In this paper, we provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in hybrid PV-T
collectors and the wider systems within which they can be implemented, and assess the …

Climate change along with our insatiable need for energy demand a paradigm shift towards
more rational and sustainable use of energy. To drive this transition, the deployment of …

MXene is a new and excellent class of two-dimensional (2D) materials discovered in the last
decade. The community of MXenes has drawn significant research attention because of its …

Photovoltaic (PV) panels convert a portion of the incident solar radiation into electrical
energy and the remaining energy (> 70%) is mostly converted into thermal energy. This …

A hybrid solar photovoltaic-thermal collector is the combination of a solar thermal unit and a
photovoltaic panel for the simultaneous generation of heat and electricity. In these systems …

By exploiting the 3 K coldness of outer space as heat sink of terrestrial thermal radiation,
passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) can achieve sub-ambient temperatures without …

In this study, a nanofluid-based photovoltaic thermal system integrated with nano-enhanced
phase change material is numerically simulated using a transient three-dimensional model …

Concentrating solar technologies are promising renewable energy systems for exploiting
incident beam solar irradiation with high exergy efficiency values. These systems provide …

Radiative cooling is an electricity-free method for solar cells to dissipate waste heat, which
has drawn much attention in recent years. In this paper, a periodic pyramid-textured …

Nanofluids have potential application as spectral beam splitters (SBSs) in
photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) systems due to their tunable spectral absorption properties …
