| 1 | Materials,fundamentals,and technologies of liquid metals toward carbon neutrality显示文摘Carbon-neutral technologies are critical to ensure a stable future climate.Currently,low-melting-point liquid metals are emerging rapidly as important energy materials with significant potential to contribute to carbon neutrality.The advantages of gallium-and bismuth-based liquid metals,such as their high fluidity,low melting point,high thermal/electrical conductivity,unique chemical properties,non-flammability,and nontoxic characteristics,render them highly attractive for the development of advanced carbon-neutral technologies.Although their significance in both academia and industry has increased gradually,to the best of our knowledge,a systematic monograph of liquid-metal materials,mechanisms,and technologies toward carbon neutrality is not yet available.Therefore,we presented a comprehensive review of low-melting-point liquid metals for carbon neutrality.First,liquid-metal materials,including fluids,pastes,solids,and their composites were introduced.Subsequently,the mechanisms of liquid-metal technologies used to achieve carbon neutrality were interpreted.Finally,typical liquid-metal applications of carbon neutrality in the power,industry,transport,and building sectors were presented.Both the fundamental mechanisms and promising technologies were elaborated upon,and the critical assessment criteria for carbon-neutral technologies were discussed.The scientific and technical challenges and future perspectives in these areas were also highlighted. | DENG YueGuang E ErTai LI Jing JIANG Yi MEI ShengFu YU Yang | 2023 | Science China(Technological Sciences)2023,66,6: | 0 |
| 2 | Emerging roles of liquid metals in carbon neutrality显示文摘In September 2020,China committed to peaking its carbon dioxide emission before 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality before 2060.China,as one of the largest energyconsuming and carbon-emitting nation in the world,contri-butes to approximately one-third of the worlcfs carbon dioxide emissions.In 2020,the total equivalent carbon dioxide emission in China was approximately 13 Gt,including 11 Gt from the energy industry.The primary sources of carbon emissions include power and heat generation,industry. | Yueguang Deng Jing Li Ertai E | 2022 | Frontiers in Energy2022,16,3: | 0 |
