The application of TiO2 nanofluids in photovoltaic thermal collector systems
Energy Reports, 2022 Solar energy may be transformed into several types of energy, including electrical energy. Solar cell efficiency is low because some of the thermal energy that solar panels collect is not used.

Architecture‐Driven Functional Coupling in Vertically Aligned Nanocomposites
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Vertically aligned nanocomposites define a growth‐engineered architecture in which vertical interfaces, strain fields, defect pathways, and phase connectivity are created simultaneously. This review shows how these architectural features couple ferroic, optical, ionic, electrochemical, and device responses, establishing design rules and open challenges
