Robust structure and superhydrophobic PLA/ZrO2 fiber aerogel for daytime radiative cooling

open access: yesAdvanced Industrial and Engineering Polymer Research
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

The Use of Renewable Energy in Prominent City Buildings: A Diffusion Study on Top European Football Organizations

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
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?

open access: yesBuildings, 2018
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

open access: yes, 2019
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.

Passive Moisture‐Driven Cooling via Low‐Cost and Shape‐Stabilized Hygroscopic Composite Foam for High‐Power Electronics

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
A passive moisture‐driven cooling strategy is proposed to effectively manage the heat in high‐power electronic and energy devices, reducing the chip temperature by 37°C, the lithium‐ion battery temperature by 26°C, and the photovoltaic panel temperature by 15°C, thereby to enhance the battery safety and PV efficiency with a low‐cost, shape‐stabilized ...

The criteria to achieving sub-ambient radiative cooling and its limits in tropical daytime

open access: yes, 2022
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.

Tandem Electrolysers for High‐Efficiency CO2‐to‐Acetate Conversion Driven by Full‐Spectrum Solar Energy

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
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 ...

Enhancement of the Plant‐Accessible Phosphate Fraction in Sewage Sludge Ashes by Na+ or K+ Addition Prior to Combustion

open access: yesChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
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 ...

Performance assessment of a potential underground thermal storage facility: Case study of the closed mine Prosper‐Haniel in the Ruhr coal mining area in Germany

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
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).
