Photothermal regulation concerning solar harvesting and repelling has recently attracted
significant interest due to the fast-growing research focus in the areas of solar heating for …

Extending the portfolio of novel stimuli‐responsive, high‐refractive‐index (RI) materials
besides titania is key to improve the optical quality and sensing performance of existing …

Hydrogen generation from water-gas shift (WGS) reaction requires the import of secondary
energy, making it unsuitable for large scale applications. Herein, we present a new scalable …

This study demonstrates a design that maximizes the power radiated into free space from a
monolayer of nanoemitters embedded in a flexible distributed Bragg reflector conformably …

Using a one-dimensional photonic crystal (1DPhC) film is a promising photoprotection
technique for transparent polymer products, since it can be designed to selectively reflect UV …

Titanium oxide films were deposited at room temperature and with no applied bias using a
filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) system in a reactive oxygen environment. The …

Sunlight-driven toluene elimination system faces the problems of low reaction rate,
secondary pollution, and especially tricky to large-scale production. In this work, we used a …

Reflecting components based on photonic crystals that are optimized to reflect the Sun
irradiation are very useful for energy applications. The employment of photonic structures as …

The optimisation of the specular reflectance of solar collectors is a key parameter to increase
the global yield of concentrated solar power (CSP) plants. In this work, the influence of …

Nanoporous media scatter a small fraction of the light propagating through them, even if
pore sizes are significantly smaller than the characteristic visible wavelengths. The …
