Article Abstract
As the temperature of hot spots increases in electronic devices, thermal management is a key issue for maintaining a device's reliability and performance. The usual approaches of quickly extracting the heat from the hot spots have focused on aligning two-dimensional filler along the in-plane orientation in the polymer matrix. Meanwhile, improving the through-plane thermal conductivity of polymer-based composites is as important as in-plane thermal conductivity. In this study, poly(vinylidene fluoride) composites with three-dimensional continuous thermal conductive pathways of a low melting point alloy (LMPA)/graphene were prepared through a two-step method. Poly(vinylidene fluoride)@graphene (PVDF@Gr) microspheres were firstly prepared by an in-situ water-vapor induced phase separation method. Subsequently, PVDF@Gr/LMPA composites were obtained by hot-pressing after mixing the LMPA with the PVDF@Gr microspheres. Attributed to the unique solid-liquid phase transition advantage of the LMPA and the good matching of the phonon power spectrum between the LMPA and the graphene, the PVDF@4.8Gr/10LMPA composites with 4.8 vol% graphene and 10.0 vol% LMPA exhibited an outstanding in-plane thermal conductivity of 9.41 W m K and through-plane thermal conductivity of 0.35 W m K, which was nearly increased by 245% and 130% compared to that of the PVDF@4.8Gr composites, respectively. The enhanced elasticity modulus and reduced thermal expansion coefficient were attributed to the LMPA constructing a three-dimensional continuous thermal conductive pathway along with the graphene and reducing interface thermal resistance. This study offeres a straightforward and repeatable method for fabricating highly thermally conductive polymer composites and widens the application of LMPAs in the fields of thermal management.

Selenium, as an important semiconductor material, exhibits significant potential for understanding lattice dynamics and thermoelectric applications through its thermal transport properties. Conventional empirical potentials are often unable to accurately describe the phonon transport properties of selenium crystals, which limits in-depth understanding of their thermal conduction mechanisms. To address this issue, this study developed a high-precision machine learning potential (MLP), with training datasets generated molecular dynamics simulations.

To overcome the persistent challenges of sluggish lithium polysulfide (LiPS) conversion kinetics and the shuttle effect in Li-S batteries, this work introduces a novel, cost-effective thermal treatment strategy for synthesizing high-entropy metal phosphide catalysts using cation-bonded phosphate resins. For the first time, we successfully fabricated single-phase high-entropy FeCoNiCuMnP nanoparticles anchored on a porous carbon network (HEP/C). HEP/C demonstrates enhanced electronic conductivity and superior LiPS adsorption capability, substantially accelerating its redox kinetics.
