Metal vacancies in semiconductor oxides enhance hole mobility for efficient photoelectrochemical water splitting
(Nature Research, 25 February 2025)Achieving efficient carrier separation in transition metal oxide semiconductors is crucial for their applications in optoelectronic and catalytic devices. However, the significant disparity in mobility between holes and ... -
Theoretical investigation of height and width tapered microchannel cooling systems for ultra-high concentrator photovoltaic thermal hybrids
(Elsevier, 26 August 2024)This paper explores the utilisation of horizontally and vertically converging microchannel heat sinks for cooling concentrator photovoltaic systems. These are compared to a straight microchannel, which is used as the control ... -
Effects of partial shading on thermal stress and exergetic efficiency for a high concentrator photovoltaic
(Elsevier, 2 December 2023)Highly concentrated photovoltaic systems can produce higher energy yields than conventional photovoltaic panels but have yet to reach widespread deployment, partly because of lower lifetime and hence cost effectiveness. ... -
Gaussian process regression + deep neural network autoencoder for probabilistic surrogate modeling in nonlinear mechanics of solids
(Elsevier, 3 February 2025)Many real-world applications demand accurate and fast predictions, as well as reliable uncertainty estimates. However, quantifying uncertainty on high-dimensional predictions is still a severely under-investigated problem, ... -
Hydrodynamic studies of a 15 MW semi-submersible FOWT to assess the suitability of the inclusion of a damper system
(European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference (EWTEC), 2025)Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWTs) can exploit the high energy density experienced in offshore environments, with turbines now reaching up to 15 MW in size. However, given the larger size of these turbines and the ...
