The durability of reinforced concrete structure will be threatened because of corrosion. In view of this situation, in this study, from the perspective of super hydrophobic to improve the durability of concrete materials, a high-performance super hydrophobic concrete material is proposed. The material uses the principle of "binary coordination," which mixes fluorosilane and steel fiber into the composition of concrete, and sets up a copper net on its surface, thus forming a micro-nano-composite structure, making the concrete have a super hydrophobic surface. When characterizing the proposed concrete material, the contact angle of super hydrophobic concrete is 158.3°, rolling angle is 7.6°, and the contact between droplets and concrete conforms to Cassie Baxter model. In the study of corrosion resistance, standard maintenance environment and oxygen diffusion dry wet cycle environment are studied. During the test, a long-term immersion method is used, and the immersion period is set to (30 d, 50 d, 80 d). Compared with different environments, it is found that super hydrophobic concrete has strong corrosion resistance, which shows that the doping of fluorosilicane and steel wire can significantly improve the impermeability of concrete.

Aluminum Alloy Surface

In order to improve the corrosion resistance property of the aluminum alloy surface, a simple chemical immersion method was developed for fabricating the super-hydrophobic surface on aluminum alloy. After treating the chemical etched surface using low surface energy material stearic-acid, the aluminum alloy surface exhibits a super-hydrophobic property with water contact angle of 154° and contact angle hysteresis of 7°. The surface morphology was inspected with scanning electron microscope, and it was found that the surface was configured in a labyrinth structure with convexity and caves of micro-nanostructure; this hierarchical micro-nanostructure plays an important role in the formation of the super-hydrophobic surface. The effects of the etching time and the etchant (potassium permanganate solution) concentration on the super-hydrophobic surface were investigated, and the optimum technical conditions are that etching the aluminum alloy in 0.1mol/L potassium permanganate solution concentration for 3 h. At the same time, we also studied the wettability of the aluminum alloy super-hydrophobic surface. The results showed that the super-hydrophobic aluminum alloy has good stability, corrosion resistance property and self-cleaning.

In this work, CeMgAl-LDHs protective thin films were developed directly on the anodized aluminum surface, and on the “hot water-sealed” anodized aluminum specimens. The synthesized coatings were investigated by SEM-EDS and XRD and through long-term electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) spectra. The growth of CeMgAl-LDHs into/onto the micropores/defects of anodized film was found to significantly improve the LDH barrier properties with delaying coating degradation compared to LDHs developed on the “hot water-sealed” surface. The unmodified LDHs “without cerium addition” were also developed to compare the influence of cerium on the structural and electrochemical properties of LDHs. It is also noteworthy that LDHs grown on the anodized surface provided dense and finer growth, while the addition of cerium ions was found to exhibit influential higher long-term corrosion resistance properties after the 1200 h immersion period.

Solar energy and ambient heat are two inexhaustible energy sources for addressing the global challenge of energy and sustainability. Solar thermal battery based on molecular switches that can store solar energy and release it as heat has recently attracted great interest, but its development is severely limited by both low energy density and short storage stability. On the other hand, the efficient recovery and upgrading of low-grade heat, especially that of the ambient heat, has been a great challenge. Here we report that solar energy and ambient heat can be simultaneously harvested and stored, which is enabled by room-temperature photochemical crystal-to-liquid transitions of small-molecule photoswitches. The two forms of energy are released together to produce high-temperature heat during the reverse photochemical phase change. This strategy, combined with molecular design, provides high energy density of 320-370 J/g and long-term storage stability (half-life of about 3 months). On this basis, we fabricate high-performance, flexible film devices of solar thermal battery, which can be readily recharged at room temperature with good cycling ability, show fast rate of heat release, and produce high-temperature heat that is >20<sup> o</sup>C higher than the ambient temperature. Our work opens up a new avenue to harvest ambient heat, and demonstrate a feasible strategy to develop high-performance solar thermal battery.
