Cooling Performance Prediction of Particle-Based Radiative Cooling Film Considering Particle Size Distribution.

Here, we present a novel protocol concept for quantifying the cooling performance of particle-based radiative cooling (PBRC). PBRC, known for its high flexibility and scalability, emerges as a promising method for practical applications. The cooling power, one of the cooling performance indexes, is the typical quantitative performance index, representing its cooling capability at the surface.

Enhanced Salt Removal of Fresh Water by Recovery-Reduced Ion Concentration Polarization Desalination.

Here, we examine electromembrane systems for low-concentration desalination applicable to ultrapure water production. In addition to electrodialysis and ion concentration polarization (ICP) desalination, we propose a recovery-reduced ICP strategy for reducing the width of the desalted outlet for a higher salt removal ratio (SRR). The correlation between conductivity changes and thickness of the ion depletion zone is identified for electrodialysis, ICP (1:1), and ICP (3:1) with a low-concentration feed solution (10 mM, 1 mM, 0.

Development of High-Performance Flexible Radiative Cooling Film Using PDMS/TiO Microparticles.

Radiative cooling, which cools an object below its surrounding temperature without any energy consumption, is one of the most promising techniques for zero-energy systems. In principle, the radiative cooling technique reflects incident solar energy and emits its thermal radiation energy into outer space. To achieve maximized cooling performance, it is crucial to attain high spectral reflectance in the solar spectrum (0.
