Towards a Positive Energy District

, 2022
Urban neighborhoods that work toward carbon-free, climate-neutral goals, attain a positive energy balance, and aspire for excess renewable energy production are defined as Positive Energy Districts (PEDs). PEDs are designed to contribute to sustainable urban growth, and it is also true that sustainable urban growth can lead to the creation of PEDs ...

Composition‐Tuned Enhancement of the Anomalous Nernst Effect in FeCo–Pt Thin Films on Rigid and Flexible Substrates

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Disordered (Fe50Co50)1−xPtx thin films exhibit a pronounced anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) with a strong composition dependence on both rigid and flexible substrates. The transverse thermoelectric response peaks near 22.5 at.% Pt, accompanied by enhanced αxy/σxy scaling, thermal transport, and ANE sensitivity.
