Fluorescent Colored Passive Radiative Cooling Based on Carbon Dots for Cooling Power Recovery

open access: yesEcoEnergy, EarlyView.
We demonstrate colored passive radiative coolers consisting of a highly reflective porous ceramic base covered by an eco‐friendly luminescent carbon dot‐polymer composite, with two types of carbon dots enabling conversion of either ultraviolet or visible light, respectively.

Environmental Statecraft, Fragmented Authoritarianism, and Technocratic Governance: The Structure and Agency of China's Local Environmental Politics

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Local environmental politics in China is often said to be dominated by state‐controlled modes of multi‐level governance. However, top‐down governance is embedded within and transformed by local politics, adding complexity to governance practices and environmental outcomes.

Hydroflux Access to Hydroxide‐Free Yttrium Oxovanadate and Arsenite Layers: K6[Y(VO4)3]·2H2O, K6[Y(VO4)3], and Na3[Y(AsO3)2]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, EarlyView.
Strongly alkaline hydroflux media commonly yield hydroxide‐rich rare‐earth compounds. In contrast, K6[Y(VO4)3]·2H2O, its anhydrate K6[Y(VO4)3], and Na3[Y(AsO3)2] show that the low activity of water in the medium can favorcondensation into extended hydroxide‐free Y─O─V and Y─O─As networks instead of isolated hydroxo complexes.

Evaluating Daylighting Gains from Window Geometry Reconfiguration in a Classroom under a Subtropical Climate

open access: yesJournal of Daylighting
Daylighting is a key aspect of educational building design, supporting both visual comfort and energy efficiency. However, design practice often reduces the role of windows to aperture ratios, with limited attention to the influence of window geometry on
