Flexible thin-film generators are a great promising energy source for wearable device applications. In this work, Al-doped Cu2Se thin film with highly (0l0) preferred orientation was achieved by magnetron co-sputtering deposition. It possessed high ZT value of 0.76 at 275 °C, and further surface organic component coating treatment resulted in its e...

Polysaccharides, even non-ionic ones, swell in water with potentially huge pressure, which can be sources of intended actuation or a cause of structural damage. The swelling pressure has been investigated since the 19th century, and thermodynamic considerations developed at the beginning of the 20th century. Such treatment is revisited with current...
Triethylamine borane (TEAB) complex was studied as a potential precursor for the thermal low pressure chemical vapour deposition (LPCVD) of pure crystalline sp2-hybridised BN. In particular, its thermal decomposition with or without ammonia was characterised from thermodynamic and experimental points of view in the temperature ranges 400–2000 °C an...
Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) is one of the mitigation approaches that can be used to control CO2 emissions into the atmosphere and to limit global warming. The CO2 stream injected underground may contain small amounts of associated gaseous components such as SO2. One of the key parameters needed to predict the physical and chemica...
We report the synthesis of a series pseudo-1D coordination polymer (CP) materials with formula FeyCo1-yBTT (BTT = 1,3,5-benzenetrithiolate). These were structurally characterized by PXRD Rietveld, EXAFS, and PDF analyses, revealing that CP superstructure enables continuous isomorphous alloy between two homometallic compounds. Lower Fe loadings exhi...

For more than twenty years, IFP Energies Nouvelles has been developing the thermodynamic library Carnot. While devoted to the origin of the oil and gas industry, Carnot is now focused on applications related to the new technologies of energy for an industry emphasizing decarbonization and sustainability, such as CCUS, biomass, geothermal, hydrogen,...

Slurries of gas hydrates, especially mixed hydrates of CO2 and TBPB (Tetra-n-Butyl Phosphonium Bromide), are currently under consideration for secondary refrigeration. Secondary refrigeration circuits contain wide sections where the two-phase slurry (solid + liquid), separated from the gas phase, undergoes transformations that would if gas were pre...
