Surface properties of clinker phases and clay minerals characterized by inverse gas chromatography (IGC) and their link to reactivity

Karen Scrivener, Paul Bowen, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva

This paper presents a preliminary study of the characterization of the surface energy properties of clinker phases (C3S and C3A), kaolin and metakaolin by Inverse Gas Chromatography (IGC). For this, a reliable measurement methodology was developed. By look ...

Renewable energy integration and waste heat valorization in aluminum remelting for co-producing kerosene and methanol

François Maréchal, Daniel Alexander Florez Orrego, Meire Ellen Gorete Ribeiro Domingos

The aluminium sector relies on natural gas for the conversion of recycled scrap into new feedstock, which results in substantial atmospheric emissions. Hydric resources are also impacted, as they serve as heat sinks for the waste heat generated during the ...

High Aspect Ratio Au Microflakes via Gap-Assisted Synthesis

Giulia Tagliabue, Fateme Kiani Shahvandi

Ultrathin and extra-large single-crystalline Au microflakes (Au MFs) have a huge potential in applications ranging from nanophotonics to catalysis. Yet, wet chemical synthesis approaches cannot access this size range due to the proportionality between grow ...

Mechanistic Study on Thermally Induced Lattice Stiffening of ZIF-8

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Wendy Lee Queen, Pascal Alexander Schouwink, Mehrdad Asgari, Qi Liu, Deepu Joseph Babu, Jian Hao

The flexibility of the ZIF-8 aperture, which inhibits a molecular cutoff of 3.4 angstrom, can be reduced by rapid heat treatment to obtain CO2-selective membranes. However, the early stages of the structural, morphological, and chemical changes responsible ...

Cyclopentadiene-Based Hole-Transport Material for Cost-Reduced Stabilized Perovskite Solar Cells with Power Conversion Efficiencies Over 23%

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Yuhang Liu, Felix Thomas Eickemeyer, Hongwei Zhu, Thomas Paul Baumeler

Hole transport materials (HTM) are an important component in perovskite solar cells (PSC). Despite a multitude of HTMs developed in recent years, only few of them lead to solar cells with efficiencies over 20%. Therefore, it is still a challenge to develop ...

Do energy performance certificates allow reliable predictions of actual energy consumption and savings? Learning from the Swiss national database

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Stefano Cozza

The thermal performance gap in buildings is defined as the difference between the theoretical and the actual energy consumption for heating, and is known to undermine energy retrofit strategies and policies. This study examines the performance gap in retro ...

Magnetic hyperthermia with epsilon-Fe(2)O(3)nanoparticles

Débora Bonvin

Biocompatibility restrictions have limited the use of magnetic nanoparticles for magnetic hyperthermia therapy to iron oxides, namely magnetite (Fe3O4) and maghemite (gamma-Fe2O3). However, there is yet another magnetic iron oxide phase that has not been c ...
