Harnessing Outer Space for Improved Electrocaloric Cooling
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A novel radiative heat sink/source‐integrated electrocaloric (R‐iEC) system combines the electrocaloric (EC) effect with a thermally conductive radiative cooler (TCRC) to address heat dissipation limitations in EC devices. Utilizing outer space as a heat sink, the system achieves up to 240 W m−2 of heat dissipation performance, making it highly ...

Assessment of outdoor thermal comfort and its relation to urban geometry [PDF]
WIT Transactions on Ecology and The Environment, 2013 Microclimate conditions in urban open spaces are directly linked to the configuration of street axes and building heights and their attributes. Within street canyons, public places, and open spaces, the local microclimate depends directly on the physical properties of the surrounding surfaces and objects, producing well-known effects that can decrease ...

Active Thermal Field Integration for Marangoni‐Driven Salt Rejection and Water Collection
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A thermal gradient fabric (TGF) evaporator with an auxiliary active thermal field can simultaneously increase evaporation rates and achieve long‐term salt rejection. The auxiliary active thermal field is well integrated with solar energy to construct moderate, extensive, and circulating Marangoni flow for salt rejection.
