Transition Metal Compounds as Thermochromic Materials: Classification, Properties, Limitations, and Applications

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
This review systematically examines how different transition metal compounds—such as binary and multinary metal oxides, halides, sulfides, and salts—exhibit thermochromism based on the d‐electron configurations of their transition metal cations. It focuses on three main mechanisms of thermochromism: phase transition, charge transfer, and bandgap change.

Development of a PCM-Integrated Radiant Cold-Storage System: Radiative-Cooling Film, Water Tank Design, and Outdoor Performance Validation

Energies
Outdoor environments typically require intensive cooling during the day, while nighttime cooling demands are comparatively modest. Conventional radiative-cooling systems deliver strong cooling at night but often underperform during daytime solar exposure.

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.
