Entropy generation analysis for the design of a flat plate solar collector with fins
Dyna, 2020 This article describes the optimal design of a flat-plate solar collector with fins, based on the minimum entropy generation criterion. The design parameters were optimized, considering entropy generation due to heat transfer and airflow.

Photo‐Switchable Molecular Module Programming PET Biodegradation in Aquatic Environments
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We address the plastic durability paradox by integrating an itaconic acid–derived pyrrolidone module into polymer backbones. Sunlight in water triggers Norrish Type I ring‐opening and hydrophilization, enabling rapid biodegradation into nontoxic minerals.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This work presents a closed‐loop optimization workflow integrating CatBot, an automated synthesis and testing system, to discover NiMo hydrogen‐evolution catalysts. CatBot synthesised and evaluated 228 unique samples, identifying the best performing catalysts for transfer to nickel‐foam electrodes. The best candidate is highly active, reaching 1 Acm−2${
