Performance improvement of double-slope solar still using locally sourced sand, coupled with glass cooling integration

Results in Engineering
The performance of traditional solar stills (SSs) is often hindered by inefficiencies and low rates of freshwater production. This study proposes a novel approach to enhance the performance of double slope SSs by incorporating environmentally friendly ...

Breaking Optical Transparency and Electromagnetic Performance Trade‐Offs for Transparent Reflective Metasurfaces

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A theory‐guided magnetoelectric metasurface design breaks the conventional optical transparency and electromagnetic performance trade‐offs. By preserving the electric and magnetic current paths required for efficient reflection through fine‐metal‐line structure, the developed transparent reflective metasurface achieves high optical transparency without

Spectral Splitting Using Luminescent Solar Concentrator Lightguides

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Attaching selective reflectors to the edges of a luminescent solar concentrator containing two different fluorescent dyes makes it possible to parse the incident white light spectrum into two separate edge emission wavelengths. Separation may be enhanced by aligning the dichroic dyes on the lightguide surface.

Photoactive and Ultrastable Silicon/Boron Doped Diamond Photoanodes Enable Longstanding Photoinduced Electrochemiluminescence

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a highly durable n‐Si/BDD photoanode for photoinduced electrochemiluminescence that entirely circumvents conventional interfacial passivation. By delivering a stable photovoltage under near‐infrared irradiation, the heterojunction facilitates low‐potential optical upconversion.

Physical Origin of Temperature Induced Activation Energy Switching in Electrically Conductive Cement

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The temperature‐induced Arrhenius activation energy switching phenomenon of electrical conduction in electrically conductive cement originates from structural degradation within the biphasic ionic‐electronic conduction architecture and shows percolation‐governed characteristics: pore network opening dominates the low‐percolation regime with downward ...
