Recent advancements have highlighted the importance of developing photothermal materials that utilize polymer phase-change materials, which are critical for enhancing photothermal conversion efficiency. Through comprehensive simulation analyses of the model design, we have developed a novel material featuring a dual-function structure to meet the increasing demand for efficient energy conversion and storage in solar applications. SiCNWs aerogels were successfully prepared using the directional freeze-drying method, with carbon nanowall and nano-crystalline diamonds deposited on the top and bottom sides, respectively, by chemical vapor deposition. With the infusion of polyethylene glycol into the diamond side, a novel dual-function material, CNW&amp;ND@S-A/PEG, was successfully prepared. The top layer of the dual-function material has light absorption close to 92% in the visible light band, while the bottom layer has a thermal conductivity and enthalpy of 1.13 W/(m·K) and 157.0 J/g, which are 706% more and 16.46% less than that of pure PEG, respectively. Our work elucidates the significant role of the diamond skeleton in enhancing thermal conduction, as substantiated by theoretical and finite element calculations. The dual-function material’s adaptability was rigorously validated by simulating practical application scenarios across a spectrum of thermal conditions, including standard, high, and low temperatures. These findings underscore the material’s efficacy in providing thermal protection for electronic devices. Consequently, the results offer a robust framework for developing photothermal materials and introduce an innovative paradigm for thermal management strategies in electronic applications, particularly under extreme environmental conditions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7220,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials","volume":"8 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":21.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s42114-025-01371-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145144799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among diverse La species, lanthanum carbonate (LC) possesses balanced properties in phosphate affinity, biocompatibility, and stability. However, direct one-pot synthesis of positively charged biocarbon and simultaneous assembly of LC on the biocarbon is challenging. Herein, a ternary deep eutectic solvent (DES) composed of glucose, urea, and LaCl₃ was applied as the precursor and medium for the one-pot solvothermal synthesis of biocarbon sheet (BCS)-supported La₂(CO₃)₃ nanowire (BCS-LC). The as-prepared BCS-LC possesses a 2D lamellar structure with dispersed La₂(CO₃)₃ nanowire. The as-prepared BCS-LC is highly efficient in removing phosphorus from biogas effluent (from 83 to &lt; 0.05 mg/L, around 99.9% removal) and natural pond water (from 5.1 to &lt; 0.05 mg/L, &gt; 99% removal) at 1 g/L dosage, which is superior for phosphate adsorption from practical solutions with complex co-existing substances or low phosphate concentration. The phosphate adsorption by BCS-LC is dominated by ligand exchange-induced inner-sphere complexation. DFT calculations further validate the favorable role of nitrogen-containing functional groups on the biocarbon sheet for enhancing affinity to phosphate anions. Furthermore, attributed to the nanowire morphology of LC, the as-prepared BCS-LC is high-efficient in inactivating <i>S. aureus</i> (with a 99.99% antibacterial rate) in the solution.

Thus, one promising way to address the need for water is desalination. In recent years, forward osmosis has been an emerging technique in water treatment applications, especially desalination. This is due to the enhanced quality of water production, which resulted from reduced fouling propensity and high salt rejection. However, the selection of an ideal draw agent for the forward osmosis desalination process is still a challenging issue. Draw agents for forward osmosis desalination should be distinguished with their high osmotic pressure, low reverse solute flux, and facile regeneration. Lately, hydrogels have offered some advantages, such as negligible reverse solute flux and their capability to capture large amounts of water. These merits made different types of hydrogels, like thermoresponsive, electroresponsive, magnetic responsive, gas-responsive, multi-responsive, green, and other hydrogels’ classes, be recognized as draw agents for forward osmosis desalination. In this review, we will describe how hydrogels could be applied as drawing agents for the forward osmosis desalination approach and their operational advantages and drawbacks.

MXenes can be used as nanofillers and functional additives in ceramic hybrids, enhancing sintering and mechanical and electrical properties. In this study, we systematically investigate the incorporation of titanium carbide (Ti₃C₂T_<i>x</i>) MXene into micron-sized (~ 6 μm) boron carbide (B₄C) using a one-step electrostatic self-assembly method. We tuned the zeta potential of B₄C and Ti₃C₂T_<i>x</i> MXene solutions, gradually added B₄C into the MXene solution, and prepared green bodies with 1 to 10 vol.% Ti₃C₂T_<i>x</i>. We examined MXene phase stability, reactions, and phase transformation in B₄C via direct current spark plasma sintering at 1925 °C with a pressure of 70 MPa in a vacuum. To understand the reaction pathways, we conducted stepwise sintering from 800 °C to 1800 °C in 200 °C increments. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy results revealed that Ti₃C₂T_<i>x</i> reacts with B₄C at ~ 1200 °C to form TiB₂, with complete conversion at 1800 °C, resulting in a TiB₂-B₄C structure. For samples with 4 vol.% MXene or higher, B₂O₃ formed above 1200 °C due to MXene oxygen terminations and disappeared above 1800 °C. The overall oxygen content in MXene-containing samples was lower than in B₄C sintered without MXene, indicating its reducing nature as a 2D carbide. MXene also acts as a sintering additive and the relative density was increased by increasing the MXene content, achieving 99% with 10 vol.% MXene. The measured hardness values were 20 ± 1.6 GPa and 41 ± 0.8 GPa for B₄C and B₄C with 10 vol.% MXene Ti₃C₂ samples, respectively. This trend indicates that increasing Ti₃C₂T_<i>x</i> MXene content (1–10 vol.%) in the B₄C matrix enhances hardness due to the formation of TiB₂ phases, which improves densification and reinforces the B₄C matrix. Compared to traditional bulk TiC, 2D MXene sheets provide a larger surface area and uniform coverage of B₄C particles, lowering diffusion energy and enhancing sintering rates. This study demonstrates a new approach to using MXene as a nanometer-thick additive to form uniformly distributed TiB₂ in B₄C to enhance its structural properties.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7220,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials","volume":"8 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":21.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s42114-025-01387-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145143827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we demonstrate that aramid nanofibers (ANFs) can serve as promising candidates for industrially accessible melt-compounding processing. An ANF-filled polysulfone (PSU) masterbatch (1 wt%) was prepared via in situ polycondensation and subsequently melt-diluted with commercial PSU (up to 20-fold: 0.05 wt%) to produce transparent nanocomposites with improved mechanical and flame-retardant properties. The nanocomposites exhibited 2.4- and 1.3-fold increases in tensile toughness and impact strength, respectively, compared to that of neat PSU. Cone calorimeter experiments conducted under a radiative heat flux of 50 kW m⁻², simulating actual fire conditions, demonstrated that the nanocomposite containing 0.1 wt% ANF did not ignite and exhibited near-zero total smoke production, indicating exceptional flame inhibition and minimal smoke hazards. In contrast, neat PSU showed substantial smoke emission and complete combustion, reflecting its vulnerability to fire risks. Even under a flame temperature of 1300 °C, the self-extinguishing time of nanocomposites drastically decreased from 3–2 min to 3–0 s, depending on the ANF content. The highly dispersed ANFs contributed to flame retardancy via a dual mechanism—releasing non-combustible gases that inhibit flame propagation in the gas phase and promoting the formation of a protective char layer that insulates against heat transfer.
