparing the values for kinetics constant with earlier work, this work showed good MO degradation efficiency with reaction rate constant (k) values of 0.023.","PeriodicalId":18247,"journal":{"name":"Material Science Research India","volume":"82 1","pages":"252-260"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86543598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
