A risk-risk assessment framework for solar radiation modification

, 2021
Concern about the increasingly high-probability, high-impact risks posed by global warming is driving the exploration of new techniques to artificially cool the planet through an approach known as solar radiation modification (SRM). Would the world be better off with or without such techniques? Would there be winners and losers?

Charge Generation and Recombination Pathways in All‐Polymer Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Multimodal spectroscopy and device analysis reveal how field‐dependent charge generation, transport limitations, and non‐geminate recombination govern performance losses in all polymer solar cells. The results identify the key processes controlling charge extraction and recombination, providing insights for the design of more efficient all‐polymer ...

Interface‐Defect Synergy Engineering of Amorphous Ga2O3 for Voltage‐Tunable Dual‐Mode Optoelectronic Devices: Self‐Powered Imaging and Neuromorphic Vision

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An interface‐defect co‐engineered strategy enables bias‐programmable integration of self‐powered photodetection and low‐power synaptic functionalities within a single‐material amorphous Ga2O3 device. This design achieves reversible switching via voltage modulation, supporting high‐contrast imaging and visual memory, and demonstrates a neuromorphic ...

UV Irradiance Enhancements by Scattering of Solar Radiation from Clouds

Atmosphere, 2015
Scattering of solar radiation by clouds can reduce or enhance solar global irradiance compared to cloudless-sky irradiance at the Earth’s surface. Cloud effects to global irradiance can be described by Cloud Modification Factors (CMF).

Reconstructing Quantum Dot Surfaces via Dual‐Functional Ligand Pairing Enables Efficient Shortwave Infrared Optoelectronics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents a ligand‐pairing strategy that reconstructs lead sulfide quantum dot surfaces for efficient short‐wave infrared optoelectronics. A low‐reactivity thiourea precursor combined with hydrobromic acid enables monodisperse and fully passivated quantum dots.

Identification of non-linear autoregressive models with exogenous inputs for room air temperature modelling

Energy and AI, 2022
This paper proposes non-linear autoregressive models with exogenous inputs to model the air temperature in each room of a Danish school building connected to the local district heating network. To obtain satisfactory models, the authors find it necessary
