Bridging Horizontal to Vertical Radiative Cooling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Radiative cooling materials are mature but only work facing the sky, confining them to rooftops. Instead of developing new ones, this system bridges existing horizontal coolers to vertical windows using blades outside the glass. On an occupied urban building, windows stay up to 1.4°C below air temperature while preserving daylight, outward views, and ...

Rapid Cooling After Device Annealing Suppresses Interface Losses in Cu2ZnSnS4 Solar Cells Enabling High Efficiency and Stability

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Rapid cooling after device annealing regulates the CdS/CZTS heterojunction and Mo/CZTS back contact, suppressing interfacial recombination and modifying the interfacial MoS2 layer, thereby enabling a 15.9% indoor PCE in pure‐sulfide CZTS solar cells.
