Closing the Loop in Agrivoltaics: A Radiative Cooling Coating for Synergistic Self‐Cleaning and Water Harvesting

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A nanostructured photonic‐thermal coating enables radiative‐cooling‐induced condensation and water harvesting, establishing a self‐sustaining agrivoltaics microclimate loop that transforms PV panels into active climate regulators. The integration of photovoltaic (PV) panels into agricultural landscapes (i.e., agrivoltaics) offers a promising path for ...

Correlation between superhydrophobicity and the power spectral density of randomly rough surfaces

, 2010
peer reviewedWe show experimentally and analytically that for single-valued, isotropic, homogeneous, randomly rough surfaces consisting of bumps randomly protruding over a continuous background, superhydrophobicity is related to the power spectral ...

Phase‐Change‐Activated Slippery Organogel Composite for All‐in‐One Anti‐Corrosion, Antifouling, and Self‐Cleaning

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A super‐slippery liquid‐infused composite organogel is engineered by localized interfacial grafting between hydrogel and oleogel networks, endowing the coating with a durable, multifunctional marine‐protective interface. Dynamic antifouling surfaces have emerged as a promising alternative, offering the potential for eco‐friendly and high‐performance ...

Two-photon polymerisation of synergistic re-entrant and hierarchical structures enables superhydrophobicity on hydrophilic substrates

Virtual and Physical Prototyping
Superhydrophobicity is highly desirable for a wide range of applications. However, achieving it on intrinsically hydrophilic substrates without relying on low-surface-energy coatings presents a significant challenge.

Sprayable Polyolefin Sorbents Enabled by Bio‐Solvents for Large‐Scale Oil and Chemical Spill Recovery

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A sprayable POE‐based sorbent formulated with a green solvent blend of α‐pinene, D‐limonene, and p‐cymene enables rapid in situ film formation via solvent evaporation, allowing efficient pollutant capture. The system exhibits high oil uptake (37.3 g g−1) and effectively removes up to 60 mL of VLSFO under simulated marine spill conditions.
