Wind energy is the most mature renewable energy technology; however, its exploitation in cities is often met with skepticism. Thanks to their ability to operate at low wind speed regardless of direction, vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) offer an attract ...

Rapid urbanization, alongside escalating resource depletion and ecological degradation, underscores the critical need for innovative urban development solutions. In response, sustainable smart cities are increasingly turning to cutting-edge technologies—su ...

For decades, mega-events have been employed as catalysts for urban development, transforming cityscapes, and generating socioeconomic growth. More recently, however, there has been a renewed focus on repurposing industrial heritage sites for hosting mega-e ...

Improving the power output of solar photovoltaic (PV) farms is critical to maximize the potential of PV power and reduce extensive land use in the context of large-scale deployment of renewable energy. In this paper we developed an integrated solar power p ...

A reliable and aesthetically pleasing lightweight (LW) photovoltaic (PV) module for building integration is expected to develop a growing interest in the consumer market. However, its application is still limited by old buildings that are not structurally ...

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) show great promise due to their high efficiency and low manufacturing costs, yet they encounter notable challenges such as optical losses and stability issues, mainly due to high surface reflection and degradation from UV irra ...

The influence of pulsed helium plasma irradiation, with a 10 μs duration and a surface energy load of 0.2 MJ m – 2, on the elemental and phase composition, surface morphology and crystal structure of thin-film heterosystems based on CdS/CdTe was studied. T ...

Included in the dataset are detailed information into the crystallography, morphology, electronic properties, (photo)electrochemical and carrier dynamics of both single-crystal Cu2O thin films and polycrystalline Cu2O with favored crystal orientations. Mul ...

The Energy Return On Investment (EROI) is a recognised indicator for assessing the relevance of an energy project in terms of net energy delivered to society. For woody biomass divergences remain on the right methodology to assess the EROI leading to large ...

This paper presents a solution to address wear and tear of Run-of-River (RoR) Hydropower Plants (HPPs) providing enhanced Frequency Containment Reserve (FCR). In this respect, the study proposes the integration of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) wit ...

Spiro-OMeTAD has served as a crucial hole transporting material (HTM) in the advancement of efficient perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the diminished thermal stability of lithium-doped Spiro-OMeTAD (Li-Spiro) has been a limiting factor, leading to a ...

Inverted planar perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have intrigued great promise in negative hysteresis, simple fabrication process, and flexible substrate implementation, in which the shared hole transport materiel is NiOx. However, the low-temperature solution ...

The organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) achieve relatively high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) over the past few years. However, defects on the surface and at the grain boundaries of the perovskite active layers are critical factor ...
