The Utilization of Electrochromic Materials for Smart Window Applications in Energy-Efficient Buildings
Jelle B.P., Gao T., SINTEF Building and Infrastructure / Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), NO
The utilization of electrochromic materials (ECM) and windows (ECW) for smart window applications in energy-efficient buildings has a large potential. The ECWs are able to regulate the solar radiation throughput by application of an external [...]
Photocatalytic activity of commercial TiO2 oxides in the oxidation reaction of nitric oxide
Luévano-Hipólito E., Martínez-de la Cruz A., López-Gallegos V.M., Garza-del Bosque H., Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon, MX
In this work will be explored the potential application of six commercial titanium oxides with different crystalline structures to act as an efficient photocatalyst in the conversion reaction of NOx gases to innocuous products as [...]
An inkjet printed NO2 sensor operating under room temperature and low humidity environment
A room temperature operation NO2 sensor base on polypyrrole (PPy) /AZO (5% Al-doped ZnO) sensing material was developed. For the environmental monitoring, the ambient factor effect for NO2 detection was further discussed. Based on the [...]
Thin-shell Concrete Structures for Low Embodied and Operating Energy and Durability
Thin-shell concrete structures offer: 1. Low construction and life-cycle cost 2. Low embodied and operating energy 3. Durability 4. Earth-sheltering compatibility 5. Seismic, storm, and flood endurance 6. Minimum materials volume 7. Rapid shell construction [...]
Ag Nanoparticles as Low Emissivity Coating Materials for Window Glazing Applications
We communicate here the application of Ag nanoparticles as low-e coating materials, which may bridge the vast effort on the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles and the great potential of improving the energy feature of building [...]
