Copper-doped lead apatite, called LK-99, was initially claimed to be a room temperature superconductor driven by flat electron bands, but was later found to be a wide gap insulator. Despite the lack of room temperature superconductivity, there is growing evidence that LK-99 and related compounds host various strong electron correlation phenomena ar...
This work follows the AGR-like FHR ongoing research that proposes to adopt the British Advanced Gas cooled Reactor (AGR) geometry combined with the molten salt Fluoride-Cooled High Temperature Reactor (FHR) concept. This work presents the new models and material properties implemented in the TRANSURANUS code for Cr-doped UO fuel, which is one of th...
Peer reviewed: True / Publication status: Published / Funder: Kunlun Talent Project of Qinghai Province / This study explores the effects of the powder-to-liquid ratio on the performance characteristics of lost foam casting coatings. The investigation focuses on how variations in this ratio affect key properties, including apparent viscosity, shear...
Increasing access to water quality tests in low-income communities is a crucial strategy toward achieving global water equality. Recent studies in the Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) sector underscore the importance of addressing practical concerns in water testing, such as robustness and results communication. In response, we present the Water...
Peer reviewed: True / Publication status: Published / This study investigates the rheological properties and performance of coatings used in lost foam shell casting, focusing on the influence of mixing and standing times. The experimental procedure involved systematically preparing coatings by varying the mixing times (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 mi...
This study investigates a novel concept to coproduce high-purity H2 and syngas, which couples steam methane reforming with CaO carbonation to capture the generated CO2 and dry reforming of methane with CaCO3 calcination to directly utilize the captured CO2. The thermodynamic equilibrium of the reactive calcination stage was evaluated using Aspen Pl...
Publication status: Published / This study investigates the integration of ZnO nanoparticles into the MIL‐100(Fe) framework using atomic layer deposition (ALD) at atmospheric pressure, varying ALD cycles from 0.5 to 2. The goal is to enhance the photocatalytic efficiency of MIL‐100(Fe) in water splitting under ultraviolet light. Among the c...
Peer reviewed: True / Publication status: Published / To mitigate global warming, phasing out coal in the global energy system orderly and rapidly is an important near-term strategy. However, the majority of coal-fired plants in China have operated for less than 15 years. Accelerated coal power plant retirements would lead to substantial asset stra...
