Experimental investigation on flue gas condensation heat recovery system integrated with heat pump and spray heat exchanger
To deeply recover the flue gas condensation heat, a flue gas condensation heat recovery system that combines a compression heat pump (FGCHR-HP) is proposed. An experimental bench of the FGCHR-HP system was established to explore the thermal properties of the system under variable operating conditions. The experimental results show that when the inlet water temperature of the heat pump condensing heat exchanger is 50 °C and the flow rate is 40 L/min, the optimal experimental conditions are achieved. Under this working condition, the heat efficiency is 13.8 %, and the exhaust gas temperature is 26.9 °C. At the same time, the flue gas moisture recovery is up to 6.5–7.0 kg/hour, which is better than other boilers.The payback period of the FGCHR-HP system is 3.4 years. The system has achieved significant energy-saving and water-saving effects, and has certain promotion and application prospects.©2024 Elsevier.

Anisotropic moiré optical transitions in twisted monolayer/bilayer phosphorene heterostructures.
Moiré superlattices of van der Waals heterostructures provide a powerful way to engineer electronic structures of two-dimensional materials. Many novel quantum phenomena have emerged in graphene and transition metal dichalcogenide moiré systems. Twisted phosphorene offers another attractive system to explore moiré physics because phosphorene features an anisotropic rectangular lattice, different from isotropic hexagonal lattices previously reported. Here we report emerging anisotropic moiré optical transitions in twisted monolayer/bilayer phosphorenes. The optical resonances in phosphorene moiré superlattice depend sensitively on twist angle and are completely different from those in the constitute monolayer and bilayer phosphorene even for a twist angle as large as 19°. Our calculations reveal that the Γ-point direct bandgap and the rectangular lattice of phosphorene give rise to the remarkably strong moiré physics in large-twist-angle phosphorene heterostructures. This work highlights fresh opportunities to explore moiré physics in phosphorene and other van der Waals heterostructures with different lattice configurations

Dimensionality-driven metal to Mott insulator transition in two-dimensional 1T-TaSe2
Two-dimensional materials represent a major frontier for research into exotic many-body quantum phenomena. In the extreme two-dimensional limit, electron-electron interaction often dominates over other electronic energy scales, leading to strongly correlated effects such as quantum spin liquid and unconventional superconductivity. The dominance is conventionally attributed to the lack of electron screening in the third dimension. Here, we discover an intriguing metal to Mott insulator transition in 1T-TaSe2 that defies conventional wisdom. Specifically, we find that dimensionality crossover, instead of reduced screening, drives the transition in atomically thin 1T-TaSe2. A dispersive band crossing the Fermi level is found to be responsible for the bulk metallicity in the material. Reducing the dimensionality, however, effectively quenches the kinetic energy of these initially itinerant electrons, and drives the material into a Mott insulating state. The dimensionality-driven metal to Mott insulator transition resolves the long-standing dichotomy between metallic bulk and insulating surface of 1T-TaSe2. Our work further reveals a new pathway for modulating two-dimensional materials that enables exploring strongly correlated systems across uncharted parameter space
