Design and Implementation of Electrochromic Smart Windows with Self-Driven Thermoelectric Power Generation.

Electrochromic smart windows can achieve controllable modulation of color and transmittance under an external electric field with active light and thermal control capabilities, which helps reduce energy consumption caused by building cooling and heating. However, electrochromic smart windows often rely on external power circuits, which greatly affects the independence and portability of smart windows. Based on this, an electrochromic smart window driven by temperature-difference power generation was designed and implemented.

Passive white light cavities with metal coatings.

White light cavities with broadband resonance are usually filled with negative dispersion medium, which inevitably leads to gain. In this article, pure passive white light cavities are designed, in which negative dispersion medium is no longer necessary. Theoretically, if the reflection phase of the cavity wall can exhibit a negative dispersion slope, then it can also satisfy white light cavities conditions without medium.

An adsorption isotherm identification method based on CNN-LSTM neural network.

Context: The morphology of adsorption isotherms embodies a wealth of information regarding various adsorption mechanisms, rendering the classification and identification methodologies predicated on the shape of adsorption isotherms indispensably crucial. While research on classification techniques has been extensively developed, traditional methods of adsorption isotherm identification grapple with inefficiencies and a high margin of error. Neural network-based methodologies for adsorption isotherm identification serve as a countermeasure to these shortcomings, as they facilitate swift online identification while delivering precise results.

Phosphorus-doped helical carbon nanofibers as enhanced sensing platform for electrochemical detection of carbendazim.

A combined chemical vapor deposition with high-pressure annealing has been developed for the production of phosphorus-doped helical carbon nanofibers (P-HCNFs). The resulting P-HCNFs have a large specific surface area, well-defined three-dimensional hierarchical helical structure and rapid apparent heterogeneous electron transfer. Based on the high electrocatalytic activity, the P-HCNFs were used to develop an amperometric sensor for carbendazim detection.
