Title: Study on the properties of functional mineral material tourmaline

Abstract:

Tourmaline, a multifunctional mineral, is ubiquitous in nature. Its distinctive physical and bioelectrical properties offer substantial potential for environmental, medical, and industrial applications. This study investigated how the composition of tourmaline influences the release of negative ions and enhanced its emission of negative ions and infrared radiation through modification with rare earth elements. Additionally, we examined a novel type of pyroelectric material with a tourmaline structure to assess the impact of material structure on the pyroelectric effect.
