A High-efficient Daytime Radiative Cooling Film

International Photonics and OptoElectronics Meeting 2019 (OFDA, OEDI, ISST, PE, LST, TSA), 2019
The increase in cooling demand of diurnal human activities using mechanical systems to dissipate heat to the surroundings consumes large amounts of energy with excess heat production and CO2 emissions. The passive cooling process of the earth by infrared thermal radiation through the atmospheric transparency window (8~13 μm) inspires people to use the ...

A mosaic of microclimates: biodiversity outcomes and wildlife habitat potential in large‐scale solar facilities

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities, now comprising nearly 80% of the recent and projected growth of renewable electricity, represents one of the most significant land‐use changes of the 21st century. While PV facilities are critical for decarbonising energy systems, their large spatial footprint and infrastructure
