文摘Coal cinder is an abundant byproduct of the extensive consumption of coal in industrial production and daily life.Making full use of the cinder is conducive to a low-carbon economy.In this study,inspired by the burning of coal,a new method for constructing a silica-based composite porous material(SiO_(2)-CPM)was developed by combusting a siloxane-modified anthracite coal gel(CSiO_(2) gel).During this process,the combustion product was directly converted into a porous material,and the calorific value of the coal remained nearly unchanged(~98%of the original calorific value was retained),demonstrating the viability of this method for energy-efficient applications.The SiO_(2)-CPM exhibited an ultra-low thermal conductivity(0.036 W/(m·K)at room temperature),outperforming conventional insulation materials(e.g.,cotton~0.05 W/(m·K)).Additionally,it showed enhanced mechanical strength(fracture stress of 41.8 kPa)compared to the powder state of the coal cinder.Experimental results indicate that the amount of siloxane,structure-directing agent,and an acidic environment were critical for mechanical enhancement.The SiO_(2)-CPM showed good dimensional stability against thermal expansion and exhibited excellent thermal insulation and fire resistance even at 900℃.Meanwhile,the SiO_(2)-CPM with complex geometry could be easily fabricated using this method owing to the excellent shaping ability of the CSiO_(2) gel.Compared to conventional methods such as sol-gel synthesis or freeze-drying,this approach for fabricating SiO_(2)-CPM is simpler and cost-effective and allows the direct utilization of coal cinder post-combustion.

文摘Nanodroplet impact on nanoscale material interfaces is widely involved in nanoscience and nanotechnology,affecting the technical reliability through complicated liquid‒solid interaction force,that is,the droplet impact force.However,our understanding of the nanodroplet impact force is still blank.Herein,we reveal that the nanoscale size(∼10 nm)and high impact velocity(>100 m/s)of nanodroplets lead to unique characteristics of impact force,significantly differing from those ofmacrodroplets(∼1 mm).The nanodroplet impact force profile holds a single-peak feature,which is independent of droplet parameters and material wettability.The significant water-hammer pressure induces the abnormal rising of impact force,yielding unexpectedly high peak values governed by the Mach number(more than 10 orders of magnitude higher than droplet gravity).Our findings of droplet impact force at the nanoscale reveal the potential challenge of the damage of material surfaces by nanodroplet impact,highlighting one crucial factor for advancing nanolithography and nanoprinting.

文摘To improve the performance of low-carbon magnesia carbon refractories,specimens were prepared using fused magnesia with particle sizes of 3-1,≤1,and≤0.074 mm,flake graphite with a particle size of≤0.15 mm as the main raw materials,phenolic resin as the binder,and adding alumina micropowder with mass percentages of 1%,3%,5%,7%,and 9%,respectively.The obtained green specimens were then cured at 200℃for 24 h and heat-treated at 950℃or 1550℃for 3 h.The effects of the alumina micropowder addition on the properties(including the apparent porosity,bulk density,cold compressive strength,cold modulus of rupture,hot modulus of rupture,and thermal shock resistance)as well as on the phase composition and microstructure of the low-carbon magnesia carbon specimens were investigated.The results show that the physical properties of the specimens are improved as the alumina micropowder addition increases,mainly due to the in-situ reaction between magnesia and alumina to form spinel,which enhances the bonding of the matrix and thus strengthens the overall bonding of the specimens.After the heat treatment at 1550℃,the bulk density,cold compressive strength,and cold modulus of rupture of the specimens first increase and then decrease with the increase of the alumina micropowder addition,reaching the optimal values when the addition is 7%.Both the linear change rate and volume change rate of the specimens increase with the increasing alumina micropowder addition.
