Carbonatites and Alkaline Igneous Rocks in Post-Collisional Settings: Storehouses of Rare Earth Elements
(Springer / China University of Geosciences (Beijing), 23 August 2021)The rare earth elements (REE) are critical raw materials for much of modern technology, particularly renewable energy infrastructure and electric vehicles that are vital for the energy transition. Many of the world’s largest ... -
Simulation study for a switchable adaptive polymer dispersed liquid crystal smart window for two climate zones (Riyadh and London)
(Elsevier, 21 August 2021)Polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) is an electrically switchable smart window, that can provide privacy and control solar radiation, resulting in a potential energy saving. The optical properties of the PDLC window ... -
In-situ assessment of photovoltaic soiling mitigation techniques in northern Nigeria
(Elsevier, 3 July 2021)The photovoltaic (PV) system's performance suffers from intensifying external factors such as soiling, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions with massive solar energy potential. Mitigation techniques are one of the ... -
Angular dependencies of soiling loss on photovoltaic performance in Nigeria
(Elsevier / International Solar Energy Society, 19 July 2021)Photovoltaic performance is significantly affected by soiling on its covering surface, which is strongly influenced by its tilt angle. This raises concern for the potential investor, policymakers, engineers, and local ... -
Elasticity of selected icy satellite candidate materials (CO2, C6H6, MgSO4·7H2O and CaSO4·2H2O) revisited by dispersion corrected density functional theory
(Elsevier, 1 July 2021)Seismic studies are essential for accurate characterisation of planetary interior structures, but are dependent on modelling for interpretation, requiring data on the elastic properties of likely constituent minerals. With ...
