Photocatalytic Water Splitting on the Lunar Surface: Prospects for In Situ Resource Utilization

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Water has been found in craters on the moon nearby locations which are illuminated >80% of the time. Photocatalysis uses energy from sunlight to drive chemical reactions such as water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen. It is a scalable technology that requires lighter equipment and utilizes resources available on the moon. ABSTRACT The discovery

Advancing on a Dynamic Metric to Assess Daylight Sufficiency Based on People's Perception of Daylight Availability in the Tropics

Building and Environment
Dynamic daylight metrics provide valuable information about indoor daylighting performance over time. While a dynamic metric representing occupants’ perception is still needed, no consensus exists about the best-fitted metric and its targets. We hypothesize that outdoor daylight availability drives the perception of sufficient daylight indoors.

Morphology‐Controlled Silica Nanoparticle Coatings for Transparent Radiative Cooling

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Transparent radiative cooling coatings are achieved by immobilizing solid and hollow silica spheres on glass. Particle morphology within sub‐monolayer coatings is shown to govern the trade‐off between visible and atmospheric window reflectance. Hollow‐sphere structures enable reduced thermal emission losses while preserving transparency, highlighting ...
