Continued greenhouse gas emissions will lead to increasing global warming. Effective adaptation and mitigation policies depend on accurately estimating climate sensitivity, the Earth's surface temperature response to increasing CO2 emissions. Global Climat ...
Decarbonizing China's energy system requires both greening the power supply and electrifying end-use sectors. However, concerns exist that electrification may increase emissions while coal power dominates. Using a global climate model, we explore electrifi ...
Solid-state transformer (SST) is a recent evolution of power-electronics-based conversion technology that has the potential to revolutionize many fields. It fulfills all the functionalities of traditional low-frequency transformers and enables additional c ...
The urban form and extreme microclimate events can have an important impact on the energy performance of buildings, urban comfort and human health. State-of-the-art building energy simulations require information on the urban microclimate, but typically re ...
Long-term durability is critically important for the commercialization of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The ionic character of the perovskite and the hydrophilicity of commonly used additives for the hole-transporting layer (HTL), such as lithium bis(trif ...
