However, the enthalpies of most TRFsare not high, and the preparation methods are still at the laboratory scale. It remains a great challenge to use industrial spinning equipment to achieve continuous processing of TRF_(s) with excellent thermal and mechanical properties. Here, polyamide 6(PA6) based TRF_(s) with a sheath-core structure were prepared by bicomponent melt-spinning. The sheath-core TRF(TRF_(sc)) are composed of PA6 as sheath and functional PA6 as core, which are filled with the shape stable phase change materials(ssPCM),dendritic silica@polyethylene glycol(SiO_(2)@PEG). With the aid of the sheath structure, the filling content of SiO_(2)@PEG can reach 30 %, so that the enthalpy of the TRF_(s) can be as high as 21.3 J/g. The ultra-high enthalpy guarantees the temperature regulation ability during the alternating process of cooling and heating. In hot environment, the temperature regulation time is 6.59 min, and the temperature difference is 12.93℃. In addition, the mechanical strength of the prepared TRF_(sc) reaches 2.26 cN/dtex, which can fully meet its application in the field of thermal management textiles and devices to manage the temperature regulation of the human body or precision equipment, etc.展开更多

文摘Perovskite solar cells(PSCs)have emerged as promising photovoltaic technologies owing to their remarkable power conversion efficiency(PCE).However,heat accumulation under continuous illumination remains a critical bottleneck,severely affecting device stability and long-term operational performance.Herein,we present a multifunctional strategy by incorporating highly thermally conductive Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(X) MXene nanosheets into the perovskite layer to simultaneously enhance thermal management and optoelectronic properties.The Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(X) nanosheets,embedded at perovskite grain boundaries,construct efficient thermal conduction pathways,significantly improving the thermal conductivity and diffusivity of the film.This leads to a notable reduction in the device’s steady-state operating temperature from 42.96 to 39.97 under 100 mW cm^(−2) illumination,thereby alleviating heat-induced performance degradation.Beyond thermal regulation,Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(X),with high conductivity and negatively charged surface terminations,also serves as an effective defect passivation agent,reducing trap-assisted recombination,while simultaneously facilitating charge extraction and transport by optimizing interfacial energy alignment.As a result,the Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(X)-modified PSC achieve a champion PCE of 25.13%and exhibit outstanding thermal stability,retaining 80%of the initial PCE after 500 h of thermal aging at 85 and 30±5%relative humidity.(In contrast,control PSC retain only 58%after 200 h.)Moreover,under continuous maximum power point tracking in N2 atmosphere,Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(X)-modified PSC retained 70%of the initial PCE after 500 h,whereas the control PSC drop sharply to 20%.These findings highlight the synergistic role of Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(X) in thermal management and optoelectronic performance,paving the way for the development of high-efficiency and heat-resistant perovskite photovoltaics.

文摘Radiative cooling fabric creates a thermally comfortable environment without energy input,providing a sustainable approach to personal thermal management.However,most currently reported fabrics mainly focus on outdoor cooling,ignoring to achieve simultaneous cooling both indoors and outdoors,thereby weakening the overall cooling performance.Herein,a full-scale structure fabric with selective emission properties is constructed for simultaneous indoor and outdoor cooling.The fabric achieves 94%reflectance performance in the sunlight band(0.3–2.5μm)and 6%in the mid-infrared band(2.5–25μm),effectively minimizing heat absorption and radiation release obstruction.It also demonstrates 81%radiative emission performance in the atmospheric window band(8–13μm)and 25%radiative transmission performance in the mid-infrared band(2.5–25μm),providing 60 and 26 W m−2 net cooling power outdoors and indoors.In practical applications,the fabric achieves excellent indoor and outdoor human cooling,with temperatures 1.4–5.5℃ lower than typical polydimethylsiloxane film.This work proposes a novel design for the advanced radiative cooling fabric,offering significant potential to realize sustainable personal thermal management.

