The lattice dynamics of lithium nitride (Li<Subscript>3</Subscript>N) under high pressure are extensively investigated to probe its phase transformations by using the pseudopotential plane-wave method within the density functional theory. A new second order α↦α<Superscript>′</Superscript>-Li<Subscript>3</Subscript>N phase transition is identified for the first...</subscript></superscript></subscript>

The silica gel–water adsorption refrigeration has attracted much attention especially in the last two decades, due to its environmentally friendly refrigeration that can be powered by low grade heat source. In this paper, we reviewed the research about silica gel–water adsorption technology,...

This paper presents the description and operation of a solar-powered ice-maker with the solid adsorption pair of activated carbon and methanol. A domestic type of charcoal is chosen as the adsorbent, and a simple flat-plate collector with an exposed area of 0.92 m2 is employed to produce ice of...
