2D Nanomaterials as Emerging Solid-State Tribology Materials
Tribology is defined as the science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative motion, which can cover friction, wear and lubrication. Tribology has become an interdisciplinary area which includes materials, chemistry, physics, mechanics and even biology. The phenomena of tribology should be inevitably understood and controlled in any situation...

High Performance Organic Thermoelectric Materials and Devices
Organic semiconductors have gained significant attention as potential thermoelectric materials due to their inherently low thermal conductivity and the potential for low-cost production through low-temperature processing methods. In the field of organic thermoelectrics (OTEs), substantial progress has been made in both material development and device...

Creative Thinking
Which will freeze first, water at 90 or 18 Celsius degrees? Hot water comes first! The fact that hot water freezes faster than cold water under the same conditions was experimentally revealed. This fact was known by the ancient Greek philosopher, Aristotle in the 4th century BC. This...

Design Factors for All-Solid-State Batteries Employing Deformable Inorganic Solid Electrolytes
The increasing safety concerns and the escalating demands for higher energy density in lithium-ion batteries necessitate a transition from flammable organic liquid electrolytes with inorganic solid electrolytes (SEs). Several characteristics are crucial for SEs to be integrated into practical all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs); prominent among these...

Disruptive Sustainable Technologies for the Plastics and Fuels Industry
Biomass is the only practical low-carbon feedstock that can be used to produce non-fossil sustainable fuels, chemicals, and materials. Several attempts have been made to commercialize thermal-catalytic biomass valorization. These approaches have not been commercialized because: 1) biomass is a distributed feedstock that has low...
