Fluorescent Colored Passive Radiative Cooling Based on Carbon Dots for Cooling Power Recovery

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
We demonstrate colored passive radiative coolers consisting of a highly reflective porous ceramic base covered by an eco‐friendly luminescent carbon dot‐polymer composite, with two types of carbon dots enabling conversion of either ultraviolet or visible light, respectively.

Thermal baselines and climate‐space geometry mediate systematic terrestrial biodiversity responses to warming

Ecography, EarlyView.
Global warming is rapidly restructuring biological communities, yet terrestrial ecosystems often appear to lack the systematic climate‐driven signatures observed in marine realms. We hypothesise that this apparent idiosyncrasy arises from neglecting the geographic structure of climate.

Synergistic Design of Composite Ionogels With Enhanced Thermoelectric Properties, Mechanical Stretchability, and Sustainable Recyclability

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
While flexible TE devices hold promise for converting low‐grade waste heat (e.g., from human skin or electronics) into usable electricity, existing materials suffer from three major limitations: 1) poor mechanical stretchability (failing to match human skin's elongation, ~20–30%), limiting wearability; 2) tradeoffs between thermoelectric efficiency (e ...

In Situ Phase Transition and Cu Doping Synergistically Regulate Perovskite Z‐Scheme Heterojunction for Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A novel in situ synthesis strategy is proposed for fabricating Cu‐CsPbBr3/Cu‐CsPb2Br5 heterojunction materials, with dual optimization of structure and composition expanding the CO2 adsorption/activation area and enhancing intrinsic catalytic activity.

Indoor air movement acceptability and thermal comfort in hot-humid climates

, 2020
Much has been done in order to understand when air movement enhancement is unwelcome. Traditionally, air velocity has been framed in terms of maximum permissible limits in order to avoid occupants' complaints due to 'draft'.
