Alkali Activated

Development of low thermal conductivity and high strength building materials is an emerging strategy to solve the heavy energy consumption of buildings. This study develops sustainable alkali activated materials (AAMs) for structural members from waste expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to simultaneously meet the thermal insulation and mechanical requirements of building energy conservation. It was found that the thermal conductivity of AAMs with 80 vol.% EPS and 0.04 wt.% rGO (E8–G4) decreased by 74% compared to the AAMs without EPS and rGO (E0). The 28-day compressive and flexural strengths of E8–G4 increased by 29.8% and 26.5% with the addition of 80 vol.% EPS and 0.04 wt.% rGO, compared to the sample with 80 vol.% EPS without rGO (E8). In terms of compressive strength, thermal conductivity, and cost, the efficiency index of E8–G4 was higher than those of other materials. A building model made from AAMs was designed using building information modeling (BIM) tools to simulate energy consumption, and 31.78% of total energy consumption (including heating and cooling) was saved in the building operation period in Harbin City, China. Hence, AAMs made of waste EPS beads and rGO can realize the structural and functional integrated application in the future.

In this study an investigation has been conducted on the effect of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) coating on increasing the value of Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP) electrical conductivity. This coating process uses a variation of the mass ratio of LiFePO4/rGO by 90%:10%, 70%:20%, and 67%:33%. The LiFePO4 precursor was prepared using the sol-gel rute from the main commercial materials, namely Li2CO3 powder as a source of lithium ions, FeCl2.4H2O as a source of iron and NH4H2PO4 powder as a phosphate source. As for the coating used rGO extracted from coconut shell waste. The samples were calcined with temperature variations of 600°C, 650°C and 700°C in an argon environment for 10 hour. The phase purity and crystal structure of LiFePO4 were analyzed using XRD. The analysis of data from XRD was done using the the Match!, Rietica, and MAUD software. Based on the results of XRD analysis, LiFePO4 with high purity and good crystallinity was obtained when the sample was calcined at temperature of 700°C. The results of the MAUD analysis show that the best size of LiFePO4 crystal is 86,54 nm. LiFePO4/rGO nanocomposite was successfully synthesized by mechanical ultracentrifugation method. The characterization of the value of electrical conductivity, carried out using a four-point probe. The results show that the greater the percentage of rGO, the higher the value of electrical conductivity. The mass ratio of 67% LiFePO4 and 33% rGO shows an increment in good conductivity values, from the original order of 10-8 S/cm to the order of 10-4 S/cm.
