Title: Thermal Conductivity of CaSrFe0.75Co0.75Mn0.5O6-δ

CaSrFe0.75Co0.75Mn0.5O6-δ, an oxygen-deficient perovskite, had been reported for its better electrocatalytic properties of oxygen evolution reaction. It is essential to investigate different properties such as the thermal conductivity of such efficient functional materials. The thermal conductivity of CaSrFe0.75Co0.75Mn0.5O6-δ is a critical parameter for understanding its thermal transport properties and potential applications in energy conversion and electronic devices. In this study, the authors present an investigation of the thermal conductivity of CaSrFe0.75Co0.75Mn0.5O6-δ at room temperature for its thermal insulation property study. Experimental measurement was conducted using a state-of-the-art thermal characterization technique, Thermtest thermal conductivity meter. The thermal conductivity of CaSrFe0.75Co0.75Mn0.5O6-δ was found to be 0.724 W/m/K at 25 °C, exhibiting a notable thermal insulation property i.e., low thermal conductivity.

    Materials with low thermal conductivity are essential to providing thermal insulation to many technological systems, such as electronics, thermoelectrics and aerospace devices. Here, we report ultra-low thermal conductivity of two oxide materials. Sr 2 FeCoO 6−δ has a perovskite-type structure with oxygen vacancies. It shows a thermal conductivity of 0.5 W m −1 K −1 , which is lower than those reported for perovskite oxides. The incorporation of calcium to form Ca 2 FeCoO 6−δ , leads to a structural change and the formation of different coordination geometries around the transition metals. This structural transformation results in a remarkable enhancement of the thermal insulation properties, showing the ultra-low thermal conductivity of 0.05 W m −1 K −1 , which is one of the lowest values found among solid materials to date. A comparison to previously reported perovskite oxides, which show significantly inferior thermal insulation compared to our materials, points to the effect of oxygen-vacancies and their ordering on thermal conductivity.

    Abstract

    High performance thermal insulation materials are desired for a wide range of applications in space, buildings, energy, and environments. Here, a facile ambient processing approach is reported to synthesize a highly insulating and flexible monolithic poly(vinyl chloride) aerogel. The thermal conductivity is measured respectively as 28 mW (m K)−1at atmosphere approaching the air conductivity and 7.7 mW (m K)−1under mild evacuation condition. Thermal modeling is performed to understand the thermal conductivity contributions from different heat transport pathways in air and solid. The analysis based on the Knudsen effect and scattering mean free paths shows that the thermal insulation performance can be further improved through the optimization of porous structures to confine the movement of air molecules. Additionally, the prepared aerogels show superhydrophobicity due to the highly porous structures, which enables new opportunities for surface engineering. Together, the study demonstrates an energy‐saving and scalable ambient‐processing pathway to achieve ultralight, flexible, and superhydrophobic poly(vinyl chloride) aerogel for thermal insulation applications.

    In this study, we investigate the utility of Ca2FeMnO6-δand Sr2FeMnO6-δas materials with low thermal conductivity, finding potential applications in thermoelectrics, electronics, solar devices, and gas turbines for land and aerospace use. These compounds, characterized as oxygen-deficient perovskites, feature distinct vacancy arrangements. Ca2FeMnO6-δadopts a brownmillerite-type orthorhombic structure with ordered vacancy arrangement, while Sr2FeMnO6-δadopts a perovskite cubic structure with disordered vacancy distribution. Notably, both compounds exhibit remarkably low thermal conductivity, measuring below 0.50 Wm−1K−1. This places them among the materials with the lowest thermal conductivity reported for perovskites. The observed low thermal conductivity is attributed to oxygen vacancies and phonon scattering. Interestingly as SEM images show the smaller grain size, our findings suggest that creating vacancies and lowering the grain size or increasing the grain boundaries play a crucial role in achieving such low thermal conductivity values. This characteristic enhances the potential of these materials for applications where efficient heat dissipation, safety, and equipment longevity are paramount.

    This study introduces a novel oxygen-deficient perovskite, Sr2Fe0.75Co0.75Mn0.5O6-δ, synthesized through a solid-state reaction and thoroughly characterized by Powder XRD, SEM and direct current (DC) electrical conductivity measurements. The material, exhibiting a cubic crystal structure with the Pm3̅m space group, demonstrates intriguing electrical properties. At temperatures ranging from 25 to 400 °C, the material displays semiconductor-type conductivity, transitioning seamlessly to metallic-type conductivity from 400 to 800 °C. The deliberate incorporation of cobalt into the perovskite structure is found to be pivotal, as evidenced by a comparative analysis with its parent compound, Sr2FeMnO6-δ. This investigation reveals a substantial improvement in electrical conductivity, underscoring the significance of the partial substitution of cobalt. The tailored electrical properties of Sr2Fe0.75Co0.75Mn0.5O6-δ position it as a versatile candidate for electronic applications.