文摘Flexible phase change materials(PCMs)have become increasingly critical to address the demand for thermal management in electronic technologies and energy conversion.However,their application remains challenging because of their rigidity,liquid leakage,and insufficient thermal conductivity.Herein,flexible glutamic acid@natural rubber/paraffin wax(PW)/carbon nanotubes-graphene nanoplatelets(GNR/PW/CGNP)phase change composites with high thermal conductivity,excellent shape stability,and recyclability were reported.Zn^(2+)-based dynamic crosslinking was constructed through the reaction of zinc acetate and carboxyl groups on glutamic acid@natural rubber(GNR),which was used as a flexible matrix to physically blend with paraffin wax/carbon nanotubes/graphene nanoplatelets(PW/CGNP)to achieve uniform dispersion of PW/CGNP,continuous thermal conductivity networks,and good encapsulation of PW.The GNR/PW/CGNP composites showed excellent mechanical strength,flexibility,and recycling ability,and effective encapsulation prevented the outflow of melted PW during the phase transition.Also,the phase change enthalpy could attain 111.1 J/g with a higher thermal conductivity of 1.055 W/m K,428%higher than that of pure PW owing to the formation of efficient thermal conductive pathways,which exhibited outstanding thermal management performance and superior temperature control behavior in electronic devices.The developed flexible composite PCMs may open new possibilities for next-generation flexible thermal management electronics.

文摘To improve the thermal performance and temperature uniformity of battery pack,this paper presents a novel battery thermal management system(BTMS)that integrates oscillating heat pipe(OHP)technology with liquid cooling.The primary innovation of the new hybrid BTMS lies in the use of an OHP with vertically arranged evaporator and condenser,enabling dual heat transfer pathways through liquid cooling plate and OHP.This study experimentally investigates the performance characteristics of the⊥-shaped OHP and hybrid BTMS.Results show that lower filling ratios significantly enhance the OHP’s startup performance but reduce operational stability,with optimal performance achieved at a 26.1%filling ratio.Acetone,as a single working fluid,exhibited superior heat transfer performance under low-load conditions compared to mixed fluids,while the acetone/ethanol mixture,forming a non-azeotropic solution,minimized temperature fluctuations.At 100 W,the⊥-shaped OHP with a horizontally arranged evaporator demonstrated better heat transfer performance than 2D-OHP designs.Compared to a liquid BTMS using water coolant at 280 W,the hybrid BTMS reduced the equivalent thermal resistance(RBTMS)and maximum temperature difference(ΔTmax)by 8.06%and 19.1%,respectively.When graphene nanofluid was used as the coolant in hybrid BTMS,the battery pack’s average temperature(Tb)dropped from 52.2℃ to 47.9℃,with RBTMS andΔTmax decreasing by 20.1%and 32.7%,respectively.These findings underscore the hybrid BTMS’s suitability for high heat load applications,offering a promising solution for electric vehicle thermal management.

文摘High-temperature stealth is vital for enhancing the concealment,survivability,and longevity of critical assets.However,achieving stealth across multiple infrared bands—particularly in the short-wave infrared(SWIR)band—along with microwave stealth and efficient thermal management at high temperatures,remains a significant challenge.Here,we propose a strategy that integrates an IR-selective emitter(Mo/Si multilayer films)and a microwave metasurface(TiB2–Al2O3–TiB2)to enable multi-infrared band stealth,encompassing mid-wave infrared(MWIR),long-wave infrared(LWIR),and SWIR bands,and microwave(X-band)stealth at 700℃,with simultaneous radiative cooling in non-atmospheric window(5–8μm).At 700℃,the device exhibits low emissivity of 0.38/0.44/0.60 in the MWIR/LWIR/SWIR bands,reflection loss below−3 dB in the X-band(9.6–12 GHz),and high emissivity of 0.82 in 5–8μm range—corresponding to a cooling power of 9.57 kW m^(−2).Moreover,under an input power of 17.3 kW m^(−2)—equivalent to the aerodynamic heating at Mach 2.2—the device demonstrates a temperature reduction of 72.4℃ compared to a conventional low-emissivity molybdenum surface at high temperatures.This work provides comprehensive guidance on high-temperature stealth design,with far-reaching implications for multispectral information processing and thermal management in extreme high-temperature environments.

文摘Thermosyphon loops are widely used in cooling systems.However,such distributed thermal management systems lack the ability to actively control the coolant flow in each parallel branch.An effective method for addressing this is to control the coolant flow in each branch using a solenoid valve.However,the existing valves do not satisfy the requirements for fast switching,low power,low pressure loss,and miniaturization.Therefore,in this study,a low-power-consumption miniature solenoid valve(LMSV)is proposed for use in thermal management systems.The key novelty is that the valve is designed with a suitably sized permanent magnet(PM)to allow the spool to continue working without consuming electrical energy.To achieve low flow resistance,a straight-through design is employed in the valve with the electromagnetic actuator located inside the valve shell.Multiphysical coupling analysis is performed to investigate its performance.The influence of the PM dimensions and current on the magnetic field distribution and electromagnetic force is studied.The effects of these key parameters on the flow field and pressure loss are also analyzed.Because the LMSV is sensitive to temperature,the switching time and energy consumption at different working temperatures are investigated.Experimental test platforms are constructed.A valve switching time of as short as 3 ms,pressure loss of 200 Pa at 0.92 L/min,and energy consumption of approximately 1.55 J during the opening and closing processes are achieved.The novel solenoid valve proposed in this study offers fast switching,low power consumption,low pressure loss,and miniaturization to meet the requirements of thermal management systems.

