Summary: This study investigated the effects of four different nanomaterials on cement paste and found that the incorporation of nanomaterials could improve the early strength of cement paste specimens and promote the formation of different hydration products at early ages. Different nanomaterials have different mechanisms in cement paste, with nano-calcium carbonate, nano-graphene oxide, and nano-silica promoting the formation of specific hydration products, while nano-titanium dioxide exhibits insignificant nucleation effect and inhibitory effect on portlandite precipitation.

Summary: The addition of 1% nano-Al2O3 significantly improved the physical and mechanical properties and durability of concrete, making the internal structure denser and enhancing the ability to resist chloride ion penetration. However, with increasing nano-Al2O3 content, the workability and resistance to chloride ion penetration of the concrete gradually decreased.

Summary: The uniform distribution of carbonaceous nanomaterials in a magnesium composite can significantly enhance the strength without sacrificing ductility. In this study, graphene oxide (GO) reinforced magnesium alloy composites were fabricated using friction stir processing, resulting in higher strength, toughness, and plasticity compared to the unreinforced condition. The microstructure of the composites consisted of individual GO nanoplatelets and GO micro-clusters, which had different effects on the deformation behavior of the matrix.

Summary: Few-layered graphene was produced using substrate-free direct current arc discharge between graphite electrodes in a specially designed reactor chamber, with different carbon structures observed in different regions of the reactor. The study found that the properties of the graphene produced were greatly influenced by the temperature distribution and gradient around the arc plasma, affecting the deposition mechanism of carbon clusters in the reactor zones.

Summary: Graphene-engineered cementitious composites are gaining attention worldwide for their enhanced strength, durability, and conductivity. This study investigated the properties of cement pastes modified with nitrogen-doped graphene (NG), graphene oxide (GO), and few-layer graphene (FLG). The results showed that NG reduced cement flow and altered the morphology of the cement matrix, while both GO and NG improved the microstructure and strengths of the cement. NG-modified cement mixtures exhibited strong self-sensing characteristics due to the presence of NG, making them promising for smart infrastructure applications.

Summary: The addition of nanomaterials to concrete improves its hardening characteristics by filling the pores efficiently. However, there is a lack of research on the impact strength of concrete at elevated temperatures when nano-cements such as NC, NS, NF, and NM are used as partial replacements for cement. In this study, different grades of concrete with various proportions of nanomaterials were tested at different temperatures. The results showed that the type and proportion of binder, heating intensity and duration, and cooling method directly influenced the impact strength of concrete at elevated temperatures. Among the nano-blended matrix, the NC mix performed the best when heated at 1000 degrees C. The MK blended concrete mix performed well before elevated temperatures, but also experienced severe damage under heat.

Summary: This study reviews the application of nano CaCO3 in concrete technology, including microstructure, hydration rate, consistency, flowability, setting time, workability, compressive strength, sorptivity, chloride resistance, and corrosion resistance. The results show that nano CaCO3 significantly reduces the pores and chloride ion penetration in concrete. The addition of 1% nano CaCO3 also reduces the chloride diffusion coefficient compared to the controlled concrete. Compressive strength improves significantly with 1-2% nano CaCO3, but increasing the quantity decreases compressive strength. The accelerated hydration reaction with nano CaCO3 improves the microstructure of the concrete by reducing its porosity. This study aims to gather findings on nano-materials for their wider acceptance and future research scope.

Summary: Barocaloric materials show great potential in solid-state cooling technology, but intermetallic materials with outstanding barocaloric effects under low hydrostatic pressure are lacking. In this study, we achieve a giant specific barocaloric temperature change in a rare-earth intermetallic La-Ce-Fe-Si-H, which is significantly better than previously reported phase-transitioned alloys. The large isotropic transition volume change in this material plays a crucial role in the giant barocaloric effect.

Summary: Two Fe-based metal organic framework (MOF) nanorod structures, MIL-88B(Fe) and MIL-100(Fe), were synthesized and evaluated as working electrodes for Li-ion half-cell batteries. MIL-88B(Fe) exhibited a charge/discharge capacity of 468 mAh/g at a current density of 100 mA/g, which was over 3 times higher than that of MIL-100(Fe) under the same conditions. However, MIL-88B(Fe) showed a slow capacity degradation after initial impressive charge/discharge performance.
