Dual‐Band Modulation of Emissivity and Solar Transmittance Through Chemical Composition‐Tuned Asymmetric Layer‐by‐Layer Assembly

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An unconventional asymmetric Layer‐by‐Layer (LbL) assembly technique was developed to fabricate a Fabry‐Pérot (F‐P) resonator, which enhances luminous transmittance (Tlum) and enables dual‐band modulation in both the near‐infrared (NIR) and mid‐infrared (MIR) regions.

Gecko‐Like Multi‐Directional High‐Power Magneto–Mechano–Electric Energy Harvesters for Self‐Powered, Hundred‐Meter‐Scale LoRa Communication

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Gecko like multi directional high power magneto mechano electric energy harvester (MME EH) for self powered, hundred meter scale LoRa communication. Inspired by the symmetric and flexible limb motion of geckos, the biomimetic harvester enables coordinated bending twisting responses to weak, low frequency (50/60 Hz) stray magnetic fields from power ...

Stability of Perovskite Indoor Photovoltaics: A Focused Review and a Call for Standardized Stability Reporting

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
While perovskite solar cells have been widely studied, including their stability, perovskite indoor photovoltaics (IPVs) have only recently emerged. Nevertheless, more studies are appearing in the literature. The systematic stability study of IPVs is crucial, particularly given the inconsistencies in reported methodologies and results, which call for ...
