Micro-arc oxidation (MAO) ceramic coatings were formed on TC4 alloy surface in silicate and metaphosphate electrolytes based with K₂ZrF₆ for various concentrations. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to characterize the phase composition, microstructure and chemical compositions of the coatings. The infrared emissivity of the coatings was measured at 50 °C in a wavelength range of 8-20 µm. The microstructural observations all revealed the typical porousstructures. Moreover, adecline in roughness and thickness of the prepared coatings can be observed when the concentration of K₂ZrF₆ increases. Combined with the results of XRD and XPS, it was found that all the oxides existed as the amorphous form in the coatings except the TiO₂ phase. The coatings exhibited the highest infrared emissivity value (about 0.89) when the concentration of K₂ZrF₆ was 6 g/L, which was possibly attributed to the defect microstructure and the optimal role of ZrO₂.

Dual-band electrochromic devices capable of the spectral-selective modulation of visible (VIS) light and near-infrared (NIR) can notably reduce the energy consumption of buildings and improve the occupants' visual and thermal comfort. However, the low optical modulation and poor durability of these devices severely limit its practical applications. Herein, we demonstrate an efficient and flexible bifunctional dual-band electrochromic device which not only shows excellent spectral-selective electrochromic performance with a high optical modulation and a long cycle life, but also displays a high capacitance and a high energy recycling efficiency of 51.

The rational design of microwave absorption (MA) material featuring light weight, wide absorption bandwidth, and infrared stealth property is crucial for military stealth and health protection but remains challenging. Herein, an innovative N-doped carbon nanocage-in-microcage structure with tunable carbon-coated Ni (NC/Ni(HS)) is reported via a reliable Ni-catalyzed and Ni-templated method. The hierarchically hollow structure of nanocage-in-microcage composites can optimize the impedance matching and respond to multiple reflections and scattering of incident microwaves and infrared waves.

Patterned solid surfaces with wettability contrast can enhance liquid transport for applications such as electronics thermal management, self-cleaning, and anti-icing. However, prior work has not explored easy and scalable blade-cut masking to impart topography patterned wettability contrast on aluminum (Al), even though Al surfaces are widely used for thermal applications. Here, we demonstrate mask-enabled topography contrast patterning and quantify the resulting accuracy of the topographic pattern resolution, spatial variations in surface roughness, wettability, drop size distribution during dropwise condensation, and thermal emissivity of patterned Al surfaces.

Manipulating the thermal emission in the infrared (IR) range significantly impacts both fundamental scientific research and various technological applications, including IR thermal camouflage, information encryption, and radiative cooling. While prior research has put forth numerous materials and structures for these objectives, the significant challenge lies in attaining spatially resolved and dynamically multilevel control over their thermal emissions. In this study, a one-step ultrafast laser writing technique is experimentally demonstrated to achieve position-selective control over thermal emission based on the phase-change material GeSbTe (GST).
