The integration of nanotechnology into phase change materials (PCMs) has substantially advanced thermal energy storage and thermoregulation technologies across diverse sectors, including building construction, electronics cooling, smart textiles, and renewable energy systems. This review provides a comprehensive and critical synthesis of recent progress in nano-enhanced phase change materials (NePCMs), focusing on how nanomaterial incorporation modifies thermophysical behavior, durability, and application performance. Various nanomaterials—such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, and metal oxides are examined for their roles in enhancing thermal conductivity, regulating phase transition kinetics, and improving overall energy efficiency. Compared with conventional PCMs, NePCMs demonstrate markedly improved performance, with reported thermal conductivity enhancements of 20–160 % at nanoparticle loadings of 0.1–5 wt.%, while maintaining latent heat reductions within an acceptable range of <10–15 %. Hybrid nanomaterials and advanced encapsulation strategies, including in-situ polymerization and silica shell encapsulation, enable 10–30 % reductions in melting and solidification times and 30–70 % suppression of supercooling, alongside enhanced leakage resistance. Long-term reliability is evidenced by > 90–95 % latent heat retention after 200–500 thermal cycles. For thermoregulation applications, system-level energy efficiency improvements of 10–25 % are reported within operating temperature windows of 20–200 °C. Despite these advances, critical challenges persist, including nanoparticle agglomeration, increased viscosity, scalability constraints, material cost escalation of 10–40 %, and unresolved environmental and health concerns. This review also evaluates emerging applications in smart textiles, electronics, temperature-controlled packaging, and solar thermal systems, highlighting the cross-sector potential of NePCMs. Furthermore, it addresses sustainability considerations, emphasizing lifecycle assessment, green synthesis, and risk mitigation strategies. Novel insights into artificial intelligence-assisted property prediction and material optimization are discussed. Overall, this work provides a quantitatively benchmarked, application-driven roadmap for the sustainable development and industrial deployment of next-generation NePCMs.

Copper, despite its favorable frictional and thermal properties, poses significant environmental concerns, which necessitate the development of sustainable alternatives. In this study, the tribological performance of low-metallic copper-free brake pads reinforced with steel fibers was investigated using a Chase friction testing machine in accordance with the SAE J661 standard. Low-metallic brake pad friction composites reinforced with 10–30 wt% steel fibers were fabricated using hot molding as a manufacturing step. The composites were formed under heat and pressure and subsequently post-cured to obtain the final friction materials. The samples were evaluated for normal and hot friction coefficients and wear rate. To evaluate the mechanical integrity of the brake pad composites, shear strength testing was also performed. By eliminating copper and focusing on frictional stability at different temperatures in steel fiber-reinforced formulations, this method enables accurate and reproducible simulation of real-world braking conditions within a controlled laboratory environment. This approach offers a standardized framework for optimizing environmentally friendly friction materials for automotive applications. The results demonstrated that the formulation containing 15 wt% steel fiber exhibited the most balanced performance, showing a high hot friction coefficient (0.468) and normal friction coefficient of 0.439, indicating consistent friction behavior with low sensitivity to operating conditions, which is regarded as an acceptable coefficient of friction under normal braking conditions. Moreover, this formulation presented the lowest wear rate (4.236 %) and excellent thermal stability. These findings indicate that replacing copper with steel fiber reinforcement can maintain reliable frictional performance and durability, offering an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional copper-based brake pads.
