Humidity‐Controlled Smart Window with Synchronous Solar and Thermal Radiation Regulation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 33, September 4, 2025.
A humidity‐responsive PTFE/PVA composite membrane with a nanoporous structure is developed and integrated between double glazing for the construction of smart windows. By modulating the interlayer humidity levels, this system achieves dynamic solar modulation (54.4%) and thermal radiation modulation (51.4%) via reversible water vapor adsorption ...

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

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 26, July 10, 2025.
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

Facile Fabrication of Antibacterial 3D Fibrous Sponge via In Situ Protonation‐Induced Direct Electrospinning

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 12, Issue 11, June 9, 2025.
This work introduces a versatile and straightforward approach for directly fabricating electrospun 3D nanofibrous sponge using a selection of solvents, avoiding potentially toxic additives or additional steps. The most important novelty in this study is a one‐step electrospinning process that simultaneously imparts three‐dimensionality and ...

Non‐thermal plasma decontamination of microbes: a state of the art

open access: yesBiotechnology Progress, Volume 41, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract Microbial decontamination is a critical concern in various sectors, from healthcare to food processing. Traditional decontamination methods, while effective to a degree, present limitations in terms of environmental impact, efficiency, and potential harm to the target material. This review investigates the emerging realm of non‐thermal plasma (

Effect of Wall, Roof, and Window‐to‐Wall Ratio on the Cooling and Heating Load of a Building in India

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 13, Issue 3, Page 1255-1279, March 2025.
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of various combinations of walls, roofs, and window‐to‐wall ratios (WWRs) on the cooling and heating loads of residential buildings in India's composite climatic zone. Utilizing EnergyPlus and eQuest simulations, the thermal performance of three building types is analyzed across 32 cases involving two types of ...