文摘Thermal management system is highly desirable to guarantee the performance and thermal safety of lithium-ion batteries,but it reduces the energy density of battery modules and even is unable to provide highly effective protection.Here,a thermal management function integrated material is presented based on high-temperature resistant aerogel and phase change material and is applied at both charge–discharge process and thermal runaway condition.In this sandwich structure Paraffin@SiC nanowire/Aerogel sheet (denoted as PA@SAS) system,SiC nanowires endow the middle aerogel sheet (SAS) a dual nano-network structure.The enhanced mechanical properties of SAS were studied by compressive tests and dynamic mechanical analysis.Besides,the thermal conductivity of SAS at 600°C is only 0.042 W/(m K).The surface phase change material layers facilitate temperature uniformity of batteries (surface temperature difference less than 1.82°C) through latent heat.Moreover,a large-format battery module with four 58 Ah LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2LIBs was assembled.PA@SAS successfully prevents thermal runaway propagation,yielding a temperature gap of 602°C through the 2 mm-thick cross section.PA@SAS also exhibits excellent performance in other safety issues such as temperature rise rate,flame heat flux,etc.The lightweight property and effective insulation performance achieves significant safety enhancement with mass and volume energy density reduction of only 0.79%and 5.4%,respectively.The originality of the present research stems from the micro and macro structure design of the proposed thermal management material and the combination of intrinsic advantages of every component.This work provides a reliable design of achieving the integration of thermal management functions into an aerogel composite and improves the thermal safety of lithium-ion batteries.

文摘Developing technologies that can be applied simultaneously in battery thermal management(BTM)and thermal runaway(TR)mitigation is significant to improving the safety of lithium-ion battery systems.Inorganic phase change material(PCM)with nonflammability has the potential to achieve this dual function.This study proposed an encapsulated inorganic phase change material(EPCM)with a heat transfer enhancement for battery systems,where Na_(2)HPO_(4)·12H_(2)O was used as the core PCM encapsulated by silica and the additive of carbon nanotube(CNT)was applied to enhance the thermal conductivity.The microstructure and thermal properties of the EPCM/CNT were analyzed by a series of characterization tests.Two different incorporating methods of CNT were compared and the proper CNT adding amount was also studied.After preparation,the battery thermal management performance and TR propagation mitigation effects of EPCM/CNT were further investigated on the battery modules.The experimental results of thermal management tests showed that EPCM/CNT not only slowed down the temperature rising of the module but also improved the temperature uniformity during normal operation.The peak battery temperature decreased from 76℃to 61.2℃at 2 C discharge rate and the temperature difference was controlled below 3℃.Moreover,the results of TR propagation tests demonstrated that nonflammable EPCM/CNT with good heat absorption could work as a TR barrier,which exhibited effective mitigation on TR and TR propagation.The trigger time of three cells was successfully delayed by 129,474 and 551 s,respectively and the propagation intervals were greatly extended as well.

文摘Temperature regulating fibers(TRF_(s)) with high enthalpy and high form stability are the key factors for thermal management. However, the enthalpies of most TRFsare not high, and the preparation methods are still at the laboratory scale. It remains a great challenge to use industrial spinning equipment to achieve continuous processing of TRF_(s) with excellent thermal and mechanical properties. Here, polyamide 6(PA6) based TRF_(s) with a sheath-core structure were prepared by bicomponent melt-spinning. The sheath-core TRF(TRF_(sc)) are composed of PA6 as sheath and functional PA6 as core, which are filled with the shape stable phase change materials(ssPCM),dendritic silica@polyethylene glycol(SiO_(2)@PEG). With the aid of the sheath structure, the filling content of SiO_(2)@PEG can reach 30 %, so that the enthalpy of the TRF_(s) can be as high as 21.3 J/g. The ultra-high enthalpy guarantees the temperature regulation ability during the alternating process of cooling and heating. In hot environment, the temperature regulation time is 6.59 min, and the temperature difference is 12.93℃. In addition, the mechanical strength of the prepared TRF_(sc) reaches 2.26 cN/dtex, which can fully meet its application in the field of thermal management textiles and devices to manage the temperature regulation of the human body or precision equipment, etc.
