A comprehensive physical model for the sensitivity of silicon heterojunction photovoltaic modules to water ingress

Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Olatz Arriaga Arruti, Luca Gnocchi

Silicon heterojunction (SHJ)-solar modules-when encapsulated with ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA)-are known to be extremely sensitive to water ingress. The reason for this is, however, not clear. Here, we explain the root causes of this degradation mechanism ...

Inter- and intra-individual variability in CO2 production and metabolic rate

Dolaana Khovalyg, Mohamad Rida

Carbon dioxide generated by the human body and exhaled (VCO2) is commonly used for ventilation controls, while the metabolic rate (i.e., energy expenditure EE) is an important parameter defining human thermal comfort in buildings. These two parameters are ...

Effect of alkali hydroxide on calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H)

Karen Scrivener, Barbara Lothenbach, Yu Yan, Émilie Michèle L'Hôpital, Sheng-Yu Yang

This paper investigates the effect of KOH and NaOH on C-S-H structure and solubility. Both KOH and NaOH have a similar effect, they increase pH values and silicon concentrations, and decrease calcium concentrations. At higher alkali hydroxide concentration ...

Factors affecting the reactivity of slag at early and late ages

Karen Scrivener, Yosra Briki, Mohsen Ben Haha

This study investigates the difference between the reactivity of slag in NaOH solution (w/s = 100) and in cement paste (w/b = 0.4). The reactivity of slag is much higher in NaOH solution than in cement paste. When the NaOH solution is saturated with portla ...

The effect of sodium hydroxide on Al uptake by calcium silicate hydrates (C S H)

Christian Ludwig, Barbara Lothenbach, Sonya Barzgar, Mohamed Tarik, Alessio Di Giacomo

To reduce the CO2 emissions from cement production, Portland cement (PC) is partially replaced by supplementary cementitious materials (SCM). Reactions of SCM with PC during hydration leads to the formation of CSH with more silicon and aluminum than in PC, ...

Evaluation of Total Reactive Oxide Ratios and Working Solution Ratios on Strength Development in Fly Ash-Based Geopolymers

Fly ash-based geopolymers are being developed as sustainable alternate binders for producing concrete. The consistent production of a stable geopolymeric binder suitable for use in structural applications from alkaline activation of low-calcium fly ash was ...

Impact of cation redox chemistry on continuous hydrothermal synthesis of 2D-Ni(Co/Fe) hydroxides

Andreas Stephan Lesch, Massimo Rosa

Continuous hydrothermal flow synthesis (CHFS) is a facile, upscalable and cost-efficient synthetic method enabling the nanostructuring of advanced functional materials in steady conditions, i.e. not in batch synthesis. In this paper, we use CHFS to crystal ...

Investigation of the use of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3) applied to Thailand

Wilasinee Hanpongpun

The replacement of clinker with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) is the most interesting solution to reduce the CO2 emissions from cement production. The abundant availability of clays, which have a sufficient amount of kaolinite content in Thai ...

Utilisation of alkali activated glass powder in binary mixtures with Portland cement, slag, fly ash and hydrated lime

Hamed Maraghechi

This paper evaluates feasibility of alkali activation to boost the reactivity and cementitious properties of recycled glass powder ( GP), when it is used in four different binary mixtures with ordinary Portland cement ( OPC), alkali activated slag or fly a ...

Xenon Recovery at Room Temperature using Metal-Organic Frameworks

Daniele Ongari

Xenon is known to be a very efficient anesthetic gas, but its cost prohibits the wider use in medical industry and other potential applications. It has been shown that Xe recovery and recycling from anesthetic gas mixtures can significantly reduce its cost ...