尽管铜具有良好的摩擦和热性能,但它也带来了严重的环境问题,这就需要开发可持续的替代品。采用SAE J661标准的Chase摩擦试验机,对钢纤维增强低金属无铜刹车片的摩擦学性能进行了研究。采用热成型工艺制备了10-30 wt%钢纤维增强的低金属刹车片摩擦复合材料。复合材料在加热和压力下形成,随后进行后固化以获得最终的摩擦材料。测试了试样的法向摩擦系数和热摩擦系数以及磨损率。为了评估刹车片复合材料的力学完整性,还进行了抗剪强度试验。通过消除铜元素,并专注于钢纤维增强配方在不同温度下的摩擦稳定性,该方法可以在受控的实验室环境中精确再现真实制动条件的模拟。这种方法为优化汽车应用的环保摩擦材料提供了一个标准化的框架。结果表明,含15 wt%钢纤维的配方表现出最平衡的性能,热摩擦系数高(0.468),法向摩擦系数0.439,表明摩擦性能一致,对工况敏感性低,在正常制动工况下可以接受摩擦系数。此外,该配方具有最低的磨损率(4.236 %)和优异的热稳定性。这些研究结果表明,用钢纤维增强代替铜可以保持可靠的摩擦性能和耐久性,为传统的铜基刹车片提供了一种环保的替代品。

An integrated Analytic Hierarchy Process–Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (AHP–TOPSIS) framework is developed to support renewable energy planning in low-carbon port cities, with explicit attention to marine-pollution mitigation. The approach is applied to Ningbo–Zhoushan Port, China, using a criteria system organised into four main groups and twelve sub-criteria. Judgements from 50 experts indicate that environmental and marine-pollution impacts (weight = 0.36) dominate over technical performance (0.24), social/policy acceptance (0.22), and economic feasibility (0.18), with emission reduction and marine-pollution pressure together accounting for almost 0.29 of the total weight. Combining these weights with normalised performance scores, TOPSIS identifies offshore wind farms (closeness coefficient = 0.83) and hybrid systems with storage and hydrogen-readiness (0.80) as the most suitable options for Ningbo–Zhoushan, followed by coastal onshore wind and port-area solar photovoltaic. At the same time, waste-to-energy/biomass CHP ranks lowest. Scenario analysis confirms the robustness of these findings under varying environmental, cost, and reliability priorities, highlighting portfolios centred on offshore wind and hybrid systems as key to reducing port-related emissions and pressures on coastal waters.
为了支持低碳港口城市的可再生能源规划,并明确关注海洋污染缓解,开发了一个集成的层次分析法-理想解决方案相似性排序偏好技术(AHP-TOPSIS)框架。该方法应用于中国宁波-舟山港,使用的标准系统分为四个主要组和十二个子标准。来自50位专家的判断表明,环境和海洋污染影响(权重 = 0.36)超过了技术性能(0.24)、社会/政策接受度(0.22)和经济可行性(0.18),减排和海洋污染压力合计占总权重的近0.29。将这些权重与标准化性能得分相结合,TOPSIS确定海上风电场(接近系数 = 0.83)和具有存储和氢准备(0.80)的混合系统是宁波-舟山最适合的选择,其次是沿海陆上风能和港区太阳能光伏。与此同时,废物发电/生物质热电联产排名最低。情景分析证实了这些发现在不同环境、成本和可靠性优先级下的稳健性,强调了以海上风电和混合动力系统为中心的投资组合是减少港口相关排放和沿海水域压力的关键。

Alveolar bone defects with insufficient bone mass, caused by trauma, tumors, congenital disorders, and periodontal inflammation, severely hinder natural tooth preservation and dental implantation, a key challenge in modern oral medicine. Guided bone regeneration(GBR) using barrier membranes is an essential strategy and standard clinical procedure to improve the efficiency of alveolar bone tissue repair. Both non-absorbable and absorbable membranes have good biocompatibility and can serve as barriers. However, they generally suffer from issues such as single structural design, weak mechanical properties, rapid degradation, poor antibacterial ability, and inadequate biological functions. In recent years, to overcome the various problems associated with existing commercial barrier membranes, researchers have optimized the components and controlled the structure of barrier membranes to develop multifunctional barrier membranes suitable for bone tissue regeneration. This review first outlines the common strategies for preparing GBR barrier membranes, their characteristics, and their classification. It also provides a detailed summary of the progress of research on new biomimetic barrier membranes as multifunctional platforms for repairing alveolar bone defects in biomedical engineering. Finally, it summarizes the challenges that multifunctional barrier membranes need to overcome and future development trends, laying a solid foundation for the research and clinical translation of GBR barrier membranes.
