Metal halide perovskite-based thermoelectric materials have garnered considerable attention due to their ultralow thermal conductivities and decent electric transport properties, while the research into generators (TEGs) lag much behind progress of materials. In this paper, a real-sized 3D finite element model metal TEG is established under iso-thermal iso-flux heat boundary conditions. Compared with traditional PbTe-based TEGs, TEGs exhibit more promising TE performance conversion...
This study aims to evaluate the water retention and flame-retardant properties of silica gel prepared using anionic polyacrylamide (HPAM), gluconate-delta-lactone (GDL), aluminum citrate (AlCit). Silica samples were synthesized with sodium silicate (8 wt%), bicarbonate (4 wt%) varying concentrations HPAM (0.2-0.8 GDL (0.1-0.3 wt%). The gels characterized XPS, XRD, FTIR, TGA. Optimal capacity was achieved 0.4 wt% 0.2 GDL. Compared traditional gels, has more surface molecules due additional...
Thermoelectric generator (TEG) is a class of solid-state heat engine that directly converts into electricity. Despite extensive studies on the core thermoelectric materials, inverse design TEG operating conditions to harness their full potentials, remains challenging due high-dimensional space. Recent efforts in deep learning TEGs using artificial neural network (ANN) lack global sensitivity analyses and interpretation connection-weights, which leads coupling effects unknown between input...
Abstract Wood is highly susceptible to fire due its flammability, causing serious casualties and property damage; therefore, wood treated with retardants will be a major issue. In this work, the refractory properties of silica gel high water retention capacity were investigated. Testing while taking into account characteristics by researching impact varied component concentrations. Furthermore, various analytical approaches used explore flame-retardant mechanism gel. According experimental...
