The bricks＇ matrices include three void spaces which are filled during construction with either clay-grass mixture or with entirely clay matter. After measuring the diffusivity of the clay matter and cement bricks samples utilizing the Flash method, we determine the ＂H＂ shape bricks＇ thermal equivalent conductivity using the HEAT software. The house, modeled utilizing the TRNSYS software, reveals that, besides their economical and environmental advantages, houses constructed with ＂H＂ shape bricks filled with clay, show approximately the same energy consumption patterns as void cement bricks houses. On the other hand, houses built utilizing ＂H＂ shape bricks filled with clay-grass mixture, which have low thermal conductivity, show a reduced air conditioning load. We also study the influence of the building orientation on the energy consumption.展开更多

Their extraordinary hydrophobic performance is highly suitable for electrode applications in lithium ion batteries and supercapacitors which often employ organic electrolytes. Also the hydrophobic features enable the oil enrichment for the crude oil separation from seawater. The ever reported synthesis routes towards such a composite either involve complicated multi-step reactions, e.g., chemical vapor depositions, or lead to insufficient extru- sion of carbon nanotubes in the chemical reductions of graphene oxide, e.g., fully embedding between the compact graphene oxide sheets. As a consequence, the formation of standalone carbon nanotubes over graphene sheets remains of high interests. Herein we use the facile flash light irradiation method to induce the reduction of graphene oxides in the presence of carbon nanotubes. Photographs, micrographs, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis all indicate that graphene oxides has been reduced. And the contact angle tests confirm the excellent hydrophobic perfor- mances of the synthesized carbon nanotube/reduced graphene oxide composite films. This one-step treatment represents a straightforward and high efficiency way for the reduction of carbon nanotubes/graphene oxides composites.展开更多
