Sommario/riassunto

"Thermoelectric materials are important for the sustainable development of human beings because they can be used to directly convert heat into electricity. There is an abundance of low-grade heat and exhaust heat on earth, but they are usually dissipated to the environment as waste. Thermoelectric materials can be used as the active materials of thermoelectric generators and Peltier coolers. Conventionally, inorganic semiconductors or semimetals had shown high thermoelectric performance. However, they have problems such as poor mechanical flexibility, scarce abundant elements, high fabrication cost, and toxicity. Great progress has been made on flexible thermoelectric materials including polymers and polymer composites"--

Sommario/riassunto

The fluid flow in fracture porous media plays a significant role in the assessment of deep underground reservoirs, such as through CO2 sequestration, enhanced oil recovery, and geothermal energy development. Many methods have been employed-from laboratory experimentation to theoretical analysis and numerical simulations-and allowed for many useful conclusions. This Special Issue aims to report on the current advances related to this topic. This collection of 58 papers represents a wide variety of topics, including on granite permeability investigation, grouting, coal mining, roadway, and concrete, to name but a few. We sincerely hope that the papers published in this Special Issue will be an invaluable resource for our readers.
