The major focus was the incorporation of sustainability measures such as integrating life cycle assessment (LCA) into the materials development at an early stage to study and compare the environmental feasibility of the recycled membrane with the primary membrane. The aim was also to ensure reduced resource depletion of critical raw materials such as cobalt and lanthanum by means of recycling. It consisted of microwave-assisted dissolution of the membrane followed by ultrasonic spray synthesis. The recycled membrane exhibited at least 83 % of the oxygen permeability of the primary membrane and maintained hydrogen tolerance up to 600 °C for 25 h which is a remarkable result for LCCF_6428 in terms of potentially enhancing its life span. As per the LCA, recycling did result in lower resource depletion. However, the recycled LCCF had a higher overall environmental impact compared to the primary LCCF, mainly due to increased electricity consumption during recycling. These results accentuate the need for a transition towards more efficient processes accompanied by cleaner and renewable sources of energy and critically indicate integration of LCA into materials development to establish the sustainability profile of materials.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22097,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Materials and Technologies","volume":"42 ","pages":"Article e01161"},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142571440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The XRD and SAED results, respectively, showed the spinal crystalline structure of MFO and the hexagonal structure of Gr in MFO/Gr nanocomposite. The XPS results revealed that the orbitals of MFO and Gr atoms interacted with each other, implying a Van der Waals heterojunction nanocomposite. The optical characteristics using UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectrophotometry (UV–Vis DRS) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra demonstrated a lowering of MFO band gap from 2.05 to 1.84 eV by incorporation of Gr. Furthermore, the photoelectrocatalytic and photocatalytic dye degradation examinations showed a substantial impact of Gr on the photocatalytic activity of MFO nanoparticles: a 28-fold increase in the photocurrent and an 8-fold increase in the dye-degradation rate. The density functional theory (DFT) studies on MFO/Gr heterojunction revealed a considerable hybridization between Gr atoms orbitals (2p orbitals) and MFO atoms orbitals (Mg 3 s and Fe 3d orbitals) in the conduction band, which facilitate the transfer of photo-excited electrons from MFO to Gr. Also, the charge density difference at the MFO/Gr interface led to a polarized field at the interface, which is desirable for hindering photogenerated electron-hole recombination in the MFO/Gr nanocomposite.

While most efforts are focused on electrochemical batteries, storing solar energy as heat is a viable alternative. Phase change materials (PCMs) utilize the solid – liquid transition to reversibly store heat at a constant temperature. The leakage of the molten phase limits the use of PCMs, but it can be alleviated by impregnation into porous matrices. Metals can be used for high temperature stationary heat storage, but are incompatible with oxide matrices due to the large difference in density and surface tension. The optimization of mesoporous silica – bismuth composites synthesis through nanocasting followed by reduction is reported. The resulting materials exhibit metallic bismuth both inside the mesopores and as an interparticle phase, leading to materials with stability towards oxidation, reversible heat storage, shape stability and reliability. A nanoconfined Bi phase could be obtained for low reaction times (4 h) and temperatures (125 °C) and it is correlated with increased stability towards oxidation in air. The samples with 50 % wt. metal retain their macroscopic shape above the metal melting point without leakage. All composites retain 50–96 % of their theoretical heat of fusion, which remains unchanged after 50 heating – cooling cycles.

To overcome these issues, an open-structured silica network based on silane-terminated liquid-like telechelic polybutadienes was introduced into rubber composites. This unique network consists of silica aggregates that are chemically bound together, but exhibit physical separation, enabling rubber chains to permeate. The infiltrated polymer chains were tightly constrained by the network, resulting in a notable increase in the crosslink density and mechanical strength of the composite. Furthermore, the tan δ values at 60 °C showed a notable decrease as a result of diminished interparticle friction caused by isolated silica structures and reduced mobility of polymer chains within the network.