创伤、肿瘤、先天性疾病、牙周炎症等引起的牙槽骨缺损严重阻碍了牙齿的自然保存和种植,是现代口腔医学面临的一个关键挑战。利用屏障膜引导骨再生(GBR)是提高牙槽骨组织修复效率的必要策略和标准临床操作。不可吸收膜和可吸收膜都具有良好的生物相容性,可以作为屏障。但它们普遍存在结构设计单一、力学性能弱、降解快、抗菌能力差、生物功能不足等问题。近年来,为了克服现有商用屏障膜存在的各种问题,研究人员对屏障膜的成分进行了优化,并对其结构进行了控制,开发出适合骨组织再生的多功能屏障膜。本文首先概述了制备GBR屏障膜的常用策略,它们的特性和分类。综述了新型仿生屏障膜作为修复牙槽骨缺损的多功能平台在生物医学工程中的研究进展。最后总结了多功能屏障膜需要克服的挑战和未来的发展趋势,为GBR屏障膜的研究和临床转化奠定了坚实的基础。

This study investigates the oxidation of methane (CH4) on platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) ion-doped cerium dioxide (CeO2) catalysts through a multidisciplinary methodology that integrates continuous-flow experimental observations, density functional theory (DFT) modelling, and micro-kinetic analysis. Incorporating Pt or Pd in ionic form into the CeO2 reduces the CH4 oxidation by approximately 100∼150 K compared to undoped CeO2. Under fuel-lean conditions, the reaction kinetics are predominantly influenced by CH4 concentration, exhibiting first-order kinetics, while the dependence on O2 is zero-order. DFT calculations reveal that CH4 dehydrogenation proceeds via hydrogen extraction from surface lattice oxygen, with the doping species facilitating increased reactivity between carbon atoms and lattice oxygen, thus generating carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The energy profiles obtained from DFT indicate that the rate-limiting steps involve the initial dehydrogenation of CH4 and water formation through surface lattice oxygen extraction.
本研究通过多学科方法研究了甲烷(CH4)在铂(Pt)和钯(Pd)离子掺杂的二氧化铈(CeO2)催化剂上的氧化反应,该方法集成了连续流实验观察、密度泛函数理论(DFT)建模和微动力学分析。与未掺杂的CeO2相比,将离子形式的Pt或Pd掺入CeO2中可使CH4氧化降低约100 ~ 150 K。在低燃料条件下,反应动力学主要受CH4浓度的影响,表现为一级动力学,而对O2的依赖为零级动力学。DFT计算表明,CH4脱氢是通过从表面晶格氧中提取氢进行的,掺杂物质促进了碳原子与晶格氧之间的反应性增强,从而产生一氧化碳(CO)和二氧化碳(CO2)。由DFT得到的能量谱表明,反应的限速步骤包括CH4的初始脱氢和通过表面晶格抽氧生成水。

The persistence of endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) such as bisphenol A (BPA) in aquatic environments necessitates the development of efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective treatment strategies. In this study, a multifunctional photocatalyst composed of nickel oxide (NiO), nickel hydroxide [Ni(OH)2], and metallic nickel (Ni0) supported on sulfonated carbon-rich bentonite (SB) was synthesized via a low-temperature, calcination-free route. The fabrication process—comprising acid activation, ion exchange, and mild chemical reduction—preserves hydroxide-layered structures while integrating redox-active and light-responsive phases within a hierarchically porous clay matrix. The resulting NiO/Ni(OH)2@SB composite demonstrated outstanding photocatalytic performance under visible light. Complete degradation and mineralization of BPA (5 mg/L) were achieved within 20 and 60 min, respectively using 0.5 g/L catalyst. Kinetic modeling confirmed pseudo-first-order behavior (k1 = 0.2177 min−1), while quantum yield analysis indicated high photon-to-reactivity efficiency (Φ = 3.32 × 10−7). Mechanistic studies revealed that photogenerated •OH and •O2 radicals—amplified by Ni2+/Ni3+ redox cycling and Ni0/NiO Schottky junctions—drive the oxidative degradation pathway. The sulfonated bentonite support enhances pollutant adsorption, interfacial contact, and dispersion of the active phases. The catalyst exhibited remarkable structural integrity and reusability, maintaining >90 % of its initial activity after six consecutive cycles, with negligible Ni leaching (<0.001 mg/L). This work offers a scalable and environmentally benign strategy for solar-assisted remediation of phenolic micropollutants. The design principles established herein provide a blueprint for developing next-generation clay-supported photocatalysts targeting a wide range of emerging contaminants in real-world wastewater matrices.
