Surface‐Engineered Cenospheres Encapsulating Phase Change Materials for Functional Cementitious Composites

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The global energy demand drives the need for advanced energy‐efficient building solutions. While current polymeric‐shell microencapsulated PCMs show promise for thermal energy storage, their use in cementitious materials is challenged by poor shell strength and interfacial bonding. This study develops novel cement‐compatible microencapsulated PCM using

A Prototype Toolkit For Evaluating Indoor Environmental Quality In Commercial Buildings [PDF]

, 2013
Measurement of building environmental parameters is often complex, expensive, and not easily proceduralized in a manner that covers all commercial buildings. Evaluating building indoor environmental quality performance is therefore not standard practice.

Modulating the Evolution of Metastable CaO* for the Near‐Theoretical Performance Breakthrough of Ni/CeO2‐CaO in Integrated CO2 Capture and Methanation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A low‐temperature hydrogen spillover decomposition strategy is proposed to reveal the influence of the CaCO3 parent conversion process on the properties of nascent CaO. Under the guidance of the advanced synthesis strategy, the properties of calcium‐based dual‐functional materials are maximally exploited.

Indoor PM2.5 forecasting and the association with outdoor air pollution: a modelling study based on sensor data in Australia [PDF]

arXiv
Exposure to poor indoor air quality poses significant health risks, necessitating thorough assessment to mitigate associated dangers. This study aims to predict hourly indoor fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations and investigate their correlation with outdoor PM2.5 levels across 24 distinct buildings in Australia.
