TL;DR: In this article, a post-industrial ceramic called Cofalit® was used as a filler material in a molten salt direct thermocline storage system, which demonstrated relevant properties to store thermal energy by sensible heat up to 1100°C and is very inexpensive.

TL;DR: In this article, three different carbon foams such as graphitized macro-mesoporous carbon (GMMC), amorphous macroporous carbon foam (AMMC), and graphitized macroporic carbon (GMC) foam were fabricated and their physicochemical and mechanical properties were systematically measured and compared.

TL;DR: In this article, the highly exothermic solid-state reaction between hexachlorobenzene and calcium hydride was investigated and it was shown that the reaction displays a self-sustaining character in the CaH2/C6Cl6 molar ratio of 3:18.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of mechanical activation of reactants on the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis of TaSi 2 and Ta 5 Si 3 was investigated, and a mechanism for the combustion process was proposed on the basis of the microstructural evolution in quenched reactions.

TL;DR: In this article, an ongoing study concerning mechanochemical dehalogenation reactions carried out under autopropagating high-temperature regimes is presented. But no residual traces of the organohalide compound were found in the reacted powders or in the gaseous phase sampled from the headspace of the milling reactor.
