Electrochromic Adaptive Solar Heater and Sub‐Ambient Passive Daytime Radiative Cooler

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An electrochromic Cu–Bi nanocluster device dynamically switches between solar heating and daytime sub‐ambient radiative cooling without mechanical motion. Defect‐activated graphene, minimized electrolyte loss, and pulse‐assisted reversible electrodeposition enable opposite solar and mid‐infrared modulation in one opaque platform, establishing a design ...

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

Hydrophobic 1D and 3D Anodic Alumina Radiative Coolers on Aluminum: Humidity‐Resilient Daytime Sub‐Ambient Cooling

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
1D and 3D nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) surfaces were functionalized with stearic acid (STA) to increase hydrophobicity and reduce the influence of humidity on radiative cooling performance. The STA coating improves cooling behavior under humid atmospheric conditions (Madrid summer), before while keeping the optical properties required for ...

Improving the Robustness of Visual Teach‐and‐Repeat Navigation Using Drift Error Correction and Event‐Based Vision for Low‐Light Environments

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Visual teach‐and‐repeat (VTR) navigation allows robots to learn and follow routes without building a full metric map. We show that navigation accuracy for VTR can be improved by integrating a topological map with error‐drift correction based on stereo vision.
