    In this study, silicon dioxide nanoparticles (SiO<inf>2</inf>NPs) mixed with reduced graphene oxide nanosheets (rGONS) and hybrid nanocomposites (S/rGOHNCs) were synthesized to study the opto-electrical, physical and electrochemical properties. S/rGOx%HNCs samples with rGONS at various loadings (10, 30, 50, and 70 wt%) were prepared SiO<inf>2</inf>NPs and rGONS suspensions in ultrasonication process by conventional heating. The SiO<inf>2</inf>NPs, rGONS and S/rGOx%HNCs were characterized and properties confirmed by XRD, Raman spectroscopy, FT-IR spectra, UV–Vis, SEM, EDX and TGA techniques. The electrical conductivity carrier concentration, energy gap, and dielectric constant increased with rGONS loading. The S/rGO30HNCs exhibited the highest thermal conductivity, 0.7 W/m·K, and Vickers microhardness, 41.0 HV. The value of electrochemical capacity of S/rGO70HNCs, 66.95 F/g, was due to the appropriate ratio of rGONS and SiO<inf>2</inf>NPs which significantly contributed to increasing redox reaction. The findings offered SiO<inf>2</inf>NPs mixed rGONS hybrid nanocomposites with enhanced optoelectrical (electrical, optical, dielectric), physical (mechanical, thermal) and electrochemical properties.

    To investigate the effect of heat loss reduction due to thermal insulator and thermal interface resistance due to multi-layer structure in order to improve the efficiency of a thermoelectric device, a thermoelectric concrete brick was fabricated using a unileg n-type CaMnO<inf>3</inf> thermoelectric module inside. CaMnO<inf>3</inf> thermoelectric materials were synthesized by starting materials CaCO<inf>3</inf> and MnO<inf>2</inf> to produce a unileg n-type CaMnO<inf>3</inf> module. Thermoelectric concrete brick consisted of two types: I-layer brick (one layer of concrete thermal insulator) and III-layer brick (three layers of different concrete insulators). The occurring temperature difference, electric current and voltage on the CaMnO<inf>3</inf> module and thermoelectric concrete brick were measured in closed and open circuits. The temperature difference, thermal distribution, and output voltage when applying constant temperatures of 100, 200 and 400 °C were measured. Computer simulations of the Finite Element Method (FEM) were performed to compare with the experimental results. The trends of the temperature difference and the output voltage from the experimental and computer simulations were in good agreement. The results of the temperature difference during the hotter side temperature of 200 °C exhibited the temperature difference along the vertical direction of the thermoelectric concrete bricks for both types of the III-layer brick of 172 °C and the I-layer brick of 132 °C are larger than that of the CaMnO<inf>3</inf> TEG module without using a thermal concrete insulator of 108 °C. The thermoelectric concrete bricks of the III-layer brick type of 27.70 mV displayed output voltage results being higher than those of the I-layer brick of 26.57 mV and the CaMnO<inf>3</inf> TEG module without using a thermal concrete insulator of 24.35 mV. Thermoelectric concrete brick of the III-layer brick type displayed higher electric generation power than the I-layer brick and the CaMnO<inf>3</inf> TEG module. Additionally, the results exhibited the capability of thermoelectric concrete brick in the III-layer brick model for electric generation power based on the temperature difference. The TEG concrete brick of I-layer concrete covering the series–parallel combination circuit of 120 modules of the unileg n-type CaMnO<inf>3</inf> was constructed and then embedded on the outer surface of the furnace. During the maximum hotter side temperature of 580 °C of the concrete brick, the temperature difference between the hotter side and the cooler side of the brick occurred at 365 °C and the maximum output voltage was obtained at 581.7 mV.

    This paper presents the influence of the graphene oxide (GO) sheet contents at conditions of 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, and 0.1 wt% on the mechanical and thermal properties of GO/CAST 11 LW mortar (GMT) composites for heat insulating brick. The GMT composites were prepared by a simple mixing method. The structure of GMT composites was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy (Raman) techniques. The small grain sizes of GMT composites were confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The mechanical properties of GMT composites are increased with increasing GO contents. A lot of functional groups in GO such as carboxylic acid reacted with a calcium silicate hydrate, CaH<inf>2</inf>O<inf>4</inf>Si (CSH), calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)<inf>2</inf> (CH) and Ettringite, and Ca<inf>6</inf>[Al(OH)<inf>6</inf>]<inf>2</inf>(SO<inf>4</inf>)<inf>3</inf>·26H<inf>2</inf>O (CA) phases in the mortar, which can be considered good mechanical properties in the GMT composites. The heat insulation values of GMT composites were improved by the interaction with the CSH, CH, and CA phases in the cement mortar on the surface of GO. The highest compressive and tensile strengths and low heat transfer rate of about 0.465 W/min were observed at 0.05 of GO (GMT_0.05) composites in the curing age of 7 days. Thus, a new pathway of GMT composites can be prepared by a simple mixing method to significantly improve the mechanical and thermal properties of mortar GMT composites.

    The temperature-dependent electrical transport, Hall effect, and Seebeck properties of bulk-reduced graphene oxide (rGO) prepared by a chemical reduction process were investigated in a temperature range of 310-475 K. The bulk rGO contained bipolar charge carriers with p-type to n-type switching at a temperature of 420 K. The materials illustrated a p-type characteristic in the temperature range of 310-420 K and n-type characteristic in the temperature range of 420-475 K. The charge transport mechanism was that of the graphene-derived 2D material in the p-type regime and governed by polaronic charge carriers.
