A Strategy Inspired by the Cicada Shedding Its Skin for Synthesizing the Natural Material NaFe₃S₅·2H₂O

Sulfide minerals hold significant importance in both fundamental science and industrial advancement. However, certain natural sulfide minerals, such as NaFe₃S₅·2H₂O (NFS), pose great challenges for exploitation and synthesis due to their high susceptibility to oxidation. To date, no successful precedent exists...

Optimization of adaptive metal foam arrangement in a heat storage tank

The integration of phase change materials (PCMs) and metal foam has been widely concerned recently. To decrease non-uniformity of uniform metal foam-PCMs, adaptive metal foam arrangement strategy with increasing porosity from inside to outside has attracted widespread attention. This work conducted a symmetric simulation model of vertical...
