Carbon nanodot with highly localized excitonic emission for efficient luminescent solar concentrator
Nanophotonics, Volume 12, Issue 21, Page 4117-4126, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) are attractive for the easy operation and high compatibility with building integrated photovoltaics due to their low cost, large‐scale and applicability. However, underutilized sunlight in visible wavelengths often impedes the advance of LSCs.

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 11, Issue 7, Page 2421-2430, July 2023., 2023 Achievable district heating systems with CO2 reduction potentials. Abstract Coal‐fired thermal power must be flexible to enable the grid absorption of inconsistent photovoltaic (PV) and wind power. Combined heat and power (CHP) coal‐fired plants are the primary source for district heating systems.
