笼形包合物是指拥有很多微小的笼状结构并能将单个原子“关”在其中的晶体,这些原子能够显著改变晶体的材料特性。据物理学家组织网9月22日报道,奥地利维也纳技术大学的科学家通过将铈原子捕获在笼形包合物中,创建出一种具有极强热电性能的新材料,可用于将废热转化为电能。当工业机器在运转过程中变热时,会散失大量热能,造成周围环境温度不必要的上升。而这些浪费掉的热能是可以通过热电材料加以部分利用的:热电材料将热的物体与冷的物体桥接在一
Cage clathrates are those crystals that have many tiny cage-like structures and can contain individual atoms “off” within them that can dramatically change the material properties of the crystal. Scientists at the University of Vienna’s Technical University in Vienna capture a cerium atom in a clathrate by creating a new material with extremely strong thermoelectric properties that can be used to convert waste heat to Electricity. When industrial machines become hot during operation, large amounts of heat are dissipated, causing an unnecessary increase in ambient temperature. These wasted heat can be partially utilized by thermoelectric materials: thermoelectric materials bridge hot and cold objects in one
