Nanotechnology introduces unprecedented research opportunities in various energy and environment related applications.

In this issue, Xiao et al. (10.30919/esmm5f237) reviewed the recent studies on thermal transport within periodic porous films, 2D materials, and 3D structures. These materials have been widely studied in recent years for potential applications in thermoelectric energy conversion and thermal management. When heat can be manipulated as waves instead of particlelike phonons, existing studies on acoustic/optics can be extended to thermal applications.

纳米技术在各种能源和环境相关的应用中引入了前所未有的研究机会。本期《ES材料与制造》包含许多有趣的论文，展示了这一重要研究方向的潜在发展，从基础物理、材料合成到新型器件应用。热作为最普遍存在的能量形式，从人类历史开始就被使用，热科学仍然是一个充满活力的领域，在纳米材料中有新的可能性。在这期论文中，Xiao等人(10.30919/esmm5f237)综述了近年来关于周期性多孔膜、二维材料和三维结构内部热输运的研究。近年来，这些材料在热电能量转换和热管理方面的潜在应用得到了广泛的研究。当热可以被操纵为波而不是粒子声子时，现有的声学/光学研究可以扩展到热应用。本文主要讨论了这种“声子晶体”的挑战和局限性，类似于光操纵的“光子晶体”。除了材料开发之外，新的测量技术对热研究也至关重要。Wang等人(10.30919/esmm5f239)提出了一种改进的稳态热丝法，可以在不知道微丝导热系数的情况下表征微丝的对流换热系数。这项技术可以潜在地用于微尺度到纳米尺度的对流研究。对于大规模生产的材料，由于所采用的合成技术，需要非常重视过程-结构-性能的关系。Mitkari和Ubale (10.30919/esmm5f231)利用SILAR方法在非晶玻璃衬底上生长了纳米结构的CoS薄膜。这些薄膜呈六边形结构，其电阻率和活化能与厚度有关。对于热电学，Artini等人(10.30919/esmm5f221)改变了用于火花等离子烧结填充方毛石的施加压力。对Sm (Fe Ni) Sb y x 1-x 4 12样品的功率因数进行了检查

There are abundant mechanical energy available in low frequency range, which can be directly converted into electricity using piezoelectric energy harvester. However, very few piezoelectric energy harvester have high conversion efficiency at low frequency range. This study aims to develop an efficient piezoelectric nanogenerator which can be used in low frequency range for energy harvesting applications using PVDF polymers. The feasibility of using PVDF device for energy harvesting was assessed by using a mechanical vibration setup. In addition, the effect of both amplitude and frequency on the voltage output of the PVDF energy harvester has been studied. According to the results, the optimized frequency range for the device was found to be 45 Hz. The results indicated that the voltage output starts to decay at a higher frequency which can be due to the insufficient time for the PVDF nanofiber to be recovered from the induced strain. The variation of the amplitude has a great influence on the voltage output of the piezoelectric device. The voltage output of the PVDF device is enhanced with increasing the amplitude due to the higher amount of induced strain. In fact, the amount of induced strain is the primary source of the available mechanical energy which can be fed into the piezoelectric device to be converted to the electrical energy. The results clearly show that both frequency and amplitude can affect the voltage output of the piezoelectric device.

Tailoring thermal properties with nanostructured materials can be of vital importance for many applications. Generally classical phonon size effects are employed to reduce the thermal conductivity, where strong phonon scattering by nanostructured interfaces or boundaries can dramatically supress the heat conduction. When these boundaries or interfaces are arranged in a periodic pattern, coherent phonons may have interference and modify the phonon dispersion, leading to dramatically reduced thermal conductivity. Such coherent phonon transport has been widely studied for superlattice films and recently emphasized for periodic nanoporous patterns. Although the wave effects have been proposed for reducing the thermal conductivity, more recent experimental evidence shows that such effects can only be critical at an ultralow temperature, i.e., around 10 K or below. At room temperature, the impacted phonons are mostly restricted to hypersonic modes that contribute little to the thermal conductivity. In this review, the theoretical and experimental studies of periodic porous structures are summarized and compared. The general applications of periodic nanostructured materials are further discussed.

In present study we have synthesized highly crystalline hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si:H) thin films by hot wire method. The obtained thin films were characterized by using low angle-XRD, Raman spectroscopy, non-contact atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM) and UV-Visible spectroscopy. The low angle-XRD analysis revealed that the obtained nc-Si:H thin films are polycrystalline and have preferred orientation along (111) direction. Formation of nc-Si:H films are further confirmed by Raman spectroscopy analysis. The UV-Visible spectroscopy analysis showed that the synthesized films have sharp absorption edge in visible region and has direct band gap of 1. 94 eV. Finally, nc-Si:H based photo-detector have been prepared at optimized process parameters which show an excellent response time (1.79 s) and

The convection plays a very important role in heat transfer when MEMS work under air environment. However, traditional measurements of convection heat transfer coefficient require the knowledge of thermal conductivity, which makes measurements complex. In this work, a modified steady state "hot wire" (MSSHW) method is proposed, which can measure the heat transfer coefficient of microwires' convection without the knowledge of thermal conductivity. To verify MSSHW method, the convection heat transfer coefficient of platinum microwires was measured in the atmosphere, whose value is in good agreement with values by both traditional measurement methods and empirical equations. Then, the convection heat transfer coefficient of microwires with different materials and diameters were measured by MSSHW. It is found that the convection heat transfer coefficient of microwire is not sensitive on materials, while it increases from 86 W/(m$^2$K) to 427 W/(m$^2$K) with the diameter of microwires decreasing from 120 ${mu}$m to 20 ${mu}$m. Without knowing thermal conductivity of microwires, the MSSHW method provides a more convenient way to measure the convective effect.

In this paper, we report a facile one-pot synthesis method to prepare well dispersed silver nanoparticles (NPs) supported on α -zirconium phosphate ( α- ZrP) single-layer nanosheets. Silver NPs with a narrow size distribution were reduced on α- ZrP single-layer nanosheet surface due to the electrostatic attractions between the positively charged silver cations and the negatively charged α- ZrP nanosheet support. Three + reducing agents: glucose, NaBH , and tri-sodium citrate were used to reduce Ag . Transmission electron micrographs show that the reduced 4 silver NPs were well dispersed with a diameter of 18.3 ± 4.4 nm, 48.9 ± 13.8 nm, and 3.5 ± 1.0 nm when reduced by glucose, NaBH , and tri- 4 sodium citrate, respectively. Overall, we present a facile method to synthesize Ag NPs with various dimensions for widespread applications.
