Spectrally Coordinated Plasmonic–Photothermal Photocatalysts for Mineralization of Mixed Indoor VOCs Under White LED Illumination

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A plasmonic–photothermal–photocatalytic hybrid comprising Cu(II)‐grafted TiO2, yolk–shell Au@SiO2, and reduced graphene oxide sheets (CuT/AuSi‐GS) harvests full‐spectrum white light‐emitting diode (LED) light via complementary photocatalytic oxidation, localized surface‐plasmon‐resonance‐induced electric‐field enhancement, and photothermal acceleration.

Analysis of Thermal Losses in the Flat-Plate Collector of a Thermosyphon Solar Water Heater

Research Journal of Physics, 2007
The performance of any solar water heater is largely affected by the losses experienced within the system. This research reports the effect of wind speed, number of glazing cover, ambient temperature, gap spacing between absorber plate and the glazing cover, tilt angle and the emissivity of the absorber plate on the overall heat-loss coefficient ofa ...
