摘要

In some high-altitude areas, solid particle erosion and ice accretion on the wind turbine blades may reduce the power generation efficiency. In view of this, a flexible thermoplastic polyurethane@carbon nanotube/graphene nanoplatelet composite film with rapid electrothermal deicing performance and excellent solid particle erosion resistance was prepared via a simple “spray-hot pressing” method. With a low filler content (2 wt%), the film can heat up to 96.5 °C at 9 V, showing a rapid deicing (150 s). Additionally, it exhibits outstanding photothermal performance (reaching 74.2 °C at 100 mW cm−2) that can assist in deicing and anti-icing. Furthermore, the solid particle erosion resistance has been improved with a low erosion rate of 0.20%. Due to the unique sandwich structure, the film has a high tensile strength and elongation at break, reaching 48.5 MPa and 795.0%, respectively. This work provides a simple approach to protect wind turbine blades in extreme environments.

Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C cover high quality studies across all fields of materials chemistry. The journals focus on those theoretical or experimental studies that report new understanding, applications, properties and synthesis of materials. The journals have a strong history of publishing quality reports of interest to interdisciplinary communities and providing an efficient and rigorous service through peer review and publication. The journals are led by an international team of Editors-in-Chief and Associate Editors who are all active researchers in their fields. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C are separated by the intended application of the material studied. Broadly, applications in energy and sustainability are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry A, applications in biology and medicine are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry B, and applications in optical, magnetic and electronic devices are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry C. More than one Journal of Materials Chemistry journal may be suitable for certain fields and researchers are encouraged to submit their paper to the journal that they feel best fits for their particular article. Example topic areas within the scope of Journal of Materials Chemistry A are listed below. This list is neither exhaustive nor exclusive. Artificial photosynthesis Batteries Carbon dioxide conversion Catalysis Fuel cells Gas capture/separation/storage Green/sustainable materials Hydrogen generation Hydrogen storage Photocatalysis Photovoltaics Self-cleaning materials Self-healing materials Sensors Supercapacitors Thermoelectrics Water splitting Water treatment