水生环境中持续存在的内分泌干扰化合物(EDCs),如双酚A (BPA),需要开发高效、可持续和具有成本效益的治疗策略。本研究采用低温、免煅烧的方法,在磺化富碳膨润土(SB)上合成了由氧化镍(NiO)、氢氧化镍[Ni(OH)2]和金属镍(Ni0)组成的多功能光催化剂。该工艺包括酸活化、离子交换和温和的化学还原,保留了氢氧化物层状结构,同时将氧化还原活性和光响应相整合在分层多孔粘土基质中。所得NiO/Ni(OH)2@SB复合材料在可见光下表现出优异的光催化性能。在0.5 g/L催化剂的作用下,BPA(5 mg/L)的降解和矿化分别在20和60 min内完成。动力学模型证实了伪一阶行为(k1 = 0.2177 min−1),而量子产率分析表明了高的光子反应效率(Φ = 3.32 × 10−7)。机理研究表明,由Ni2+/Ni3+氧化还原循环和Ni0/NiO肖特基结放大的光生成•OH和•O2−自由基驱动氧化降解途径。磺化膨润土载体增强了污染物的吸附、界面接触和活性相的分散。该催化剂表现出显著的结构完整性和可重复使用性,在连续6次循环后仍保持初始活性的>;90 %,镍浸出(<0.001 mg/L)可以忽略不计。这项工作为太阳能辅助修复酚类微污染物提供了一种可扩展和环保的策略。本文建立的设计原则为开发下一代粘土负载光催化剂提供了蓝图,该催化剂针对现实世界废水基质中广泛出现的污染物。

In the life cycle assessment (LCA) of concrete, it is essential to consider the service life, mechanical properties, and end-of-life scenarios to obtain accurate results, especially in the case of comparing geopolymer concretes with ordinary concrete. In this study, a conceptual framework was designed to produce circular concretes based on the main principals of circular economy. Then, a comparative economic and environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) was performed to evaluate the sustainability potential of circular geopolymer concrete (CGPC), geopolymer concrete (GPC), and circular ordinary concrete (COC), as alternatives to Portland cement concrete (PCC), using analytical hierarchy process (AHP). The results showed that using GPC and CGPC significantly alleviated the environmental impacts of cement production, such that they reduced the global warming potential (GWP) by about 69 %. The environmental burdens of CGPC were slightly higher than GPC in all midpoint (<5 %) and endpoint (<2 %) levels. The minimum life cycle cost was related to PCC, and then GPC, CGPC, and COC had higher life cycle costs than PCC with relative total cost of 1.08, 1.14, and 1.18, respectively. According to the multi-criteria decision making and final scores from AHP model, GPC and CGPC performed the best in the sustainability assessment, respectively, with a marginal difference, whereas COC performed the worst.
在混凝土的生命周期评估(LCA)中,为了获得准确的结果,特别是在将地聚合物混凝土与普通混凝土进行比较的情况下,必须考虑使用寿命、力学性能和寿命终止情况。在本研究中,基于循环经济的主要原则,设计了一个概念框架来生产循环混凝土。然后,采用层次分析法(AHP)对圆形地聚合物混凝土(CGPC)、圆形地聚合物混凝土(GPC)和圆形普通混凝土(COC)作为波特兰水泥混凝土(PCC)替代品的可持续性潜力进行了比较经济和环境生命周期评价(LCA)。结果表明,使用GPC和CGPC显著缓解了水泥生产对环境的影响,使全球变暖潜能值(GWP)降低了约69% %。在所有中点(<5 %)和终点(<2 %)水平上,CGPC的环境负担略高于GPC。最小生命周期成本与PCC相关,GPC、CGPC和COC的生命周期成本高于PCC,其相对总成本分别为1.08、1.14和1.18。根据多准则决策和AHP模型的最终得分,GPC和CGPC分别在可持续性评估中表现最佳,差异不大,而COC表现最差。

Bacterial cellulose is a water-insoluble polysaccharide, and is gaining increasing attention for its high purity and ultra-fine network structure. It has been widely used in food, biomedicine, and many other industries. However, low microbial productivity and high fermentation bioreactor costs primarily limit its production and application. It could be the limited efficient breeding of high-yielding strains and the understanding of its biosynthesis mechanism. Metabolic engineering and genetic engineering reveal the molecular structure of bacterial cellulose-specific, and its molecular theories for biosynthesis in vivo, transport and supramolecular assembly in vitro. The high-yield strains, and the bacterial cellulose of structural and functional performance, can be regulated by effective breeding, genetics, metabolism modifications. Owing to recent progress in genomics and metabolism, different bacterial strains are designed by overexpression or knockdown, for both increasing its productivity and improving key properties such as mechanical strength and thermal stability. This review comprehensively evaluates the breeding methods of bacterial cells, and how biosynthesis, regulation, and application are governed at the molecular scale. It further discusses the bottlenecks of its production, both by analyzing the characteristics of high-yield strains and combining traditional methods with genetic engineering to regulate its biosynthesis and secretion. Overall, this review provides an updated and clear understanding of the bacterial cellulose synthesis network for production and modification, and it provides valuable ideas for continuous bacterial cellulose-related research and ultimately for its effective production.
