This Letter reports the performance of femtosecond (fs) laser-written distributed fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) under high-temperature conditions up to 1600°C and explores the impact of rapid heat treatment on signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) enhancement. FBGs are essential for reliable optical sensing in extreme temperature environments. Comprehensive tests demonstrate the remarkable performance and resilience of FBGs at temperatures up to 1600°C, confirming their suitability for deployment in such conditions. The study also reveals significant fringe visibility improvements of up to ∼10 dB on a 1-m-long sapphire optical fiber through rapid heat treatment, representing a first-time achievement to the best of our knowledge. These enhancements are vital for improving the SNR and overall performance of optical fiber systems in extreme temperatures. Furthermore, the research attains long-term stability for the cascaded FBGs over a 24-hr period at 1600°C. This research expands our understanding of the FBG behavior in high-temperature environments and opens avenues for developing robust optical fiber systems for energy, aerospace, oil and gas, and high-temperature distributed sensing applications.

A novel organic-inorganic eutectic phase change material (PCM) based on sodium acetate trihydrate (SAT) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) was developed to meet the needs of heat recovery and building heating. Three kinds of PEG with different molecular weights were selected to form organic-inorganic eutectic PCM with SAT. The thermal properties of three series of SAT-PEG eutectic PCM were compared based on DSC results, focusing on the impact of PEG addition on the phase change temperature and enthalpy of SAT, as well as the melting uniformity.

Article Synopsis
  • Rapid advancements in high-performance technologies, like EV batteries and AI systems, highlight the need for better thermal management solutions due to limitations of conventional phase change materials (PCMs).
  • A new PCM made from polyethylene oxide (PEO) and lignin was developed, addressing issues like phase leakage and instability by creating a durable interlocked structure that withstands high temperatures (up to 115 °C).
  • Testing shows that these lignin-modified PEO composites effectively absorb and release heat while maintaining their shape, making them a sustainable and efficient option for advanced thermal management, especially in battery thermal management systems (BTMSs).

The growing demand for sustainable energy storage solutions has underscored the importance of phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy management. However, traditional PCMs are always inherently constrained by issues such as leakage, poor thermal conductivity, and lack of solar energy conversion capacity. Herein, a multifunctional composite phase change material (CPCM) is developed using a balsa-derived morphology genetic scaffold, engineered via bionic catechol surface chemistry.

Photothermal therapy (PTT) utilizing cyanine dyes (Cy) and nitric oxide (NO) gas therapy via BNN6 have demonstrated significant potential in cancer treatment. However, the rapid clearance of these small molecules from the body limits their accumulation at tumor sites, thereby reducing therapeutic efficacy. To address this, we employed the acid-sensitive nanomaterial ZIF-8 as a carrier to encapsulate Cy and BNN6, creating functionalized BNN6-Cy@ZIF-8 Nanoparticles (B-C@Z NPs) for the targeted delivery and release of Cy and BNN6 at tumor sites.
