Framing Effects03:26

Framing Effects

7.9K
Information is everywhere and its presentation—such as how and when items are presented—can impact our perceptions and decisions surrounding the info. This broad concept umbrellas framing effects—influences that occur due to the way information is framed in its appearance, whether it’s purely the order or the specific wording of a message. Let’s take a look at numerous ways in which two versions of something can objectively say the same thing, yet we respond in...

What is Conservation Biology?

24.0K
Conservation biology is a scientific field that focuses on the preservation of biodiversity in order to protect ecosystems while meeting the needs of the human population. Humans require properly functioning ecosystems to maintain our supply of natural resources, including food, medicines, and building materials.

The Placebo Effect01:54

The Placebo Effect

6.8K
The placebo effect occurs when people's expectations or beliefs influence or determine their experience in a given situation. In other words, simply expecting something to happen can actually make it happen.

Surveys

16.7K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Network Covalent Solids02:18

Network Covalent Solids

16.1K
Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Energy Conversion
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) are crucial for waste heat recovery.
  • Carbon-based composites offer potential for advanced thermoelectric applications.
  • Biopolymers combined with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) present a promising avenue for cost-effective and efficient thermoelectric materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel thermoelectric material using bacterial nanocellulose (BC) and CNTs.
  • To investigate the properties and potential applications of BC-CNT composite films for waste heat to electricity conversion.
  • To create a sustainable and recyclable thermoelectric generator.

Main Methods:

  • Large-area bacterial nanocellulose (BC) films with embedded CNTs were grown in aqueous media.
  • The BC-CNT composite films were characterized for their thermal, electrical, mechanical, and optical properties.
  • A thermoelectric module was fabricated using the BC-CNT composite for n-type doping and insulation.

Main Results:

  • The BC-CNT films exhibited tuneable transparency, low thermal conductivity, and high electrical conductivity.
  • The material demonstrated excellent flexibility and stability at temperatures above 500 K.
  • The composite's porosity facilitated n-type doping, and vertical CNT phase separation acted as an insulating layer.

Conclusions:

  • The developed BC-CNT composite is a promising material for efficient and sustainable waste heat to electricity conversion.
  • The material's unique properties enable the fabrication of flexible, stable, and recyclable thermoelectric modules.
  • This approach offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional thermoelectric materials.
