Radiation‐Based 3D Dual‐Mode Thermal Management Devices: Advances in Active/Passive Switching for Energy‐Saving Applications

Small, EarlyView.
Heating and cooling energy demand account for nearly half of the global energy consumption. SH and RC offer sustainable, zero‐energy strategies, but single‐mode devices lack adaptability. 3D dual‐mode devices, exploiting axial, flipping, and bending deformations, provide reversible switching with dynamic or passive control, representing a promising ...

Single Cu Atom Sites on Co3O4 Activate Interfacial Oxygen for Enhanced Reactivity and Selective Gas Sensing at Low Temperature

Small, EarlyView.
Atomically dispersed Cu sites on Co3O4 nanoparticles establish well‐defined Cu–O–Co interfacial linkages that promote lattice oxygen activation at markedly reduced temperatures. This structural and electronic modulation yields over twenty‐fold higher low‐temperature formaldehyde sensing responses than CuO nanoparticle analogues, enabling selective and ...

Trading Strategies on Local Electricity Markets Using Agent‐Based Modelling and Reinforcement Learning: Vectors to Expand Energy Communities

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Energy communities (ECs) members have a high degree of heterogeneity. Agent‐based modelling (ABM) allows for the modelling of each entity as an agent with distinct characteristics and decision rules. This is particularly useful when the heterogeneity of agents affects outcomes.

Variation on Toxic and Inflammatory Potential of Coal Smoke of Different Sources From a Region With High Lung Cancer Risk

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Excess lung cancer risk in Xuanwei and Fuyuan, China, has been attributed to household air pollution from use of a locally sourced smoky (bituminous) coal. However, the carcinogenic mechanisms remain unclear. Given the important role of inflammation in lung cancer development, this study compared the proinflammatory potentials of the ...
