No Charging but Protection: Lifetime Prolongation of Spontaneously‐polarized Electrets for Energy Harvesting Applications

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A bilayer protection approach is proposed for slowing down the surface potential decay of thin films of spontaneously‐polarized electret materials. The electret and the protective films are characterized, and the protection effectiveness is investigated under the effects of light illumination, water contact and mechanical impact.

Mobility paradox in compact cities: Rethinking energy equity in tropical informal settlements

Sustinere: Journal of Environment and Sustainability
Informal settlements in tropical urban areas present a complex paradox in energy performance: although characterized by compact urban form, they often exhibit significant thermal inefficiencies, inadequate daylighting, unsustainable material choices ...

Reducing greenhouse energy consumption using novelty rooftop: a simulation [PDF]

, 2017
Recently, more than 80% of total energy of commercial greenhouse in the northern hemisphere is used just for heating. Mostly, the energy loss happens up to 40% caused by the poor U-value of the façades.

Co‐Firing Slow Solidification Process for Growing Indium‐Doped Cs3Cu2I5 Single Crystals With Record‐Breaking X‐Ray Detection Performance

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A novel brand‐new co‐firing slow solidification process has been used to prepare Cs3Cu2I5: In single crystals (SCs), which demonstrate record‐breaking X‐ray detection performance. The regular‐shaped Cs3Cu2I5: In wafer obtains a high light yield (74 368 Ph MeV−1), which is the highest related to indium‐doped Cu‐based perovskites.

Air pollution exposure during training impairs performance in Thoroughbred racehorses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ambient air pollution contributes substantially to human morbidity and mortality, and athletes are recognised as a particularly vulnerable group. However, little is known about the impact of air pollution on equine athletes. Objectives To explore the relationship between air pollution exposure during the pre‐competition training ...
