Robust structure and superhydrophobic PLA/ZrO2 fiber aerogel for daytime radiative cooling
Daytime radiative cooling as an environmentally energy-saving strategy, achieves cooling without any power consumption by reflecting sunlight and radiating energy to outer space. In our work, an eco-friendly and degradable poly (lactic acid) (PLA) fibers

ABSTRACT The present study applied the diffusion of innovation theory to investigate the rate of diffusion of renewable energy sources used by Europe's top professional football stadiums and the relationship with carbon neutrality. A discrete diffusion model estimated the diffusion of renewable energy to saturation, and a multivariate logistic ...

Recent Progress in Daytime Radiative Cooling: Is It the Air Conditioner of the Future?
Radiative cooling is a well-researched area. For many years, surfaces relying on radiative cooling failed to exhibit a sub-ambient surface temperature under the sun because of the limited reflectance in the solar spectrum and the reduced absorptivity in ...

Selection of polymers with functional groups for daytime radiative cooling
The infrared ‘fingerprint’ of polymers that many functional groups/bonds such as C–F and C–O emit overlaps with the atmospheric transmittance window and is responsible for the radiative cooling property of polymers.

The criteria to achieving sub-ambient radiative cooling and its limits in tropical daytime
While radiative cooling has been proven successful in mid-latitude regions to achieve sub-ambient temperatures, the same performance could not be achieved in tropical regions due mainly to the higher solar irradiance and atmospheric radiation.

A full‐spectrum solar‐driven tandem electrolysis system enables efficient CO2‐to‐acetate conversion by spectrally splitting sunlight and coupling high‐temperature SOEC CO2‐to‐CO electrolysis with ambient CO reduction. The integrated design achieves a solar‐to‐acetate efficiency of 15.8%, demonstrating effective energy‐quality matching for solar carbon ...

The addition of Na2CO3 or K2CO3 to sewage sludge prior to combustion leads to the production of ashes containing phosphate in the form of buchwaldite‐like phases (Ca(Na/K)PO4). Compared to conventional sewage sludge mono‐ashes, such Na‐ or K‐ashes show greatly increased P‐solubilities and proved to be potent P‐fertiliser materials in greenhouse ...

This study demonstrates the feasibility of an underground closed‐loop thermal storage facility at a post‐mining site, intended for seasonal heat energy storage. Its principal design shows water flow directions in winter and summer (1, 2), heat pumps (3), an upper water reservoir (4), and connecting pipes (5).
