Bridging Horizontal to Vertical Radiative Cooling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Radiative cooling materials are mature but only work facing the sky, confining them to rooftops. Instead of developing new ones, this system bridges existing horizontal coolers to vertical windows using blades outside the glass. On an occupied urban building, windows stay up to 1.4°C below air temperature while preserving daylight, outward views, and ...

NbN Broadband Plasmonic Absorbers for Efficient Hot‐Carrier Injection Toward Improved Solar‐to‐Hydrogen Conversion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Niobium nitride (NbN) broadband plasmonic metasurface absorbers provide an efficient platform for solar‐energy conversion through hot‐carrier injection. Quasi‐epitaxial NbN features a low work function of 4.0 eV, reducing the interfacial injection barrier and facilitating charge transfer into adjacent photocatalysts.

Ultrathin 2D In2O3 Nanosheets Confining Cu Single Atoms Synergized With Oxygen Vacancies for High Selectivity of Photocatalytic Reduction of CO2 to CO

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this work, we constructed an ultrathin two‐dimensional (2D) In2O3 nanosheet (In2O3‐Ns) structure based on oxygen vacancies (OV)‐rich defects and low crystallinity to anchor Cu single atoms (Cu SAs) and synthesized Cu/In2O3‐Ns photocatalysts. ABSTRACT In this work, we constructed an ultrathin two‐dimensional (2D) In2O3 nanosheet (In2O3‐Ns) structure ...

Solar thermal power plants. Where are we coming from, where are we bound to?

, 1986
The concept of constructing solar thermal power plants originated from the idea to replace the fossil fired by solar fired thermal power plants. Difficulties mostly encountered in such enterprises can be basically traced back to the fact that solar ...

Rapid Cooling After Device Annealing Suppresses Interface Losses in Cu2ZnSnS4 Solar Cells Enabling High Efficiency and Stability

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Rapid cooling after device annealing regulates the CdS/CZTS heterojunction and Mo/CZTS back contact, suppressing interfacial recombination and modifying the interfacial MoS2 layer, thereby enabling a 15.9% indoor PCE in pure‐sulfide CZTS solar cells.

Improving High‐Temperature Operational Stability of Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells Through MXene Heat‐Dissipating Layers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
MeO‐2PACz‐functionalized MXene nanosheets create a thermally conductive buried interface in inverted perovskite solar cells. The interface improves heat spreading, suppresses defects and ion migration, and strengthens charge extraction, extending T80 at 65°C from 141 to 687 h while maintaining competitive efficiency.

Synergistic Effects in Multistate Black Electro‐Thermochromic Smart Windows for Energy‐Efficient Modulation of Solar Heating

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Hybrid electro‐thermochromic smart windows are developed for dynamic climate control by integrating a redox‐matched black electrochromic gel with a paraffin‐based thermochromic film. This synergistic combination enables multimodal solar modulation, where photothermal heating from the electrochromic layer triggers thermochromic activation at lower ...
