A mosaic of microclimates: biodiversity outcomes and wildlife habitat potential in large‐scale solar facilities

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities, now comprising nearly 80% of the recent and projected growth of renewable electricity, represents one of the most significant land‐use changes of the 21st century. While PV facilities are critical for decarbonising energy systems, their large spatial footprint and infrastructure

Sunlight‐Driven Green Synthesis of Platinum Nanoparticles From Double‐Vacancy Halide Perovskite Precursors for Methanol Reforming

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Sunlight‐driven synthesis offers a green and energy‐efficient route to metallic nanoparticles. Here, double‐vacancy halide perovskites (Cs2PtX6, X = Cl, Br) act as photoactive precursors for the in‐situ formation of ultrasmall (< 3 nm) platinum nanoparticles under simulated sunlight at room temperature.

Neural networks for estimating surface solar irradiation from satellite images

Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence
In this work, we present a MultiLayer Perceptron (MLP) model to estimate ground solar radiation, in terms of Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI), over a given site and for a specific time. The MLP model generates GHI estimates from the Meteosat 12-channel satellite images centered over the target location, and GHI values in clear-sky conditions over the
