Abstract The migration history of Jupiter in the Sun’s natal disk remains poorly constrained. Here we consider how Jupiter’s affects small-body reservoirs and this constrains its original orbital distance from Sun. We study implications large-scale inward radial for inner solar system while considering effects collisional evolution planetesimals. use analytical prescriptions to simulate growth ...

The operational constraints for a 6-electron/6-proton CO2 reduction system that operates at the concentration of CO2 in the current atmosphere (pCO2 = 400 ppm) have been evaluated on a variety of scale lengths that span from laboratory scale to global scale. Due to the low concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, limitations due to mass transport of CO2 from the tropopause have been evaluated th...

Natural photosynthesis harnesses solar energy to convert CO2 and water to value-added chemical products for sustaining life. We present a hybrid bioinorganic approach to solar-to-chemical conversion in which sustainable electrical and/or solar input drives production of hydrogen from water splitting using biocompatible inorganic catalysts. The hydrogen is then used by living cells as a source o...

Due to the demands for energy saving and environmental conservation, the development of sustainable zero-carbon buildings has become an inevitable trend. Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is a promising technology capable of producing clean electricity onsite and replacing conventional building materials. This paper designs and investigates the performance of a planar Lambertian reflecto...

Indoor lighting system incorporating daylighting effectively provides potential energy savings as well meaningful spatial and temporal variation in illuminance beneficial to human well‐being performance. Integration of the tunable liquid prisms driven by optofluidic technologies further improves solar indoor systems achieve better illumination performance higher utilization efficiency. Herein, ...

An air solar-driven open sorption system for comfort cooling is investigated experimentally in an indoor test facility. The main components of the are a solar dehumidifier and cold storage with desiccant. One operation cycle 36 h. On first day cycle, charged. At night charged on two, discharged. A material investigation undertaken to find most suitable desiccant both components, including sampl...
