Design principles for efficient photoelectrodes in solar rechargeable redox flow cell applications

Recent advances in photoelectrochemical redox flow cells, such as solar redox flow batteries, have received much attention as an alternative integrated technology for simultaneous conversion and storage of solar energy. Theoretically, it has been reported that even single- photon devices can demonstrate unbiased photo-charging with high solar-to...

Thermal cycling of (heated) fibre metal laminates

Fibre metal laminates with integrated heater elements have a promising potential as de- or anti-icing systems in aircraft structures. The alternating metal and composite lay-up in fibre metal laminates seems ideal for the development of a multifunctional skin with embedded heater elements. However, the long term durability needs to be carefully...