细菌纤维素是一种不溶于水的多糖,因其高纯度和超细的网状结构而受到越来越多的关注。它已被广泛应用于食品、生物医药和许多其他行业。然而,微生物产量低和发酵生物反应器成本高是制约其生产和应用的主要因素。这对高产菌株的有限高效选育及其生物合成机制的了解具有重要意义。代谢工程和基因工程揭示了细菌纤维素特异性的分子结构及其在体内生物合成、转运和体外超分子组装的分子理论。高产菌株以及细菌纤维素的结构和功能性能可以通过有效的育种、遗传和代谢修饰来调节。由于基因组学和代谢学的最新进展,不同的细菌菌株通过过表达或敲低来设计,以提高其生产力和改善机械强度和热稳定性等关键性能。本文综述了细菌细胞的育种方法,以及如何在分子尺度上进行生物合成、调控和应用。通过分析高产菌株的特点,结合传统方法和基因工程技术调控其生物合成和分泌,进一步探讨其生产的瓶颈。综上所述,本文对细菌纤维素的合成网络进行了更新和清晰的认识,为细菌纤维素的持续研究和最终的有效生产提供了有价值的思路。

Building materials can act as carbon sequestration agents by capturing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and enhancing their performance. This represents a promising approach to reducing the carbon footprint of the construction industry and mitigating the greenhouse effect through CO2 utilization. However, gypsum-based materials tend to show a decline in performance after carbonation, a challenge that remains unresolved in current research. This study is the first to utilize the unique properties of basic oxygen furnace slag (BOFS), which is a type of steel slag waste, to address this issue. A comprehensive evaluation was conducted on bulk density, compressive strength, water resistance, water absorption, porosity, and environmental impact, complemented by advanced analytical techniques, including TGA, SEM, and XRD, to gain deeper insights into the underlying reaction mechanisms. The findings reveal that incorporating BOFS into gypsum-based materials and activating the system with an alkaline activator mitigated deterioration after carbonation while maintaining effective CO2 sequestration. The results indicated that adding 20 % BOFS to gypsum-based blocks with a water-to-binder ratio of 0.20 generated sufficient carbonation products (CaCO3 and SiO2-rich gel) after carbonation. These products effectively filled the internal pores of the specimens and induced subsequent hydration reactions, further improving their compressive strength and water resistance. Furthermore, based on life cycle assessment, these specimens achieved an ideal CO2 uptake of 32 kg CO2 eq per ton, reducing the global warming potential by 94.5 % compared to carbonated cement-based materials. This greener carbon sequestration agent offered promising potential for advancing sustainable building materials.
建筑材料可以作为碳固存剂,通过捕获大气中的二氧化碳(CO2)并提高其性能。这是一种很有前途的方法,可以减少建筑行业的碳足迹,并通过利用二氧化碳来减轻温室效应。然而,石膏基材料在碳化后往往表现出性能下降的趋势,这是目前研究中尚未解决的挑战。本研究首次利用碱性氧炉渣这一钢渣废弃物的独特性质来解决这一问题。对材料的容重、抗压强度、耐水性、吸水率、孔隙度和环境影响进行了综合评价,并结合TGA、SEM和XRD等先进的分析技术,对潜在的反应机理进行了更深入的研究。研究结果表明,将BOFS加入石膏基材料并用碱性活化剂激活系统可以减轻碳化后的劣化,同时保持有效的二氧化碳封存。结果表明,在水胶比为0.20的石膏基砌块中加入20 % BOFS,碳化后可产生充足的碳化产物(CaCO3和富sio2凝胶)。这些产物有效地填充了试件内部的孔隙,引发了后续的水化反应,进一步提高了试件的抗压强度和抗水性。此外,基于生命周期评估,这些样品达到了每吨32 千克二氧化碳当量的理想二氧化碳吸收量,与碳化水泥基材料相比,将全球变暖潜势降低了94.5% %。这种绿色固碳剂为推进可持续建筑材料提供了巨大的潜力。
